How do you feel about western approaches to HIV/AIDS?
I
think western approaches to HIV/AIDS is one that is the same to western
approaches to most things-funding and research. There seems to be a lot
of funding and research for HIV/AIDS and as time goes on, more and more
information is being collected. I think that the main concern is
finding a cure rather than a treatment, and even if the side effects are
horrific, as long as the advancement of the illness is delayed, then
it's progress. Unfortunately, the virus is tricky because of how
sophisticated it is and how quickly it can change.
What are your thoughts on the prospects of a vaccine for HIV/AIDS?
I
really do hope a vaccine will be developed soon for HIV/AIDS. But part
of me knows that when it is available, the price will be outrageous.
When drugs first come out they are expensive, and it's not until after
the patent has expired that they can become more affordable. This makes
it almost impossible for people in poverty or third world countries to
receive the vaccine. Hopefully, it will become easily acceptable sooner,
rather than later
Can TCM strengthen our immune systems?
Definitely!
TCM is remarkable because it can do so many things, and strengthening
our immune systems is just one of them! TCM looks at the entire body
compared to just a symptom. It can strengthen the body's overall
functions and help eliminate pathogens that harm the immune system.
Toxic Heat, Phlegm, and Blood Stasis are example of TCM evils that can
invade the body but can be eliminated through treatments/herbs. It is
also good to use in combination with HIV/AIDS to treat side effects from medication and reduce stress and anxiety.
