How 
                      refreshing to find a human who understands the archaic nature 
                      of interferon therapy, now selling to the masses at 5.5 
                      million dollars an ounce.
                    I 
                      frequent a hepatitis c chat room wherein almost all the 
                      participants are on pegintron/ribavarin therapy and for 
                      all practical purposes all are incapacitated by the medication 
                      that they swear by. The interferon combination therapies 
                      are costing these people their jobs, families and normal 
                      lives and creating health issues unrivaled by hcv.
                    I 
                      am referred to as the interferon antichrist, by the way, 
                      as it is my life's goal to express to these people that 
                      their chances of SRV after such major sacrifices are less 
                      than 15%. The math is not mine; it is the math of the drug 
                      manufacturers' own design and is published on the internet 
                      but outlined in such a way that without wading through page 
                      after page of intimidating statistics one cannot actually 
                      see the facts. The common man is not going to wade through 
                      the details and fine print and accept the bleak reality 
                      printed therein.
                    I 
                      am involved in an activist organization that plans to have 
                      its second annual conference in Atlanta Georgia in April 
                      and with your permission I would like to invite you to join 
                      us once the final dates and accommodation details have been 
                      decided.
                    We 
                      need fresh air, so to speak and you da man.
                    Thank 
                      you for your web site and I shall delve wholeheartedly into 
                      this recommended regimen of alternative therapy. First I 
                      shall research it, then I shall try it. WHY NOT?
                     
                      Respectfully yours,
                      Karen M.
