Treatment Alternative

My doctor has me taking Amantadine, Urso, and Cholchicine as an alternative treatment for Hep C. He has treated another patient with this whose viral count has been drastically reduced. He told me that this probably will not cure Hep C but the indication is that for the other patient, it is probably protecting the liver from further damage and may be able to be used long term for management of Hep C. If true, I would be willing to use it to buy more time until some new treatments are developed.
Are you familiar with these medications? Have you heard of anyone else using them for Hep C? What do you think about the theory that a drastically reduced viral count is indicative of less liver damage? Do you know of any problems that could result from the long term use of these medications?
Thank You very much.
