I am sorrybut I agree with OHC that website Hepatitiscfree is just creepy. Just think if you can afford the Level 4 plan it will only cost you $1066.95 a month and you will only have to take 44 yes thats right 44 pills and capsules a day. Now on the other hand if you can't afford that you can go with the level one plan of only $129.95 a month and only have to take 8 pills aday. I guess it all depends on how many pills you want to take a day. Or maybe watching a bike run with Pamela will make you feel better. And by the way if Pam is thier spokesperson than why is she in the news saying that she ONLY has 10 years to live? No thank you I think even if I relapse again from tx I will wait for tested researched meds.
OHC move over I will be laying on the floor laughing with you.
I checked out this website mentioned and I don't go for it. I didn't even click in to read anything because I've seen this one before.
I take the approach, and the approach that is proven with high success rates, to listen to the medical professionals and treat my illness with proven drugs that are prescribed and meant for treatment of hepatitis C, and only for hepatitis C.
If it eases your symptoms and helps you feel better, I'm all for herbs and/or supplements. If it makes certain blood level numbers either get better or stay in check, then I understand that as well.
However, I wouldn't take most mixtures of herbs and pills or be able to handle the natural way to treat my hepatitis C. Because it is so very true that there isn't solid research done for any length of time, with proper recording and reporting of natural remedies and treatments.
I don't believe that you can rid youself of hepatitis C with natural treatments. The drugs that are used to rid ourselves of this persistant disease are very strong. They have to be brutal and unpleasant to our system in order to combat our illness.
To say the least, this is a hard fight either way you approach it.
Memory was a bit weak on this one.
Zadaxin is used both as monotherapy and an element of combo therapy against hep b. It is pretty far along in trial in the U.S. gainst hep c and it looks like it won't be used as monotherapy, but in combination with INF.
Amanda has been taking zadaxin for 5 weeks now. She takes it twice a week (injection). I will let you all know how it works in a few weeks. She is taking this along with daily infergen and all of her blood boosters..

i have lloyd wrights book and tried his products including the expensive thymus frozen liquid. he is making a killing off it but says you "wont get well without it." he is very friendly and bends over backwards to be helpful but if you disagree with him he is not friendly at all. his program is expensive and has no proof of working. some products such as milk thistle may be helpful but one size natural program does not fit all. we are vulnerable when we have a chronic disease and easily taken for a ride. some of us have wasted a lot of money.
I am not sure that anyone checked out the article that the hepatitisfree site uses as evidence for their argument an aritle that was written about ten years ago by a respected hepatologist. Dr Davis is the former head of the liver transplant unit at the University of Florida in Gainsville. The aritcle I referenced by him was written about a year and a half ago and starts by stating how much has changed in a short 10 years in treatment and responses to same. He quotes current stats in this article. Hope someone takes the time to read it.
