Homeopathy for Health in Africa strives to alleviate the physical suffering of HIV/AIDS patients bought on by the many severe side effects of anti-retroviral medication (ARV's), which fights the virus and helps the patients to stay alive, but whose effects are physically debilitating and severe. Many people on these medications experience treatment failure with no other "line" of ARV to turn to.
Through the use of classical homeopathy, HHA has been able to provide an alternate means of healthcare to people living and suffering with HIV/AIDS and the debilitating symptoms of ARV drug treatment. HHA is also working towards identifying the handful of homeopathic remedies most successful in treating HIV/AIDS.

To alleviate the physical suffering of HIV/AIDS patients bought on by the many severe side effects of anti-retroviral medication (ARV's), which fights the virus and helps the patients to stay alive, but whose effects are physically debilitating and severe. Improve the debilitating side effects of the ARV's treatments so people on the medications can continue treatment for a longer time before the medications lose their effectiveness and patients experience treatment failure. To give an alternative means of healthcare to those who are not candidates for anti-retroviral (ARV's) medication, or to those that find the financial cost to be un-affordable. To bring in consultants to sustain the clinics that are already in place, and meet the need for the growing demand for homeopathy.

Alleviate the suffering of HIV/AIDS patients thru the use of classical homeopathy and identify the homoeopathic remedies most successful in treating HIV/AIDS. Make homeopathy sustainable by a program BEING taught to village health workers and hospital professionals. Make homeopathy affordable even to the poorest Africans. Bring in consultants to sustain the clinics already in place and meet the growing demand for new clinics, until local village health workers and hospital professionals can be trained. Homeopathy is perfect for Africa because the people of Africa understand and respect natural systems of healing. It is not a foreign intrusion on their way of thinking, but an integral part of their belief system and culture, Homoeopathy is very affordable, even for the poorest Africans. Homoeopathy has no side effects, yet it can alleviate the side effects of conventional ARV treatments, whose effects are debilitating and severe, thus prolonging the life of people with HIV/AIDS.

We usually start our day travelling to our various clinics, some slums, some rural with our translator, Rasta Roger. We load and unload the remedy box, sit under a tree or in a tiny ‘sauna clinic’ or visit patients at home when they are too sick to come.Transport is a problem as we only have 1 car, so our driver spends much of the day driving between clinics, home visits. Today we spend the day at the childcenter, First in line is Johnson. He is 3 years old and HIV-positive. His mother knew she was positive but because she didn’t want to be stigmatised, she breastfed Johnson. Hence his positive status. Johnson is a very serious little boy. His first remedy was Ozone 12c, which I gave him in June 2010. He had black spots on the skin, rash, itching. His eyes were itching and he had serious strabismus He is a naughty boy, climbing, touching everything, a noise maker, says Upendo, his teacher. He loves spicy food. He is the youngest of 3 kids. He is not on any medication for HIV. He came back in December with itchy skin, very watery eyes, and a milky glaze over them. He looked miserable; Upendo says he cries all the time. He can cry for 3 hours non-stop. He gets also very angry. Upendo says the remedy in June was very good and that he has been completely well and symptom free until now. So, I repeated the remedy. Immediately, his mood improved and he stopped crying. No more fighting. Skin vastly better, itching gone, black spots are less. Eyes normal, no more watering. He is smiling, looks happy, and his strabismus is less pronounced since the summer.

Others working to address the issues of HIV/AIDS in Africa, are conventional doctors, naturopaths and other homeopaths throughout Africa. In Tanzania at this time all other homeopaths are affiliates of HHA, with no other homeopaths continent wise, That we know of), doing similar data collecting on the impact of homeopathy on HIV/AIDS as we are. The data collecting HHA has been engaged in so far and it's positive results are becoming increasingly well known. HHA would like to use it's data collecting as leverage to become affiliated with hospitals willing to move forward with not only data collecting but research on the effects of homeopathy on HIV/AIDS. Through lack of funding,trained personnel and hospital affiliation, competitors may be poised to expand on our work in progress
