You are running away from the crux of the point. In simple terms, yes poverty does cause AIDS. We are not saying Garlic and Beetroot will cure AIDS, but they do help in the immune system. Lucky Mazibuko (I am sure you do know him) also said sometime on TV that he does feed on garlic and beetroot. We are also not saying that they are the sole nutrients to fight HIV/AIDS. Poverty does contribute a lot in people having AIDS. If you can read from where this started, it is where tpaz mentioning that ARVs do give you longer life IF YOU CAN AFFORD good diet. That is any good diet. That is where the garlic and beetroot thing started. The main thing is AFFORDING PROPER diet. We are not saying people must not take ARVS, they not to be supplemented with proper diet Garlic and Beetroot being one of diet.

Poverty does contribute a lot in people having AIDS. If you can read from where this started, it is where tpaz mentioning that ARVs do give you longer life IF YOU CAN AFFORD good diet. That is any good diet. That is where the garlic and beetroot thing started. The main thing is AFFORDING PROPER diet. We are not saying people must not take ARVS, they not to be supplemented with proper diet Garlic and Beetroot being one of diet.
Come to think of it you are the one who came with Beetroot and Garlic.
