| Lloyd, I've been 
                    on your program now for a month i plan on following it to 
                    the T for 6 months and then go back and get all the blood 
                    work done to see what the numbers are after 6 months. Since 
                    my last e-mail to you i found out my geno-type and got my 
                    viral load. This is 
                    how things looked when i started. 
                     
                      | 3/20 
                        - AST = 310 , ALT = 592 |   
                      | 4/26 
                        - AST = 276 , ALT = 506 |   
                      | GENO 
                        - TYPE = 3 |   
                      | VIRAL 
                        LOAD 
                        = 640,000 |  Of course 
                    the doctor suggest the Peg. treatment but is very supportive 
                    of what i'm doing because he say that my state of mind and 
                    being positive about my choice of treatment is important. The liver 
                    bi-op showed scaring and the beginning of fibrous. The only 
                    problem i have as i mentioned before is some adomanol pain 
                    from time to time. I will let you know how things progress 
                    and welcome any info you have that may help during my treatment. 
                    By the way i'm 44 years old didn't know if there was a age 
                    group that hep.c is showing up in more than others and is 
                    there a way to tell just how long one has had hep.c ? Thanks 
                    again for the help you and your folks have been in getting 
                    me started on the road the being c-free.  T. S. Hi T. S.,
  My average 
                    client is 40 to 60 years old. I do have clients from birth 
                    to 81 years old. 40s is the largest group. I look foreword 
                    to seeing your improvement. Please do not let the doctor ever 
                    talk you into interferon. It can be devastating. I think it 
                    is almost impossible to determin how long one has had the 
                    virus unless there is a target indacator I.E. blood transfusion, 
                    operation or hospital visit, tatoo, dental work, drug use 
                    etc. In good 
                    health,Lloyd
