HIV AIDS (HIVP-AIDS) (HIV Potentiated AIDS)
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aka acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) (AIDS) is a set of symptoms and infections considered to be the result of damage to the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), while many investigators believe a multitude of other factors contribute to the syndrome. This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and also tumors.. ...read more

Herpes simplex is a viral disease caused by Herpes simplex viruses.
Oral herpes is the most common form of herpes infection. Infection of the genitals, commonly known as genital herpes, is the second most common form of herpes. In both oral and genital herpes, after initial infection, the viruses move to sensory nerves, where they continue living in a latent form for the rest of the life of the host. Recurrence decline in frequency as the immune system comes to equilibrium with the presence of the viruses. ...read more

Prolotherapy in The Treatment of Neck and Back Pain and Other Joint Instability Syndromes
One out of three people, at some time in life, experiences spinal disease significant enough to lead to professional treatment. In America alone, $7.4 billion are spent on drugs every year to treat pain originating in the spine. Every day, one out of five people in Western countries (and probably worldwide) suffer from debilitating spinal pain. ...read more

Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) (CFS)
Many alternative medicine practitioners grasp that CFIDS has something to do with toxicity and they approach the illness with various methods of "detoxification." However, the illness is not that simple and this explains why these practitioners achieve sometimes fair, but temporary, results. In fact, the cause of CFIDS is a condition of heavy metal (usually mercury) toxicity/overload complexed with an intestinal gut wall chronic inflammation. ...read more

Intravenous EDTA Chelation Therapy
Chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is a chemical reaction that results in a bond being formed between a metal ion and an organic (i.e., carbon-based — made mostly of carbon) molecule. The resulting complex, metal bound to molecule, is called a "chelate" and contains one or more rings of atoms in which the metal ion is so firmly bound it cannot escape. This allows the metal ion to be transported in the same manner as a prisoner, first handcuffed, then moved from one location to another. ...read more

Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy (IV H2O2)
Bio-oxidative medicine is the addition of oxygen directly to the tissues of the body in the form of singlet oxygen (lone oxygen atoms) in a highly reactive state. In living systems oxygen (as O2) is transported by hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. This is a highly efficient way of conducting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body and insuring it does not react with anything along the way. Because it is bound by hemoglobin, it is unable to react to anything else until it is released by the hemoglobin (which then picks up carbon dioxide and transports it to the lungs)....read more

A summary of the medical politics, turf struggles between medical specialties and factions in the health care professions, and the medical economics of EDTA chelation therapy is described in detail to answer the question, "If EDTA chelation therapy is so good, why is it not more widely accepted?" ...read more

Mercury Toxicity
Mercury toxicity is extremely common thanks to the dental profession which installs tons of mercury in people's mouths every day (dental amalgam is 35-50 % mercury). Mercury changes to a vapor through "sublimation," in the same way frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) sublimates to a gas without first liquifying, only much slower of course....read more

Exogenous toxins are those molecular structures that enter the body from the environment for which the body has no use and which may also cause damage. Endogenous toxins are products of metabolism of which the body must rid itself. ...read more

Photoluminescent Therapy (Ultraviolet Light Therapy) (UBI, UBVI)
Photoluminescent therapy, also known as UBI, UVBI, (for ultraviolent blood irradiation) is thought of as a new treatment. However, it was first developed in the 1930s as a treatment for the polio virus.and other viral and bacterial infections. ...read more
