My mother has Hep c and latent TB
Hello my mother has had hep c for around 30 years now (blood transfusion) and recently got the gold blood test for tb as she was told she had it at a nursing home when her leg got broke with the skin test. She took a chest x-ray and everything is fine. However I'm very worried how to even start with this duel diagnosis.
I read ethumbutol was a first line drug but her doctors are recommending InH and vit b6
and I'm concerned as she has the hep c and this drug can increase the risk of heptotoxity .as well as be a strain on the liver.
She has complained that her legs and arms are jelly like and its worrying her and me.
She also has osteo arthritus and is somewhat limited physically because of a car accident years ago and I'm wondering if this might be a natrual progession over time as well? She's 56
I would greatly appreciate any guidance, insight or feedback. Her viral load is at a million and she does not have cirrhosis, however she hasn't had a liver biopsy done only ultrasound.
How urgent is care? What are possible complications that are caused with treatment for tb and is there a way to avoid them?
Also does her hep c have a chance of strengthening if treatment for tb is carried out?
Do I have to seriously worry about a liver transplant being possible? if so that terrifies me.

Why would I ever care what you suggest I do ? Be assured I do not. I want this discussion to be in the public realm and for important reasons. I wish for people to know about BHT as an effective alternative treatment. Is that for some reason difficult for you to understand ? I am trying NOT to use BIG words, to make my reasoning as clear and simple as possible. ...Oscar

Why so defensive? I didn't call anyone a liar, so don't try to put words in my mouth. As I stated, "If you have something valid, please post it". We would all enjoy reading something with merit that has been tested in trial and proven, not anecdotal information of one or two people saying it worked for them.
Well, I guess so. Who asked you for any comment ? I was responding to shakar. His father has the results shakar says he does. Or are you saying he is a liar ? You and willbb seem determined to discount the extremely positive results the people I have listed have experienced with the use of BHT to treat hepatitis C. Why is that ? Why would anyone choose to denigrate a treatment that has shown itself to be safe and effective for at least some people ? ...Oscar
Here we go again. No data or published studies to share, just a, "hey, it works!". Show us the data with HCV on humans, not the effects on the lifespan of rats. If you have something valid, please post it. Otherwise stop pushing the snake oil remedies.
And here is what fatcha brute has to say about BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C and, for him, genital warts also. Genital warts result from another lipid enveloped virus. This posting is in: The Hip Forums, Here is what fatcha brute has to say: Posts: 2

Hey my dear your wrong, look up BHT, its a persertive, it enters the lipid envelope of the virus and kills it dead, i know because my 100 venerial warts are gone in a month, and my viral load for C is undectable. this is amazing stuff and these freekin bastarb doctors will not even tell you about it.
Its cheap and once people get it , it will cost the pharmacuticles, the doctors, the hospitials billions of dollars, you take two caps a day. dont believe me
All this " rub this, bathe in that, stick this up there is quackery.
So now there are five people I am aware of for whom BHT had dramatic positive results as a treatment for hepatitis C: Myself, January, Gina, fatcha brute, and Dr. W. Also your father`s progress agrees with my experience and that of these others I have noted. You did state that his viral load is down to less than 50% of what it was after 2 weeks of treatment with the BHT.
Please keep this forum updated as to your father`s progress. I know of NO OTHER TREATMENT, prescribed or not that comes anywhere close to such dramatic results as BHT. And it costs so very little [ 12 to 15 dollars for 100 dosages ]. Now with BHT to achieve a true cure takes at least 2 years of daily dosing. This is because it takes about 1 year for the liver to renew itself and even when no HCV virus shows up in the blood tests, the liver still has many infected cells. The same is true of all the prescribed treatments. But unlike the prescribed treatments, BHT is actually good for you taken in the dosages I have discussed. That is why people often relapse in a few years when taking interferon and ribovarin. So if your father tolerates the BHT well as most people do, it is important that he keep taking it. I wish you and your father well and to be well. Sincerely, ..Oscar
