lymphocytes which are of capital importance for the efficiency of the immunizing apparatus.? ?The practice of the HIV test, independently of its result, can start a disorder of the immune system. And if the test is positive, the majority of the subjects react with a psychic shock, a depression and anguish. This ?test crisis,? often overpowering, starts at once to cause symptoms similar to those of AIDS such as a loss of weight and night sweats in people who were healthy before.? ?The psychic overload due to a positive HIV test is so extraordinarily heavy that seropositive people undergo depressive states even more painful and anguish even more intense than the patients with AIDS-disease?The despair leads further so that a great percentage of hiv-positive individuals are not able then to change their way of life?so that the very practices which are detrimental to immunity, such as drug consumption and insufficient, poor quality food?are continued and even intensified.? ?Just like isolation, the depression and the anguish carry damage to biological defenses, the interest carried in the world, the joy and the love that reinvigorates the immune system.? ?AIDS thus appears as the culmination of a medicine which is more and more under the domination of anguish. It is an immense challenge to seek to develop a new medicine of confidence.? (translated from French) The dogma of HIV in AIDS, Das Goetheanum, Nov. 22, 1992 ?
