As a gay man, one of the hardest things you can do is come out. You fear whether or not your family and friends will accept this ‘new’ you and you face the possibility of losing the people that are important in your life. After I came out as gay, the one thing I never thought I would have to do just came to pass…but this time, as an HIV-positive man?! I went home and broke down. I told my mum, and I'm glad I did. She has been brilliant and so supportive. I know I'm lucky, as not everyone gets support from friends or family. I was gotten an herbal medicine from California which later happens to be a cure & before 14 days as told i went back for a test, surprising i came out Negetive.

My name is Sunli gandhi, Dr. Harvey is the only herbal doctor who could ever get my HIV cured with his herbal products. I have tried almost everything but I couldn’t find any solution for the virus, despite all these happening to me, I always spend a lot of money to buy HIV drugs and other supplements to keep me healthy and taking several medications. Until one day I was just surfing through YouTube when I came across a great post from Anita, who said that she was diagnosed with HIV and was healed through the help of this great herbal supplements of Dr Harvey, Sometimes I really wonder why people call him the great Dr.Harvey, I never knew it was all because of the great and perfect work that he has been doing. So I quickly contacted him and told him everything happening to me, and he asked me a few questions and he said something I will never forget, that anyone who contacts him is always getting his/her cure within a few weeks after doing all he asks them to do. So I was amazed all the time I heard that from him, so I did everything he said only to see that at the very day which he said I will be cured and should go for a test to confirm my status, I went to hospital for the final test and the doctor after running the test said I'm HIV Negative wow. I'm very amazed and happy about this cure i have really gone through so much pain and tears for this Dr.Harvey cured me with the help of his natural herbs.If you have anybody going through this same situation or any kind of cancers or diseases at all contact Dr Harvey today he cures them all save a life today.

In 2010, I went to a local hospital in Hagerstown, Maryland with stomach issues. I was later transferred to a large hospital in Baltimore after developing jaundice. There, I learned that there was a tumor blocking my liver duct—the cause of the stomach distress—and that I had Stage 3 pancreatic cancer. I had no prior family history of the disease and was only 44-years-old at the time of diagnosis. I tried so many Treatment but still no change, until a friend of mine told me about Dr Harvey, he told me how Dr Harvey cured his uncle with his Herbal Products and Suggested I contact him ,so I quickly Contacted him and explained everything to him and he assured me that his Herbal Products will cure me which I strongly believed ,so I purchased it and he told me how to use it which I did , after some time I started noticing some Changes in my body after 30 days I went for a test and to my greatest surprise the result was negative, Wow I’m so happy about this, thank you so much Dr Harvey. you can also contact Dr Harvey on VIA EMAIL: (Drharveyphytotherapy@yahoo.com)

Finding out I was HIV positive wasn't easy But as time has passed, I have slowly come to terms with my HIV-positive status and try to tackle it with a positive attitude. In mid-2015 I became quite ill. I developed persistent flu-like symptoms, headaches, a nagging cough and sores that wouldn't heal. My skin felt as if it was crawling, my legs ached, I felt nauseous and lost weight. Then exhaustion hit. It was an indescribable tiredness and no matter how much I slept I never felt rested. In 2016 I was hospitalized when my CD4 count nosedived to 86 (HIV-negative people have a CD4 count of between 700 and 1,000;a CD4 count of below 200 is considered dangerously low). It was a terrible time. I have a vivid memory of sitting in a wheelchair covered with a blanket and catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I looked and felt like a little old lady.I was so ill I could barely walk 200 meters. I hadn't realized how little I appreciated my health until it was taken away from me. Fortunately I had a fantastic support system. Even though I was struggling to cope at work I didn't lose my job. On the contrary the company I work for, my colleagues and my boss have been incredibly supportive throughout my illness.It was a frustrating time because I so desperately wanted to function like a normal human being. Yet I honestly thought I was going to die. I thought I was too far gone. It’s almost as if your body begins to reject everything it requires to sustain life. It was probably the scariest time of my life. I wished not for a bigger house or more money or a fancy car – I wanted to have the strength to go for a simple walk on the beach.To this day that time has stuck with me and it has been life-changing. I wasn't really materialistic before but if I ever find myself becoming caught up in the whirlwind of life I stop and take myself back to that time. The best things in life really are priceless. All my pains and sorrows turn to joy and history from the day i came in contact with Dr Osagie,,Who really helped me with his herbal prescriptions,I WAS TOLD HE IS A HERBALS SPECIALIST AND HE CAN BE OF HELP, I gave him a try and it really work out for me, today here i am negative.Contact him via: (DrOsagieherbal@gmail.com) …. or on his Whatsapp: +22960714125 He is always able to help you get your heart desire granted
