THREE AMIGOS ON HEALTH

Papua New Guinea has had the benefit of three people writing on various aspects of health. The first to open the message in 2004 was AIDS Holistics writing on Positive Living with HIV/AIDS.

The second was Dr Ambi writing on a broad and detailed understanding of psychology and the importance of loving and caring relationships.

Her writings have been very practical if not just a little over the heads of the grass roots readers. But there has been much to learn from her advice.

She has related various aspects of psychology to the holistic health of body, mind and soul. The professional people of the nation are learning much.

Then there is member of parliament Hon. Jamie Maxtone-Graham who has undertaken a massive metamorphosis of his own body to promote all aspects of nutrition. His writings are very detailed and useful.

He has now become Minister for Health and HIV/AIDS with a plan to focus on prevention of disease through nutrition, sanitation and clean water rather than cures through drugs and antibodies. Sounds good.

All that he writes has been basically covered in Positive Living but in far more useful detail. He has taken the community through every body system and related the importance of nutrition, particularly enzymes and vitamins.

The major difference between the writings of the new Minister and AIDS Holistics is that he places no focus on the importance of nutrition in relation to recovery from HIV/AIDS.

All that he writes about is relevant to people infected with HIV/AIDS. But he does not ever focus on the problems of the attack of the HIV virus on the gut lining and slow destruction of body capacity to absorb nutrients, water and salts.

With successful ARV treatment, the body has a drop of viral load in the blood giving the body cells the time to mend. The key to mending is nutrition.

The body needs water, glucose, protein and a broad array of enzymes and vitamins. The gut builds up again, stops the leakage of bacteria into the blood and allows the gut to absorb nutrients, water and salts.

When the Minister writes on that, the gurus will be on the same broad wavelength. AIDS Holistics has also been the fighting arm. Someone has to do it.
