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
