Quitting AIDS Drugs is Hard To Do...
If you are taking AIDS drugs, your doctor will tell you that you can
never quit. The AIDS "dissidents" who associate themselves with
organizations such as Rethinking AIDS imply that you can just quit, and
that you will then be "free" from these drugs.
Who's right?
Answer: They're both wrong.
Why? In summary: the drugs appear to "work" by killing bacteria and
fungus infections, but, like many toxic drugs from the past, they also
wreck your immune system. So when you stop, your defense against common
infections is gone, and in a few months (or weeks, or days) you'll be
sick or in the hospital with a chronic infection or pneumonia. My friend
and colleague Liam Scheff has written a groundbreaking article on this,
which you can find on his Reduce The Burden website:

There is an alternative: you can stop the drugs, but you need to then
pursue an intensive regimen that rebuilds your immune system and
meanwhile helps you inhibit or knock out any opportunistic infection.

recovery is free for download from this website at
