They don't recommend because they don't see clear evidence in outcomes. See my EMA link below. This doesn't make the recommendation any closer than recommending not to.
Do not follow quack recommendations like this. pw is not a medical doctor and is not licenced to practice medecine. That makes pw a quack.
Instead, seek out professionals who don't just say everything is OK, but who tell you what specific things to do and tell you why you should do those things backed up by research. A competent MD will not be afraid to refer you to the research that they are using to make their recommendations. A real MD does not say (I'm and expert, trust me) but they are willing to point to the studies and the opinions of other experts. Experts will not all agree but usually, when something really works, there will be a majority who do prescribe that course of action.
It's always weird to see the amount of well meaning but misguided medical advice tossed out by people who have no medical training and who probably haven't been reading the research.
You didn't read it. He's giving people this advice. It's dangerous advice. I am not overreacting. This is a time for solid, real medical information and not anecdotal folklore.
However, "don't recommend" is very different from "mandate", which is what is happening in the US.
If this was literally any other medical procedure, the "trust the experts" crowd would be protesting the US ignoring what the rest of the world thinks.
Definitely agree with the HL suggestion and guest comment.
There is something to be said about personal experience and responsibility when consuming advice from a medical source, be it trusted or not. A medical doctor standing on the nations stage urging everyone to do the same thing (without any sort of responsibility to you, the one taking the advice) is hardly a prescription to leave your mind at the altar of “science”. My point here is that you should factor in your personal experience and local knowledge of the topic before imbibing in this type of nationwide directive.
I’m afraid I disagree. I haven’t ‘sort of supposed’ - I’ve fully expected medical professionals to bring their own context. It’s a medical journal, one of the most historical and leading ones in the world. There is nothing reckless in what they’ve done.
Sometimes the best advice appears to be dismissive and disregarding and has no right to pass judgement.
The people here recommending non experimental HIV treatment aren't saying so to hurt him. They are saying it because they don't want him to hurt himself needlessly.
