David Mullens: 082-5611-030
HIV & AIDS (AIDS Consultant)
“In
1984, I was hospitalised for a bout of bronchitis. During my
recuperation, I had a full physical check-up; and, after extensive
testing, to my horror, I was found to be HIV positive. I was told that
my life expectancy was approximately ten years.
“Twelve years
into my battle with the disease, my health was declining; and, primarily
due to stress, the disease started to become unmanageable. On one of my
many visits to the hospital due to pneumonia having set in, I was
introduced to a doctor performing HIV clinical tests who prescribed AZT,
3TC and a placebo that dramatically changed my downward CD4 count
(measurement of the immune system, which should be between 600 - 1,200).
The trial lasted for two years; and, in the last six months, the
placebo was replaced with the genuine drug.
“At the end of the
trial, because the antiretroviral drugs were deemed to be very toxic,
and I was not on any medical aid scheme that would pay for these
expensive medications. Unfortunately, again due to stress, the virus
gained the upper hand, and my status changed from HIV to AIDS. My CD4
count spiraled to below 10 and my viral load was capped at 750,000,000. I
was told that I had full-blown AIDS and had only 6 months to live! I
doggedly remained determined to overcome my adversities even though I
suffered through ailments such as Candida, Diarrhea, fungus in the
toenails, Lesions occurring on the feet and ankles (Kaposi Sakoma),
Shingles, PC Pneumonia and dramatic weight loss.
“It was around
this time, in 1997, that I was introduced to Cellfood. All medical drugs
prescribed to me had been stopped. I started taking 20 drops of
Cellfood a day, which I increased to between 70 and 100 drops to see if
the Cellfood would assist my body in halting the HIV in my body. I was
immediately aware that when I started taking Cellfood that I had more
energy than before, and also had enough resistance to fight off colds
and flu. I no longer experienced any bad doses of flu, which many others
in this high-risk group would experience. I also did not have flu
injections either.
“Cellfood gave me a new meaning to my life. By
taking this valuable product and learning from it’s many uses both
internally and externally, words cannot describe how precious this
product is in my life. However, in saying that, by taking this product,
one must listen to what one’s body is telling one.
“In 2001, I
unfortunately neglected my health and my CD4 count spiraled down again.
After a second bout of pneumonia in a space of three weeks, my AIDS
physician strongly urged him to reconsider the use of antiretroviral
treatment. Determined, not to give up on life, I agreed to do so. At the
same time, I consulted my personal physician, Dr Priscilla Rowan, who
insisted that I take Cellfood again, as well as intravenous hydrogen
peroxide, oxygen treatments, and other nutrients. My recovery somewhat
baffled my AIDS physician.
“Now, in 2002, I make sure I take
Cellfood daily, between 40 to 100 drops, depending on my state of
well-being. Cellfood has given me above all else a very clear mind. My
focus and ability to concentrate for longer periods can now be achieved.
The effects and results I am receiving from the intake of this product
are hard to explain. In a nutshell - I am living!
“I have also
become an active sports enthusiast, and have regained my weight. My CD4
count is approximately 230 with my viral load below the accepted
standard.
“I have left my profession as a Logistics Specialist
and am now a full-time HIV/AIDS consultant. In this way, I can play an
important role in assisting others by educating them and making them
aware of HIV/AIDS. I have learnt a tremendous amount of new factors that
makes this disease manageable: Being exposed to different media
intelligence indicates that the infected person can prolong their lives
indefinitely by changing one’s lifestyle, eating correctly, exercising,
using the correct vitamins, supplements and immune boosters.
A
very important aspect is also to have goals, achievable goals! The HIV
infected person must set goals and continue to move them to sustain an
interest in life.
The HIV infected person must be able to act
freely. The stigmas and discrimination must be removed if the sufferer
is to survive.
Above all else, the HIV sufferer must take personal responsibility for his/her life.
“As
an HIV/AIDS consultant, I talk to Company employees about my
experiences of living positively to enlighten them that the disease
should not be feared and the stigma must be removed from South African
society.
David Mullens lives in Roodepoort, Gauteng, and has
become a cycling enthusiast. He began spinning classes at his local gym
in January 2002. He received the ‘green light’ from Dr Pricilla Rowan to
ride in the 2002 94.7 Cycle Challenge, and his weekly training regimen
included spinning classes and cycling twice weekly. Oxygen For Life
sponsored David, and World Masters and South African record holder,
Grenville Scullard, cycled along-side David for the duration of the 94.7
Cycle Challeng to show his support for David’s courageous efforts.
David finished the race in 5 hours 22 minutes.
In 1996, after
having been HIV positive for 12 years, David developed full-blown AIDS,
and was given 6 months to live; and now in 2003, seven years later,
David is working every day as an HIV/AIDS consultant and motivational
speaker; and is training to improve on his time in the 2003 94.7 Cycle
Challenge.

“A
high-ranking government personality became a patient of mine. His AIDS
status was advanced when I was called to visit him - he was already in a
coma. His physician expected him to die within days. I immediately gave
him some Cellfood directly under the tongue. I visited him twice daily
and continued to give him Cellfood. Within 48 hours of starting Cellfood
he had improved, and was no longer comatose. Within a week he was well
enough to fly home to his family. He chose to discontinue taking
Cellfood and died peacefully in the presence of his family. It goes
without saying that these results would be far more lasting if given in
early HIV stages, and not when ‘full-blown’ AIDS is rampant.”
