Immune Deficiencies including HIV / AIDS

Book Abstract by: TonyPent    

Original Author: Tony Pent
Immune Deficiencies including HIV / AIDS
According to the World Health Organization in 2004, “Effectively tackling HIV/AIDS
is the world’s most urgent public health challenge. Already, the disease has killed more than 20 million people. Today, an estimated 34-46 million others are living with HIV/AIDS. In 2003, 3 million people died and 5 million others became infected. Unknown a quarter of a century ago, HIV/AIDS is now the leading cause of death and lost years of productive life for adults aged 15–59 years worldwide. A comprehensive HIV/AIDS strategy links prevention, treatment, care and support for people living with the virus. The interaction of HIV/AIDS with other infectious diseases is an increasing public health concern.”
Once an immune system has been compromised by HIV/AIDS fighting off other infectious diseases becomes a daily fight for life. People with suppressed immune systems need all the help they can get which is why Immunolin can play an important role in the daily fight for healthy living. Immunolin is thought to help neutralize pathogens in the gut before the body can absorb them. This allows your body to utilize its immune resources in other parts of the body where they may be needed. Since 80% of pathogens are absorbed through the G-I tract, Immunolin can help as a first line of defense to help support your weakened immune system. This can be especially important when an immune system has become compromised due to HIV/AIDS and can no longer function optimally.
