My name is W.  I have been on treatment for 1 full 
                      year.  The first 6 months I was on interferon and the 
                      meds did not bring the virus down.  The Dr. changed 
                      me over to the peginterferon and I have just completed 6 
                      months on that.  The virus load has not been touched.
                    I 
                      am type 1a and my virus 
                      load is greater than ONE MILLION.
                      Currently my Alt is at 26 
                      and the AST is 39.
                      Before I started treatment my AST 
                      was 179 and the ALT was 208. 
                      
                    Diagnosis 
                      as of 2-2-01 per liver, biopsy is as follows:
                      Chronic active Hepatitis with Cirrhosis.
                    I 
                      am looking for alternative medicine, can you help me.
                    W.
