  In 1985, therapist Niro Asistent tested HIV positive. Facing what many saw as a death sentence, Niro created her own programme of emotional therapy, daily meditation, and healthy diet and exercise. Since 1986, she has tested HIV negative. In this personal account of struggle, Asistent shows how she turned fear, shame, denial and anger into strength, self-acceptance and courage that then gave her the power to heal herself. She desribes the specific techniques she used from journal keeping, meditation, and emotional self-therapy to the vital benefits of sound nutrition and daily exercise, to the importance of setting new priorities. Niro Markoff Asistent is the founding Director of SHARE (The Foundation for the Self Healing AIDS Related Experiment).
