Client Question:

My brother is HIV(+). He is also experiencing the effects of peripheral neuropathy throughout the day and night, most notably in the form of burning, stabbing pains in his feet, and because of this, he is suffering from insomnia. He has been diagnosed with AIDS dementia, and is taking medication for this and his other health concerns to help keep him functional. I wanted to let you know that he has definitely seen an improvement since taking the K-PAX Immune Support Formula. Do you think the longer he continues taking your vitamins, the better his condition will become? Are there any other natural therapies that may help as well in combination with K-PAX Immune Support Formula? I also want you to know he has so much more energy and generally feels so much better.

K-PAX Replies:

The following products may help increase his energy level, and nervous system health. I have provided a list and brief description of each product below...


	Client Question: Since my post-Hurricane Katrina work in New Orleans, I have been experiencing intermittent bouts of folliculitis. I am currently on antibiotics, but I would prefer not to be on them long-term. Are there any home remedies, or other natural approaches, that you could recommend? K-PAX Replies: Thank you for your question and thank you for your help in rebuilding New Orleans. I don't have a home remedy in mind, but I do believe that you would receive quite some benefit from the following product suggestions... Read More


	Client Question: Our son has Hep C and is being treated with Interferon. To best support his immune system during his treatment, should he use K-PAX Immune Support Formula capsules (which contain a small amount of iron) or should he take K-PAX Immune Support Protein Blend because it is iron-free? K-PAX Replies: Regularly taking K-PAX Protein Blend (2-4 scoops per day) is the safest way to support your son's liver and immune functioning. If he can get his doctor to check his iron level (by checking a serum ferritin test), and the result is not elevated, taking the capsules (8-16 caps per day) would be a perfectly safe alternative. K-PAX Immune Support Capsules-8 Cap Paks, only contain 18 mg of iron in 16 capsules... Read More


	Client Question: I have been diagnosed with various chronic ailments, including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lymes disease, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and others. My most important concern at this time is staying off toxic medications to treat EBV. I started taking K-PAX Immune Support at 4 capsules twice a day, and after 5 days, I developed swelling in my lymph nodes and itchy, red, burning skin. I’m sensitive to taking any supplements because I have no spleen and a very sensitive stomach. Have you heard of others having a similar response and what do you suggest that I do? K-PAX Replies: Hello and thank you for you question regarding our K-PAX Immune Support Formula. There has been no prior experience of clients experiencing swollen lymph nodes after consuming our immune support formula. Taking 4 caps twice per day initially may have over stimulated your immune system... Read More


	Client Question: My CD4 count has decreased from 800 to 600 and my viral load count has increased from 25,000 to 75,000. What improvements in these numbers might I see after taking K-PAX Immune Support Formula, which by the way, I have purchased but have not yet started? K-PAX Replies: Thank you for your question regarding your CD4 count and viral load. An individual’s viral load will fluctuate consistently over the course of the day, and because the lab test is extremely sensitive, one snapshot may provide one value and the next snap shot later in the day may be a different value...

	Client Question: I noticed in Lyle McWilliams book on Nutrition that high Vitamin A intake, above 5 million international units (IU) per day, may lead to an overdose. I am wondering if this means I should do a month on, followed by a month off, from the protein powder - any thoughts on this safety issue? K-PAX Replies: Hello and thank you for your question. K-PAX Immune Support Formula, capsules and protein powder, contains no vitamin A. There is only beta-carotene, which is completely... Read More


	Client Question: I would like to know which B vitamins would be helpful in promoting re-growth of nerve fibers? K-PAX Replies: Thank you for your question. All of the B-complex vitamins are important for helping to stimulate nerve growth, however vitamins B6 and B12 are especially important. Additionally, acetyl-L-carnitine has been shown in general studies to promote the growth and... Read More


	Client Question: My height is 6' and my weight is 185 lbs. My viral load is 216,000 and my CD4 count is 221 cells/mm3. I am curious as to what my dosage should be to prevent medication use, if possible? K-PAX Replies: Thank you for your question. While K-PAX Immune Support Formula was shown to increase CD4 counts in a published clinical trial, the participants in that trial had on average a higher CD4 count, approximately 350 cells...

	Client Question: Several years ago my immunity was severely altered due to antibiotic poisoning, the result of high amounts of strong antibiotics over extended periods for recurrent sinus infections. It took me six years to, very slowly, regain some level of health. Previous to my becoming ill, I was an avid biker and for the last couple of years, I have tried, many, many times, to resume biking. But, following every attempt, I became ill with, at the very least, a cold and at the worst, an awful virus that hospitalized me. For years, I have looked for any product that would help me to restore my immune system, but even those products that were prescribed by my doctor just didn't work. Any information you could provide on both your product and whether or not you feel it would benefit my health would be appreciated. K-PAX Replies: Thank you for your question and I’m sorry to hear about your recent health concerns. I know that it must be frustrating to try multiple health products without receiving any long-term benefits, leading one to become quite despondent, indeed... Read More

	Client Question: I'm fifty four (54) and would like to join the gym before I get any higher up in age. I'm HIV (+). I would like to know if and why increased protein intake is good for me.

Protein is vital for supporting healthy brain communication, muscle maintenance and building, and your immune system... Read More


	Client Question: I have heard that consuming sugar can weaken the immune system and cause debilitating illnesses such as cancer.

Client Question:

I am a breast cancer survivor. I was on hormone replacement therapy before being diagnosed with breast cancer, and then was put on tamoxifen (treatment for breast cancer), and after that, Evista (for osteoporosis). My doctor has recently diagnosed me with having a fatty liver. If I am not a drinker, smoker nor overweight, what could be causing the fatty liver?

K-PAX Replies:

Thank you for your question.

After performing a literature search, it appears there is strong evidence correlating tamoxifen use with fatty liver disease (also known as hepatic steatosis). I have provided the following links for your perusal...


	Client Question: I will soon be starting radiation, and I read somewhere that aloe vera gel may be useful for minimizing potential burning in the esophagus. Have you heard of this effect and are there any side-effects associated with its use? K-PAX Replies: I don't have any information on using aloe vera gel to minimize the discomfort in the esophagus during radiation treatments. In theory, it should be a benefit... Read More


	Client Question: I am a 53 year old woman going through menopause. I have all the classic symptoms, including night sweats, hot flashes, insomnia and others. Do you have some suggestions to combat these symptoms, especially diminished sex drive? K-PAX Replies: Thank you for your question. I first need to recommend that you see an OB/GYN who can assess your hormone levels, and make sure that they are not strongly out-of-balance, which may be contributing to your symptoms... Read More

It offers information on its development and conventional ways of treatment that you may find useful... Read More


	Client Question: I have twin boys who were diagnosed with thrush since they were babies. After 7-8 years, the thrush symptoms have reduced some, but still today, they are both 15 years old now, they experience sensitive skin on the roof of their mouth, mouth ulcers, as well as expressing to me that they are constantly feeling tired. Do you have a suggestion as to what may be causing this? K-PAX Replies: Thank you for your question.
