Just in case anyone was following what I was doing....

I was waiting for results from August 9, actually I didn't get them until Aug 27th.  My goal was to improve my cd4 and try to take myself off of meds and see if my alternative complimentary meds where working.  

Results..my cd4 were only at 162.  Too low to take myself off of meds.  I am STILL not disappointed.  My cd4 ratio 26.4 was close to normal, and my cd4/cd8 ratio was 1.35 to 1 (in the normal range)

When I graph my results they still seem to be within the projections of my hypothesis.  My hypothesis is that cd4 will fall then stablilize and then increase over time.  Time is the unknown variable.  At hiv infection up to 25% of cd4 are infected.  So I was expecting a decline of at least 25%  from a normal slope curve on my cd4 by adding colloidal silver.  The colloidal silver is supposed to lyse out latent hiv reservoirs in cd4.   If this theory still holds true, I may still be on track, but will not be able to remove myself from meds until my cd4 comes closer to normal ranges.  That will give me a safety backstop.  

Another discovery of graphing my results indicated I was taking too much Colloidal Silver.  When I say too much I mean I was injesting orally and rectally somewhere between 32oz and 64 ounces of Colloidal Silver per week at 20ppm strength.  This action I believe increased my liver enzymes ggt, ast, and alt.  

Since the last lab I have decreased my consumption of 20ppm CS to less than 4 oz per week.  I also am still taking brazil nuts (selinium), walnuts (to raise hdl choloesterol) and have added a Resveratrol.

Reseveratrol is supposed to increase muscle mass, brain activity, lower cholesterol and a whole host of other things.  The Resveratrol I am taking I started Sept 25 2009.  I am taking Sisel's eternity 1/2 oz per day.  It has high levels of Resveratrol 2160 mg per 1/2 oz..  I have notice my chest, arm, and stomach muscles getting bigger.  I also now have an increased appetite.  People ask me if I have been lifting weights...I smile big and say no.  

I wanted to update this for any curious readers.   And to keep track of my progress myself. I still plan on gettin off my meds if my cd4 ever reaches 400-500.  I have a ways to go.  

Overall I feel great!  My weight is up, my concentration level is back to normal, my energy levels are back.  I haven't had a cold, sore throat, flu or any problems since Jan 2008.  I have to chalk it up to Colloidal silver.   Except for the weird dreams I have now and then, and feeling a little "high" a few hours after taking atripla, I sometimes forget I am supposed to be sick.  I mean with a cd4 of only 162 that still qualifies me as an Aids patient.  I keep telling them their crazy..I am fine. 

Thanks for reading.  With many prayers, maybe I'll be around a long time to write updates.  

Friday I went in to get blood labs.  This time I waited four months to get them.  I am anxiously waiting.  My last lab indicated that my alk phos and ldl were trending into high range and my hdl was low. 

I am trying to wait until my cd4 gets at least 550 to 650 until I try getting off Atripla.  If my alk phos and ldl get any higher, I may have to opt into getting off Atripla prematurely.  I have a lot of faith in colloidal silver.  Logic leads me to make sure my cd4 counts are higher.  Faith says to get off my Atripla immediately.  

I know this sounds weird, but God told me to get off Atripla because it was toxic.  I told him I was scared.  He replied he gave me what I needed to know to be ok.  He also told me to take CS for at 7 months before I get off my meds.  

Although I pray a lot, God doesn't usually talk to me.  I hope it wasn't the hallucinigenics of Atripla, because I was wide awake when God told me this,  Also it was about 3 hour after taking Atripla.  

I meet with the doctor to discuss my labs on Sept 15.  But I am going to get a copy of my labs in about a week to study them extensively.  I am hoping that my alk phos and ldl stabalize until my cd4 comes up,  Otherwise I may have to get off Atripla before cd4 increases to my predetermined level of 550 to 650.

Keep me in your prayers that one of us will find a cure for this Stupid virus.  

I am a really good mathematician. I've been in accelerate math since 6th grade.  I was even in accelerated calculus in college. My theory for a cure includes western meds as well as alternative meds. The reason I don't believe Colloidal Silver (CS) can cure Hiv by itself relies soley on a mathematical model (one that I made up...seriously I did).

This is my reasoning. Hiv grows exponentially. Cs is a med that must come in direct contact with the virus and the amount you consume is a constant no matter how much you drink. The only bad thing is even as CS is killing Hiv, Hiv is replicating faster than CS can search and destroy.

My plan...take atripla to almost eliminate Hiv replication and increase my cd4. The medication does a great job on reducing replication to almost nothing (viral reduction somewhere between log 3 and log 6). Mainly leaving the latent Hiv reservoirs. Then I plan on taking CS simotaneously for at least 7 months to a year to eliminate these latent reservoirs. Only one way to test my theory...get off atripla at that time. As a backstop I plan on continuing taking CS and add St. John's wart. Dr Blue (my well known hiv Dr.) said that St John's wart was effective against Hiv...how effective?...don't know, but said not to take it with Hiv meds because it interferes with them.

How will I know? Well, I am going to do viral load and cd4 only test each month to see if the virus does come back. I feel if I can remain undetectable for 12 to 18 months then I am home free. If not, I will have some protection with a combination of frequent test, CS, St. John's wart, and maybe a couple other things like selenium, oregano oil, olive leaf extract.

Right now I am in the eighth month of taking CS with my meds. I go to get my labs within the next couple of weeks. I am hoping for a strong rebound in cd4. When I graph my lab results for the past year, they seem consistent in what I have read ...."expect an initial drop in cd4 because PCR tests count both healthy and latent cd4 cells. The drop is because the CS is lysing these latent Hiv reservoirs". My labs so far seem consistent with this theory but not enough data points are available to make this a concrete conclusion. If my next labs in a week or two increase my cd4 rapidly from previous labs, then I know I am on track with my hypothesis.  If not, it will be a no go for the getting off Atripla. 

I am no way advocating that anyone else try this.  This is just my hypothesis given the following Assumptions:  1. Atripla continues to keep replication almost non existent. 

                     2.  Colloidal Silver kills Hiv ( journal of technology UT silver nanoparticles)

                     3.  CS will destroy latent hiv in CD4 (Dr Beck protocol)

Now if everything goes as planned...will I be brave enough to "pull the trigger" because I know I have a lot of anxiety.
