Aloe
and HIV / AIDS
There
is a very disturbing and irresponsible tape and literature
being circulated in some circles claiming Aloe will cure HIV
/ AIDS.This is patently false. There is, to-date, no known
cure for HIV nor AIDS.
It is
true that Aloe helps to boost the Immune System by giving
it the nutrients it needs. While Aloe Vera may significantly
help, there is no scientific evidence that it can or will
rid the body of the virus (HIV) that causes AIDS.
It is
especially beneficial to keep the body more clear of the toxins
that may build up in the system from the pharmacy "cocktails"
(these drug cocktails are a scientific miracle - don't ignore
modern science in its efforts to combat HIV / AIDS), and help
keep PLWA from dehydration and malnutrition.
While
it would be beneficial for PLWA to consider drinking Aloe
Vera as a part of their daily diet, no intelligent person
would endorse those 'quacks' who claim it to be a guaranteed
cure. (They are putting profits before people.)
People
/ companies which claim Aloe cures HIV / AIDS are either misinformed
or, far worse, preying on the fears of PLWA for their own
personal gain. Such behavior is deplorable.
Until
verifiable scientific proof comes out otherwise, the stand
on this website will be that Aloe may be valuable - but the
drug cocktails now available are CRITICAL and more important
than Aloe or any other natural approach.
(Many
PLWA cannot handle the cocktails due to the toxicity that
the drugs cause to the system. As well as its legion of nutritional
benefits, Aloe may help remove the toxins more quickly and
effectively.)
Indeed,
any "cure" comes from the Immune System having the nutrients
it needs to mount a strong defense, and offense. Aloe provides
such nutrients in abundance, but modern drugs MUST be included.
If you can only afford one or the other, get to your medical
professional for the drugs.
There
is compelling evidence, however, that Aloe may combine with
the these drug "cocktails" in the fight against AIDS and AIDS-related
illnesses.
Nobody
on medication should stop taking it to switch to natural methods
instead. The current "cocktails" are critical to the treatment
of this virus. These cocktails may extend, and possibly save
your life. Don't be foolish by thinking aloe can do it all
- it can't.
Always
discuss any changes in your diet and / or exercise program
with your medical professional.Due to the importance of this
issue we will continue to post as much information as possible.
