Hi Lloyd,
                      
Given my blood work that you reviewed, do you think I 
                        should get biopsy done at kaiser so that they can give 
                        me what my virul load and genotype is?  The specialist 
                        said in the class that to be obsessed about ALT 
                        levels and numbers would drive people 
                        crazy because they mean nothing.
                      
They could go up or down for any reason. The only way 
                        Kaiser would do the virus count and genotype identification 
                        is if one considers doing the treatment.
                      
I guess I can just say that I want to do the treatment 
                        and get to the point
                        where I have the information I need and then tell them 
                        that I changed my
                        mind. What do you think?
                      
In good health to you also
                        M.
                      
                      Hi M:
                      
The geno type and the viral load is done from a blood 
                        test.
                        What you are describing is the true nature of Kaiser.
                      
The numbers do mean something.
                        Kaiser is the most scandalous group of them all.
                        They want you to use peg intron and they are going to 
                        do anything they
                        can to force, lure, deceive you into doing it.
                      
Forget telling them anything, they do not care.
                      
It is that simple.
                      
In good health
                        Lloyd
