any old hep c people?

[bennett_st]

Hi
I always have these little Hep C related questions pop up in my head and just love that I can put them out there and that maybe there is someone who knows the answer.

I would like to know if anyone knows what age the oldest person with Hep C is?  Not some oldie who just got it but someone who might be able to trace it back years and years. Has Hep C always been around?

Im 61 and was diagnosed about 8 years ago, GT 1a.  The doctor thought that I could have had it for 35+ years.  Trust me, being called old doesn't bother me, cuz right now that's how I'm feeling.  Lol

i got hep c when I was hit by a drunk driver in 84 and died on the table but lthey brought me back....had to have a bunch of transfusion blood and that is where i contracted it....I am 56 and when I first found out my ast and als(?) numbers were real high (not sure if those abreviations are right) but i researched it and for me I take milk thistle.....lithium orotate, and I drink combucha mushroom drink.......I know lithium may sound strange but look it up.....and the combucha is probably the best t hing I have ever found and it is for everything....I used to get a real bad cold every single year right around january...after starting this combucha drink I havent had a cold since I was 41 and continue not to get them...also these three things have brought my numbers t he AST and the other on both to 0 thats right 0 i coulnt even believe it but I see a doctor on a regular basis because I am on disability.(thats how i first found out too) and he gives me liver function t est every 6 months I tried almost every possible thing I could over 11 years since I first found out and those three things work for me....I would really like to send this info out and maybe it can help others....like I say just go and research those three things and read about them and then t ry them especially the combucha drink.....its also called the manchurian mushroom  where t his comes from the people there have never had cancer...that was enough for me to first start it.......see ya  kevin

I am 68 and I have HCV since 1961.

It has been discovered in frozen plasma from world War II serviceman, so it has been around for a while.
