Share My Thank You Story

Dear Lloyd,

Just wanted to say Thank You for the work you do regarding Hepatitis C.

I finished Interferon and Rebotol Treatment in 2002. That was the worst experience I had in my life. I don't reading about those sides affects prepared me for the torture I was about to experience. After my treatment was completed my gastroenterologist did a Hepatitis test to see if I was still positive but he would do a viral load or liver enzymes. He sent me back to my primary care doctor. I was sick as hell. I could barely walk, I was having chest pain, in a 1st degree heart block,, eyes swollen, feet swollen, coughing up thick sticky secretions, blisters on my feet. Weight gain, abdomen swollen and at times my vision was very blurry. I don't even want to mention the terrible head aches I was experiencing. There would also be times when I would get soaking wet and have fevers.

I was sent back to my primary doctor who said she really didn't have any answers for me. I was told by the gastorenterologist's nurse if something new came along they'd call me.

My primary doctor sent me to a cardiologist for my chest pain. He told me to stop taking my blood pressure medicine and scheduled me for a cardiac test a month later. In the meantime I was feeling so damn weak, sick, vomiting, achy. I could hardly walk so one night I went to my computer and typed in God help me with my hepatitis C. You site came up and I stayed up reading about the remedies on your site. I was very skeptical at first, I half heartedly took the combinations.

I felt terrible I didn't think I was going to make it.
I've been trying to be consistent with this the last 3-4 months,
doing pretty good.

I feel so much better I haven't had the terribly coughing and congestion, I'm not coughing up anything now ( I coughed up purulent secretions so bad for months I would start choking and vomit. ) Fever is not there anymore, blister are gone, heart block gone, still achy sometimes. I am able to walk two miles now and not be short of breathe. No cramping and aching in my legs.

I plan to continue this regime at least another year. I would like to know if you know anything that can help the swelling in my right eye. It was swollen about two weeks before I quit Interferon and it has not gone down yet.

I have Hepatitis C genotype 1b.

Oh by the way in spite of all the literature saying if you don't get a response in the 1st few weeks you probably won't get a response. They suggested I might want to try Interferon. I said NO! No! Hell No! I feel like I was paying those doctors to kill me.

Oh by the way my old primary care doctor moved to Germany (I was getting ready to change anyway.) The new doctor I have is open to Alternative Medicine.

Anything you can tell me to fight this beast would be helpful.

Thanks
R.
