AIDS (ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME) - AIDS is an immune system disorder in which the body's ability to defend itself is greatly diminished. People with AIDS suffer from a condition called "wasting syndrome". The wasting syndrome is when the body no longer utilizes the nutrients necessary to sustain health. Anyone with AIDS can make a major contribution to his/her health by developing an individual program for immune enhancement, along with a nutritional protocol to address their individual needs.
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is responsible for AIDS. Identified in 1983, HIV progressively destroys or damages cells in the immune system, making its host vulnerable to infections. Infections caused by microbes that don't usually cause illness in healthy people can have serious or even fatal efects on people with HIV.
HIV is spread through unsafe sexual practices or by intravenous drug abuse. People with HIV often take natural remedies in addition to medications. Consult with your physician if taking any natural substances. People with HIV should not use St. John's Wort or Garlic.

Ginger is a favorite herb that is used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Next time you feel nauseous, sluggish or have an upset stomach with painful cramps, try taking ginger root capsules.
How does Ginger Root Work? Ginger has been used in ancient civilization including India, China, Greece and Rome, both as a food spice and versatile medicinal aid. Capsules, hot teas, and crystallized ginger are used to deliver a ginger-packed dose that can alleviate nausea, dizziness, inflammation, muscle aches, allergy symptoms and even flatulence.
Ginger is a natural, effective treatment for easing digestive upsets. Once in the digestive tract, it has the ability to increase digestive fluid and neutralize acids, which cancontribute to upset stomach. Ginger is a natural alternative to anti-nausea drugs and may provide an alternative solution for people seeking to eliminate side effects, such as exhaustion, which usually accompanies conventional anti-nausea medications. Ginger can also be used to relieve excessive flatulence and its associated symptoms.
Reducing nausea and dizziness is especially helpful for treating seasickness, morning sickness, post operative nausea, nausea from chemotherapy treatments, and general digestive complaints. Two separate studies showed a positive correlation between ginger and decreased nausea. One study was conducted using sailors, split into two groups. The first group was instructed to take 1 gram of powdered ginger per day, the the 2nd group took a placebo. The group taking the ginger had a significantly decrease occurrence of nausea and cold sweats, which a classic symptoms of seasickness. A second study followed women who were undergoing surgery. They were also instructed to take 1 gram of ginger, resulting in a decrease in post surgery nausea and vomiting.
Ginger also has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving abilities, which is important to those suffering from arthritis which is often a result of severe inflammation of the joints. Allergy suffers and those dealing with a cold may also find relief in using ginger, as it calms the inflammation associated with these conditions, thus reducing the duration of the symptoms. Muscle aches and chronic pain can also be diminished with the use of ginger.
General recommendations given for upsets, arthritis and chronic pain or muscle aches is to take at least 200 mg in capsule form, 1 - 2 grams of fresh powdered ginger or a fresh 1/2 inch slice of raw ginger root.
Ginger can also be used in tea form with the same therapeutic results. You can make your own tea by opening 1 or 2 Ginger capsules, mix the finely-milled powder into hot water. If you're able to obtain Ginger root at your local grocery store, steep freshly grated raw Ginger root in hot water.

Nutrient deficiencies can negatively affect any lifestyle, but athletes and those whose lives include strenous physical activity are most sensitive to a lack of proper nutrition. One of the most essential of all nutrients is Zinc, which is vital to immune system function, wound healing and healthy cell growth.
A new study finds that active individuals with diets low in Zinc (typically found in meats, eggs, seafood, cheese, beans, fortified cereals, nuts and wheat germ) may be putting themselves at risk for unhealthy cardiovascular performance. According to researchers at the U. S. Department of Agriculture, healthy adult males with low Zinc intake were found to perform much more poorly on tests of cardiovascular endurance than men who received the proper amounts of Zinc....August 3, 2005

Selenium is a vital antioxidant which protects the immune system by preventing the formation of free radicals, which can damage the body. Selenium and Vitamin E act synergistically to aid in the production of antibodies and to help maintain a healthy heart. It is also needed for proper pancreatic function and to maintain the natural elasticity of tissue in the body.
Zinc is present in nearly all body tissues, especially in the thyroid, pancreas and reproductive organs. This mineral is involved in the body's enzymatic reactions, the synthesis of proteins and in carbohydrate metabolism. Because zinc is essential to cell formation, it is needed for healing and maintaining healthy tissues. Zinc is a bacterial suppressor and a necessary element in oil producing glands of the skin. Many adolescents are deficient in zinc.
For daily supplementation, each easy-to-take tablet supplies 50 mg of essential zinc, in easy-to-digest, highly absorbable chelated form.
REMEMBER: Since zinc has a large number of interactions with various drugs, we suggest that if you do take any prescribed medications do not take zinc supplements until you have consulted with your physician.
