Q: Do you have suggestions for alternative medicine or herbs for HIV Patients, especially how to increase energy level and stamina and help reduce the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area?

-  Gabriel, New York    

 

A: 
On your first question, no, I don't have any recommendations for alternative medicine or herbs for HIV patients. However, when I was in India working in the clinics, I met some HIV patients and they were using Tibetan Medicine for their general health. They also took medicines back with them to their respective countries and many later sent letters to say the medicines helped to raise both physical and mental energy.

These are anecdotal comments from patients who requested more medicines from the clinic. I have no clear evidence that the medicine specifically helps HIV or AIDS patients. Generally, such natural medication does not have side effects and you may wish to try it.

For the second part of your question: The Tibetan physician must diagnose the cause of accumulating fat in the abdominal area. Some causes are related to diseases that remain in the body. Some are related to a digestion power disorder which means the digestive system may be too weak to digest the food properly. In the latter case, you can try to drink one cup of boiled water with one teaspoonful of pure honey mixed in. Drink this early in the morning on an empty stomach together with moderate stomach exercises.
