We investigated how HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) are affected by Entamoeba histolytica, the parasite responsible for invasive amebiasis (IA), which can lead to conditions like liver abscesses. During our study at the National Taiwan University Hospital, we looked at medical records of HIV-positive patients diagnosed with IA between 1994 and 2005.
From over a thousand HIV-infected individuals, we found that 64 patients, mostly MSM, experienced 67 total episodes of IA. Interestingly, the average CD4 count, a crucial indicator of immune system health, was significantly higher among patients with IA compared to the overall group of HIV patients. This suggests that despite being HIV-positive, many MSM can still mount an immune response against the infection.
Most patients responded well to treatment with metronidazole, with fever subsiding quickly. Importantly, our analysis revealed that MSM face a much higher risk of getting infected compared to other groups. This research underscores the need for targeted prevention strategies in this population to curb the spread of amoebic infections.

Excellent complex for joints that establishes cartilage in the joints, particularly high abscess. I advise everyone to try this; the enhancement is felt immediately.

Pain relief success
A true salvation for my back! Since school, I've suffered from severe back issues: a cyst, osteochondrosis, spondylosis, and two herniated discs. Pain plagued me from 2001 to 2016, despite countless medications and treatments. Finally, a knowledgeable doctor adjusted my dosage, revealing that the standard prescriptions lacked sufficient chondroitin and glucosamine. I tried this product, and miraculously, I felt improvement from the first can! My back has been pain-free for the last four years. I now take it thrice monthly.

Eliminated pain
It works! My mum's knees used to hurt periodically, and her only solution was painkillers. I bought this medication for her, and it genuinely helped! I never believed that these pains could disappear. However, a nutritionist advised me that good selenium levels are crucial for chondroitin absorption, so supplement with yeast-free selenium and consume bone broths to resolve this issue!

Quick recovery
I am absolutely delighted with the result following my leg fracture. I saw improvements just a month and a half post-injury. The rehabilitation period was brief; just two weeks after the cast removal, I could walk swiftly without any pain. My mother-in-law has various issues, including knee joint deformity, arthritis, and abscess, and after a month of using this, she noticed significant improvement, prompting her to order it again for the third time, alongside hyaluronic acid from Now.
