After finding myself in the hospital at 125 pounds, and then putting on 60 pounds to regain my health, I can say that the information contained in this book is something all HIV(+) people should know about. It's helped me stay alive.
Jeff Taylor, Long-term HIV(+) Survivor, San Diego
Built To Survive synthesizes a wealth of information on life extension and the maintenance of health, especially for those who are HIV+. The sections on dietary supplementation and hormonal therapies, especially anabolic steroid use for HIV+ patients, are especially useful as each chapter dispels many of the myths surrounding these topics. A highly recommended resource book.

Michael Mooney and Nelson Vergel provide HIV(+) individuals with powerful advice on nutrition and hormone strengthening that standard medicine all too often leaves out or doesn't understand. I support their work wholeheartedly!!

Mooney and Vergel's book separates out the "wheat from the chaff" in nutritional and hormonal science for both the layperson and medical professionals. I recommend Built to Survive to medical professionals who deal with wasting from other medical conditions (cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, etc) as well as to healthy people who want a useable anti-aging plan. Additionally, the chapter about "Lipodystrophy" applies well to Type II diabetes.

This is an excellent book full of good sound advice that individuals can follow to help decrease some of the side effects of HIV/AIDS. It is a book for the individual but also a highly recommended book for all medical, academic, and public libraries.

Mooney and Vergel's most vigorous message is don't just depend on medicines to manage your health. Diet, exercise, and hormones, if appropriate, could help you achieve the healthiest body and strongest immune system possible.
