I am a registered dietitian that works in a clinic that specializes in HIV. I frequently use the information in "Built to Survive" as well as check what you post on this forum. I met you several years ago when you came to speak in Melbourne, FL. I just wanted to say thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to providing people with valuable information.
Sincerely,
Victor

Response from Mr. Vergel
Dear Victor
It is so nice to get up in the morning to read an email like yours. I am glad I can be of help and make the road a little easier for those behind me. As you know, I am a big supporter and advocate of registered dietitians and their important role in the management of HIV. I just wish that more clinics hired more qualified RD's to help patients make correct food and supplementation choices.
Thank you for your work also. People in your field sometimes do not get the recognition and thanks that you deserve!
