 Could Dietary Algae Protect Against HIV Progression?

 

(Continued from page 10)

 
The low incidence of HIV/AIDS in countries where these algae are eaten regularly could provide new insights for inexpensive alternatives to unavailable drugs, and hope to the 30% of HIV patients who can not tolerate conventional ART medications. 

Introducing new foods pose their own set of barriers, but traditional healing methods routinely use herbal teas and soups as treatments. If eating algae can prevent or slow progression of HIV infection to AIDS, and have no known side effects, a few million of the current HIV sufferers with no access to ART could have an inexpensive and available alternative therapy. More research is needed, but hope sometimes comes from unexpected places.
