HIV/AIDS patients have many difficulties stemming from their disease as well as from the medications used to treat their disease. Some of the worst symptoms of HIV/AIDS are cachexia (wasting) and pain. Side effects of antiretroviral therapy include nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Many patients choose to stop taking their medications due to the severe side effects. The anxiety and depression that results only compounds the overall weight loss. The physicians at Marijuana Medicine Evaluation Centers understand the serious physical and psychological effects of HIV/AIDS and want to help improve your quality of life using a natural approach. Medical Marijuana is widely recognized as an effective treatment for symptoms and side effects related to HIV/AIDS and its treatment medications. Marijuanaâ??s value as an antiemetic (stops vomiting) and analgesic (stops pain) has been proven in many studies and has been recognized by several comprehensive, government-sponsored reviews. It is also a very effective appetite stimulant and has been shown to help curtail weight loss and even promote weight gain in a majority of patients.:mad::mad:
