Lloyd,
Please forgive the length of this. I felt the need to
explain my background. I am a 50 yr. old male. I
was originally diagnosed w/ Hep C back in 1995, during
a routine physical. I felt fine. I probably
contracted it in the early 70's due to my lifestyle back
then. (very
stupid).
Went
to a leading Gastro for his opinion. He did a biopsy
and further blood work. Showed elevated ALT's 180/95,
and minimal damage ( the biopsy.)
His
recommendation was interferon. I opted for a second
opinion so he sent me to Shands Hospital (univ. of Fla.)
I believe I saw Gary Davis there (can't remember for sure)
His opinion was the same-interferon. I did
the interferon 3 times a week for a year. My ALT's
came down into the normal range and have stayed there
ever since.
Last
year I had a slight spike in my ALT's 50/46, and my dr.
wanted to immediately start the peg/rebetol. I put
him off for about a year while I tried other natural substances.
I use Maximum Milk Thistle, Liv.52, Vitamin C. Multi
w/out Iron.
Note:
I have never felt bad except for some tiredness at the
end of the day thru-out all of this.
This
is when I first bought your book. I was very intrigued
by your ordeal and cure but the cost were and still are
prohibited to my situation. This past Nov. my dr.
did another blood test but this time w/ a viral scan.
It came back-normal ALT-35/32 but a viral load of
6,000,000. I had to make a choice. My
insurance covers the peg/rebetol, so for strictly financial
reasons I consented to the protocol.
The
first time I did the interferon-I tolerated it fairly
well, this time was completely different. The first
night I really thought I was not going to make it thru.
The longest night of my life! Since then the
side effects have eased a little but I feel terrible.
I am completely exhausted, no appetite, depressed, cold
all the time, clouded thinking, intestinal distress, etc.
I really feel I am poisoning myself but my family and
our finances are such that I feel my hands are tied. I
know the sacrifices you went thru-but I have a family
w/a daughter in college, they come first. I don't
make allot of money and it is a struggle just to pay our
bills. I can't take money away from them for me.
However,
if this gets any worse (side effects), I am going to stop
the treatment. I've only been on it for two weeks.
My main question for you is - If I were to stop this madness
and do your program, what (based on my history) would
you recommend as the minimal product mix for me?
Believe me if I were financially able-I would follow your
system to a T, but ....
Lloyd,
I really appreciate your work and I wish you continued
good Health.
Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Hi C;
I
would stop!
It
does not matter that your insurance company pays for it.
The stuff is poison and can kill you. If it
failed the first time, it will not work the second time.
It is well known but the doctors keep doing it and
I wonder what the reason i$? It is not for
your health.
STOP!
6
million sounds like a range test.
The viral load number is not related to AST, ALT, or symptoms
or liver damage.
That number is not that high. I have people start
my program over 100 million!
I
suggest:
Milk thistle 400 mg 3 x day
Lipoic Acid 200 mg 3 c day
Selenium 400 mcg per day from all sources
Dandelion root tea 1 quart per day, afternoon and evening.
NADH 2.5 mg per day, morning, empty stomach.
Vitamin b complex
Vitamin C to tolerance
Thymus capsules, 1000 mg 3 x day
That
would be a minimum. I would like to see you do more
but this can help and does help many that are having problems.
The
Peg Intron is going to do you more damage in the long
run than you can possible imagine!
I
am here for any further questions.
Merry
Christmas!
Lloyd
