Post Interferon Long Term Side Effects on other sites

[DoubleDose]

Here is a site that I stumbled across today while Googling long term interferon after effects.  I also found several other sites as well, also 'chocked' full of people detailing their horrible experiences after using interferon.  This sure supports what many of us have been saying and experiencing!!  It is quite disturbing to read additional accounts, some even worse than the experiences documented here on our forum.  Here is the link:  (you will have to copy and paste)

I will bet that sometime soon we will be hearing about these issues in the media.  The sheer volume and severity of the problems will cause this to become an issue that will provoke national media attention....and with very good cause!!!  I just don't think we were really warned of these kinds of long term outcomes.  I know I wasn't.

I don't think Lloyd has ever left someone impaired the way that interferon has . . . over and over.

nah but his bad holistic medicine probably left people open to end stage liver diease quite frequently so in the end which  is worse? I'll take the sides over that any day at all!  :)

You got that right, scary to think about how many people might have died thanks to that quack...........

Interferon has worked for many regardless of your personal opinion of the drug.

I had a liver transplant as a result of HCV in June 2000 so I know how badly the virus can harm us. I treated 3 times and cleared the third time after a 73 week treatment. That was in 2004 and I really couldn't afford to wait. 20% HCV of transplants are cirrhotic within 5 years of their surgery. So interferon/ribavirin saved me and here I am to tell you that I cleared with that dreaded drug you are so quick to condemn. You really should step back and get a broader perspective.

By the way, I knew about Pharmasset way back and liked it. I even bought the stock and made money. I also made money on Vertex. I'm not that smart but I do watch this subject carefully.

Wright - nothing but a pretender and a scam artist and that's nothing remotely like interferon.

nygirl, don't send your fellow zombies after me yet, I was referring to the lawyersandsettlement forum, not MH.  I realize each and every MH post is peer reviewed prior to publishing, then randomly deleted at a later date ;o)

There are some people on here that can't do interferon.  Either because they're among the few that have such extreme adverse reactions that they can't risk it again OR treatment has been unsuccessful and their liver damage has advanced to the point where it's no longer safe.  Those people have spent a huge amount of time researching alternative options and sharing those with other people on this forum and amongst each other in a bid to preserve their health as best they can.  

Not ONE of those people, not ONE....endorses Lloyd Wright or uses his products.  Not one.  That speaks volumes and volumes to me.
