| "We often see a spike in enzyme numbers, 
                              as well as viral load when someone begins a good 
                              nutritional protocol.  This can be alarming 
                              to our doctors if they do not understand what is 
                              taking place, They do not treat HCV in the same 
                              manner, so are unfamiliar with the signs of detoxification, 
                              and can often mis-interpret the signs of healing 
                              for a worsening condition.We must educate our doctor's to the effects of detox 
                              and healing, or fight them tooth and nail through 
                              recovery.  It is always best to have your doctor 
                              as an ally, and not an enemy.  And the better 
                              he/she understands your course of action, the more 
                              likely they will not attempt to interfere, or become 
                              overly alarmed by your early test results.
 We know the liver enzymes continually fluctuate 
                              throughout each day...they are never 100% stable. 
                              They react to the liver processes, which take place 
                              as a result of what is introduced to the liver. A windy day will cause your enzymes to spike.  A 
                              Big Mac will cause them to spike.  Fasting 
                              will cause them to spike.  Increased viral 
                              attack will cause them to spike.  A vodka martini 
                              will cause them to spike.  An argument with 
                              your boss will cause them to spike.  Detoxification 
                              will cause them to spike. When the body is detoxifying on a cellular level, 
                              toxins and virus are flushed from the cells, the 
                              tissues and into the blood stream.  Not only 
                              is the liver going to deal with these once stored 
                              toxins and virus, but will flush them from the liver 
                              tissues as well.  The liver is also being provided 
                              nutrients which cause tissues to regenerate, and 
                              healing to take place. That is a whole lot of activity in a liver which 
                              was in a state of degeneration, and as it fails 
                              allows as little activity as possible - for years 
                              in most our cases" |
