HR-PPC & Probotic ???

Was wondering if i took a PPC & probotic on a daily basis would it help while i wait for the new drugs to be approved? my recent BX was stage 1 and LFT's are usually around the high normal range. high viral load average of 6 million. treatment naive.  would this be benificial for someone like me? besides diet & exercise would you take anything else, vitamins, herbs, etc? thanks again for all the help.

PS, my lipids are out of range and primary wants me to start a statin which i do not want to do because of what i have read about damage it can do to liver. what is your opinion on statins with someone that has HCV and would you recommend someone take one?
presently i take a low dose of BP med for borderline high BP, multi vit without iron,milk thistle,CQ-10. i have tried many other things on and off for the last year, oxymatrine, samE,nac,gluthione,etc,etc. some made me feel better some made me feel worse. just wish i could find the right mix to keep liver damage to a minimum and make me feel better for a few years until the new meds.

Jodi -Can you send me amanda's plan on my email? I'd like to get amy on some kind of regimen that another young person takes
copyman, what is PPC? I do a green mix every other day, the alternate days I do a lot of vitamins/supplements - it seems to definitely help with the fatigue and jet lag - sounds like we have taken a lot of similar things. I go to a raw foods group occasionally and am amazed at the recovery of some of the people that are ill(with other illnesses) - would like to implement more into my life but I'm just not there yet - I have pretty much cut out all meat and only eat fish - but I will eat turkey on the day!!!!!

Travelmom,

Please share Amanda's plan with our forum.  I'm sure it will be VERY HELPFUL!

THANK YOU!

Forseegood,

I e-mailed you a few times (3 times) my e-mail address, asking for Ina's Eisbein e-mail and phone number.  She referred me to you (please see my thread about Immunoglobulins about 10 days ago).

Thank you very much!!

All the best!!!

You may want to read up on PPC and cholesterol (here's a promo piece frem one brand... see pg 20) - http://www.nutrasal.com/pdf_articles/NutrasalPresentation.pdf - that may be of interest.

Also - on the subject of probitoics, also consider prebiotics - read about lactulose as a prebiotic here: http://www.duphalac.com/professionals/prebioticeffectpro/0,,10320-2-0,00.htm
