Lack of proper nutrition can severely impact the immune system, especially when it is already compromised. This book defines recent advances in understanding the nutritional deficiencies found in AIDS and HIV-positive patients. It explores the scientific knowledge of how nutritional and dietary changes and herbal medicines can benefit or potentially harm these patients. The text also discusses the negative effects of undernutrition that can lead to starvation, a potent immunosuppressant. Nutrients and Foods in AIDS is a much-needed scientific appraisal of current alternative strategies used in preventing or treating AIDS and its symptoms for improved quality of life.

Industry Reviews

"is a highly recommended book for all medical libraries and would be of interest in public and academic libraries where individuals are constantly seeking out information about the nutritional value of foods and herbs." -AIDS Book Review Journal "includes an impressive collection of discussions and speculation by various authors on the research surrounding nutrients, foods, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) an interesting addition to the HIV and nutrition library." -Cade Fields-Gardner, The Cutting Edge, Cary, IL
