Re: Any testimonials on pau d' arco, andrographis, chapparral combo?
HIV is a leukemia virus. Both pau d' arco and andrographis have long histories of effectively dealing with leukemia viruses. I have personally seen several AIDS patients turn around in days by using pau d' arco alone.
The reason I add chaparral is traditional use of pau d' arco is to add yerba mate', which is a sulfur source. The sulfur increases the antiviral effects of the pau d' arco. But yerba mate' itself is not a very effective antiseptic. Chaparral on the other hand not only supplies the sulfur, but it is also a very strong anti-viral, antibacterial, antifungal, immune stimulant, and is the strongest natural antioxidant I have found. Chaparral also helps to prevent cellular division of cancer cells, which is important since cancers are also a hallmark of AIDS. Therefore I find chaparral to be a better choice to combine with pau d' arco than yerba mate'.
The full range antimicrobial and immune stimulatory effects of these herbs is also important for a very simple reason. AIDS is not a disease, it is a syndrome (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Syndromes are not diseases, they are groups of symptoms. This means that there is more than one cause of AIDS. In fact HIV cannot cause AIDS under the original definition. The definition was changed to fit the virus after Robert Gallo, who had already been busted for scientific fraud, had lied to the world again by claiming that HIV was the cause of AIDS. As the top scientist for the CDC Gallo was about to embarrass the US government AGAIN, so they had to find some way to cover up Gallo's newest lie. Therefore the definition of AIDS was expanded to include the drop in CD4 counts, the ONLY thing HIV can do. So why did Gallo lie? Because he held the patent rights on the HIV antibody test. As long as he could convince the world of his lie he was making a fortune. And the world was looking for an answer at the time so people readily accepted the HIV/AIDS hypothesis, and the government was not going to admit to covering up Gallo's lie allowing hundreds of thousands to die based on his lie. So the cover up stuck.
For the above reasons AIDS must be addressed with full range antimicrobials and immune stimulants to address the microbes that can cause AIDS and to counter the AIDS-inducing effects of the drug AZT and its analogues.
