| dc.description.abstract | A three year cohort study in Machakos County captured the behavioural practices of HIV
affected clients undergoing treatment at Comprehensive Care Centres in Machakos and
Athi-River hospitals. Selection of 131 HIV infected persons was done on first come basis
and interviews conducted after signed informed consent.
Thirteen categories of treatment choices were exhibited by HIV infected clients. The
HIV treatment using herbs, prayers and tethered Nutrition, ARVs and Septrin, social
support and laboratory testing was studied alongside others e.g Micronutrient
bioavailability, biodiversity and health outcomes.
Tethered group exhibited a 45% improvement in ARV adherence, and a corresponding
45 % of the HIV infected Clients improving to a viral load of non detectable level. Some
14 of 131(10.7%) were still awaiting their viral load results. There was a (8 of 131) 6.1%
using multivitamins formulations to boost their appetite. A group optimizing on the
recommended diet biodiversity were 59 of 131 (40.04%) and 9 of 131(6.9%) eating nine+
foods daily.
The basis for micro-nutrients and functional Biochemical reactions integrated and
tethered on dependent factors leads to restoration to normal of biochemical metabolic
reactions in the body thus cure for HIV infected person as the ARVs destroy the HIV
virus. The Syndemics interplay of external environment, micro-nutrients, adhered diets
and Metabolism as well as tethered targeted epidemiological interventions resulted to a
tethering therapy procedure improving the health of HIV infected persons. This paper presents a paradigm shift for establishment of tethered social and spiritual
support as well as counselling, tethered ARV adherence, micro-nutrient biodiversity and
bioavailability and Nutritional supply. | en_US |
