Why We Removed the Dr. Berkson Thread

Hi,

We took down the thread about Dr. Berkson until we have a chance to check into his background, credentials and treatments.  Given this is a holiday weekend, we won't be able to do that until next week.  

We appreciate your patience and wish each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

Moles who would that be??
Hope you dont believe its people who are resurching and that are emotionally engaged in people treating here
People like Nygirl, mikesimon,,jd,andiamo,child24angel, are they the people you mean?

They have been on this board for years supporting people making efforts by investigating and  posting numerous af articles and studies or by sending a lot of comfort and hugs.
Not to mention their own hardship experiences with treating or kindreds treating.

I wonder if you or they who supect this good people hasn´t been around here enough to even come up with the thought.
If it really are some of this people you think are mulves I most say its out of the question at least it is in my mind and heart.

I know what the meds can do to a persons mind and even if some who are on the meds are suspicious I dare say there is lots and lots of people who thank God for each and everyone I have mentioned above.

Berkson wasn´t a keynote speaker at the NIH thx to andiamo we found that out
we also learned due to Bill1028s telephone call how expensive dr Bs treatment is ( how come you did not informed us about that)?

I most say if the only people writing on the thread would have been those who are pro drB , it would very much had been mostly vage and some missleading info we would have gotten.

Why don´t you thank Andiamo, Bill and mikesimon for what they have done on this thread instead of suspect them of hidden unclean motives.

That said upbeat, I my self are trying to have an open mind and are glad for all efforts that are maid to give us who suffers both from the disease and the meds as much opportunities as possible.

Therefore I will thank you and also Mhudnall for what you have shared with us.
and I don´t for one minute suspect neither of you working for drB.

I that is fortunate enough to have got SVR after two treatments( i´m one year post).   I have have felt so weird until some weeks ago so scary weird  that I almost regretted I took the cure.

My brain came back to me two weeks ago and now I don´t regrett treating anymore instead i feel blessed.

Thx to mhudnall I found LDN been on that for three months started with 4.5g but since a month only taking 3g think that is my dose.
I don´t know if its the LDN that has done the trick or its just time or prayers from two pastors that I have recived.
The meds only cost me 4$ a month and  I really think its harmless.( so cheap due to mixing it my self from naltrexone pills)
I will continue to take it also gonna try ala , R.ala that is which i really belive can benefit me so thx again for putting me on those tracks.

Good luck upbeat i really wish you and everyone else who have chosen not or can not
do soc the very best keep up the good mood!!

Merry Christmas to everyone reading.

I got a lot of messages too - from people who are no longer posting on the board because it is full of this Berkson stuff. I tell them to keep an open mind and a very sharp eye out because eventually someone just might have something to offer that we can really evaluate - aside from the anecdotal evidence provided so far.

You stated   "The thing that has surprised me the most is the amount of personal messages I have received from people who no longer post on this board."

I never thought of asking,  I will make an effort to find out the answer.  I am hoping that Bali05 will check in after his next vist with Dr Berkson.   On a side note here,  has everyone noticed how after this thread was removed it has now grown even bigger.  The thing that has surprised me the most is the amount of personal messages I have received from people who no longer post on this board.  The reason they no loner post is because they saw how my thread was attacked by a few who try to control the board. I myself feel its a loss as these people mostly non  responders or relapsers have a great deal to contribute.

Bali / Upbeat,

I'm also wondering how remission is measured.

Bali - is it your intention to do this treatment as a choice to live with the Hep C rather than do treatment either temporarily or permanently?
