Pardon my grammar, mremeet,
It would have been better to have said I have treated the hep c with completely alternative methods or only alternative methods. I'm not sure that "completely treated the hep c with alternative methods" means (mremeet quote) " to most people this implies you've been cured". I don't think most people would even think about it the same as you do.
My original posts were to encourage people to thoroughly do their research and to be responsible for their health.
Are you a moderator of this forum? Are you against alternative treatments? Most of all, do you believe I have crossed over unspoken rules by sharing my experiences and those of others I have been in contact with over the last few decades?
I'm interested in how you have treated the hep c in your body.
Thanks, looking forward to your followup post concerning the colloidal silver. In the meantime, you state "I have only used traditional doctors for blood tests and have completely treated the hep c with alternative methods." That's amazing, again I've never known anyone who has been able to "completely treat" their hepC with alternative methods. I have known many people who have had HCV for over 20-30 years and yet were asymptomatic. They had minimal (or no) fibrosis and were generally fit. Nearly all of them did not take herbs or supplements (although some had tried a few at one time or another). How do you define "completely treating" your hep C? To most people this implies you've been cured, which of course I'm sure you're not suggesting you've accomplished via alternative methods. Right??
I do not think that the “silver” will work, unless you can explain the process and expected reactions.
I will give a statement which might be true for Gen 1 and please stop me when/if I am not correct:
1. People with Gen 1 will accumulate iron and at some point they might/will get iron overload.(one of the points for 1a,b hosts start treatment at earlier stage)
2. People with strong immune system (not strong enough to clear the virus but strong enough to kill liver cells at higher rate) might get bigger damage from HCV but they might respond to treatment better also.
The question is: when you surviving HCV for 30 years would you like to
3. Add another chemical component (silver) which will help you to kill your body cells? (The silver is toxic for you body and along with your iron deposits and HCV it could shorten your life)
I've sent a few emails out and will post again after I hear back.

Really? I've never ever met or personally spoken to anyone (in 10 years) who has made that claim (in regards to colloidal silver). Who do you know (specifically) that have "lowered" their viral load using colloidal silver? What was their VL prior to taking colloidal silver? What was it after taking colloidal silver? How long was the VL tested after that to ensure the VL remained "lowered"? Thanks...
I know I'm going in an opposite direction of what has been posted but, my experience is all I can draw on and the experience of others I have known who have hep c. I have only used traditional doctors for blood tests and have completely treated the hep c with alternative methods. I can only encourage you to thoroughly do your research; consider your health your responsibility even if you do the traditional methods. Your body is your body and you will only get one.
There are many conflicting opinions as to what is bad. Some silver products ARE bad; it depends on the type of silver product. Some people have lowered their PCRs and enzymes using it.
Kombucha is a fermented food just like yogurt and any food has the potential to develop mold but, what do you do when you see mold on food? You throw it out. Have you ever left tea in a cup or glass somewhere and forgot about it a few days? It grows mold, you can see it and you throw it out. I drink Kombucha.
Regarding TCM (traditional chinese medicine) herbs: don't just try this and try that; you'll put your body in a crisis. There are TCM practitioners and their philosophy is go slow and watch and listen to the body. I advise you to see one of them if you want to do TCM. I have taken many herbs over the years.
Educate yourself and be responsible,
