[YEA] 09/14/2006: Matt from Chiang Mai, Thailand writes: "I have suffered from Hep C for about twelve years now. My symptoms have been fairly mild, apart from some depression, low energy, and an ache in my liver region. I have been reading about hydrogen peroxide on the site and have read some papers online about ozone therapy in killing viruses. After reading the advice that Ted gave about using hydrogen perioxide for hep c I thought I would give it a try myself. The results were amazing - almost immeditately the pain in my side (which has been fairly constant for years now) went away and my energy levels went through the roof. It was only by feeling so good so suddenly that I realised how truly bad I had been feeling for years. I am taking about 10 drops of 3% solution three times a day (I haven't been able to find 35% food grade - I am in Chiang Mai, Thailand, so, Ted, if you know where to get it that would be very helpful - I know that the 3% has a small amount of stuff in it that is pretty toxic to the liver - however, it will have to do for now). I would like to do some ozone therapy now and would love some advice on that (eg. where and how) if at all possible. Thank you. This is the first thing that I have tried that really has improved how I feel and given me so real hope."

I'd like to wish everyone here that have hep, God Bless you, and I hope that God shows you the cure for you.I have been told by my Doctor that I too have Hep-C and I am unemployeed right now, and have very little money. I was planning to go back to school and have actually enrolled already. I read every post on this site, and am leaving it now a little confused. Some people say the H2O2 works, some say it doesn't. Some say the "Colloidal Silver" will work miricles, others say it turns your eyes black and all kinds of bad stuff! Now please understand, I'm not afraid to die, but had just met someone for the first time since my first love, makes me feel like a kid and want to be around. I guess that means I'm in love. So I guess I'm being tested, because I would like to be around a bit longer to see her. It even makes me a little sad. I would have perfered to never met if this is going to be a burden like I guess it might.
I would like to have the remedies that are here put in a way that the laymen like myself can prepair, and creat the dose needed. So as not to make a mistake. I don't even know how I contracted this. I get tested every yr or two, just to be sure of my health for all STD's. This is not supose to be a sexually transmitted, but by getting Tattoo's, or intervienus drug use. Which I do not. So I'm even a little confused how I got this. I have more tests to run this coming Monday. If someone could tell me a plan, and go step by step how to, and how much, and even explain where to get some of these things, I would really be greatful. Thanks"
07/24/2011: Bill from San Fernando, La Union replies: "Hi David... There are several successful protocols for Hep C that seem to work quite well:BHT(Butylated Hydroxytoluene)
This regimen works by dissolving the outer lipid coat of the Hep C virus cell wall, completely de-cloaking the Hep C virus so it can be attacked and removed by white blood cells. This regimen works for both Hep B and Hep C. The dose is 200 - 500 mgs per day and you should get a significant reduction of you viral load within a month. No side-effects at such a low dose. Dr Denham Harman, the Nobel prizewinner for his discovery of antioxidant removal of free-radicals(1962), regarded BHT as a super-antioxidant for the body.
Ted's Hep C Remedy
This effective and quick remedy involves taking lysine, aspirin, vitamin c and zinc for only a short period of 4 days and is shown here at this link:
http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/hep_c.html#TED
Dr Berkson's Hep C Protocol
You can also investigate Dr Burton's Hepatitis and liver healing remedy -- which uses Selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Milk Thistle plus various other supplements and antioxidants. Low Dose Naltrexone is also used in his therapies now:
It was a characteristic of Dr Burton's Hep C remedy that his remedy also helped to heal problems like cirrhosis and pancreatic cancer as well.

A conservative triple antioxidant approach to the treatment of hepatitis C. Combination of alpha lipoic acid (thioctic acid), silymarin, and selenium: three case histories.Berkson BM.
Integrative Medical Center of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, USA. Burt@zianet. Com
BACKGROUND: There has been an increase in the number of adults seeking liver transplantation for hepatitis C in the last few years and the count is going up rapidly. There is no reliable and effective therapy for chronic hepatitis C since interferon and antivirals work no more than 30% of the time, and liver transplant surgery is uncertain and tentative over the long run. This is because, ultimately, residual hepatitis C viremia infects the new liver. Furthermore, liver transplantation can be painful, disabling and extremely costly.
TREATMENT PROGRAM: The author describes a low cost and efficacious treatment program in 3 patients with cirrhosis, portal hypertension and esophageal varices secondary to chronic hepatitis C infection. This effective and conservative regimen combines 3 potent antioxidants (alpha-lipoic acid [thioctic acid], silymarin, and selenium) that possess antiviral, free radical quenching and immune boosting qualities.
CONCLUSION: There are no remarkably effective treatments for chronic hepatitis C in general use. Interferon and antivirals have less than a 30% response rate and because of the residual viremia, a newly transplanted liver usually becomes infected again. The triple antioxidant combination of alpha-lipoic acid, silymarin and selenium was chosen for a conservative treatment of hepatitis C because these substances protect the liver from free radical damage, increase the levels of other fundamental antioxidants, and interfere with viral proliferation. The 3 patients presented in this paper followed the triple antioxidant program and recovered quickly and their laboratory values remarkably improved. Furthermore, liver transplantation was avoided and the patients are back at work, carrying out their normal activities, and feeling healthy. The author offers a more conservative approach to the treatment of hepatitis C, that is exceedingly less expensive. One year of the triple antioxidant therapy described in this paper costs less than $2, 000, as compared to mor than $300, 000 a year for liver transplant surgery. It appears reasonable, that prior to liver transplant surgery evaluation, or during the transplant evaluation process, the conservative triple antioxidant treatment approach should be considered. If these is a significant betterment in the patient's condition, liver transplant surgery may be avoided.
PMID: 10554539 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]More on Berkson's Hep C protocol and dosages can be found here:
http://www.healthyhepper.com/berksonclinicalstudy.htm
You must also therefore consider that you will have to heal your damaged liver after you have removed the Hep C. Besides the Berkson Protocol, the best remedies for this are:
Chanca Piedra
This herbs remarkable healing properties are given here together with the research:
http://www.rain-tree.com/chanca.htm
Recent research has also found that CP protects hepatocytes(liver worker cells) so CP acts to protect the liver. CP also interferes with Hep B virus -- inhibiting the Reverse Transcriptase enzyme. In plain language that means that CP stops the HBV reproducing itself. CP is also effective against Hep C and is highly protective towards the liver. Currently being researched for its effectiveness against both HIV/AIDS and Cancer. A powerful herb that is completely safe to take. Dosage: 1000 mgs(capsule) twice a day at lunch and dinner.
Milk Thistle
Also highly hepatoprotective. Dosage: 1000 mgs twice a day
Some ideas for you which you can research for yourself. The current medical thinking on Hep C is so far behind the actual independent medical research, which is probably because the Merck Manual only ever gets updated once every 30 years or so.... Just kidding!! But I think we all know why. Most of the remedies listed here are either unpatentable base chemicals, food, herbs or their patents have run out. So the driug corporations aren't interested in promoting them -- no profit."

LINGZHI MUSHROOM
11/16/2011: Wendy from London, England writes: "Hi, I was diagnosed with Hep C a couple of months ago. I started to feel dizzy, nauseous and had no energy at all. They ran lots of tests on me and found nothing, it was my idea to have my liver tested as I have partied somewhat over the years! They suggested I go for the Interferon treatment, (I have a friend who did this and it made her feel sicker than before although it did cure her)
I decided to ask my Chinese medicine doctor what to do and she recommended Lingzhi mushroom. Within 2 days the symptoms had gone and I felt like a new person. I was told that eventually the virus would become inactive, so I'll give it a couple of months and go for a re-test.
I have also changed my diet, no fried food, no sugar (only natural sugar cane, no spicy food, no cold food or drinks (tepid), no alcohol and sleep on the back so as to give the liver a rest. Hope I have been of some help. God bless you. Wendy"

In the early 1980's I read an article about Milk Thistle from an herb company outside of NYC and it sounded like what I needed. There weren't a lot of herb stores around then so I ordered from them. Since then I have taken many different combination of herbs but mainly milk thistle. I now take a combination of milk thistle/fringe tree, Turmeric & cayenne pepper. The first two in equal doses and the pepper in small dose. I capsule my own alternative medications and mix a teaspoon of the first three and 1/2 a teaspoon of the third. Mix them very well and get a cheap capsule machine on the internet along with 00 capsules. I had a biopsy 4 years ago-I am still at stage one and have by no means maintained a healthy lifestyle until the past few years. I hope it helps.

RepliesEC: Hi Laurie,
Thanks for bringing the broken link to our attention. Fixed!
08/11/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Laurie... Here is an entry by Ted from Bangkok regarding a cure for Hep C :
"This is just my experience of a Hepatitis C that was cured. It happened about 23 years ago during a war in Angola, when one of young soldier got a tick bite which caused him to get the hepatitis C. Because the soldier didn't take baths during war, the tick made it's way to his armpits and spread the hepatitis C that way. Upon checking with his doctor, the doctor said that if you got black or dark urine, you got Hepatitis C. So the soldier went on to check his urine, and it turns out he got it when his pee became black. The doctor said nothing can be done about to cure it.
23 years later the same soldier, who is now a businessman that had more than 1/2 of his life with a Hep C, came to see me. Apparently the attacks became more severe and more frequent. For example, last year it was an attack every 3 or 4 months, then just this year the attack was almost every month and the severity was worse. Eyes were yellow, energy level low, painful areas in liver, lymph node congestion causing pain.
The most important remedy that was used was a 55 minute 4 dose, for 4 days, using both the lysine and aspirin taken together, but before taking that vitamin C ascorbic acid was used (not perfect, I prefer sodium ascorbate).
The dose were continued for 4 days 4 dose each, and the attacks and symptoms disappeared. The HEP C viruses have two major weaknesses: mainly lysine and aspirin.
However, zinc was given but since most people have low tolerance of zinc if taken extended period of time. I just limit the zinc acetate to just 50 mg a day for 2 days.
To date he has not has any episode of Hep C at all after this remedy and his symptons are completely gone, including hallucinations, shaking hands, lack of energy, pain in the right abdominal area, fever and chills. Just to make sure, it's possible to take lysine 1200 mg twice a day as a maintenance dose, however, the person I talked to didn't take any maintenance dose at all.
The reason why he talked to me about his condition was I cured maybe 80% his mother of stroke, which left half of her body paralyzed, after no improvement for 6 months with conventional hospital treatment. More on that later. There are other small details in the remedy, but for Hep C, this is the most important remedy I have mentioned is just the vitamin C, lysine, aspirin and zinc. A lesson to be learn is we can get a virus from a tick bites.
The fact that viruses dies in ticks or mosquitoes may not entirely be true. Mosquitoes spreads the Chikungunya viruses too. Insects are considered vectors in spread of many viruses. "
See this link: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/hep_c.html#TED
To clarify, the dosages for Ted's cure will be:
500 mgs Aspirin(just ordinary Acetylsalicylic Acid completely dissolved in half glass of water)
1000 mgs Lysine
1000 mgs Vitamin C(Sodium Ascorbate form)
50 mgs Zinc(taken twice only)
The Lysine/Aspirin/Vitamin C remedy is taken 4 times a day at 55 minute intervals. The Zinc is taken for two days only. This remedy is taken, as a whole, for four days only. Thereafter, take 1200 mgs twice a day as a maintenance dose.
It would also be advisable to take herbs such as Milk Thistle, Chanca Piedra, Cat's Claw or Dandelion in order to effect repair and to help regenerate the liver as well as to further protect the blood and gut. Olive leaf is also a strong and well respected antiviral and anti-bacterial and is worth taking."
[NAY] 05/07/2011: Catpleasant from Reno, Nv Usa replies: "Having a dangerously low platelet count (which can cause internal bleeding since my blood doesn't clot easily) is the only reason I'm adding this note.Aspirin is a natural blood thinner - which can stop the blood from clotting.
Be sure that you know what your platelet count is and what it should be before you start taking aspirin. Aspirin can cause me to bleed to death internally.
Hep C at any stage starts to effect your platelet count. If you've had the chemo-therapy treatments for Hep C, you may have a lower platelet count. It's been a couple of years since it was drawn out as a picture so I don't remember all of it. The plateletts get trapped in the spleen, instead of being released into the blood stream --
Another "thought" motrin, ibuprophen, and tylenol are all metabolised by the liver and are extrememly hard on the liver.

OZONE THERAPY

[YEA] 10/11/2011: Steve from Cameron, Wi writes: "I just visted this site for the first time while doing a search on Ozone cure rate with Hep-C. I was diagnosed with Hep-C in 2008. Since then I have tried mulitple therapies, herbs, supplements, etc. None of the therapies produced any type of cure, just treatment. The virus has been kept in check, but I was looking for a cure not a treatment. I have not and will not take the treatment the medical doctors suggest simply because the rate of cure is so low and the side effects are horrible and lasting.
In Sept. 2011 I began treating myself with 1% Ozonated saline solution injection @ 50CC daily. All my liver enzymes have returned to normal with the exception of one which is slightly elevated. These results came in just 3 weeks on ozone. My viral count went extremely high, however this is NOT all active virus as the test for viral count records both inactive and active viruses. What I am saying is that as the 03 travels through your blood and organs, it attacks the cells that are oxygen depleted and give home to the HIV virus. The 03 blows apart the cells and destroys the virus protective enzymes which enters into your blood as inactive virus. This is why your viral count goes up, the ozone is destroying the virus. It is very important what you eat and drink. Your body must expel these toxins. Ozone does build up your immune system and floods your body and cells with oxygen thus allowing your natural defense system to do what it was meant to do. It is also equally important to take supplements to assist your liver in rebuilding cells. Before I went to ozone saline, I tried h202 which was working ok, but not as well as ozone.Viruses and bacteria can not live in an oxygen environment.

From the feed back available at this time: For best results for average size adults take one 350mg capsule of BHT TWICE a day with a gulp of water on an EMPTY stomach. If you experience any negative side effects lower the dosage to one capsule per day. It will still work and work well at the lower dosage but will be likely to take longer [ a few months at lower dosages and a few weeks at the higher dosages ].I always need to remind everyone that it takes at least 2 years of daily dosing with BHT to achieve a true cure. Simply achieving a NO VIRUS DETECTED result does NOT mean your liver is no longer infected. Your liver will still be full of infected cells. But if you keep taking the BHT on a daily basis: Eventually a true CURE is achieved because the liver completely renews itself about every year or so....Oscar"

But I have had severe, even crippling Neuropathy off and on in these last 4 years. The symptoms you describe : numbness, tingling, burning, and coldness of hands and feet are Neuropathy. They are also some of the classic symptoms of B-12 deficiency. B-12 deficiency can occur so easily for so many reasons and liver trouble is one of them. I suggest moving quickly to resolve this as it can quickly worsen. If you choose tests, such as serum B12, homocysteine, methylmalonic acid, (urine or serum) ; they may or may not be conclusive of this. For instance, a serum value of B12 between 200-500 pg/ml is considered to be normal. Many people much more expert than me feel strongly that these levels are far too low, particularly when there are neurological symptoms. Methylcobalamin is the preferred form of B12 for neuropathy. Subcutaneous injections are recommended. I have had astonishingly good results with sublingual methylcobalamin, although I had to learn that I must have it every day. I take a 5000 mcg. Lozenge.

When I take any kind of anti-virals or anti-oxidents such as olive leaf, milk thistle, IP-6, Vitamin C, Reishi mushrooms, etc. my hands and feet get extremely cold and my pulse goes from 60 to 80 or 90 beats a minute. In the winter, the palms of my hands and my feet get extremely cold. In the summer, my hands and feet are numb and tingling and are starting to get cold even in the warm weather. Recently my feet and legs twitch and feel like there are needles sticking in them. Sometimes my palms and feet burn tremendously, especially after I eat. I have been to serveral doctors including liver doctors who have no idea what I am talking about. I believe this may be a neuropathy caused by hepititis C. I have not met a doctor who is the least bit sympathetic to my problems. They just want me to go on interferon. Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
Thanks you very much for reading..."

Too weak to stand up.... Is this treatment appropriate at this stage??? are there any side effects on it that can make the condition worse???"
Replies06/25/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, U.s.a. replies: "I posted about BHT earlier in this thread as a treatment for hepatitis-C. I think BHT is as safe a treatment there is in the small dosages I have discussed: 200mg of BHT per day on an empty stomach with water worked for me and fast. I was symptum free and tested negative with the hep-C RNA test in about 3 to 4 weeks. Now my liver still had infected cells, but no virus was showing up in my blood tests. From what you have stated you are sicker than I was though I was quite ill.BHT has been evaluated extensively by the World Health Organization as to toxicity. A report published by them discusses all this and is a compilation of over 50 studies that were done over a long period of time. I am new to this forum and am not sure if I can link to that study or not. I will try to. If I remember correctly they state that BHT is non-toxic to the liver at 25mg per kilogram of body weight per day. A 110 pound person wieghs 50 kilograms and 50x25=1, 250mg. Though some others consider that a safe dosage for HEALTHY people, I do not, and you are not a healthy person.
I weighed and still weigh about 180 pounds. I successfully treated my hepatitis-C infection using only 200mg per day of BHT with water on an empty stomach. I do not know of a safer more effective treatment than BHT taken in the small doses I have discussed. It is usually sold in 350mg capsules but you can open the capsules up and split that in half. Just pour about half of the capsule out and put the capsule back together. I also recommend you simply lick your finger and dab it on the BHT crystals and lick your finger to see if you have any ill effect as an added safety precaution. Most people have no ill effects using BHT in the small dosages I have discussed. I never had any ill effects. Some people have reported dizziness using BHT. But they are often taking higher doses also.
I don`t know what to say. It sounds like you are very sick. I was not as sick as you are, though I was quite ill and had a failing liver: jaundice, dark urine, nausea and such. If you decide to try BHT, do that little taste test I suggested and work your way up carefully to make sure you have no ill effects. And, like I said, I weigh about 180 pounds and 200mg per day of BHT worked for me just like I said: in about 3 to 4 weeks. You still need to keep taking it even when you feel well because it takes years of daily dosing to actually free your liver of all infected cells. BHT destroys the viruses in the blood and intercellualar fluids, not inside a living cell. But the liver is constantly creating new cells and a true cure can eventually be acheived with daily dosing. I now test negative using even the antibodies and antigens tests for both hepatitis-B and hepatitis-C. This is what the VA, Veterans Administration told me in 2006. They do not prescribe BHT. I self treated this infection. BHT is NOT a prescribable treatment for hepatitis-C or anything else at this time as far as I know. I pray for your full recovery with whatever you decide to try....Oscar"
12/12/2011: Yanktongal from Moses Lake, Wa, Usa replies: "Hello. I have had hep c for about 40 years. Genome 1a. I read about BHT in August and ordered some, and began taking the 250 mg. Caps in the middle of the night when I get up to use the restroom. (Which I do without fail every night. ) I had just had a viral load test done and it was around 600000. After a month of religiously taking the BHT, I had another viral load done and it was down to 290000.I have been taking it ever since, and have another appt. this Thursday with an Infectious Disease specialist. He wants to discuss a "New" treatment, probably that protease that's being used along with ribarivin and interferon. I do not want to go that route, because of the side effects. I think I am feeling a lot better and would not be surprised if my viral load is now undetectable. It was reduced by 50% in one month; and it has been three since my last lab. If it hasn't gone down significantly, I will amp it up to 250 mgs. twice a day. I just can't decide if I'm going to tell my doctor about my BHT protocol. Maybe I will just wait until it disappears and then tell him how and why. But so far, I feel the BHT has been very effective."
12/13/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Yanktongal, This is the sort of feedback I have been praying for [ and I have been a non-believer giving my non-belief some second thoughts ]. Thank you so very much for posting your results. This BHT really does work as a VERY EFFECTIVE treatment for hepatitis C. This forum needs to hear from people who are trying this treatment. Now, there is another forum member who like you has HCV type 1a. As you probably already know: The type 1 variants of hepatitis C have proven to be the hardest to treat. It is worth noting that about 80% of the people in the USA infected with hepatitis C have one of the HCV type 1 variants.Anyway, this other forum member who has HCV type 1a has posted similar results using the same dosage you have been using: She reported a two thirds reduction in her viral load count after about 8 weeks of using the BHT at the same or close to the dosage you have been using. Her liver function test results returned to NORMAL or healthy readings also in that 8 weeks of treatment with the BHT.
Also, I have been posting some other people`s test results in this forum as have others. From the feedback available: It seems that dosages of between 200mg and 350mg of BHT taken TWICE a day is best for most average size adults. But if that double dosing so to speak causes significant side effects, that is no reason to get discouraged. Those smaller dosages DO work, it just takes a little longer is all. So if you can tolerate this twice a day dosing without significant side effects, that is what seems to work best from the feedback available at this time. If not, just stick with the once a day dosing, you ARE getting well. You WILL get those no virus detected results. This BHT really does work as a treatment for hepatitis C in all of its variants.
Please keep in mind that the conventional treatments for HCV type 1a are on average 48 weeks of the interferon ribavron and only work for about 50% of the people so treated when some third, new compound is added to that mix. And, very importantly: Many if not most of those people relapse within 5 years. Those conventional treatments are quite toxic and cannot be taken indefinately under the best circumstances [ those people who can tolerate them without very serious side effects for 48 weeks].
Now, I need to be very clear about this: Simply achieving a NO VIRUS DETECTED RESULT does NOT mean you are cured of hepatitis C. All it means is that there was no HCV virus detected in your blood at the time the test was done. Your liver will still be full of infected cells. BHT can NOT uninfect a living liver cell. NOTHING can do that. BUT, every cell in a person`s liver is a new cell in about every year or so. With the BHT you simply keep taking it as long as neccessary [ at least 2 years in my experience and opinion ]. Probably longer than 2 years. BUT, and this is the beauty of this BHT stuff: There is very substantial proof that BHT is in fact good for you. That PHYSIOLOGICAL REVIEWS article I have refferred to in the past shows an average lifespan increase in mice dosed with BHT of 21% to 32% in mice dosed with BHT over their entire lifetimes compared to undosed mice.
So, like I said: just keep taking the BHT and eventually you will be truly CURED of hepatitis C. Please keep the forum updated with any and all test results. That is extremely important. And when you do achieve those NO VIRUS DETECTED results, please do tell your doctor how you did it. I have been trying for over 14 years now to get the medical establishment to wake up to the fact that BHT cures hepatitis C. This BHT stuff really does work. Not sort of, or maybe it helps somewhat. BHT CURES HEPATITIS C!!! ...Oscar"

[QUESTION] 05/08/2009: Bilbar from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA writes: "Hi all, I've recently been diagnosed with hep-C. And What brought to the hospital was a severe abdominal bloating. Can anyone tell me the reasons possibly behind this side effect, it turned out to be a fluid they drained surrounding my abdominal cavity, but not in my organs. The fluid built back up 2 days later. and I've beeen bloated ever since. I have started the h202, milk thistle, and aloe vera, treatments. how do I stop the fluids???"
Replies05/20/2009: Canary from Boulder, Colorado replies: "You probably have cirhosis and the bloating, water retention is ascites. At least see a hepatologist. get one recommened and knows well and experienced in dealing with hep c.
For now, try milk thistle..high grade.., ALA -alpha-lopeic-acid, selenium-methylselenocystine, phosphatidyl-choline. Eat healthy and liver friendly, take extra care of your self. Do a lot of research on the net.
Fluid build up as you describe is not to be taken lightly.
Bestwishes to you.
This horrid disease!"
05/07/2011: Catpleasant from Reno, Nv Usa replies: "I had that happen, the doctors pulled over three liters of fluid out of stomach cavity and another 3 out of one lung. (was a very sick person).I'm surpised they didn't prescribe diuretics (water pills) for the fluid, as well as some of the pharmacuetals they have available for helping the liver work better.
If you use salt, stop. Lower your salt intake to zero (impossible but at least throw out the salt shaker). For awhile my fluid intake was severely restricted. though now, they keep telling me I'm dehydrated and need to drink more water.
Unfortunately, the main diuretic I'm suppose to take seems to shut my kidneys down, so I don't take it every day (no fooling right?).
Welcome to the world of the tightrope walk with keeping your body functioning with different pills. I apologise for that - but it seems to be closer to the truth than what even I care to believe.
email me and I'll tell you exactly what the doctors have me on, what each pill does, and how each one works.

08/15/2011: Benjie007 from Muntinlupa, Rizal, Philippines replies: "hi Oscar, im benjie from philippines, I've been reading about your advice regarding BHT. My question is ? I have a peptic ulcer at present and I have a hepatitis c with cirrhosis. Do you think it is safe for me to use BHT as my alternative medicine to my illness. please reply, thanks a lot."
08/15/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "This is a tough question for me to answer. I am not a doctor. Just what effect BHT would have on a peptic ulcer is beyond my experience or knowledge. I will suggest that BHT sensitivity test I described in earlier postings. Also, if you decide you wish to try the BHT treatment: You can open one those capsules and empty one directly into your mouth. Allow for a large amount of saliva to build up in your mouth before swollowing. Also drink a full cup of water to dillute this mixture of saliva and BHT. Do the sensitivity test first. You can always take smaller amounts of BHT also. That is the best I can do to annswer your question. I do think BHT may very well aggrivate a peptic ulcer. If you experience pain you may wish to take one tablespoon of olive oil to coat your stomach. Let me know what happens. There are ways to work out these problems with some experimentation with known to be safe things like olive oil.What have you used in the past to ease the pain of this peptic ulcer ? ...Oscar"
08/16/2011: Benjie007 from Muntinlupa, Philippines replies: "Hi oscar, for 1 month now im taking pantoprazole 40 mg 30 mins before breakfast for my peptic ulcer. I ordered BHT today, hope I will received it next week. I will let you know. thanks for the good advice, god bless always."
08/18/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "I have been thinking about you Benjie, I don`t know what is the best way for you to take BHT. It crossed my mind that the best way for you to take it may very well be the way I always take it: with a gulp of water on an empty stomach because this would get the BHT to your duodenum quickly. The duodenum is the organ just beyond the stomach and is where oils and fats are processed for digestion. BHT is similar to fats and oils in that it is not water soluble. Like fats and oils it has a high hydrocarbon content. So my thinking is get the BHT past your stomach and into the duodenum as quickly as possible. Just taking the capsule with a gulp of water is the quickest way to do this. Maybe a little milk would help. I don`t know. You are going to have to experiment and find out what works best for you.BHT is NOT in anyway a harsh substance. It has very little taste of any kind. If you can take it with a gulp of water on an empty stomach without any problem that is best. I want to see you get well. Let me know this treatment works for you. There are some others in this forum giving BHT a try for thier hepatitis C infections. I know of two who are reporting positive results. I can be reached at the Life Extension forum. I am " oscar2u " in that forum and you can send me: PMs [ personal messages ] there if you wish to in that forum. Also post your results in this forum. This is important to me. BHT seems to work remarkably well for some people when nothing else has. Usually I never hear from people who try it, or they say they are feeling much better after a few weeks and that is the last I hear from them.
Some have reported sensitivity issues: this is most often some dizzyness. These issues can be worked through easily enough with some gradual increase of the BHT dosage. Most people have no problem with the small dosages I have discussed but some do. Anyway let this forum know how it works for you. There is no one else out there focusing on the use of BHT to treat hepatitis C that I know of and your feedback is important. Bless You, ...Oscar"
08/18/2011: Benjie007 from Muntinlupa, Philippines replies: "hi oscar, im planning to use BHT may be after I finished all the medicine for my ulcer probably a month. I will let you know beside I ordered BHT already. Thanks for thinking and caring about my health situation. god bless."
10/31/2011: Dan from Clearwater, Florida replies: "Benjie, I'm curious -- were you were able to take the BHT or did it irritate your peptic ulcer too much?If taking it orally is not working for you, have you considered administering transdermally with DMSO; or as a rentention-enema; or perhaps with the aid of a nebulizer?
Note: Each of these may present their own problems, and I have no idea whether any of them would work or if they'd just create other problems or dangers, so please be careful if you try something along these lines.
Good luck."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 12/29/2009: Kathy from Camarillo, Ca writes: "My husband has been suffering from Hep C since 2001...thats when it became symptomatic. We think he contracted in college in the 70's. He is 59 years old and we have managed to control the symptoms so he can lead a very normal life. He did one round of interferon for 11 months...which really damaged his body in other ways, but didn't get rid of it. He is taking a whole food supplement that is dehydrated fruits and vegetables. When we started him on it, he was taking 6 vege capsules in the morning and 6 fruit with dinner or after. Since he started taking these, he no longer has the Hep C tiredness, brain fog and achiness that was with him for so long. He has been on the product for about 5 years now and is back to working full time and teaching tennis on the weekends (his love). If he forgets to take it or gets stubborn and doesn't take it....the symptoms come raging back. He now takes 3 vege in the morning and 3 fruit in the evening...it seems to have a cumulative effect and he doesn't need so much now.
I don't want to say the name because I love this site and it has asked me not to, but if someone wants to know you can email me at rialskathy@yahoo.com. You can only get this product through a distributor. I am a distributor, but only to buy my own product cheaper. I don't really sell it to other people. You probably know someone who is selling it already or I can give you the website.
It hasn't cured the Hep C, but it has given me my husband back."
[YEA] 06/04/2011: B from Vancouver, Bc Canada replies: "My husband contracted Hep C in London, England several years ago. I have taken my knowledge of immune system enhancers and natural healthcare, and through consultation with alternative care practitioners to take him from a relatively low viral count to almost nothing, while suffering no side effects. We expect the hep C to be completely gone and will keep you informed. He has been taking a steady dose of 4 Olive Leaf, 6 Curcumin, 2 Lactoferrin, 1 IP6, 2 Bell Lifestyle Stem Cell Activators, 2, 000 Omega 3, 1 N-Actyl-Cysteine, Superfood Greens, multi B vitamins, 2,000 Vitamin C, Kidney detox tea (Bell Lifestyle) - daily. Also, no microwave foods, no coffee, limited dairy, no processed foods, organic foods as much as possible. All the best."
11/19/2011: Vj from Victoria, Bc, Canada replies: "Hello B: Can Lactoferrin, 1 IP6, 2 Bell Lifestyle Stem Cell Activators & 1 N-Actyl-Cysteine all be purchased in a health food store, or did you purchase these supplements online through a distributor?Thank you"

TED'S REMEDIES FEEDBACK
05/04/2009: Health Investigator from Houston, TX, USA writes: "I have a question for those with remedies that worked for HCV. Which genotype do you have? I know that genotype 1 is the most difficult to control? Ted do you have genotype 1?
MMS (chlorine dioxide) worked for awhile-- it really brought the viral load down 25%.It took severla months. However the thyroid TSH levels went way out of wack. Ozone looks promising howeve rthe test results have not been back yet.
I have a suggestion: if a cure is posted, plese add the genotype. Thanks!"
