Book excerpt: How to treat HIV comprehensively with anti-retrovirals, and complementary therapies, including anabolic steroids. This first-of-its-kind guide promotes the medical use of anabolic steroids, admittedly illegal, for the HIV+ population's long-term survival. The book details everything relevant about anabolic hormones, appetite stimulants, proper diet, new dietary supplements, and optimal exercise programs -- all backed with extensive and current research, which is: championed by prominent physicians who wrote the Foreword; co-authored by a man who has been HIV+ for 19 years; supported by anecdotal evidence. The aggressive three-pronged approach -- anabolic steroids, nutrition and exercise -- is designed to combat the most physically noticeable effect of HIV/AIDS -- the loss of lean body mass and weight, wasting syndrome. Improved lean body mass leads to improved health, including mental health, which contributes to good quality of life.

Download or read book HIV AIDS written by Victor Preedy and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants provides comprehensive coverage of oxidative stress in HIV/AIDS, focusing on both the pathological process around molecular and cellular metabolism and the complications that can arise due to nutritional imbalance. It provides a pathway for researchers and clinicians to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of oxidative stress, bridging the transdisciplinary divide between virologists, immunologists, physicians, clinical workers, food scientists and nutritionists to advance medical sciences and enable preventative treatment strategies. Very often oxidative stress is a feature of HIV/AIDs or of the treatment of HIV/AIDs. While immunologists, physicians and clinical workers understand the processes in HIV/AIDs, they may be less conversant in the science of nutrition and dietetics. Similarly, nutritionists and dietitians may be less conversant with the detailed clinical background and science of HIV/AIDs.
