Newly Diagnosed

[ceefus]

I've recently been 'formally' diagnosed w/ hepc.  I've suspected having it for over 20 years, but not ever being 'pro-doctor', I placed myself on a very regimented supplement and vitamin program at that time.  I'm 50, in good shape and "rarely" get sick.  My question - where is the most comprehensive website to obtain the most accurate, current, forward-thinking and positive information presently available?  As I've told no one (I mean no one, even family), I'm certain I'll be joining in the forum more often.  Thank you for any response.  P.S. - Has anyone heard of high dosage alpha lapoic acid for liver rejuvination?

Copyman - Thank you also for the response.  I'm certain there are many of us who have no person capable of understanding, let alone 'forgiving'.  I'm certainly glad to have found this site.  See ya.

Thank you for the insight.  I will definitely look into Janis.  Amazingly, I'm not depressed about it.  I've always been an athlete and student of 'preventative maintenance' and I firmly believe this can be defeated.  Thanks again.

welcome, you have found the most comprehensive HCV site right here. we have many knowledgeable people here. we even have a hepatitis researcher stop here once in awhile. like the previous poster said janis & friends site is good as well, but mostly for mental support, live chat, etc.   good luck, and see you around
