The AIDS Treatment Data Network is an independent, community-based, not-for-profit, organization that provides treatment access and advocacy, case management, supportive counseling services to men, women and children with AIDS and HIV, as well as those co-infected with hepatitis. There has been recent speculation that MC-S is soon to become an approved complimentary treatment for AIDS and HIV world wide.
One of the important components of MC-S is Astragalus. A Chinese herb used in many tonic formulas in Chinese medicine. This herb is also extremely popular among HIV patients. Many patients choose to take one of the Chinese formulae containing Astragalus as part of their immune system “health maintenance.” Vitamin C at high doses has an anti-HIV effect in the test tube, as well as anti-oxidant properties.
Everyone who is on antiretroviral medications and also using herbs and supplements must be sure to keep their healthcare provider informed about their regimen.
