Though it isn't unique to people infected with the virus, studies suggest that HIV and vitamin D deficiency often go hand-in-hand. This is worrisome because vitamin D is an important nutrient for bone health, calcium balance and immune function.
People living with HIV and vitamin D deficiency may experience bone disorders, low CD4 counts and increased AIDS progression, so doctors are taking a closer look at vitamin D levels in all of their HIV patients.

Apart from the many challenges being newly diagnosed (3rd week), is to love the Lord with all that is in me. This morning I read in Mark 12:30-31, to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
I reflected on how easy it is to love the things (or people) that bring pleasure, comfort and some measure of happiness, though fleeting. However, not to love God first, is not to fully experience a pure and holy love for others as He intended. So often my investment in a self focused love mad…

Successful AIDS-Vaccine Trial Raises Hopes — and Questions
By Eben Harrell Thursday, Sep. 24, 2009
An AIDS vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection in humans for the first time, a significant advance in a field of research that has long been stymied by failure.
The $105 million, six-year trial, which involved more than 16,000 people in Thailand — the largest AIDS-vaccine trial ever conducted — found that an experimental vaccine was 31% effective in preventing HIV infection. T…

You are Reading Right - Pre-chewed Food Can Transmit HIV to Children
Thursday August 6, 2009
By Mark Cichocki, R.N., About.com
HIV researchers have found the first case of what they believe is HIV being transmitted from an HIV positive mom to her child by way of pre-chewed food. Premastication also known as pre-chewed food is a common practice in many countries including the United States. In some parts of the world pre-chewing food is an important means of getting babies the nutrition they nee…

Our Consciences: God’s built-in warning system
I have come across many people who have left the church because of the ill-treatment they received from Church members and Church leaders. Sometimes the reasons some gives are so petty that one could easily tell that they are not willing to be devoted followers of Christ. At other times the reasons are so genuine and touching that I have wonder if such treatment could ever come from those who claim to be followers of Christ. Many have been su…

He walks with us
Text: Luke 24:13-28
“
As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus Himself suddenly came and began walking with them. But God kept them from recognizing Him”. Luke 24:14-16As believers, we are sometimes faced with challenges that we find difficult to explain. It gets worse when all that we hope for as believers comes under attack. It does not happen because we have committed any sin, neither is…

I feel like sharing with you one of the messages the lord gave for Easter. Though is far past, but it may bles you somehow
THEME: “WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR MESSAGE?”(Isaiah 53:1NLT)
Text : Isaiah 53
Watching “The Passion of the Christ” few days ago, one can’t help but to think again of all that the Lord Jesus Christ suffer for the redemption man, even as He stated in John 10:1, He laid down His out His own volition, So He was beaten, humiliated and eventually hanged on the cross for the sake of you…

SEEING SOLUTIONS AND NOT PROBLEM
BIBLE TEXT: 2KINGS 6:15-17, Eph. 1:17-23
In the cause of waiting for God to speak when it’s like He is silent, especially when we so desparately needs in the area of healing of our bodies, many Christians tend focus all their attention only on the problems, and all they see is problem, impossible, not going to work, fear and uncertainty. And the devil will do everything at this point to magnify those seemingly difficult situations. But I wish to suggest that y…

Living the resurrected life
Going through the account of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ again this Easter period I was touched by the account in Mark 16 and John 20, particularly Mark 16: 7 where it says “But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you” (RV)
Touched because the angel specifically mentioned Peter who denied Jesus Christ on the night he was arrested. Peter blew it by denying Jesus as was predicted, but…

I am looking so forward for the return of Jesus Christ my life has had it's up and downs but better good then bad. The signs of His return is obvious and I look and listen, but in the meantime I have manage to find joy through all this chaos. I have been having some problems with my health but I believe God will again heal me or give me the strength to go through it all.

MUST JESUS BEAR THE CROSS ALONE AND ALL THE WORLD GO FREE ? NO THERE’S A CROSS FOR EVERYONE AND THERE’S A CROSS FOR ME.
In the mid 90’s I heard Miles Monroe speak so passionately about life purpose and it moved me to want to know what the purpose for my life was. The next day I began to search for my purpose in life. What did God create me to be?
I can remember reading a book by Benny Hinn in 1995 and coming to the part of the book where it asked the question “Can you pay the price.” I remembe…
