Don't believe everything you read online.

Genotype 1 is harder to cure but the triple treatment is doing well for many of them and the new all oral meds in clinical trials are also doing great.
Maybe your friend can get into a trial.

Only treatment with standard therapy is proven to cure hepatitis C.
Perhaps your friend can get into a clinical trial of the next generation of drugs?


Good luck.

Here is another post related to BHT.
There is a site called Life Extension where BHT is mentioned by so many people as a curative for HCV (and these are recent posts).

I am not sure if MedHelp will let me paste this link in its entirety

But even if that does not work here is one right here on MedHelp. I felt so sorry for how this guy got scammed. It is on old thread with recent posts at the bottom:
