God Bless you  and all you are:)
Yepp me too over the last 10 years have seen it all- from fear based accusations to tactless abuse and shame mongering- I dont belong to many lists anymore for that very reason-I choose stuff like The Course In Miracles as healing modalities ;)
I am sure I came across you on Zhangs forum 4/5 yrs ago??
I was with Joses group Fiteback and hepcdontexist yahoo groups- good bunch of very daring and dedicated folk in those groups;) most dont post anymore-yet most are well and have found what works for them and they are outside the box so to speak ;)
My best wishes fro You
God bless from Rob in ireland

It is my hope that you don't leave this forum permanently...but maybe it is good for all of us to take a short leave of absence. Though sometimes it seems that some posters work for the pharm. co.'s....there are many who desire to know what else is hapnin' on the grapevine alternatively speaking. Sorry to say...there are no guarantees...no matter the genotype.

Most of all, I appreciate your dignity and strength throughout treatment....hate to see you depart. I hope I can follow your example.

With utmost Respect,
Yvonne

Myself and a few friends used to head to Manhattan on Friday nights to go to a session of qigong:  A friend got me interested after tx...interesting. Forgot about that. What a dear friend. Gotta give her a call. Thanks for all your input. Hey...Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!

What part are you from? Both my parents are from Clare and loads of family there. With the help of God...I'll be there next year April-May.

Rob: thanks for your input and contributions above.

A professor at UC Davis said last Sunday regarding Alternative medicine: "Humans are not wired to be particularly objective. Once we have a small amount of information about something or someone, our minds begin to construct pretty strong beliefs.

As a simple example, my wife and I often argue over the quality of a hair cut. She's convinced the more she pays, the better the cut. Personally, I see no demonstrable difference to support this observation."

The rest of the article is very interesting also about his interview with Dr. Andrew Weil. It is published in the Sacramento Bee - Sunday edition March 9 by Dr. Michael Wilkes.

In China you only pay your doctor when you are well because he's doing his job right. If you are sick, you do not pay him. The doctors in China are very competitive with each other each trying to do the best job for their patients. Here they get paid regardless of the outcome.

Personally, I have moved on and no longer have the time, energy or motive to argue with anyone about alternative medicine (that I have studied since 1985). I'm in other forums now. I'm glad to have shared the last 1 1/2 years with you.

I wish the best for everyone and God bless you.

just for the record I have had the condition known as hep c for nearly 30 years- was dignosed in 99- I did the standard drug combo- -it didnt work- I am still repairing my body fro the damage caused by the riba and intfn....
I ve been taking chinese herbs on and off for nearly 20 years-
the important issue is who is treating you and how qualified they are...also the herbs that  are going to be taken  have been tested and screened for any contaminants(we all know alot of stuff ends up in unchecked chinese herbs that could be leathal to anyone with liver disease).
I ve been treated on and off by John Tindall in London- a real expert at what he does..
I have a reasonable quality of life and I put that down to lifestyle changes regular herbs and accupuncture and a qigong practice
your mileage may well vary !!

Wish you well -God bless from Rob
