Arsenic Trioxide for hep C

I found on the internet treatment for Hep C from Dr. Shah who offers a bunch of herbs as well as Arsenic Trioxide to help the virus. My question if I'd like to order that what could be the side effects of Arsenic trioxide? Dr. Shah claims there aren't any. Could Ar trioxide have a healing effect on the liver?

Thank you

the aging thing must be on another post but if you are worrying about looking older because of treatment you should see how old you look when your liver shuts down !

On an earlier post in Sept. 09 you mention you have backed out of treatment and were thinking of doing so again. Apparently you did. You should listen to PegOnPeg's reply to you.

Why would you want to change from a valid accepted treatment to a snake oil 'cure' touted by an unknown internet 'doctor' with it's own set of unknown but certainly harsh, and very possibly deadly side effects.

Just guessing here, there is a treatment for every stage. If there is, do it. You don't know what year 36, or 42, or any year brings. What if you develop a condition that complicates treatment or prevents it?

I don't know if treatment will age your face 10 years or not. So what? If true, it will be true anytime you start. Is your job, or marriage dependent on you looking 35 rather than 45? Looks can seem to be important. YOU are more than your looks.

Sorry if I'm out of line with this. I wish you all the best life has to offer. If you should start there are plenty of people here to help every step of the way.

I thought I had heard it all with these "snake oil" treatments!

I have heard the present drugs Interferon & Ribavirin be called poison because they are very hard on the body but Arsenic poison for real to treat is nonsense.......

To answer your question, yes Arsenic will cure HCV very quickly because you will be DEAD !!!

Ok I'll say this only once arsenic trioxide, is given to some cancer patients. And these patients have to be monitored extremely closely because it can cause fatalities and is very likely to do so. It also can mess up the electrical impulses in your heart. Now this doc shah??? If he is a real doc? Shouldn't be saying that arsenic trioxide has no side effects should he? And the very fact that he does, should ensure that you definitely dint buy anything off him or even visit any site that he appears on ever again. And for proof of what I say is true simply google arsenic trioxide, pick a government site from the search results and read the answer yourself.
