| Dear Lloyd, I am writing to get some information from 
                    you.  Or let me say your opinion.  
                    In Dec of 2002 I had my first blood work done after being 
                    diagnosed with hep c in oct.  My alt count was 70 and 
                    my heptimax was 723000 and heptimax copies was 1952100.  
                    I really dont know what those numbers mean since he kind of 
                    booted me out when I didn't want treatment.  I just had blood work done on 
                    aug 19, 2003 and my alt count was 47 and my ast was 38 and 
                    I didn't get a heptimax done they just stated positive 
                    for hepatitis c.  I wanted to start on your thymus extract 
                    but wanted to see what my viral load was first.  Do you 
                    think I need to go and take another test so we know what the 
                    difference will be when on the thymus. I hate going to these places all they do 
                    is keep telling me I need treatment...   My dr. said 
                    not to be excited about the normal counts as it's the viral 
                    load that is important, it can get worse while the alt and 
                    ast get better.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am on 
                    alot of your products now and wanted to add the thymus extract. Please help me on this...Thank you,
 Pam S.
 
 Hi Pam: When my program drops your viral load the 
                    doctor is going to say it does not matter, I hear it every 
                    day several times. They will do anything they can to sell you 
                    interferon that does not work and I suspect that this must 
                    be greed because doctors all across the country are doing 
                    it, they are not stupid so they know it does not work, if 
                    someone gets non-detected, they relapse. That is if someone follows them, they usually 
                    are not followed because it makes the drug look better. This whole mess needs to be torn down, like 
                    we did to Iraq.  We really should fix our selves first. Your viral load is very low and is not that 
                    important.  It is important to have your AST and ALT 
                    in reference range.  If it is out of reference range, 
                    it can cause damage. The viral load isn't related to symptoms, 
                    AST or ALT.  The most important item about viral load 
                    is when it is non-detected. You can get a viral load test if you want 
                    to know.  Be sure it is one with an exact number, not 
                    a range test. Try and always get the same test from the 
                    same lab so they can be compared. In good healthLloyd
 Dear Lloyd,
 Thanks 
                    so much for responding to my emails.  
                    I just got my numbers today for my RNA it was 354000 it was 
                    723000 before.  Do you think I still need the 
                    thymus extract? Please advise.  All my numbers are good.  
                    I am feeling great, I am on alot of your products now and 
                    others I buy at health food stores.  Please let me know 
                    what you think. Thanks so much for your help. I am working 
                    hard to get rid of this thing. Sincerely, Pam  
 Hi Pam: I would not stop until it is gone. I do appreciate you keeping me informed abut 
                    your improvement. Thank youLloyd
