San Francisco: Quan Yin Herbal Program Deadline March 8

Quan Yin Healing Arts Center (see AIDS Treatment News issue # 68, November 4, 1988) is starting its next herbal research and treatment program on March 15; the deadline for application is March 8. This program is part of Quan Yin's ongoing effort to improve HIV treatment using both antiviral and immune enhancing herbs.

The program is subsidized, and acupuncture is no longer required (although it is recommended), so the total cost has been kept low -- $200. for three months, about half of the cost of obtaining the same treatment outside of the program. This price includes a consultation every two weeks. A CBC (complete blood count) is required at zero, six, and 12 weeks; these can be done through Quan Yin (at a cost $6. each), or elsewhere. (Other blood work, including T-helper count, P24 antigen, and beta-2 microglobulin, is available through Quan Yin at additional cost.) Participants can continue the herbal program after the three months at the same rate.
For persons who need to commute to San Francisco to participate in this program, only three meetings are mandatory.
