How do I feel about the Western approach to HIV/AIDS?
Learning about the PrEP drug, I thought it was a very typical Western approach. Although I do see some definite reasons why it should be available. I know the people working on these drugs do have good intentions. I think that HIV/AIDS is a big area of research in the US and we are always trying to create new drugs and treatments. This type of disease is going to need drugs and treatment. So I do not mind the Western approach as much here. And I see some positive reason why having a preventative drug could do some good. I just get worried about the side effects of this drug and other consequences that can occur if unprotected sex is being more widely participated in.
Can TCM strengthen your immune system?
Yes TCM can help strengthen you immune system. One of the focuses of TCM is to strengthen your organs, if your organs are being strengthened your immune system will be strengthened as well. Although TCM can help it cannot cure HIV/AIDS. Like with cancer, TCM is great to use in conjunction. TCM is very good to help with the side effects of the drugs people will be taking for the disease. Also being diagnosed with this disease can cause a lot of emotional problems and TCM is very good at treating emotional problems like anxiety and depression.
