llyod wright

i couldnt sleep last night [night sweats yipee] so was online most of it ,i was reading posts reguarding llyod wright, do i hear this correctly this guy has hcv recived interferon for 4 weeks and i beleive he was administerd it incorrectly ie after his first shot he complained about the side effects and his doctor said JUST TAKE HALF A SHOT,so his treatment was unsuccesfull and this was in the 90,s when treatment was at an early stage,i feel this guy is very bitter with the medical profession because it failed him,unfortunatly i listened to this guy reguarding nexium ,wich he went on to say not to take it under any cercumstances ,take xantac or similuer intead wich i did for 3 months ,and a review of my virul load over 9 years revealed it had no effect on my virul load at all,anybody who suffers from a hiatus hernia, reflux desiese will back me up on this as soon as i stopped taking it my life was hell,couldnt sleep with the pain ,lost 2 and a half stone due to not eating,it was my fault for acceping this guys advice,and thats all he,s doing is giving advice unfortunatly in my case it was both wrong and dangerous advice,im going to do more advice on this guy because he effected me personally,i beleive he helps some people regaurding peoples health,but feel he sould shut the hell up when it comes to having a grudge against certain drug companys,

Al - there are a LOT of things on the internet that scream I am a CURE or buy me I will cure you or STOP HepC in its tracks with this herb.....

However the ONLY thing in the world that will kill it is current standard of care interferon and ribavirin.  NOTHING else (otherwise we would all have done THAT for sure instead of tx!!!)

Don't pay attention to any of it.  There are people out there who just live to take advantage of the sick or elderly of the world.  From what I have heard - stay away from this guy too.

There are plenty of really GREAT heptologists in the world that we can go to.  Don't be fooled for one second by these "snake oil salesmen" as we call them!

I can't wait for you to get started so you can KICK VIRUS AZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Nexium is not an antacid but it can be very effective for reflux or GERD. Nexium can be taken with ribavirin and I've never heard any doctor say not to take it on treatment. I would not take any information on faith from that web site.

I forgot about the night sweats let me tell you I don't miss them!

Anyway the reason you aren't supposed to take the antacid type medications is because of the effect it can have on the ribavirin.  If you do take them make sure it's at least two hours AFTER you take your pills or it could absorb them and make them ineffective.
