| Hi Lloyd,
I'm the nurse you gave the discount to. Amazingly enough,
until my diagnosis, I knew very little about Hepatitis C except
that Interferon was used. I have no idea how long I've had
Hep C but my lifestyle may have contributed to the normal
liver enzymes - vegan, multiple herbs including milk thistle,
homeopathy for me and my dogs. Of course, I work in a high
risk field. I'd like to tell you that I agree with everything
you have written about healthcare - it doesn't exist. I'm
currently trying to get into another field because you can't
believe how hard it is to work somewhere that you know is
immoral, unethical, and based on greed just because it pays
the bills. That's probably one of the biggest stresses in
my life. Hopefully, not for long.
I've been referred to a liver 'specialist'
but I already know I won't agree to a liver biopsy. What specific
tests do I need to ask for? (Sheesh - and I'm a nurse - only
goes to show you how Hep C isn't something the medical community
wants to get into.)
Another thing, I don't fully understand the herb schedule
except for the Natcell thymus. Should I take the capsules
as directed on the bottle? I don't think I need dandelion
root tea as I make juice and some of the liver cleanser ingredients
are carrots, beets and dandelion roots which I drink every
day. I'll be placing another order next week, pay day (lol,)
and I'd like to know the products I should order that I haven't
already. I know I'll need more Natcell thymus but am unsure
as to the others.
Quick anecdote: I was on the elevator with
one of my peers when she told me that her sister was 'down'
because she found out she had Hep C. I'm not sure how to introduce
her to your site without revealing that I, too, have Hepatitis
C. Just goes to show you that the cases are probably underreported
like all the other lies the pharmaceutical and insurance companies
tell us. It amazes me that people will do ANYTHING their docs
tell them. We are most definitely a 'herd' mentality and that's
just what the powers to be want us to be. Talk about corruption!
Thanks for listening (reading) and doing all the research.
You've certainly lifted my spirits and I'm glad I found your
site. Even though I already knew I'd seek naturopathic advice,
you most definitely shortened the trip for me. Thank you very
much.
Sincerely,
M. C.
Hi M:
The tests you need are:
Liver panel
Ferritin level
Alpha Feto Protein
PCR, viral load, one with an exact number, not a range
Ultra sound of the liver & gallbladder.
That is about it. There are other tests but these are
the ones I do and I think are the most important.
The necessary items I consider most important are:
Milk
thistle 400 mg 3 x day
Lipoic
acid 300 mg 3 x day
Selenium
400 mcg per day from all sources
Dandelion
root tea, 1 quart per day
Natcell
thymus 1 vial every other day or TLM
Properly
prepared aloe 4 oz 3 or more times a day
Vitamin
C to tolerance, ultra Absorbic C is best, 90% into blood,
others, less than 10%
Vitamin
B complex 1, 2 x day
These are the basic items and there is much more you can
do. I do not have your file in front of me so I do not know
everything you are doing. When you have your blood tests if
you fax them to me we can figure out what we need to change.
Thank you for this real world letter, I do appreciate reading
what you have found in the world.
In good health'
Lloyd
