Dear Lloyd,
                      
                      I first contacted you almost three years ago about my husband 
                      who had been diagnosed with HCV. 
                      Since then he did decide to go on PEG Interferon and Ribitrol 
                      that was in 2002.  Forty eight weeks later and of course 
                      you were right it didn't work!   It did 
                      nothing but destroy our lives to the point my husband has 
                      been out of work since. He is all natural now and still 
                      trying to get this poison out of his system! 
                      
                      My question to you is, everyone 
                      we know who has HCV (and the list is growing) all have this 
                      pain in the upper left quandrent right under the left ribcage. 
                      It does not seem to be a gender problem because I'm 
                      finding male and female have the same pain. Do you possibly 
                      know what this could be?
                      
                      Your help is greatly appreciated!
                      
                      Thank You!
                      S. Y.
                    
                    
                    Hi S. Y.:
                    The base ball under the rib syndrome 
                      as it is called is a direct result of liver inflammation. 
                        My clients are relieved of this in a 
                      few weeks for the most part.
                    Less often this is from the gallbladder.  A ultra 
                      sound will show if it is from the gallbladder.
                    After peg intron my success rate is lower than after Intron 
                      A.  Much more time is needed for organs to heal, for 
                      the body to recover from the devastating side effects of 
                      peg intron.

                    There is more he can and should do, but this is a minimum 
                      for someone in his predicament.
                    In good health
