Advice & Tips: I lived on this stuff with 54 T-cells while my meds were bringing them up. After I ignored a stabbing lung pain and ended up in the hospital my doctor trusted me enough to let me keep some around for occasional use at my discretion. Don't know about my new doctor yet. One or two can knock out a UTI or lung infection. I still have some.
