Update! 1.28.13

About 5 months back I felt like a got a fast Flu.. Night sweats, achy, & itchy.. I had thought maybe I was having a Herpes outbreak because I was itchy.. But I didn't remember EVER being that itchy. So I began taking L-Lysine. It did take the itchy away.. But to make a long story short, they found my liver enzymes to be raised. A lot!.. It went down after I stopped the L-Lysine, but still elevated.. (I'm not sure if it was elevated before the L-Lysine.)

So for the last 4-5 months I've dealt with Hepatitis like symptoms. Last week my blood work said I didn't have Hepatitis B or C, and I had Hep A many years back. As for Hep B, I was vaccinated 12 years back... Funny thing, after she told me I didn't have Hepatitis (which I was sold I did) my symptoms went away.. lol

Anyway, my last blood work showed great for about everything. Testosterone, Vitamin D, Sugars, and no extra diseases.. and my Viral went from 200,000 (my viral had gone up when I was feeling all Hep'ish) down to 123,000.. As for my T-cells, they messed up & didn't draw it so I don't know.. last test I was at 500 T-cells.. Which is the lowest I've ever been...

I am ready to begin a cocktail if it proceeds to get any lower than 500. I'm comfortable and mentally good with it.. I would take it for whatever amount of time it takes for me to see better numbers.. and at some point (after a year or so) go back to natural.

I go back in 10 weeks to see the results of my T-cells & Liver enzymes.

And OH YEAH! I've reduced down on my Olive Leaf from 3 grams a day to 500mg in the a.m. & 500mg in the p.m.. And added Milk Thistle twice a day... I have stopped everything else.. hoping to bring my Liver enzymes down. ~ also began juicing vegetables as well to help cleanse...

May I know why you reduce the dosage of OLE if it is effective in reducing your Viral Load? Is it because of the raised enzymes? What happen to all your other supplements that you had decided to put them aside?

I still feel you should give the neem another chance before you restart on any antiviral medication.

I discovered your site as well as two other bloggers last December 2012.
I was on CS and i quit that, all result i experienced was a low on cd4.
Iam now taking olive leaf extract. To be price Barleans Australian Olive Leaf Complex (http://www.barleans.com/olive_leaf.asp), a tablespoon at the morning.. It says it has 105mg wich out of that it has 66mg of Oleuprein standarized. Does that sound fair?

Here I shared with the world my CS testimony and a link of your site and two other guys that are following olive leaf also.

BTW.. i applaud you on taking for reference 500 as a nice number for a cd4 count.. and yes indeed it sounds you are doing very well. My goal is also to be at 500 or more without medication. Iam at 400 now.. I was at 550 6 months ago. I was diagnosed 6 months ago.

Any feedback is welcome

Have you heard of SAM-E? Pronounced "sammy." It is an antioxidant and is a potent liver detoxicant.

My Story

I believe it was 1994 I became positive, but didn't find out I was until 1995. I didn't have insurance at that time so I was tested anonymously. A few years later, I received insurance through my work & then found a local Infectious Disease Doctor. She then sent me to have blood work to see where my numbers were.

Two weeks later I had an appointment to find out my results. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but it was something like my T cells at 1,800 & my viral load was 200,000. My viral was somewhat high, but my cell count was way up there! She told me I was in a grey zone for beginning a cocktail regimen. At that time I was scared & didn't know much about the whole HIV thing. I thought "Well, I have a son in elementary school. I need to be here & healthy for him." So I told my doctor I wanted to begin treatment.

I wasn't too good at swallowing pills so I chose the simplest cocktail at that time. And that was Trizivir (Trizivir contains three different medications: Abacavir (Ziagen®, ABC), Lamivudine (Epivir®, 3TC), and Zidovudine (Retrovir®, AZT, ZDV). Before taking the drug I told her "I wanted the drug that was the least one to cause lipodystrophy." She then told me I would be safe with Trizivir. After two weeks it had brought my viral to undetectable. So yeah, it kicked butt. It kicked butt for about 9 years keeping my viral undetectable and my T cells between 800 and 1,200.

During the last 3 years on Trizivir, I began having odd feelings of being overly hungry. That nausea feeling you get when you’re hungry but more intense. I recall a time after the gym I was in a drive through line ordering food and had to open my door because I felt like I was going to vomit. And it seemed I would get that feeling once a year for a couple of months the last 3 years.

I then started to notice a little bit of lipodystrophy in my legs & face. Nothing others would pick up on at that time but I know my body well and I could see it. After noticing that change I became scared & stopped taking Trizivir. Of course my doctor wasn't happy. So being scared of dying, I began the cocktail again after 3 weeks of being off of it. The next year there were times at the gym I thought I was going to vomit and/or pass out. So here we are again (and now that I look back, I feel those times of feeling nauseous & wanting to pass out was probably a build of toxicity from the Trizivir.).

During the next visit to my “Western” doctor I happened to see a business card for a Holistic Alternative Medicine Doctor on the front desk where you sign in. I'm sure it was only up there for her patience to call for nutritional help. But I was excited because I had been thinking of taking a more holistic approach. That was my last visit to my Western doctor for 4 years. I knew or felt she would be fighting me on the natural path, and I wanted to go to someone who would encourage it. So I did.

Because I am now older, more confident, and secure in my decisions I recently started going back to my Western doctor. And she is also in my insurance network. Where the doctors who practice alternative medicine are not usually covered (at least mine weren't).

When I stopped Trizivir my viral went from undetectable to 200,000. Once I started my natural regimen I brought my viral load down, fluxing between 40,000 and 29,000. My T-cells have fluxed between 600 & 850 (mostly staying around 800). I go for regular check-ups every 3-4 months to find out my numbers, and then make adjustments as I feel needed. I say "as I feel needed" because it seems the two Alternative Medicine doctors I had went to would just check my numbers & give very little suggestions of supplements to try. I almost felt I knew more about natural supplements than they did. I wish I could find the “Herbal Guru” that knows all and could look over all my numbers & give me my ideal regimen. So until then, I'm always Googling & researching anything & everything natural that is anti-viral & immune boosting.

I've now been on a natural supplement regimen since the beginning of 2008. I'm feeling great mentally & physically. So now I want to create a blog where I could tell my story and share my regimens; to discuss supplements that have worked for me, & the ones that haven't. And I want to encourage others to do the same. I hope my experience helps others and I look forward to sharing our successes.
