Hep
C Treatment and History
May 18, 2003
Lloyd,
Thank you for your effort and research on finding a cure for hep c. I was told by my doctor that because of my blood type genotype 2b that I had a 100% chance of curing.
I went on the peg/ribavarin combo therapy 6 months ago and it was hell. After running tests they told me that the treatment didnt work and I had a poor response even though my viral load went down they said I could stay on it longer but there was no guarantee that it would stay low after I got off the treatment.
I continued to work which was an effort even getting out of bed to do everyday task was a battle. I am ready to try the remedies you have used to beat this disease. I suspect I got the hep c back in 1982 from a blood transfusion and discovered I had it when I donated blood 2 years ago... the test have shown that my enzyme levels were close to normal and my liver biopsy showed very little inflammation... I wanted to try the treatment to get rid of it so that my liver would not be more damaged from this disease.
I am 47 and I am scared that it is in me and want to do what I can to get rid of it. I am hoping that you can quide me as to what I should be taking and for how long... Thank you for your support in this silent epidemic... it is a battle. I decided not to take the combo medicine any more as of two days ago and I am already feeling better. They tell me it will take 3 weeks for this to get out of my system... I can't wait! I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely D A W
