| Hi Lloyd, My doctor's nurse finally called yesterday and my first phlebotomy 
                    is scheduled for tomorrow morning and a standing order for 
                    monthly withdrawals. I don't know how many he wants me to 
                    do before they check the Ferritin level again but my guess 
                    would be 4 or 5. I may find out tomorrow when I check into 
                    day stay, I will ask the attending phlebotomist what the doc's 
                    orders are!  It seems so strange to me that I'm the one who has to tell 
                    my doctor what I need to rid my liver of an overload of iron 
                    and I wouldn't of known that if it hadn't been for you staying 
                    in contact with me with each email I've written with my high 
                    numbers!  Doctor's are really dumb when it comes to Hep C ... all they 
                    want to do is put poison in you and take a piece of your liver 
                    out to examine it ....!!  Thanx Lloyd...I will be in contact to let you know how I'm 
                    feeling! I'm still going to take the IP6, 
                    dandelion 
                    teas, milk 
                    thistle ...etc..etc. I would love to have more energy 
                    again!
 Keeping the Faith,
 E.
