The principles of chiropractic treatment state that HIV infection is caused by a poor alignment of the backbone, which impairs nearby nerves. Treatment consists of positioning the body to correct the defect. Chiropractic treatment is probably helpful if your back hurts, probably harmless otherwise. Homeopathic Medicine-Practitioners of homeopathic medicine believe that a substance that causes a symptom in a large dose can, when given in a small dose, stimulate the body to correct the symptom. The underlying principle is that similars correct similars. In the case of HIV infection, which weakens the immune system, practitioners of homeopathic medicine advocate using small doses of cyclosporine, a drug used in traditional medicine to weaken the immune systems of people whose bodies are rejecting transplanted organs. Homeopathic medicine uses extremely small doses of these various substances; it is harmless. Mind Work-One kind of mind work tries to foster favorable self-images or self-love. Another kind of mind work is visualization or guided imagery. During visualization, people imagine their immune systems attacking and killing HIV and their bodies becoming stronger and healthier. Like body work, mind work can’t hurt. And because it makes people feel more in control and happier with themselves, it can be beneficial.*195\191\2*
