The goal of this guide is to help develop your awareness of your personal nutritional needs. All of us are different and need to be aware of what we need as individuals. If we have any physical or emotional problems, then the need to adjust our nutritional resources are even more pressing. While it may be a challenge to get on top of all the necessary information to take good care of ourselves, it remains our responsibility to make it happen. Only YOU can shape your own future. Being knowledgeable about how to make our bodies and minds work at their best will only enhance and prolong your life. It could make a difference between life and death.

You may have discovered from your own experiences that you cannot depend on health professionals to step in with the right ideas at the right times. It appears that today's level of professionalism may not be at it's best when it comes to your own well being. All of us need to become savvy about what we need and how to get it. It may not make you the most popular client but again the bottom line is getting what YOU need and the right time. Don't be intimidated by the obstacles or the professionals that you must interact with. We're all human and success comes to those who get what they need in a timely fashion.

Hopefully, this manual will be somewhat entertaining for you, while I convey what I perceive as important information about nutritional therapy and HIV. This manual is best for those individuals that remain mostly asymptomatic and relatively healthy. Because there is a myriad of complex therapies for those who have AIDS & multiple difficulties, it is best to utilize updated and leading edge information from the appropriate medical authorities in the field. There are an abundance of resources in every major city. The Internet offers incredible sources of information and services, as well. The only thing necessary to get what you may need is to ask for it. Remember, you should be proactive.

The manual is structured to be straightforward and clear. I like manuals that are 'user friendly'. While recognizing that the information on this topic can be very complicated and hard to remember, I hope to offer the information in a simple and visually entertaining style. As of this date of publication, everything referenced should be enough to keep you healthy and even improve your levels of health. You should have greater energy, a clear & calm mind, while preserving your muscle mass and strength. You'll become a smarter consumer and know how to better take care of your needs.

As a clinical practitioner, I have included my office phone number and e-mail address, to offer support for you. If you have additional questions or a desire to utilize some professional counseling, you are invited to notify me. The appropriate contact numbers are listed at the end of this manual.
