FDA means Feet Divided Apart, Lynette Louise MS, BCN-T, CBS and self appointed PhD in M.O.M
I often feel as if I am standing with one foot in each camp: mainstream or alternative! I believe in checks and balances and I am delighted that we have government bodies whose job it is to keep us safe from charlatans and life threatening drugs. Unfortunately, in my experience the FDA doesn't do that very well. In fact the more I look into it the more likely it seems that it will put us in harms way rather than keep us from it.

HIV: A Mad Mutation or the Wrath of God?
'Human immunodeficiency virus' (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes 'acquired immunodeficiency syndrome' (AIDS), a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. HIV infects vital cells in the human immune system such as helper T cells (specifically CD4+ T cells), macrophages, and dendritic cells.
