 AB    The pediatric patients have been treated with the natural remedies since
       March 1992. During the first 12 months, we compared results of a group
       treated with natural remedies and one with AZT. We did not observe a
       better response in the AZT group than in natural herb group. During the
       next eight months, only natural remedies were used, and the most
       favorable result was observed in the subjects of Group II who were
       treated with clinical herbal medicine, herb extract and soup. In this
       group, all patients with AIDS symptons improved and they returned to
       simply HIV positive status clinically except one case. In Group I
       (herbal medicine and soup), more than 90% of the patients were improved.
       The mortality has been remarkably reduced in comparison with the other
       group which has been treated ordinarily. As our experience shows, the
       natural treatment should be recognized as an effective method for
       management of AIDS symptoms at the present time.
