Hepatitis
C Update
December 29, 2004
Dear Lloyd:
(Long letter...) I write you usually after my tests (every six months.)
Well, I went to visit my nurse practitioner about a couple of weeks ago
for my routine gynecological yearly testing and the discussion at the
time of visit warrents writing sooner. I discussed with my nurse the fact
that the numbers, over the last year and a half, (and after the horrible
Hep A and flu shot had caused them to go way way up), were now way way
down. (roughly from over 4,000,000 to 700,00 viral load and continually
normal liver tests) I told her that I was on a program of herbs (Eurocel),
vitamins, organic diet, exercise, and alot of rest. I told her that my
pains had disappeared and that I felt I was on the road to "non-dectected."
She was kind enough to order lab tests for me three months ahead of schedule
because I presented so healthy. She told me that she has seen people with
cancer be rid of it. The body does have certain powers. My liver panel
was completely normal once again. I will have her send the labs. However,
the viral load is still pending. I will have that back in few and I will
let you know. I expect that to be way low.
My doctor is supportive too but it seems that they (doctors and nurses)
just look at the numbers at the time the tests are done. If they are relatively
normal, you are called and infomed such. I had to actually put all the
pieces together for the nurse, asking her to look at all the tests in
relation what was actually happening not to just look at the last test
as a marker. I forced her to see me as a total person and to look at what
I was doing to help myself. I wanted her to see the total patient not
just a lab report. She agreed there is marked improvement and order the
new tests.
(I am followed in a major city in a major hospital where there are prominent
liver specialists who speak all over the world. I also work in the medical
field and have for 22 years. I am very grateful for all that doctors can
do but their ignorance over Hep C leaves me stunned. The reliance on pharmaceuticals
to cure everything from the common cold to Hep C has got to stop and,
getting through to that nurse was something I was proud of. I will push
on, like yourself in hopes of helping someone else.)
I just read on your website that there is a place where I can get these
tests done in the future without going to the doctor. I am going to look
into this. It is difficult when you know you are well to keep going back
to get the tests to see where you are and going through the rigamarol
with these people. I can treat myself now and that is, in part, because
of you and this wonderful website that has literally saved my life. This
nurse was kind but, I would like to be tested when I feel the need and
treat myself accordingly not every six because that is the standard of
care.
On another note, I saw a letter on here whereby someone was looking into
natural interferons. Chorella helps make natural interferon. I was reading
about in a magazine. I take it daily. I would classify it as a green food.
It is in the ProGreens that you sell but I also supplement that with about
3 grams a day. I find I feel really good on this stuff. Also, I read that
zinc will help the thymus gland work better. I take about 15 mg. a day.
The spice tumeric and oregano is very good for the liver as well. I make
these great dandelion root salads loaded with tomatoes, avacados, tumeric,
garlic and oregano with extra virgin olive oil. I eat one every day. And,
I drink down a glass of juice with it loaded with absorbic C. I think
this absorbic C is another great find.
When I have the viral load, I will send it your way. But, I am sure it
will be low. I feel better now than I have in years.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
D C.
