|  Hi Lloyd, Thanks 
                    for the information on the NatCell shipment. Yes, Bill 
                    is doing better. I sent an email back in February, but had 
                    trouble sending it to you. Anyway, we finally were able to 
                    get the right test taken!!! His 
                    viral count in 1998 was 13,700,000 IU/ml. 
                    In February 2002 it was 7,640,000 IU/ml. 
                    This treatment is definitely working! Of course, we were hoping 
                    the count would be even lower after a year, but are still 
                    extremely pleased with the results. We are 
                    continuing the treatment and just being patient. I felt from 
                    the very beginning that this would work. Unfortunately, I 
                    can't give you a more detailed time frame with the viral count, 
                    because as you know, we had a difficult time trying to get 
                    the medical people to run the right test. But now that we 
                    know what to do, we'll be able to monitor it better. I would 
                    most definitely recommend this treatment to anyone who is 
                    battling Hep C! I still try to keep up with the "conventional" 
                    treatments being offered and to my knowledge, there is nothing 
                    new going on in the medical industry to help fight this. From 
                    what I've heard, the new "Peg" intron treatment is no better 
                    than the Interferon/Rebatron combination therapy. They are 
                    saying that the response rate is better, approx. 30%. Still 
                    not good enough to go through all that and definitely not 
                    a cure. Anyway, 
                    Bill and I are doing fine and each day is a great day since 
                    we know we are closer to curing this virus, thanks to you! Have a 
                    Great DayC. D.
