Great for Newbies  
With so many books written for advanced HIV and AIDS, this one stands alone. It is the perfect resource for someone who is recently infected. It also is a great resource for others, but this is the only book I re-read and refer to time and time again. I even met Dr. Kaiser for a consultation, and he offered pratical advice that focuses on overall health. I see a difference already, and I'm still med free and doing great! If you have or know someone with HIV - this is a MUST have. If you know someone who recently discovered their HIV status or who recently became infected, read this book ASAP and bring it to your HIV specialist right away.

My New Bible  
This book has caused me to look at my HIV infection much differently. Unlike many HIV/AIDS "experts" out there, Dr. Kaiser does not advocate any one way to treat HIV. His two-pronged approach.. Natural & Herbal remedies and when needed, retrovirals, makes sense even to those of us who are new to this whole thing. For example, Dr. Kaiser recommends testing for any intestinal parasites or abnormalities BEFORE initiating drug therapy. Many times parasites are present, and the drugs irritate them causing much discomfort. Doctors take the person off that regimen and switch them to a new one therby eliminating one possible combination that can be used in the future. Having knowledge of the presence of a parasite BEFORE starting the drugs allows a doctor to treat thus eliminating possible "side effects". The nutritional information in this book is also very helpful. I read this book twice- The second time I took LOTS of notes and wrote down many questions to ask my doctor should the need arise. This book is worth many times what I spent on it....

Combining Mainstream and Natural HIV Treatment Approaches  
The book has many specific practical suggestions. And readers will appreciate the effort that has gone into making them easy to understand and apply.

The book also has: over 20 case histories (sometimes of patients who are difficult to treat, due to poor CD4 and viral load numbers, and intolerance or apparent resistance to many antiretrovirals); outcomes comparisons of patients treated in Dr. Kaiser's program, vs. others who received mainstream HIV treatment without the natural-therapy component; information about certain major herbs from both Western and Chinese medical traditions (although Dr. Kaiser usually refers patients to herbalists experienced with HIV for specific prescriptions); a discussion of approved and experimental antiretrovirals; and an appendix explaining common laboratory tests.
