HI LLOYD,

I GOT HEP"C" IN 1974 FROM ANOTHER CARRIER IN THE WILD DAYS OF DRUG EXPERIMENTATION.  I HAD A BRIEF ILLNESS, VERY SICK FOR 30 DAYS, AND GOT BETTER ON MY OWN.  WELL, AFTER 28 YEARS, I GO FOR MY ANNUAL PHYSICAL AND I'M TOLD THAT I HAVE DIABETES TYPE 2 AND MY LIVER ENZYMES ARE ELEVATED.  I'M REFERRED TO A GI DOC AND HE SAYS , A BIOPSY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TELL EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE.

IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE BLOOD WORK DONE, WITH THE RESULTS BEING VIRAL COUNT 850,OOO AND ALT UP SLIGHTLY 40.  I GO TO GET MY BIOPSY ON JUNE 13TH AND HE PUNCTURES MY LUNG AND CLIPS AN ARTERY, AND I GO TO RAISING HELL AND HE PUTS ME DOWN WITH NARCOTICS, AND LETS ME BLEED UNTIL 9:30 pm .  IT STARTED AT 9 AM.

I HAD LOST 6-7 PINTS AND THEY PUT CHEST TUBE IN TO DRAIN.  I WAKE UP AND THEY ARE GIVING ME GLUCOSE AND MY WIFE ASKS THE NURSE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, HE'S A DIABETIC.  MY BLOOD SUGAR JUMPS TO 490.

WELL, WE GET A TRANSFER TO WAKE FOREST BAPTIST, WHICH IS A TEACHING HOSPITAL AND THE BEST IN THIS AREA.  I GET THE PROPER TREATMENT AND GET OUT IN FOUR DAYS, WOW.

THEN AFTER 2 WEEKS MY LUNG COLLAPSES AND THEY SET UP ANOTHER SURGERY TO CLEAN OUT THE BLOOD AND JUNK THAT WAS BUILDING UP CAUSING THE PRESSURE ON THE LUNG,

WOW AGAIN..SO I GET BETTER AFTER FEELING LIKE A DUMMY AND PUNCHING BAG.  I START GETTING BETTER AND EVER SINCE HAD PRESSURE UNDER MY RIBS, LIVER SEEM TO BE SENSITVE.  I GO BACK FOR A CHECK-UP OCT. 31ST AND THEY DO BLOOD WORK AND THE ALT WAS HIGHER UP TO 50.  THEY THEN TOOK ANOTHER LOOK A THE BIOPSY AND SAID STAGE 3 AND SCARRING WAS SIGNIFICANT, BUT NOT DANGEROUS.  THEY RECOMMENDED INTERFURON AND I FREAKED.  I STARTED RESEARCHING AND LEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS STUFF AND I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT I WOULD EVER WANT TO PUT ANY MORE CHEMICALS IN MY BLOOD AND GOT THRU THE HELL AND THE AFTER EFFECTS OF INTERFURON.

THEN I GET SOME INFO FROM A GUY WHO IS IN THE LAST STAGES OF LIFE AND HEP "C", WHO SAID READ THIS STUFF FROM LLOYD WRIGHT'S SITE.

WELL, I DID AND I REFUSED THE INTERFURON TREATMENT JAN 10TH AFTER MY FRIEND SAID THE DOCTORS TOOK HIM OFF OF INTERFURON CAUSE OF LOSS OF HAIR AND HIS THINKING WAS FAILING HIM TERRIBLY, ALSO, MUSCLE MASS WAS IN HALF.  I SAID TO MYSELF "I'M TAKING RESPONSIBILTY FOR MY HEALTH FROM THIS DAY ON."

I AM A ORGANIC VEGAN AND NOW I'M STARTING YOUR PROGRAM OF TREATMENT FULLY SINCE JANUARY 13TH.

HAVING PLACED SEVERAL ORDERS TO GET ALL THE SUPPLEMENTS AND NATCELL THYMUS AND WITH A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS DISEASE, I AM ON THE ROAD TO BETTER HEALTH.  I ALSO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS
TO ASK OF YOU.

ONE IS, DID YOU FEEL SOME INTIAL PRESSURE IN THE LIVER AREA WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS AND ARE THERE ANY OTHER SIGNS THAT I NEED TO BE AWARE OF.  I WORK OUT THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR 1- 1/2 HOURS AND I TAKE A STEAM SHOWER FOR TWENTY - THIRTY MINUTES EVERY OTHER NITE.

IS THERE ANY OTHER ENHANCING ACTIVITIES I CAN DO?  I DRINK STEAM DISTILLED WATER. ARE THERE ANY PROTEIN TYPE FOODS THAT ARE GOOD FOR ME AND HOW MUCH PROTEIN SHOULD I EAT?

I WILL STAY IN TOUCH AND FILL YOU IN ON MY PROGRESS. I 'M GOING BACK TO THE DOCTOR FOR ANOTHER PHYSICAL IN APRIL, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S UP WITH MY TREATMENT, I THINK I'LL JUST GET MY BLOODWORK DONE AND WATCH MY PROGRESS AND KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT UNTIL HE STARTS NOTICING THE RESULTS.

BY THE WAY I'M NOW 47 YEARS OLD.


GOD BLESS !

HAVE A GOOD DAY !!!
