If those treating with SOC now or triple therapy in the future are fortunate enough to SVR the battle between virus verses liver is over.  They may face other hurdles but most assuredly they will not be facing transplant.   I suspect your battle will still be raging even with LDN therapy.

Good Luck in your pursuits.

Yeah, of course a biopsy is the definitive test - even though it is highly variable and possibly inconsistent.

And Trinity, if you want to see studies, just follow my links in my last post. Many people claim there is no science based solely on the fact that they refuse to look at what is there. Follow my links and then investigate it in PubMed and do some research for yourself.

And I would like to make a point regarding a fundamental understanding about science literature, however.

The drug approval process generates the studies that concern the medical community, but those studies are a small subset of the science studies being performed. Just because the system has been designed to ignore all other types of science, does not mean that important research is not being done that support a wide number of valid therapies.

Science means looking at the evidence, not ignoring it.

"My doctor is the best on the planet, I believe. He is a psychiatrist, MD and neurologist. He worked with the famed Dr. Abram Hofer of orthomolecular nutrition fame.He is a psychiatrist, MD and neurologist. He worked with the famed Dr. Abram Hofer of orthomolecular nutrition."

I would not go to a podiatrist for a pap smear even though us ladies refer to the gyno as the toe doctor but you get my drift.

One of my doctors is a brilliant hepatologist in this country with published studies and does take the time for every one of his patients so your statement that all doctors are too busy and not very interested is not true.  It is important to be proactive in the care and treatment of hepc but I would much rather have the support from published studies and a renowned hepatologist than the simple testimony on a technique for lowering viral load which is not accepted or used within the hepc world wide medical community.
I'm keep paddling towards a cure....but no back paddling for me.
