Cool I need help!!!

Hi guys,

I haven't posted since last year and it has been crazy and hetic!

I was doing the treatment to treat my hepititas c but i have stopped because it started making me ill and i started having asthma and other symptoms that i never had before and was always tired and my body was always hurting. I was having coughing fits, and vomiting especially when i stop taking the meds.

I do not want to go back on the meds so Iam wondering what natural remedies i could use to care for my hepittas at this point because I refuse to go back to the treatments because it seems to have made me more tired and sick than it helped me.

I would appreciate any kind of info you can give me at this point!

Re: I need help!!!

Well, today the only way how to cure HepC is interferon therapy.
If you have problems with this treatment, you can try alternatives - but keep in mind, that the alternatives do not kill the virus. You will live with the HepC, BUT the alternatives can help heal your liver.

I personaly think, that good alternatives are chineese medicine, and Milk Thistle.

Re: I need help!!!

My fiance tried the interferon years ago and was intolerant to it. He contacted a Dr. Zhang in NY, had a phone consultation with him. He started him on a herbal protocol sometime in October of last year. His viral count was 12 million. When he had his bloods drawn earlier this month they were down to 4 million. He doesn't get the aches and pains as much and has been feeling much better. It's true they say the herbs don't destroy the HCV, but living the way he was wasn't much of a life. Hopefully you can find something to bring a quality of life to yourself. Best of luck.

Re: I need help!!!

Please listen to me. I am 60 years old. Had Hep C since I was 20. I almost die in a research hospital before they know what Hepatitis C was. Hep C almost killed me when I was 20. My body organs had begun to shut down and I was 80 pounds from my normal 125. It took 3 years to feel well again. Today I am 60 and well. All these years I have lived a normal life due to the smart doctors at the research hospital. Absolutely no foriegn substances in my body is what the doctors perscribed for the rest of my life. So why would doctors today perscribe poison treatment to the liver trying to kill the virus? I lived at the hospital for one year, and believe me, I learned alot about this monster virus.
Sounds to me like the treatment wore down your immune system. You need to start building your immune system and each niight sleep untill your body wakes on it's own, (not to an alarm clock) Sleep is so important to healing the liver. When you awake on your own, this is your body telling you it's had enough rest. However, with Hep C you may still feel tired. This will get better but it takes time. Not just days, but months. Healing the liver is a slow process, so slow you may not recognize when you are actually better until one day you realize you are doing more than you did before. Here is what I take for more than 40 years that has kept me well along with the proper rest each and everyday. A good multible vitamin without Iron twice a day, Milk Thistle, Nu-Liver chinese formula, Milk Thistle, Folic Acid, Clear Lung Herbs, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, B-12 (twice a day) Alfa-Lopic acid, and there are a few others, but it is in a formula from a chinese doctor. Cats Claw once a week will detox intestons. Believe me you must build your body back up to fight the virus. Sounds to me like your immunse system is too weak to fight the treatment (poison) and the virus too. The treatment is NOT a cure. Even if you got through it, most likely the virus will return. Any doctor that is truthful or knows what he is talking about would tell you the treatment is not a cure. It only hides the virus for a time if at all. I have some of the best doctors from the one of the best known research institutions, and all say treatment is not a cure. They do not BS me. City doctors just don't know. The city doctors Hepatitic C is not their main study. I wish people would listen to me. I've been through every type episode a Hepatitis C victim could go through, except Treament. There is no way a doctor could get me to do treatment even if I was 20 again. It doesn't take much to realize the treatment is not a cure. Just read about all those who relapse after going through hell with hopeful treatment. Those that say they are cured, I'd like to hear what they have to say in a year from now. Until they find an actual cure, and learn more about the unknown science, I say it is wiser to build the body functions before you tear it down. Those who claim they are cured, I hope they are right. But I do not believe it is the poison treatment that cured them. Maybe they never had hep C to begin with, or maybe God chose them to be well. As many do not know, THERE IS NO ONE TEST TO INCONCLUSIVELY DIAGNOSE THE AGENT OF HEPATITIS C, only a series of test to presume it is Hep C., AND the presumtion is not always correct.

Re: I need help!!!

Oh my goodness. I know people who have cleared the virus and stayed that way going on 14 years now. You might not call it a cure but it sure means somethink good.
