Grape Seed Extract and HIV


There are a lot of people suggesting grape seed extract for "taming" HIV infection. I asked Dr. Ditangco about this, one time during my consultation and she said that there are no proven facts to support this. So instead of believing what I've been hearing from fellow pozzies, I opted to believe my good doctor instead.
Recently, I came across an article about the effects of grape seed extract so I further investigated it.
