| Lloyd, Thank you for your effort and research on finding a cure 
                    for hep c.  I was told by my doctor that because of my 
                    blood type genotype 2b that I had a 100% chance of curing. I went on the peg/ribavarin combo therapy 6 months ago and 
                    it was hell.  After running tests they told me that the 
                    treatment didnt work and I had a poor response even though 
                    my viral load went down they said I could stay on it longer 
                    but there was no guarantee that it would stay low after I 
                    got off the treatment. I continued to work which was an effort even getting out 
                    of bed to do everyday task was a battle.  I am ready 
                    to try the remedies you have used to beat this disease.  I 
                    suspect I got the hep c back in 1982 from a blood transfusion 
                    and discovered I had it when I donated blood 2 years ago... 
                    the test have shown that my enzyme levels were close to normal 
                    and my liver biopsy showed very little inflammation... I wanted 
                    to try the treatment to get rid of it so that my liver would 
                    not be more damaged from this disease. I am 47 and I am scared that it is in me and want to do what 
                    I can to get rid of it.  I am hoping that you can quide 
                    me as to what I should be taking and for how long... Thank 
                    you for your support in this silent epidemic... it is a battle.  
                    I decided not to take the combo medicine any more as of two 
                    days ago and I am already feeling better.  They tell 
                    me it will take 3 weeks for this to get out of my system... 
                    I can't wait!  I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely D A W   |
