AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome)
AIDSAIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is a condition where the body's immune system slowly disintegrates while under the attack of a virus called HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), eventually leading to a host of infections and tumors. This condition is always fatal, though the presence of the virus does not always lead to AIDS. In general, it usually takes years for HIV positive people to develop AIDS, which is why HIV continues to be spread despite heightened awareness: HIV carriers rarely know they are infected and therefore are often lax in taking precautions which prevent the spread of the virus. While there is no cure for AIDS, the main standard treatment with antiretroviral medications can significantly reduce the number and severity of infections while extending life for typically 5-10 years. At the same time, researchers are focusing on the phenomenon that the more severe form of the virus, HIV-1, depletes its host of four key nutrients: selenium, cysteine, glutamine and tryptophan. Recent research (e.g. this Canadian study) shows that daily doses of these four nutrients can reverse symptoms and prevent HIV-1 carriers from developing AIDS. Vitamin Global carries high quality selenium and cysteine tablets, plus an assortment of amino acid complexes which include glutamine and tryptophan as well. In addition, there are many other products which help boost the immune system which are offered below and elsewhere on our website.
