FROM MED HELP - RE: THANBEY
Teresa Hanbey is the Executive Director of "Hepatitis C Outreach Project". I have personally spoken with Ms. Hanbey and find her to be extremely knowledgeable. Some of you said that she posted something on Med Help claiming to be a doctor. I have searched through as many postings as I can find in our Hep. Forum and do not see that she has ever made such a claim.
In addition, some of you are concerned that she is trying to somehow get you to leave Med Help and go to her website. For the record, she doesn't offer online Forums or Chat areas on her website. A number of you have posted threats and extremely nasty comments such as:
EXAMPLE 1) Concerns re: thanbey: "Right I've had enough of this lets shoot thanbey. It'll only take 2 bagsey the grassy knoll!"
MED HELP WILL NOT TOLERATE DEATH THREATS AGAINST ANYONE AT ANY TIME!
-----------------------------
EXAMPLE 2) "...She is condecending, a know it all troll, and quotes clinical studies that only her web site can link to."
------------------------------
How dare you call this woman a "troll"? Ms. Hanbey spends every single day doing her best to help people with Hepatitis. You are entitled to disagree with her ideas, but you are NOT entitled to viciously attack her in an open Internet forum!
How many of you come here expecting everything to be free and then have the audacity to attack Ms. Hanbey for her $17K salary! I think she deserves 10 times that amount! How long will resources like Ms. Hanbey's & Med Help be around if the very people who USE THEM aren't willing to support them?

This teresa hanby thing has gotten out of hand. I keep seeing all this **** on this forum with her defensive postings and others on this forum posting back to her and keeping this 'agree to disagree' conversation going. This is a medhelp.org forum and should be viewed as such. I'm actually a little frustrated to see this squabble everyday and back and forth stuff on the same old agree to disagree subject now for what seems like 2 weeks.
I was one of the first who posted to Ms. Hanby after I saw that she was coming on this forum and posting. I posted to her and everyone regarding that I realized that she was from another forum/website and that I had received good information from her writings and on healthboards site. I'm not going for alternative treatment, so the alternative treatment deal doesn't interest me right at this moment. I've seen her website and her organization's material now for the past year. I use her website the same as I do anything else. I gather the information that pertains to me and that I need to know and actually if the information doesn't suit me (as in alternative ways to treatment my disease) then I don't use that information and I don't comment on the good or the bad. I surely can't find the energy to get wound up with her information or anyone else's. I do understand that Teresa has dedication with research and publishing information regarding hepatitis C which as we all now is far and few between. Maybe someday this will be wider publicized and can be a disease that everyone will be able to know about and know about and this can be a someday 'preventable disease'.
This subject regarding she said/he said is frankly getting quite boring. I come on this forum and I choose this forum so that I can speak to others regarding hepatitis C and treatment (medical) treatment of hepatitis C. This forum has always been wonderful for me and I appreciate medhelp.org and the members of this forum immensely.
Let's get over this other deal that has been going on and now involves the administration of this forum. Take the information that you can use and don't get involved with information that is not useful for you.
This whole subject is like 'beating a dead horse' over and over again everyday. Frankly with my situation with the stress of this treatment, having this disease and having to continue to completely strive towards reaching my goal with my extended treatment.....I don't give a damn who gets paid for what and who peddles different ideas. I choose to do what I want to do with my disease...plain and simple.
I love and really depend on everyone here and don't want to loose this continued solid information that we all share and that I can gather and hold on to from everyone here who is doing the same treatment that I am.

I had a funny thing happen to me today. I had kind of an off day and was shuffling very slowly across a grocery parking lot today when I heard some little kids in a car yell " hey Dad ,hey Daddy, and then hey old Grampa" when I looked at them again they giggled and hid. They were so cute I just had to smile. I'm not much over forty!
Debbiedoo, are you still out there Hero? You were nice to me when I first posted on this board,and you're going through this alone,too! You must be too busy to post much taking care of old folks huh? Hope you're doing well.

Hey there Lady...Good to see ya! I don't think this whole "thanbey situation" is really anyone in particular taking up for her because I totally agree with your comments..That she can do this all on her own. Its a matter of 90% of us are just tired of this being the topic day after day. We can't really move on here and get to the real reason why we all come here in the first place. I would like to see for the 10% that want her to live on...to email her because we just really don't care anymore.
As long as I've been here, there have been family members here looking for support and information. Not one of the persons who took exception to Thanbey has ever suggested that family members don't have a place here. This is a wonderful forum for all of us who are looking for support and information and to help eachother. Take care, Dave
