You can refer to the post on March 7th by TA K for one resource on where to purchase. You can also go <A href="http://www.4-sho-saiko-to.com/">here</a>. One of the ligitamate manufacturers is <A href="http://www.honso.com/">Honso</a>.
From what I read so far I would recommend that you make sure your husband has no pulmonary problems and that he is monitored by his doctor when taking due to the low risk of interstitial pneumonia. Also, be careful with taking licorice products/supplements (which seems to have benefit to people with hep c) while taking sho-saiko-to. One of the incredients in Sho-saiko-to is licorice, and licorice contains something called glycyrrhizin which can cause problems for people with high blood pressure.

Misha Cohen and Dr. Robert Gish have written a book on Traditional Chinese Medicine and hepatitis C. It is available at any large bookstore or online.

I treated for 24 wks and cleared and remain clear. I had no money or insurance and got my meds from Schering free of cost. I didn't want to know what dying a slow death of self poisoning-which is what it is-the liver fails to clean the toxins from the blood and so a person slowly poison's himself w/his own body's toxins.(sub her for him, if you're feeling picky)
My liver now functions in a limited capacity so I strickly regulate the amts of toxins I put in my body. That's why I always say to choose your poisons wisely! And negative emotions are the most corrosive of all. And a joint never hurts.
I favor 'natural' and nutrional and herbal and other supplements to handle and sx's that did and do occur. I'm pro tx to kill the virus and tend to shy away from Rx's for sx's and symptoms.
B/ it ain't easy! My biggest ***** right now are trans-fats and modifies corn syrup in our food. So, I now prepare almost all my food where ever I am in the world.
And I love no drinking or doing 'class A's'.
So life can be as good as you want to make it.

Without money or insurnce, who paid the doctor, the lab and the prescriptions for any of the sides?
Thoe blood enhacers, anti-d's and so forth are not free.
Were in a trial that provided for these costs and, if not, how did you you pay for the rest of the costs.
I ask because I get asked all the time and I know of no financial assistance programs unless you are co-infected with HIV.
thanks,

The general medical community and most publications ,it seems, state that most people with hep c , will not die from the infection itself.
The infection stimulate your system , and in many cases this stimulation goes on for 20+ years. What damage does this influx of natural interferons and the release of other substances by our immune system cause in our organs and tissues during such an extended period of time? Nobody really knows.
How long we have to live without TX, no one can really predict with certainty. Tx can damage our system just as our own immunologic response can. Look at people with allergies. It is not the pollen, but their body reactions that sicken them.
It reminds me of someone that had liposuction, developed complications a week later, and did not have a good outcome. Her demise was probably not listed as the result of the procedure since it did not happened shortly after it. And the teenage suicide rate, it is believed that many "accidents" might not be. But they have to choose ONE statistic .
How can anyone tell if the disorder that killed a hep c sufferrer was not aggravated or induced by the chronic infection? The person would not be listed as a liver failure case, but does that really mean hep c didn't influence it? Statistics are a very interesting thing.
The choice to tx or not remains with the person after thoroughly informing her/himself and asking tons of questions.
Good luck to you
