Misty Cutgrass of Sioux Falls was just 16 when a rape left her with the virus that causes AIDS. Now 24, Cutgrass is a mother of three children and will share her story as part of two local events Monday marking National Women & Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. �It�s about basic education,� said Nicole Burger, outreach services manager for Volunteers of America Dakotas. The organization is sponsoring a panel discussion for health workers about HIV/AIDS in the region and a wellness fair for the public at the Holiday Inn City Centre in Sioux Falls. It�s just the second year for the national awareness day, and the local events are sponsored by a federal grant. The South Dakota Department of Health and the South Dakota Department of Education�s school health program also are sponsors.

I was fortunate enough to become friends with Jim Batson, who died of AIDS in 1993. Here is a moving and powerful essay he wrote about living with AIDS that was printed in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. I posted it on my blog so that others could continue to benefit from his wisdom.

I read that blog and found it quite interesting. My mother was an AIDS awareness advocate and she always tried to get people involved and educated about it.

I wanted to share this info. I have friends with many medical ailments that are helped by Isamune. Since Isamune is also recommended for AIDS, I wanted to share it. Seems that natural solutions don't get much visibility in the USA. It's a shame that too often only the Rx solutions are known by doctors. Anyway, here's some info if you're interested:
