Many individuals with HIV find that adding non-western therapies to their treatment assists in reducing symptoms from both HIV disease and HAART. Other benefits realized may include a reduction in stress and treatment side-effects, pain relief and boosting the immune system.
These are just a few of the more common complementary therapies; Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, Herbal Therapy and Juicing. Many of these therapies are simple and affordable, making them available to most.

Yoga, from personal experience and familiarity with other PWA's experiences, has a deeply profound effect on enhancing wellbeing on many levels: calmness and clarity for the mind; strength, stamina, flexibility for the body; peace for the spirit and soul; fellowship and community for the social-self. It massages internal organs providing tangible relief of GI distress and stimulating the production of healing hormones. Vancouver is blessed with many fine yoga teachers and studios which are very queer and HIV-friendly.
