Raggs's Journal

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.
