INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE FOR BRAIN COMPLICATIONS FROM HIV and AIDS

Many viruses cross the blood brain barrier and impact brain health. The most damaging virus destroy and harm the brain. There are several stages of a virus as it attacks the body.  AIDS and HIV cross into the brain and allow the destruction of neurons and attack the CNS. Symptoms include brain fatigue, memory problems, cognitive impairment, loss of common vocabulary, acting like a child, failure to understand daily issues, severe anger issues, terror, and concentration issues. These symptoms may mimic other serious brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Dementia.

HIV can cause memory loss, concentration issues, brain fog, anxiety, stress, dementia, neuropathy,  and cognitive disorders. These symptoms are due to high viral load and may subside with decreases in viral load. Antiviral medicines and other very unusual treatments from the 1940's can treat this problem. Alternative medicine can work if it addresses the viral load. Prayer groups can also help this type of illness.

Support brain function during this phase of the disease with choline, lecithin, fish oil, DMAE, and any medicine, nutritional supplement, or herbal product that can interfere with viral replication and cross the blood brain barrier. Green tea, ashwaganda, and astragulus slow and interfere with viral replication. Multiple Chinese Patent Herbal formulas work on the heat produced in the blood by the virus. This causes interference with viral replication. There will be several Chinese patent formulas which can create this action. Pharmaceutical grade supplements may be found at Life Extension Foundation.

Hyperthyroid can cause brain symptoms resembling mania. An excess of this hormone pushes the body into a sleep deprived state. High hormone levels may result in concentration and memory problems due and extreme fatigue. It causes learning disorders and attention problems in children. The result can be a collapse. Other hormones and brain neurotransmitters often require diagnostic testing due to the imbalanced ratio of a hormone to each other.
