Question
Hi, I will like to know if you can give me an insight.
I am HIV+ for the past 13 years, last year was declared AIDS, my viraload is 500,000 and CD4 is 304. But, that is not my main concern now.
I acquired Hepatits C last year and my viraload is 65,000,000. The spleen is enlarged and my platelets are in 7,000. The bone marrow is producing enough platelets, so is apparently an autoimmune disease, also my anti body factor is in 900, meaning my own body is attacking my own organs. I have pain in my joints specially in legs and frequent urination (wake up 3 to 5 times at night to go to bathroom). Right now they want to give me prednisone, but I am refussing because of the side effects. They want to start me on interferon and i don't want to. I know there are other better ways to heal myself but I don't have the right answers in my hands. I also had shyphilis and had the shoots for it in March. I need to confess that for 2 years I went thru a lot of stress and depression and I even tried Crystal meth and cocaine, and even that It was once every month or so, I felt my health going down so quickly, I looked for help and haven't done any for the last 2 months and I am not going to do it anymore. My Self Steam is back and I have a big motivation to keep going up front. Can u help me?  

Answer
Dear friend Lino,

The use of Bach Flowers essences is not to cure specific physical diseases itselves, but to help transforming our emotional attitude regarding to life in general and to the diseases in particular. With this transformation in our emotional state, for beyond the improvement of our feelings, the body can be more relieved to activate its natural healing forces in the way to improve also our physical health.

So, the essences must be linked to our general emotional states and not to the disease itself. Nevertheless, some essences can help improving your confidence and interior strength to fight the disease that is essencial in your case, together with promoting some "cleaning", and in this way, I would suggest to use the essences LARCH + SWEET CHESTNUT + GENTIAN + CRAB APPLE

Best regards,
