|  Hi I live in Australia and was given a book by Don Colbert with 
                    your web site address in it.  It has been very informative.  
                    While I have only read a few messages on your board, no-one 
                    mentions the geno types.  It has been my experience here 
                    in Australia that is how we clarify the degree of recovery. 
                    I hava tried interferon combination treatmenet although it 
                    severely attack me instead of the virus so they had to take 
                    me off it. Apparently geno type 1b which I have I have 
                    been told is the most agressive.  My liver has entered 
                    into cirrohis sometime in the last 6 months with my liver 
                    too stressed to have anymore biopsies at the moment. While 
                    my ALTs are 200 and rising, 
                    my platlets are dropping to 80's. 
                    I notice that you talk about ALT's in millions, so perhaps 
                    we have a different system here. What are results are you aware of with geno type 1b? Thanks your site is informative and I shall look for your 
                    book here.  Not that I don't want to use your service 
                    but the dollar makes it twice the price plus postage.  MAy God bless you allG.
 
 Hi G: Interferon's do not work, especially 
                    on 1b. They are not the most aggressive, 1a and 1b are just not 
                    received well with interferon's. IU/ml is the measurement the US uses for viral load also 
                    copies.Copies are higher.
 I would read my books and do what I did because people who 
                    do have the best results.  We ship to Australia all the 
                    time.  It is a bit expensive but well worth it. You should have a Ferritin test.  This test measures 
                    the amount of iron in the liver.   If it is high 
                    and it is in 25% of males and 8 % of females, it will all 
                    by itself drive up the AST and ALT and the viral load. A few phlebotomies will lower it and the numbers. You do not need biopsies, a ultra sound and a blood test 
                    is non invasive and can give one the same results. I will attach what I did. I am here for questions. In good healthLloyd
