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.

Hi, I answered with her email, phone number a few times, maybe youre not getting them? Looks like you don't have a profile, that might have something to do with it...I'll check...

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

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!!!

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!!!!!
