You are mixing things a bit.
Life is a journey. There are four noble truths that you must understand to find the path. The second noble truth is that desire is the source of suffering. So giving up desire is certainly necessary.
The path itself is eightfold. The first two elements in the eightfold path are right understanding and right intention (or right thought) which are collectively termed wisdom.
The four noble truths:
. Noble Truth of Suffering
. Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering
. Noble Truth of the End of Suffering
. Noble Truth of the Eightfold Path
The eightfold path:
. Right understanding
. Right intention or right thought
. Right speech
. Right action
. Right livelihood
. Right effort
. Right mindfulness
. Right concentration

None of the above. Buddha taught that by realizing Nirvana one would realize the fulfillment of all desires. He did not say that giving up desires was a way to get there. Even he "desired' to help others realize this truth.

None of the above. The way to find "truth" is to examine things for yourself logically, test it like gold, chew his words over yourself, analytical meditation, etc.
The way to enlightenment is WISDOM and ALTRUISM... there is no other way... like 2 wings of a bird. You don't have to give up a DARN thing... you learn not to cling to things nor to have aversions to them, but rather a MIDDLE WAY. So you don't have to leave home, family, your desires or anything else... you just learn wisdom and absolute altruism... as you progress along that path, some things, by default just sorta go by the wayside and some people find themselves less attached to things they normally thought they couldn't live without before.

he believed that if you give up your desires, you also lose the negative results of those desires.
