CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINES AND HIV
Over 100 Chinese herbal medicines with anti-HIV effects have been identified by laboratory research. Our clinical experience demonstrates that combined pharmaceutical and herbal therapies can maximize results and minimize side effects. For those patients intolerant of or failing pharmaceutical regimens, Chinese herbal formulas can provide antiviral effects with measureable impact on viral load and immune function.
