How was Naomi Judd cured?

[want2live]

Not meaning to threadhog, but I thought someone here may know. When I went to Naomi's site, there were some links to some holistic books, but no clear explanation of exactly what she took to attain SVR.
Anyone know the real deal? And why wouldn't she just come right out and say what she did?

whether or not you have drank or used drugs has not one damn thing to do w/ whether you get a transplant or not at the hospital I worked through. It doesn't even have ant thing to do w/ where you are put on the list. It is determaned by need, not cause. 2/3 of all transplants in the U.S. are Hep C. I drank right up to my liver failure and was scheduled to be put on the list. Thanks be to God, my liver improved enough thru change of life that , for now, I don't need one.      Joni

I'm not trying to say that there is a connection between the two, but I have hypothyriodism/Hashimoto's syndrome (uderactive)

Have any of you dealt with thyroid problems in conjunction with hepc/tx?  I just got a call from the GI nurse that my TSH test is showing hyperthyroid and needs to be tested again tomorrow.  I told her about having chest pain, racing heart, hot flushing, weak legs and arms, headache, sore throat, etc.  She says these could be symptoms of overactive thyroid.  How do I distinguish tx sx from thyroid sx?  What a roller coaster this is.  Yesterday undetectable, today hyperactive thyroid! Anyone else out there dealing with the same?  caruu

Sorry for the break in, but I'm going to do it anyway. Hope you'll all had a Good Christmas and a great New Year (at least the best you could expect on tx). Sure was strange toasting at midnight with a 7up on the rocks. Finally got a new PC. I've been doing good, #30 now. For the first time since I started tx my white blood count was pretty low (sorry didn't get the  #'s, but the nurse called and said if it's still low in a week the doc wants to stop tx, I was only suppose to go 24 (I was geno 2b), but the doc said he would like to try for 48, I think he wanted me to stay around for awhile since he just bought a 2004 Mercedes.My heptimax test showed below 5 at the 24 weeks, I really think I got this Dragon by the Ass now. Seen a few new faces on here and some of the old timers as well. I scrolled down as far as I could to see if I missed any new or updated information, I thought for awhile I was on the Jerry Springer Forum, man what a time for my PC to break. Don't worry I would have been right in the middle of that stuff(lol), The riba rage is truly  a tuff thing to keep under control, I've had more arguments at work in the last 7 months than I did in 20 years there. Sure glad they are putting up with my temper tantrums, wouldn't know what to do without insurance at a time like this. Sorry for all the rambling, but I'm just glad to be back, and don't worry I'll be joining in on the next Jerry Springer Episode. See Ya'll and "Happy side free days" -- Harley Dude
