This book provides such a great wealth of information concerning Eastern views of medicine and health. It is written in plain language, in order for the reader to understand the different aspects of Chinese medicine and how it relates to the HIV/AIDS virus.

A person who is not sold on Western views of treating HIV/AIDS will definitely like the alternative therapies and ideas presented in this book.

Chinese philosophies of healing fit so much better into "balancing" the body. So many Western doctors feel that prescribing pills is the only effective way to combat HIV and AIDS. Chinese medicine teaches a person to examine the "systems" of their body, and how to keep them in check. By modifying your lifestlye, and practicing "body balancing" you can empower yourself and your body for the battle against the HIV virus.

People with HIV and AIDS should start listening to their bodies, and not to Western medicine dogma!

This book is comprehensive and clear for both the Chinese Medical practitioner, and for the HIV patient.
