HIV/AIDS/TB SUPPORTIVE NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTS:
ACTIVE INFECTION eg AIDS, TB; and CANCER
are often a problem of defective NUTRITION among many important contributing factors.
Both infection; cancer; and chronic anti-infection/ anti-cancer drugs
promote poor nutrition, loss of other infection protection, and loss of muscle and bone.
Those with high risks of infections or cancer, and
those on anti-infection/ anticancer therapy, and
those in whom such therapy has failed,
should be offered both counselling;
measurement of lean mass, fat mass; and
risk of osteoporosis bone fracture; and
various regimes of complementary cancer/ infection NUTRITIONAL support.
Both with aging, illness, therapy, and with increasingly poorer food supplies, rising costs and pollution, the best diets cannot supply anywhere near optimal micronutrients - the effective doses of all ~15 vitamins, ~10 minerals, and the scores of biologicals- the dozens our own bodies make but run out of (including hormones), those from other species eg fish oil, glucosamine, and herbs.
For an appointment to have your body composition and bone fracture risk measured,
and to discuss and view the nutrition supports available with a relevant supplement counsellor,
