Primary Medical Care in a federally
funded HIV/AIDS Grant
From
April 2005 through to the present, the Northeast Holistic Center Belleville NJ
has been assisting the HIV/AIDS Community in the Newark Eligible Metropolitan
Area under the Ryan White Title I Federal Grant with Reflexology and other
natural therapies. As of March 2006, Reflexology has been funded as a part of
Primary Medical Care to assist with “Treatment Adherence” for
AIDS/HIV communities’ health care regime. A marked positive change and/or
stabilization (to undetectable) in their CD4 count and viral load was attained
in 90% of the cases last year. Each client was responsible to attended five (5)
consecutive weeks of Natural Therapy sessions – one per week. Reflexology
was one of the standard treatments received – repeated cycles were allowed
after a short hiatus. Along with the specific goal of assisting in stress
reduction and pain management to improve the patient’s immune function;
many other disorders were addressed with great success. Reflexology home care
protocols were taught to about 75% of the patients to assist them in home care
follow-through. There was great success in associated neuropathy, knee problems,
peripheral circulation problems and reduction of overall stress. For more
