Subject: REVIVO! WHAT A DRAMATIC RECOVERY!

Hi

It was with great sadness and frustration that I turned to you and your products for my brother's deteriorating health as a result of HIV and AIDS infection. At the time I ordered REVIVO, he was experiencing serious muscle pains and had started to speak with difficulties due to stiff jaws and chest pains. He was also experiencing blocked nose due to fever and was sweating a lot. In the process, he had also lost a lot of weight.
His deteriorating state of health put a strain on the family and there was no hope for a break-through.

However, upon receiving your product, REVIVO and administering it to him, the stiffness of his jaws, muscle and chest pains started disappearing. Within two weeks of taking the tea, he could go to the gym and he began to gain weight. Even his doctor has been impressed with the rejuvenation of his health. The deppression he went through is now gone and his confidence is back. He no longer complaints about muscle and chest pains as well as the blocked nose and sweating is gone. Today, the family is happy to see the sudden change in him. I'm trully greatful for REVIVO as it has brought back to my familly the joy that had long gone.

Thank you once again. We will continue advocating for your product as we have seen and experienced what they could do.

Dear Josef:

I have just been reading about the article on people who have lived with HIV without having to go on treatment. I agree with this article entirely because although coming from a poor nation (Zambia), I have had the privilege of getting myself informed.
When I was diagnosed in 1991 with very little known about the virus and trial medications being tried, I refused to be used as an experiment as I was responding to normal medication and had no serious medical problems. It is also true that different people react differently to the HIV infection just as they react differently towards other medication. I agree that good nutrition, hygiene and ensuring that you attend to the smallest of ailments can take you a long way and most of all your state of mind. It is more of what you feed both your body and mind that counts either physically or emotionally. You have to will yourself to live.
In December 2006 my CD4 count drastically came down to 290 from the previous 6 months of 650 which to me was due to stress. I had a tough time accepting that it was possible the virus had increased although to my knowledge I had not re-infected myself. I had stressed myself out and had not been resting enough (had been studying and ignoring the danger of less rest, inadequate nutrition and ignoring the headaches). The only symptom was dizziness yet my blood count (HP) was as high as 15. I had not lost weight, I had no serious medical problem but I had to succumb to ART.

Again I agree more than ever that the ART are even worse than the HIV itself for now I have more problems with nerves so Iam told especially on my feet and swelling feet even after changing the combination of the drugs three times in the past three months. My heart, kidneys and other vital organs have been checked to no avail (no problems there). At times I feel the treatment is doing me more harm than good. I am in constant pain in my feet. I could have understood the reaction a few weeks or only a few months after starting taking the drugs but not after five months and there is no medical explanation but nerves!!

People should be given the opportunity to live without Anti Retroviral medication as long as possible to avoid the different reactions to the drugs. People should be told the truth as it really is and not exaggerated it so that some make money on the pandemic by supplying these drugs. Especially for the developing countries, most of the ARTs that we receive are second grade and phased out in other more developed countries. The possibility also is that other people are cashing in on our dilemma just to make the extra buck.

Its possible I have lived with the virus for 15 years (knowingly and don’t know how longer I have had it) with fewer problems than this 16th year on ARTs. Its pathetic.!! Those who are HIV and not yet on ART should read widely, get as much as possible medical advise from TRUSTED MEDICAL OR RESEARCH people and most of all don’t make a rush decision to go on ART until you are convinced.

Ensure you don’t reinfect yourself, eat well (even simple but nutritious foods), believe like I used to and still do that a cure may be found soon enough just like small pox and I may be one lucky person who can get cured, yet only on a drug that will be proven beyond any reasonable doubt that it is a true cure.

HANG IN THERE DON’T ALLOW ANY ONE TO MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOU: DECIDE YOURSELF!!

BRAVO… REVIVO!

On April 15th, 2006, to our surprise we both were tested HIV positive in a small local clinic because my wife had already spent 2 weeks earlier on antibiotics seemingly to treat a benign “soar throat”. But her fever spurs were becoming more and more recurrent along with her dry coughing.

My wife’s CD-4 count was then 15 with a viral load of 87,000.
On May 8th, a friend of mine went urgently to Chang Mai (Northern Thailand) and brought me back a supply of Revivo Tea from the Tianzi Tea House. My wife took 4 bags x 10 gr. of Revivo that day. That same evening, all fever and vomiting, which previously lasted for 3 weeks, had stopped immediately….! And never reoccurred.

In the meantime, from May 8th to May 15th 2006, because my wife was not admissible to receive any antiretroviral treatment before being cleared-off from her immediate Opportunistic Infections, it gave me an exclusive, objective and verifiable window of opportunity to administer her with a full treatment of Revivo (without her treating doctor's knowledge) : 4 (10g) bags per day.

Her doctor took a Western Blott HIV blood test on May 15th.
Her CD-4 count was up from 15 to 24!…. Her doctor didn’t explain why the increase in CD-4 occurred so quickly and suddenly.
But all I can say is this:
Her CD-4 count COULD NOT GO UP BY 65% IN ONLY 1 WEEK TIME, IF IT WAS’NT BECAUSE OF HER SOLE ABORPTION OF REVIVO and nothing else (except her regular antibiotics she was prescribed).

Josef,

Can you imagine the time of the day I am sending this email - nearly 12:00 midnite; I can't even sleep with joy. Thank you a thousand times please let the whole world know that this thing works. Its true it has worked on me and am really proud of you guys.

Keep it up - Shame to those who don't want to believe; I have got my life back so my message to the infected is 'Just do it' its a miracle.

I just had my results back yesterday and guess what the virus is no longer detactable - does that mean I am all clear. Can I try and have some more tests with different clinics I am still in a bit of a shock but am still taking revivo until my next appointment then they will decide if I should stop or not.

I have also gained weight, thanks so much. May God bless you.

I probably followed the usual behaviors of someone who finds out he’s positive;
initial panic, depression and a great need for information. The panic and
depression luckily settled quickly and the search for information brought me to
Revivo.

I started using it the month after I tested positive in December 2003 with a
cell count of 370. My first test was due 1 month after I started with Revivo and the
cell count had increased to over 600. Values have been consistently around 600.

The only exception was May 2005 when I forgot to order the tea and didn’t take it
during the 2 months leading up to my test. Only in that test cell count dropped to
340. Scientific proof that it works? Probably not but enough for me to be
convinced that Revivo keeps me off medication and secures constant test
values.

Mr Josef Hello

Firstly, I referred to you if you had any alternate treatment for a friend of mine who has a health problem (no connection to the HIV virus), because of the success Revivo has had on me and I thank you for your prompt reply.

I would like to take part in assisting people by reading about my story and going back to June 1997 where I was first detected.

My CD4 count then was 772, my only reaction was terror and a negative attitude which was developed. I lived in S.Africa where I was very unhappy, but continued my daily routine without realising what was happening to me,ending up in depression and being
suicidal, and resulting in me having leucoencephalopathy, in Jan of 2000 with a CD count of 532.

At this stage I had not even understood why I could not eat and that my speech was slurred. My daughter had come to see me there and all I can remember, even now, is being in a clinic after that. Thereafter she left for her home overseas and waited for me to join her after I recuperated, which was very quick, much to my doctors surprise. Probably the thought that I was joining her helped me speed up the process.

I left, but it took me a few years to getting my memory back and my brain working normally and I can say now I might be a minimum 5% "off'. My daughter, being very protective over me, started searching for an alternative treatment that I could take with my tablets and came up with Revivo.

I started taking Revivo in Jan 2003 when my CD4 count then was 579. Thereafter I was on my way up and up... My last count was taken in April 2006 where it was 1270 and I really have been very hopeful at living a good, content life.

I have no words to say how grateful I am for your support to helping people living with the HIV virus in supplying the Revivo. This has been one main factor that has turned my whole life around, for the better and one can only be grateful for that.

Note: Circumstances allowing here, to be able to travel to China, meeting Mr.Josef and Minguo, the people who affected my life in such a positive way, would be a peak for me.

I thank you very much once again

Dr. Minguo.

I am absolutely amazed at the time it took for Revivio tea to bring up my cd4 cell count from 240 to 428 and my viral load from 111000 down to 61400 in only on month of taking two bags of the tea, one in the morning and one before bed time.
I started taking it on April 6 and on May 8 I went to have my cd4 and viral load tested.

Thank you so much for this miraculous medicine. I have a bad liver from birth and was very afraid of taking western treatments, which most of them are known to be liver toxic. You have no idea how happy it makes me to know that your herbal tea Revivo is working on my HIV status.

Thank you, thank you so much. May God, Buddha, Ahla, Krishna, Jesus or whom ever you believe in reward you for this noble job you and your team are making for us people with HIV, I kiss your hands.

Dear Mr. Josef,

We have talked a couple of months ago about ordering REVIVO 3 months pack for a
friend of mine.
But, as the package arrived to me very late, I didn't take it to him anymore.
Instead, due to your description on the site - that the tea has a wide range of
action, for rhinitis, for colds and flues, etc. - I gave one bag of teas to my
brother who has a chronic rhinitis, and already three nose operations for
sinusitis and polyps.
I kept one bag for myself, as I work and travel a lot in various countries and
exposing myself to contacting flu or cold, or possibly other viruses (I have as
well a rhinitis, as my brother - I think it's a family treat).
And, the third bag I have sent it to my parents, because they are old and more
exposed to flu and cold at their age.

It's amazing the effects we all felt after two weeks of administering this tea. No
more blocked nose, no more sneezing. I do not get any colds lately. We all feel
better, and I hope and think is not just a "placebo" effect.

That's why I would like to order one more 3 months pack of REVIVO.
I will pay as I did last time, via Western Union.

Thank you very much and looking forward for your reply.

Holla:

Please let me know how I should pay for 3 month supply of Revivo. As stated before, I stopped taking revivo for a month to better judge its efficacy. I have to admit I'm very concerned about the drop I had on my CD4, but for one thing that was good. Now I cleared all doubts about Revivo results. Initially I had my CD4 480, then jumped to 570 with Revivo and now dropped to 388 without Revivo. The Virus Kept on drooping regardless Revivo. First test was 140000, with Revivo dropped to 80000 and now without Revivo dropped as well to 60000.
Now tat I'm back I'll continue on working and advertising Revivo. I know 2 month supplies doesn't seem much but, beleive, it was a remake for me. It made me realize it works and now I'm much more motivated, for 2 reasons, the response itself and the assurance of its efficiancy through my latest exams.

Mr. Josef

I thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I received an e mail from Minguo that the order was mailed on October 25th, so I presume it should be here quite soon.

I would not like to inconvenience you at all on your travel, but I would appreciate if you could, at your convenience, take note of the excellent progress that Ive had since taking the Revivo approximately 2 years ago, together with my treatment drugs, and reply to a couple of questions that I have.
For the record: My CD4 count in Oct 2003 was 579
May 2004 was 873
Jan 2005 was 892
Mar 2005 was 1296
Sep 2005 was 1136

You state that once the CD count is above 560 the dosage should be reduced.

Is there any particular reason for this ? And why?
Or can I continue taking Revivor every day, even though I have been taking irregular breaks, ie: stopping for a couple of weeks now and then when I do not have the means to make the tea when I am away from home.

I would appreciate, once again, at your convenience, reply to this matter.

Lastly. I would like to thank you and your company for such a magnificent act in supplying this tea....

Regards

Hi Josef,

Thanks so much for your reply a couple of days ago. I took the opportunity to allow myself a couple of relaxing days in Chiang Mai as it is my holidays now and to get the revivo from Mr Lee. Im very happy with it, after 2 days of use I got rid of an itchy feeling when urinating, something that has been bothering me for 2 years now and which no antibiotics or any other method seemed to relieve. 2 Days of revivo and it's gone.

I'm going to recommend this product to all the people whom I know to be HIV+ so please be ready for some more orders in the near future!!

Hi Minguo

Thanks a lot for responding so nicely. You are such a kind person who is generous enough.

My family and I had miraculous effect on our bodies as a result of revivo. In actual fact, one or two of us would have died had there been one or two weeks delay in taking revivo.

At least, a great difference in restoring early devastating symptoms as a result of infection from HIV/AIDS
I will still order (.......).

You have a nice Belated Xmas and a Happy Prosperous New Year 2006

Dear Mr. Minguo.

After being tested two times positive in two different hospitals, and started taking anti viral pills like v-1 and spiralina for almost two years and praying to God all the times to consider and heal me. Later i came to discover about rivivo and decided to order for one month treatment. When i got the medicine i took it for 20-days and decided to go and do another anti hiv test. To my surprise, and i believe it is a miracle from my God as well as the herbal tea, because i also believes that it is made by the almighty God. After the lab test, my result came negative. Therefore i thanks you and your staff for providing me with this natural tea and i also thanks the almighty God for healing me with his super natural power.

Do you have anything to tell me? even the same doctor who tested me first and i was positive and he did the second test and my result became negative was surprised and he asked what have i been doing to myself ? I told him i have been praying to God and taking revivo and he said i also believes in God and he ask me for your contact and i gave him. In addition to this, my stomach pain came from bacteria infection i went to hospital and did my X-ray and doctor told me i was having liver abscess cause from eating unhygienic food which had bacteria in it and i got good treatment as well and before doing my second hiv test. And i am now well.

Thanks

Dear D. King,

thank you very much for your happy feedback. I am very glad for you and wish that you will stay unaffected by hiv. Kindly let me add a word of caution:
Even if now you are tested negative of the virus, please be aware and alert that there could still be dormant stages of the virus present in your body. Those dormant stages could become active e.g. during times of high stress. Hence, please see to it that your happiness and good mood stays with you as it is the best guarantee for a healthy immune system.
Should you encounter future emotional or physical stress, we are advising to take revivo during these times to ensure your immune system stays on guard.

Wishing you well and thank you for your kind feedback,
Minguo

I have been taking Revivo for more than six months, now. My viral load has decreased substantially, generally by about half each time, at each 2 month intervals of measure. I have been positive for a very long time, and it may take time to recover. I spoke to Brad (who posted here) on the street in Vancouver, and gave him a single dose of Revivo to try. Although I don't exactly find the flavour to my taste, I do think the herbal medication is accomplishing something worthwhile. Persons who have not been positive as long as I have, may find good response with Revivo.
Stephen Mc Manus

I would like to add that Revivo has improved my situation. I have used Traditional Chinese Medicine before, but in those days (early to mid 1990's), there was no viral load measurement. Herbal medicine turned around my health, back then, so I have the confidence in this system of medicine. Today, I have proof that Revivo is an effective antiviral, without any side effects--in my personal experience. Over the years, I have observed that natural medicines require more time to accomplish improvements with HIV disease. Of course, I am hoping for further improvements, but know that patience and long term use is usually required. I have seen dramatic clinical improvements with drugs in others. Also, I see crippling neuropathy, and most recently, the death of the blood supply to the large joints, requiring replacement of the bone. I am content with slower acting, but consistantly good medications, such as Revivo, which permit me an active and fully functional life. My first criteria is that a medication must be safe to use.

I am very
pleased to send you my experience with REVIVO.
I have been HIV+ for approx three years.
I took a regular bloodtest on november.
By mere coincidence I saw your product on planetout.com sometime before I
had the results from the november bloodtest, and I started using the
product:
- taking two bags every day from december, untill I had a new
bloodtest january.
Results from the november bloodtest showed:
CD4 level at 360
viral load of 3.300.000
and the situation was looking critical because I found myself in a
dramatical downward curve. My doctor wanted to prepare for medication, but
wanted a new test on january first.
Since january. I have anxiously been waiting for the results of the
bloodtest, and
The results came yesterday:
CD4 level up to 485
Viral load down to 685 000
My doctor was totally surprised from this dramatic change, and I will not
start conventional medication now.
He suggested I continously take REVIVO, and then I shall have a new
bloodtest in february. I am excited about the outcome and so is he!
Thank you very much.
