Re: hiv apple cider vinegar healing crisis
Good post...
I think that as far as trace minerals are concerned, selenium, zinc, and perhaps boron should of had specific mention.
NOTE: each one of these can be taken in excess and CAUTION should be exercised along with research, including the application to be applied, in this case, HIV, before attempting higher than recommended doses. As condition is improved, lower maintenance doses should be considered.
>> Zinc deficiency is, so far, the most extremely clear marker for the progression of HIV disease (including AIDS and ARC, AIDS-related condition), said Dr. Cunningham-Rundles. On the basis of numerous studies, zinc was singled out from other micronutrient as having a profound effect on the immune system. "It is likely that the low zinc levels are a consequence of malabsorption associated with the disease," she said, "However, zinc deficiency occurs very early in HIV disease and may play a more direct role." <<

Sandeep Prabhu, Penn State assistant professor of immunology and molecular toxicology. "Our results suggest a reduction in viral replication by at least 10-fold." <<

there are others, however, I believe they are covered in your suggestions.
Just ran into this and it looks to be an interesting resource...

I would also check boron out... the pharmaceutical companies seem to be making ground and having success with boron based (complexed) proteins...
What I have been finding fascinating lately is how everything works together...
the proteins, fats and carbohydrates in our body having the proper mineral to "complex" with, will become a healer and maintainer of health, even bonding with each other - look up lipoproteins and carbo proteins, etc.
Look at the work that is being done in disease research... protein this and protein that... virus - protein coat/dna/rna (proteins all)... etc.
The story of the boy in the U.K. was an example of this.
What I think we are experiencing in the increasing rates of degenerative diseases, "virus", and bacterial threats is, for the most part, rogue proteins that do not have the right mineral to bind with and then end up floating around causing illness and destruction in their wake as an acid... I suspect that this will be applicable to sugars, and fats as well.
