Hepatitis Healing Power Of Blueberry Leaves
ScienceDaily (Aug. 10, 2009) — A chemical found in blueberry leaves has shown a strong effect in blocking the replication of the Hepatitis C virus, opening up a new avenue for treating chronic HCV infections, which affect 200 million people worldwide and can eventually lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hmmm. Apparently you can't say "suckerborn @ everyminute . com". Is this censored because it has "suck" in it, or because it looks like an e-mail address?
I see the blueberry patch has continued to grow! Now, mushrooms I really like! There’s Nothing like a big rib-eye steak with sautéed mushrooms.
I think sticking with logic and peer-reviewed studies and opinions from recognized experts are the reasonable thing. I am always distrustful of someone who is selling something and whose main claims for validity are testimonials. I seem them every night on TV. Seems like those things come and go every once in a while and never prove successful.
Remember when there was a claim (in the 70's I think) that some magnetic device on your car's carbeurator would quadruple the gas mileage? Supposedly these were not widely marketed because it was quashed by the by big car makers in collusion with the oil industry, but you can get one if you send $199.54 right now to PO Box 10 c/o HuckstersRus in New Jersey!
This old con came back a few years ago updated to be a "holographic device" that used special "frequencies technology" (I kid you not) on a sticker that you could apply to the gas tank of your vehicle. This would supposedly transform the fuel to a state that would burn more efficiently in the engine and, guess what, qhadruple your gas mileage. Only $399 at ***@****! These guys had lots of testamonials and were even targeting small commercial trucking outfits. The the best part is that I had one of these trucking managers contact me for advice on the technology!
I told him if this was possible, every car would come with one of these stickers installed already.
But I digress.... If any of the herbal products were nearly as successful as claimed, don't you think that big pharma with all their greed, PhD's and conniving lawyers, would find a way to develop a concoction (yes, I know you cannot patent blueberry leaves) that they could patent and sell? Think about it.

Right,i did not say i hated anyone one or anything....this is a free country and i can repeat and say my opions on what i think is going on in the commericial food industry and the drug indusrty...its juts you dont belive it and it bothers you,well im sorry....this is not against any rules or laws in this site or this country
For the sake of brevity, I was summarizing one of your many, many stated postions on the subject. I did not mean to imply that you said this exactly -- if I wanted to suggest that, I would have used quotation marks. Those symbolize a direct quote. I trust you're famliar, because you used them on the word "hate". Maybe you picked this up in the books you were telling FLguy about?
Here's one of your posts that seems to support the summarized position (note the quotes):
"FDA is in with big pharma and the commericial food industry...all they care about is money...last thing on there minds is your health...and if ya dont see that ...YOU ARE BLIND."

and now you put derogoty words in my mouth by saying i' "hate" big pharma...i never said i hated anybody or any thing...this to me i a form of abuse towards me,i said i" dont like" to take prescription drugs for any small problem,THE BIG problems yes.but...i take natural cures. for small ones..maybe you should be careful of what you sayi said...isnt this against MED HELPS RULES?....anyway...you can insult me all you want...i am not going to respond to anyone your insults me ever gain and will ignore all who do
"tapwater is not good for the liver"
"tapwater is not good for the liver"
You try to make me look bad by saying i went "bonkers" someone..LOL,, i raised my voice to him,this was it,and i brought him and his wfe flowers fo gods sake,you make it sound like i assulted the fella,and as for losing my job,it was not my fault because they admitted to the wrongful dismissal and i got a big settlement ,out of court,they fied me because they knew something was wrong with my health and i did gain muscle while on TX,and i dont really care if you dont belive all i just said...you say the list goes on an on and on...LOL..yu made my day

Goof sez “some consistency and logic would be welcome to weary ears”.
I’d like to add with emphasis on logic. I don’t object to, say, ‘mhudnal’s’ view on Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM); he presents with a clear and somewhat logical path. This is despite my personal disagreements with those methods.
It is irresponsible to make statements all the time without backing them up with citations. Citations from a credible source can help your cause, but ones from authors that sell cr@p, or have other similar interests only serve to hurt your position. A good suggestion is to stick to articles from reputable journals that have been peer reviewed. I you don’t understand this concept, others will be happy to help if you ask.

Suggest we amend that:
For you, Rocker, it's "do as I say [this hour], not as I do".
C'mon Rocker - take a look at the positions you take - they're often 180 degrees apart from themselves, and yet both extremes are unwavering in their convictions.
You hate pharma, but swear by it and will even participate in their (misguided by your logic) trials.
You got ripped and beefy on tx (hard to comprehend because you were so ripped and beefy before) and yet you simutaneously gained 20 unwanted pounds.
You had no symptoms on tx - but went bonkers on the doorman and also lost your job.
Governmental programs are scams that threaten the very fabric of society - yet you're lined up slopping from the trough.
The list goes on and on. Sure, you have every right to rant and rave as long as people will listen (and Lord knows you plan on exercising it), but as the sage from the backwater points out, some consistency and logic would be welcome to weary ears.

I have to God given right to voice my opinion of what i put in my body to heal me and that i do not like most drugs big pharma marets or sells,i did not say all the drugs them sell because some big pharma drugs are fine and needed. you keep bringing i have strong opinions on UFO `S i have never talked about the topic in my life here, is it my profile picture you dont like?...and you say "i give you the idea" from my posts my life style is brought to you by a 'criminally-operated government' . LOL...WOW...you are funny.
LOOK...i a heath nut and i dont like most of big pharma drugs....is this a crime?

In a thread above, the reference article included "To do so will ultimately spell the destruction of Big Pharma and the outdated, corrupt and criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that these criminally-operated governments are trying to protect."
When you post articles of that nature, and your many follow ups to them, you are attmepting to convince people that your belief is in those artices. Like "Don't doubt me" or "wake up".
Over just the past few months we've read you extolling the great virtues of Ativan (developed by Wyeth, now Pfizer - The BIGGEST of big pharma) and Boceprevir, Pegasys and ribabvirin (also product of big phama). But your posts, as in this thread, take swipes at big pharma. It appears that big pharma is going to be successful in saving your hcv-infected bacon.
I know that people have strong opinions of such topics (i.e. pharma, alternative meds, natural sources, global warming, UFO's etc) but those with the most convincing positions are usually those who are consistent in approach, philosophy and thought. You manage to avoid such consistency when possible.
For you, Rocker, it's "do as I say, not as I do".
And by the way, from your recent posts you give the idea that your current lifestyle is brought to you by a 'criminally-operated government' .
I had blueberry pie last night in whatever all-night diner I ate in when arriving in Atlanta late last night. Like the futility, I think it went right to my waist.
Rocker: I don't know what to say. I hope you are right and my doctor puts me on 5 servings of blueberry pie BID.

Often regarded as the premiere anti-aging fruit, nutritionists have long known that blueberries contain potent antioxidants. Discover why new research gives those with Hepatitis C reason to fully comprehend the value of blueberries.
by Nicole Cutler, L.Ac.
A new study has recently emerged that puts blueberries in the spotlight. According to Japanese researchers, blueberries are nature's answer to the Hepatitis C virus. For the estimated 200 million people living with chronic Hepatitis C worldwide, the claim surrounding this popular little blue fruit is hard to believe. To benefit from this discovery, make sure you know exactly what this study demonstrated, which part of the blueberry is most beneficial and realize what else contains blueberry's Hepatitis C-fighting compound.

I must say that I am at a loss here... I don't see any of the posts having anything to do with blueberry leaves.
So what's up with the news about blueberry leaves? Does anyone know more about it?
If it's true, couldn't it be a good way to get ones VL down prior to tx?

But then again, I need exercise!
Well, watch the futility at least - it goes straight to your hips.

I don't need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I need anything at all.
No! Don't think I'll need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall
Outside the Wall (Waters) 1:42
All alone, or in two's,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.

I see a new Religion on the Horizon. The main highlight can be called “Rocker’s Wall.” 1. Locate the Western Wall of your house.

But why would the government and the pharmaceutical industry conspire to be so evil?
"It's a desperate effort to destroy this industry that's threatening the profits and viability of conventional medicine. Natural medicine works so well — and is becoming so widely used — that both the Canadian and American governments have decided to 'nuke' the industries by passing new laws that effectively criminalize anyone selling such products. They simply cannot tolerate allowing consumers to have continued access to natural products. To do so will ultimately spell the destruction of Big Pharma and the outdated, corrupt and criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that these criminally-operated governments are trying to protect."
