This new edition of Nutrition and AIDS brings to the forefront the most recent advances in understanding the nutritional deficiencies of AIDS and HIV-positive patients. It is a timely look at what dietary materials, supplements, and foods may benefit or treat AIDS, as well as nutrient deficiencies that may accelerate progression to AIDS and death. The book offers a variety of alternative dietary and herbal remedies, including some that have been tested in animals and humans to simulate immune defense or compensate for changes induced by HIV infection.
