03/23/2012: Fatcha from Tucson, Az : "Went to the doctor today, the numbers were not what I precieved but they were none the less great. As I stated before the venerial warts I had fo 30 or 40 years are totally gone and that was a month after I took the bht. Anyway.. To the point... The numbers were as the nurse told me however the decimal point was not there so my viral load went from 2110000 to 837930 so more then half.. I have been taking two caps of bht 180 mg plus Ascorbyl Palimate, a fat soluble form of vitamine C, once a day. I ate as usual, drink coffee, and eat sweets... Lots of sweets. And drink much milk, in addition I am on a high dose of methadone and have been for decades. I take no other vitamins.

I will not post again unless the the viral load reaches non detectable levels.

My original post where I said the c was totally gone was supposition that the warts were gone... they worked on the same premise, and a friend went from 6 mil VL to non detectable. Using bht. So I knew it worked but was a bit over zealous. But down by half ain't chopped liver!

All in all, I'll keep on BHT, perhaps take a few other things W/ BHT"

Oscar speaks highly about your improvement with BHT which caused me to to have a lot of hope with it. I tried to click on the email tab below your post and it didn't link me to your email address. There are a lot of new members posting about their results over at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BHTcures/

I am waiting for my second ALT/AST test to show a difference from my base line which is ALT81ui AST54ui

I am hoping to see you there with Oscar and the rest of us. Stay well.

I'm so happy and feeling fabulous and I'm going for my 1st blood work very shortly. I discovered Oscar's posts on the internet and I feel blessed to have been able to find this great site and Oscar in what seems like "just in time". I was diagnosed with Genotype 1A back in 99 and failed conventional therapy in 4 short months, so I had to do something about this and started searching for a miracle and I finally found it in BHT. I'm so sure that my vl will be very low because every symtom that plagued me for years, tiredness, aching joints, brain fog and others are completely gone!! This is a solid indicator that this dreaded condition is improving very much.

When I get my blood work back I'll post the results ..... So it's been almost 3 1/2 months since I started this treatment and I've been taking pure liquid Sylimarin (Milk Thistle) for inflammation, Sodium Bicarbinate, Apple Cider, Vinegar for my bodies ph rise, and drinking 10-12 oz of Grapefruit juice for the Nangarin which I've learned also helps to penetrate the Lipid Envelope of Hep C. Will report back withing 4-6 weeks with results and thanks to all BHT warriors who are kind enough to share their success stories with us all."

05/11/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Twodragunns, It is very good hearing from you. It seems the BHT works very well for some people and not as well for others. Please do post your blood test results when they become available to you. Also, there is this BHT CURES group you might wish to join. But, please do post your bloodwork results here in this forum first and foremost. Here is a link to the BHT CURES group: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BHTcures/

Thank you for posting in this important forum so very much....Oscar"

12/13/2012: Lloyd from Charlotte, Nc replies: "I have seen great success with colloidal silver over the years in dealing with viral infections, even body wide. I am wondering if silver might help with Hep B or C. In my own experience I used the silver two or three times daily, a tablespoon at a time... For months to give the silver time to work. But not on a Hep infection. I'd love to hear if viral load droped with the use of silver. Just a suggestion."

03/16/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear A. From Boston, As I have suggested many times now: If and/or when adverse effects are experienced with these BHT treatments LOWER the dosage of BHT. I have also suggested taking BHT in dosages of no more than 350mg at any one time. That these dosages should be taken seperately. I also have found good reasons why BHT should be taken with a fruit juice as opposed to water. Grape juice is a good one as is cranberry juice. This is because glucose is a an important ingrediant involved in the metabolism of BHT as discussed in the different toxicology reports.

So lower your dosage, at least for now. Always split the dose if taking more than 350mg per day. And take the BHT with some fruit juice such as grape juice or cranberry juice. Try doing that and let this forum know if that resolves any problems you are having with the BHT treatments. Some better answers are hopefully becoming apparent for those trying the BHT treatment."

03/31/2011: Broken Hearted from Kansas City, Missouri,u.s.a. replies: "Dear Oscar from Syracuse, New York,

Thanks for your posting on BHT. I have been treating hcv since 2002. I started with interferon injection which gave me a serious side effect. Since then, I have tried a lot of other products without any luck. The test I had in March 2011 showed that the viral count had increased to 278,000 IU. The hcv has developed resistance to a lot of treatments.

When I read your posting two days ago, I jumped at it and, I wish to try it. But my concern is the fear that the hcv might be resistance to BHT too. My questions: Did you swallow the capsule or did you open the capsule and pour the powder into the water and drank it? Did you drink anything with it? Some websites suggest that it could be taken with lysine and vit. C. What do you advise? I want to take it exactly as you took yours, may be I could also have the same result you had. Is there any food I should avoid? After taking the BHT, how many hours lapsed before taking your breakfast? Could you please reply me quickly? I AM BROKEN HEARTED BECAUSE OF HCV. Thanks.

BROKEN HEARTED."

My blood tested negative for hepatitis C in about 3 weeks and my liver funtion tests BACK TO were normal. I keep taking BHT to keep my blood free of that virus and the others it has been shown to be effective against. It is a proven life extender in mice dosed with BHT by as much as 45% on average. It is usually more like 31% in the many tests that have been done. This is for normal, undiseased mice and rats. There was an extensive article published in PHYSIOLOGICAL REVIEWS about that....Oscar"

I'm not a drinker or drug user nor do I sleep around. I'm looking for a treatment that doesn't involve Interfuron(sp). I'm going to try to find some BHT and see if it helps me."

07/01/2011: Graham from Boston, Ma, Usa replies: "I have read your positive views but also negative views on another website... (copied below)... to be honest I'm confused.

Directions:

Precautions:
Because of conflicting results, no one really knows what the cancer risk - if any - is from BHT. The possibility should not be ignored; anyone who uses BHT or any synthetic chemical should consider there may be consequences yet unknown from the use of non-naturally occuring chemicals.

Most BHT users recommend that no one should take more than 2gm per day, some saying 1gm is the limit. It should probably also not be taken on an empty stomach.

Avoid use in hepatitis or other liver problems.

BHT is fat-soluble, so thin people may need less. Furthermore, persons on low-fat diets may be more susceptible to side-effects.

BHT can interfere with blood clotting, so it might be a special risk for persons with hemophilia or other clotting problems.

Doses of BHT should start small and gradually increase. It is probably not harmful to stop abruptly, however, because BHT stays in the body for several weeks.

A few people are chemically sensitive to BHT.

Alcohol should be avoided for at least several hours after taking BHT. Alcohol may have a stronger effect than usual, so be especially careful about driving.

BHT can interact with other drugs. It can either increase or decrease their effects

Can anyone provide help?

You will see from these testimonials that at the very least BHT is a very effective treatment for hepatitis-C for SOME people. All of us were feeling quite well in a very few weeks using BHT....Oscar"

07/08/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Graham, You brought up a number of concerns about BHT. I will do what I can to address them. One of the concerns you brought up is that BHT is an unnatural compound. This was proven to be FALSE in 2008. BHT occurs naturally in at least some phytoplankton. You can read about that here: http://www.life-enhancement.com/article_template.asp?ID=2168

Now the BHT that is available is produced synthetically, BUT, there is NO difference in synthetically produced BHT and that which occurs naturally. A known compound is a known compound. The molecular structure is EXACTLY the same.

I am aware of all these dire warnings about people with liver disease using BHT. And it is a shame that this is so in my opinion. After all, the prescibable medications are very far from being safe or effective for most people. They are NOT effective for most peple, they only work for about 45% of the people so treated and have very negative SIDE EFFECTS for MOST people so treated. Also, of that 45% that they work for MOST of them relapse in a few years. These prescribable treatments are a careful balancing act of getting enough of these highly toxic medications to destroy enough of the virus to show some improvement without the negative impacts destroying a persons health. Conditions including severe anemia and kidney failure.

The World Health Organization has been investigating the toxicity of BHT for a long time now. Near the end of one of their lengthy reports they state that: BHT is NON-TOXIC to the liver in daily doses of 25mg per kilogram of body weight. A 110 pound person weighs 50 kilograms. 25mg x 50 = 1, 250mg. The dosages I have discussed are 200mg daily for a 180 pound person. I am that 180 pound person I base that dosage on. That is the dosage I used to very effedtively treat my hepatitis-C infection.

As to BHT being a cancer promoter: In the many mice and rat studies it takes massive daily dosages to produce such results, very far beyond the dosages I have discussed.

Dr. Denham Harman`s studies, along with many others indicate that BHT in fact shows BHT to be a cancer preventer in the dosages I have discussed. In fact, Dr. Harman`s critics pointed out that the mice he was dosing had a propensity for getting cancer and that ALL he was doing was preventing these mice from getting cancer and that accounted for their AVERAGE LIFESPAN INCREASE of up to 50%. Well, if his critics are correct about that, I find THAT very significant. Wild mice, those not bred for SHORT LIFESPANS, tolerate even massive dosing of BHT remarkably well.

I have looked at a very many of these mice and rat studies. Some of which seem to be DETERMINED to show BHT as a cancer promoter. In some of these studies, when they did not get the results they desired [ to prove that BHT was a cancer promoter ] they went so far as to mix it with corn oil and inject it into the mice. Corn oil alone, by itself, if injected leads to organ failure as a Californian beautician found out. Read about that here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-01-19-mazola_x.htm

A very many of these so called studies mix BHT with corn oil and inject it to PROVE BHT is bad for you. So if you mix BHT with corn oil and inject it, this mixture leads to organ failure. BUT, so does injecting corn oil alone, by itself.

These are the lengths so called scientists have gone to, to prove BHT is bad for you. Make what you will of all that.

I do suggest people choosing to give BHT therapy a TASTE TEST. By this I mean: open up a BHT capsule, lick your finger, daub it on the BHT crystals and lick your finger to test for sensitivity. Then gradually build up the amount you ingest as a precaution for BHT sensitivity. A large majority of people have no adverse effects with BHT at that 200mg daily dose for a 180 pound person I have discussed. I wish well and to be well, ...Oscar"

07/28/2011: Lilly from Perth, Western Australia replies: "I have started taking the BHT. I am up to day 6. The initial effect was a gastrointestinal responce. Loose, frequent, bowel motions, for about 3 days.

I have Hep C and have been working on myself for the past 12 months. No alcohol, raw food for the first 6 months and milk thistle daily.

My liver enzymes all returned to a normal range. What I do experience is a feeling of a lump in my throat when I have eaten something that I think is harded for my liver to process.

I lost this feeling with the initial introduction of the BHT, it seems to have returned now.

I will continue taking 300mg/day on an empty stomach for 1 month and then go and have viral load and enzyme levels tested.

I will keep you posted. I would appreciate any feed back from others who are managing there own cure for Hep C"

07/28/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "You stated your liver enzymes are normal after using the BHT treatment. What were they before you started using BHT. Do not get discouraged with some minor discomfort. Those liver funtion test results are very important and indicate the treatment is working. BHT can take some getting used to for some people. Compared to the alternatives some stomach discomfort is minor. You can always decrease the dosage if this trouble persists or gets worse. BHT taken on an empty stomach only requires small dosages of BHT. Please keep posting about how this treatment is effecting you. I think you are getting well because the liver function tests have returned to normal. THOSE ARE the MOST important initial results to be looked for. This treatment does take a few weeks for most people. Give it some time and DO decrease the dosage if you feel it is necessary. There is no big hurry with this treatment. You want a SAFE dosage, NOT more. Your liver will recover if testable improvement is shown....Oscar"

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS]  09/27/2011: Monty from Los Angeles, California replies: "Hi,

Thanks to some of the testimonials here. As a result I have tried ACV and sodium bicarbonate for GERD and it is working very well. I have been mixing them together and it makes quite a pleasant drink - they cancel out each other's bitterness and saltiness.

I have also been trying BHT which I find to be very powerful. The first day, I took three 200 g capsules throughout a 12 hour period, monitoring myself and did not feel any side effects.

However that night I woke up at 1 am totally wired as if I had drunk twenty cups of coffee! It was a very unpleasant experience and I could feel BHT in my brain, adrenals and especially in my liver, attacking the virus. (Not unlike the sensation of having a needle drilled through the liver. )

So I decided to wait several days before taking it again, until I was sleeping soundly again.

I took one again two days ago and again woke up feeling 'wired'. This stuff must stay in your system a while because I did not take any yesterday and noticed last night the same symptoms - acute 'drilling' sensation in the frontal lobe of the liver, sleeplessness and restlessness, brain and adrenal stimulation.

So obviously I do have some concerns about BHT, perhaps I am a little more sensitive to it than the average, yet it certainly appears to be attacking the hep c virus. I have not done a blood test yet, maybe in a couple of months.

I have also been using Orizon's high PH (13) water, and after doing a course of a couple of months earlier this year, got my liver enzyme levels down to almost normal. I have heard that some people have actually killed the Hep C virus with it, but no concrete testimonial.

Thanks to everyone for your sharings.

M"

09/27/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Hello Monty, From what you said: It seems to me you are taking too much BHT. Many people seem to be able to tolerate the dosage [ 600mg per day ] you discussed. In my opinion that is too much, at least for you. There is no need to take such a large dosage. Thin and or lean people are more prone, more sensitive to BHT for one thing.

Whether you are thin or lean does not matter. You are experiencing undesired side effects. If you wish to continue BHT therapy you need to lower that dosage. I suggest you take only one of those 200mg capsules per day. That is the dosage I used to successfully treat my hepatitis C infection when I had a failing liver. I weighed 180 pounds at that time.

Along with BHT`s antiviral properties, it is a very powerful antioxidant. If taken with water only much less BHT is required to achieve the desired results. The goal is to find out what is a safe dosage for each person. NOT to see how much you can tolerate. The stimulative reaction you experienced is not all that unusual and is discussed in the literature.

The way I see it is that even small dosages such as 200mg per day or LESS for many people is the right dosage. TOO much is too much. Hepatitis C is an infection that takes many years to cause liver failure. There is no big hurry with this treatment. I have always encouraged people to find a dosage they are comfortable with. I have never taken more than 350mg per day on a regular basis. Find out if you tolerate those 200mg doses a day well or not. If not take LESS....Oscar"

09/29/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "A number of forum members have stated they are trying the BHT treatment for hepatitis C. I am asking all of you to please keep the forum updated with whatever the results have been. Most especially liver funtion tests and viral load counts.

There is no one else OUT THERE discussing this treatment. Your feedback is very important. About 150 million people worldwide are infected with this sometimes deadly infection. If this BHT works as good as it did for me, Gina, January, and fatcha brute for others also, the WORLD needs to hear from you. If it does not we need to know that also. There are issues surrouding effective dosages, methods of administration, and side effects that need to be addressed.

Your feedback is required to answer these questions. One of the side effects that have come up in this forum is that for some people BHT acts as a stimulant. I have suggested they take smaller dosages if they wish to continue this treatment. I will also suggest they include 2 tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil at least one hour AFTER taking the BHT on an empty stomach with water. BHT acummulates in fat cells and lipids. All nerve cells are sheathed by a form of lipids. BHT interacts with lipids, that is how it destroys lipid enveloped viruses including the hepatitis C virus. Lean people seem to be especially sensitive to BHT. By taking that olive or coconut oil you will ensure that your neurons maintain adequate sheathing. It may take more than two tablespoons of olive or coconut oil for some people.

So if you are trying this BHT treatment get back to this forum with your results....Oscar"

I would really love to hear back from you! I am thinking of the interferon again and it scares me to think of another year on it.

Sincerely, CM"

11/14/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear CM from Wilmington, This is Oscar. We have had some instructive feedback in this forum and I have some from other forums also. For a person your weight, about 200 pounds, I think you should be taking at least one 350mg capsule of BHT twice a day on an empty stomach with a gulp of water to wash the capsule down. Do NOT mix the BHT with any oil at the time it is taken. Wait at least one hour for the BHT to be digested and metabolized before eating any food for best results.

Also, some people have discussed side effects including stomach discomfort and dizzyness. Most people have NO side effects. But, some do. An easy sensitivity test can be done. Open up a capsule and pour the contents on to a small dish. Lick your finger and daub it on the crystals and lick that finger. Wait an hour and see if you have any side effect. If you DO, don`t get discouraged. Some simple ramping up will resolve this issue. Simply lick 2 daubs the next day. You will get used to it in almost all cases. For most people this is not an issue. A very many people take BHT on a daily basis for conditions including any of the herpes viruses for example.

The brand I have been using for over 10 years now is that sold by: Vitamin Research Products, a trusted name in supplements and THEY have been making and selling BHT for a long time now. Once you reach that: NO VIRAL LOAD DETECTED result you still need to keep taking the BHT for at least 2 years. I still take it because it is a proven average lifespan extender and keeps you appearing younger. The reason you need to keep taking the BHT is because even when no virus is detected in your blood your liver will still be full of infected cells. Because the liver completely renews itself in about one year, if you keep your blood free of the viral particles, eventually a true cure does occur.

I never took interferon or anything other than BHT to treat my Hepatitis-C infection and I had HCV with a failing liver. Give the BHT a chance by itself. And do this for me: Report any and all liver function test results along with any viral load count tests. This BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] stuff really does work. Read what fatcha brute has to say about that here: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?p=6967512"

11/14/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Michael, Good to hear from you. I want you to know that because of the feedback I have gotten in this forum and others: I think one 350mg capsule taken twice a day is the best way to go with the BHT. That is the dose that seems to work best for average size adults. Take it on an empty stomach and wait one hour before eating any food. It can be taken between meals or at night before going to sleep.

Please report back to this forum with all test results. This is important. All details help including geno type and such. People are starting to report back and the results are impressive as I expected they would be. It takes longer for some than others. From the available information dramatic improvement should be indicated within a few months. For many it is a matter of weeks, for others a few months. This is the only information I have to go by: what people who try the BHT report back with. The feedback is looking very impressive so far. Wishing you the best, ...Oscar"

11/23/2011: Cm from Wilmington, Nc replies: "Oscar, I am waiting for the order I placed of BHT! You have given me hope as I have stated earlier I did the Interferon Ribaviron for a year and the virus came back within 2 months. I tried to take the treatment again and the side effects were just too much. I was thinking about doing it again as I have stage 3 cirrhosis and really need to do something. I have a couple of questions and the first is how long before I will see an increase in my energy level? And how long after starting the BHT treatment should I wait to have my blood work done again?"

11/23/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Cm from Wilmington, This is Oscar and I will answer your questions as best I can. Please do note that because of the feedback from Dr. W and Victoria I do now believe one 350mg capsule taken TWICE a day is best for most adults. Most people tolerarate that dosage well. Some do not. If you are one of those that experience significant side effects do NOT get discouraged. Usually some simple ramping up of the dosage resolves this issue. Also, even at smaller dosages the BHT will work. It will take a bit longer is all. I had a very infected liver, to the point of substantial liver failure. I got well using only 200mg of BHT per day.

Now both Dr. W and fatcha brute were using larger dosages. Fatcha brute was using two 350mg capsules per day. Dr. W was using larger dosages initially. And Victoria was using the smaller dosage [ 200mg to 250mg per day ].

Victoria achieved impressive results in about 2 months at that dosage. Her viral load went down by two thirds of what it had been and her liver function tests returned to normal or healthy readings in about 2 months. That is an impressive improvement. So, if you can tolerate the 350mg dose taken TWICE a day, GREAT. If not, do not get discouraged. The smaller dosages work, they just take longer.

Compared to the prescibed medicines the BHT works much quicker and is much safer. In fact there is substantial evidence that BHT taken in the dosages we are discussing is in fact good for you. That PHYSIOLOGICAL REVIEWS article shows an average lifespan increase of between 22% and 31% for mice dosed with BHT for their entire lifetimes. I know of NO other compound that can claim that. NONE, period. So, I want you to stop being afraid, you are going to get through this and be truly cured of hepatitis C using the BHT. I was very sick and so was January. We both felt well within a few weeks. Our livers were functioning well again though still infected with HCV. To achieve a true cure does take at least 2 years of daily dosing with the BHT. The BHT can keep the blood free of HCV viral particles. It can NOT uninfect a living liver cell. NOTHING out there can do that. BUT, every cell that makes up a person`s liver is a new cell in about one year. So, by keeping the blood free of intact viral particles, eventually a true cure is achieved. That is why you and so many others using the interferon and ribaviron treatments relapse. This is not going to happen with the BHT if you continue taking it even after you get those: NO VIRUS DETECTED RESULTS.

This BHT has proven itself to be very effective in treating lipid enveloped viruses. Hepatitis C is very much a lipid enveloped virus. I had both hepatitis C and B. I now test negative for both those viruses using any test given including the antibodies and antigens tests. It truly is as if I had NEVER been infected. And I most definately was so infected. I had been tested and retested in 1997 and was positive. I had myself retested about a year later using the antibodies and antigens tests and still tested POSITIVE. I was retested in 2006 and now test NEGATIVE using the antibodies and antigens tests.

I am not asking you to have faith in me. I am telling you this BHT really does work because of the results of all those tests and the fact that it has worked and IS working for those others I have mentioned and linked to their statements. I do not know how long it will take for you to feel better. From the feedback I have gotten that should happen within 2 months. As far as getting tested goes: myself and others showed testable improvement in 1 month. For Dr. W it took 2 months. The same is true for Victoria. If you can get tested in one month, why not do so ? And again in another month if there is any doubt the BHT is working after the first test.

Now I want you to report whatever those test results are along with the dosage of BHT used and the genotype of HCV being treated. Do that for me. Let me also know of any side effects and I will do my best to help you. Again, most people have no side effects with the dosages I have discussed. I wish you well and to be well, ...Oscar"

It`s use as a medicine or supplement are two: 1. It`s use as an antivral for lipid coated viruses 2. Its used as an average lifespan extender due to its anti-oxidant properties.

It is 6:30 PM have not eaten in 5 hours and am going to take my 1st 350 dose and will eat later! I will get my blood work information for you as well. Dr.s are such a pain in the ass to be honest-wait for this, we will see about that later bla bla bla!

Thanks again,

CM"

12/04/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Good hearing from you CM from Wilmington, This BHT really does work, not just sort of, as a treatment for hepatitis C. It may take longer for some than others, but it works. From the feedback I have been getting: for some it is a matter of a few weeks, and for some a few months. But people are reporting an eventual NO VIRUS DETECTED test result.

I need to keep repeating myself about this: That NO VIRUS DETECTED result does NOT mean you are cured of hepatitis C. It means there was no virus detected in your blood at the time the blood was drawn and tested. Without any doubt, your liver will still be full of infected cells that will burst and infect other liver cells if you stop taking the BHT. Simply keep taking the BHT. Because the liver completely renews itself about every year, if you keep your blood free of HCV virus particles, eventually a true cure is achieved with the use of BHT. I have achieved a true CURE for myself using BHT. I don`t know how many years that took. I would think at least two years of daily dosing with BHT. But, so what? As that PHYSIOLOGICAL REVIEWS article illustrates, there is very substantial evidence that BHT is good for you. An average lifespan increase of between 22% and 31% for mice dosed with BHT over their entire lifetimes compared to mice that were not dosed with the BHT is quite something. I know of NO other compound that can make such a claim, NONE.

This BHT really does work, ...Oscar"

[YEA]  12/04/2011: Cm from Wilmington, Nc replies: "No side effects for me from the BHT I am glad to report! On day 4 and am excited to possibly be on to something here. I know I did the interferon and ribaviron for a year with horrible side effects and the virus was back within 2 months! Started the treament again and just could not take it again. So here we go folks, I am for real here and have had Hep C for years, probably got it at the same time I got Hep B which was in 1976 from needles! I would love any feedback from others.

12/04/2011: Susan From San Francisco from San Francisco, Ca replies: "Oscar - I've just purchased some loose BHT. Can you advise how much of a teaspoon (1/8, 1/16, 1/32, etc) to take to equal 200mg? Thank You"

12/05/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Susan, I do not know the answer to your question. From what you stated you bought it in bulk and not in capsules. There are scales available to measure pharmacutical weights as in milligrams. Why didn`t you buy the capsules that come in measured dosages ? Also, from the feedback that has been given it does seem that one 350mg capsule taken TWICE a day is best for most average sized adults. Now some few people have reported negative side effects at that dosage. Also, from the feedback given, mixing the BHT with any oil is a big mistake in the treatment of hepatitis C. I say that because I cannot help but wonder if that was why you bought the BHT in bulk.

I want to be helpful but any volume measurement I would suggest would be simply guessing at what volume would equal 200mg. Milligrams are a weight measurement. Now these scales are available and many drugstores do sell them. You would need a scale that can measure milligrams. There are many models available for less than 100 dollars. I do not own one and cannot make any recommendations about these scales. I am sorry I cannot be more helpful....Oscar"

12/05/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Good to hear from you Cm from Wilmington, I am relieved to learn you have no adverse side effects using the BHT. This is true for most people by far, but there are some who do experience such side effects and I have to always take them into consideration in my postings.

So, for you this is not a problem. This BHT really does work as a treatment for hepatitis C taken as I have discussed. You are going to get those NO VIRUS DETECTED results. I have also dicussed why you need to keep taking the BHT once such results are achieved for at least 2 years in my opinion to clear the liver of ALL infected cells. From the feedback available one 350mg capsule taken TWICE a day on an empty stomach is what works best for most average size adults.

Please keep this forum updated with any and all test results....Oscar"

12/09/2011: Toad from Bainer, Lss replies: "Hello,

I found out a couple of years ago I have hep c, I think is type 1a. I'll be picking up my previous 4 c panel results today. I also have the latest results taken 2 days ago coming. I will post the latest results. I do know the the last one I took was 1. 5 million viral load with a near normal enzyme. that one was a few months ago.

My doctors really wanted me to take the standard treatment for 48 weeks. I almost started them. I did my own research to find the they wasn't telling me the whole story about the success rate. my thought were there has to be a better way..

Then just by accident I came across this site, a real GOD send I might add. I am encouraged about the results I have read. So encouraged I have started the bht treatment. I'm not one to just jump because someone else does. I went and explained it to my doctor. He is more than happy to monitor me and document it for others if it works. He has little concerns about me taking it. I also have to take my blood pressure medicine. Also not a concern for him. The only thing he is concerned about is it may thin my blood, still not a serious concern.. He wants me back in his office a month after I start bht for more blood work. I am looking forward to that series of test.

I have high confidence that the dosage I'm taking will will show positive results. Right now I doing the ramp up in dosage as suggested here. I have also found I am going to have trouble taking it before bedtime, so that's out for now. I am taking one 200 mg once a day.

Sorry for the babbling, just thought I should tell how and what I'm doing.

Thanx for listening..

Toad"

12/09/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Toad from Bainer, What a joy it is for me to hear from you. Finally, I have found someone who has a doctor who is taking an interest in BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C.

Now, as you probably already know: the type 1 variants of hepatitis C have proven to be the hardest to treat. Now don`t get discouraged. Another member of this forum is infected with type 1A also and reported that after about 8 weeks of daily dosing with 200mg or 250mg per day a two thirds reduction in her viral load count and a return to normal liver function test results. Those are impressive results. The usual prescribed treatments are 48 weeks with a less than 50% success rate.

Never the less, I do feel that for best results you or anyone else should be taking more than 200mg of BHT per day if and only if you have no serious adverse reaction. I would suggest taking one 200mg of BHT TWICE a day instead of only once. For people that have no side effects: One 350mg capsule taken TWICE a day is the best dosage from the feedback available.

There is no one other than the people in this here forum that are taking a serious interest in BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C. Finding the safe and effecive dosages are up to us. It does seem to me that just what that dosage is will vary from person to person. But that we are establishing some rough guidelines regarding that. 700mg per day of BHT seems to me to be well below the established NOEL [ No-Observed-Effects-Level ] as to the toxicity of BHT as stated here:

 4. EVALUATION

In view of the probable involvement of hepatic enzyme induction
in the development of the hepatocellular damage associated with
repeated doses of BHT, the Committee concluded that, in this case, 
enzyme induction was the most sensitive index of effects on the liver. 
A well-defined threshold was demonstrated at 100 mg/kg bw/day in the
long-term study reviewed for the first time at this meeting, giving a
NOEL of 25 mg/kg bw/day. Effects observed in the reproduction segments
of the in utero/lifetime exposure studies were also taken into
account in the derivation of this NOEL. The Committee used a safety
factor of 100 to allocate an ADI of 0-0. 3 mg/kg bw for BHT. 

That NOEL does work out to be: 1,250mg of BHT per day for a 110 pound person. In conclusion: It does seem to me that for best results 350mg of BHT taken TWICE a day is safe and effective for most average sized adults. But also that the 200mg per day dosage IS an effective dosage that will take longer to achieve those NO VIRUS DETECTED results. Please stay in touch with this forum and keep us updated with all test results. Thank you for reporting in. Your feedback and that of others will answer the questions surrounding the use of BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] as a treatment for hepatitis C. Sincerely, ...Oscar"

12/10/2011: Toad from Bainer, Lss replies: "Thanx for the reply. I might go to a larger dose after I get the next round of blood test. Maybe before then. Really just testing the waters right now to see how my body reacts to the 200 once a day. So far I don't see anything that would stop me from taking a larger dose. I still don't think I'll be taking it before bedtime. seems to disrupt my sleep.

My doc is a quite young for a doctor. He really seems interested in my results and my well being. To be best of my knowledge I have had hep c for about 35 years, unknown to me. I just found out a couple of years ago. Other than hep c, I'm in good health. I have noticed some increasing symptoms of it. brain fog, muscle cramps, joint pain the general crap for hepc.

I will post if I change anything or have something to report. Short of that I'm looking forward to my next blood work.

12/12/2011: Cm from Charleston, South Carolina, United States replies: "For Oscar,

Oscar, I received my 250MG BHT shipment on Friday and started taking the BHT Saturday morning with one dose with water and waited for one hour before taking my other meds and supplements, I weigh in around 172 LBS, my question for you, to your knowledge would any of the other things that I have listed below that I am taking interfere with the BHT and how long should I wait before having my blood levels checked after starting the BHT? Thanks for all you are doing in the fight against HEP C with the info you are providing:

Synthroid (medication)

3 tabs of milk thistle

2 grams of salmon oil

2 grams of Acai

3 grams of Vit C

1 B12

1 gram of garlic

2 low dose aspirin

1 8 oz glass of grapefruit juice"

12/12/2011: Deb from Waterloo, Ia replies: "Hi I don't know anything about BHT but noticed you were taking Synthroid. I used that for ten years and still felt tired so I tried Thyro-Gold that I purchased on the internet. It's a natural thyroid from New Zealand cows and I only take one a day. I feel so much better as it contains both T3 and T4. You don't even need a prescription. Thanks EC for all the great info!"

12/13/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Cm from Charleston, It is good to hear from you. I have looked at the list of other things you are taking at this time. I did look into what " synthroid " is. It is identical in chemical structure to a compound naturally produced in the thyroid gland as the tradename suggests. No problem there. And I see no problem with the other things you are taking also as long as they are taken seperately from, NOT at the same time as the BHT.

Also, in my opinion: taking a high or good quality source of lipids such as salmon oil is a good idea as long as it is taken at least one hour before or after taking the BHT. Mixing BHT with ANY oil severely dilutes BHT`s desired effect as another forum member found out. Simply take it seperately, not at the same time. The importance of this is because all oils and fats are digested in way similar to the BHT. When you mix BHT with any oil you are in effect diluting it.

Also, in my opinion: When BHT is taken at the same time with other compounds, unpredictable chemical reactions take place in the stomach and duodenum between the BHT and other compounds. That is why I am so adamant about taking the BHT seperately, by itself and on an empty stomach with a gulp of water only. This method seems to be working well for others out there giving BHT a try as a treatment for hepatitis C.

And, from the feedback available at this time: Taking two capsules of BHT seems to be what works best if you have no adverse side effects with those two daily doses of BHT. One dose per day works very well, but two doses seems to work better. The dosages I am discussing are between 200mg and 350mg of BHT taken twice a day if no significant adverse effects are noted and one dose per day if adverse effects are experienced. The one dose per day simply takes a bit longer but will still work very well. Please do report any and all blood test results along with HCV genotype and such. Please do your part by providing this feedback....Oscar"

12/14/2011: Cm from Charleston, South Carolina, United States replies: "Hi Oscar,

Thanks for the feedback, I do have one other question, in your opinion, how long should I keep taking the BHT before I have my first blood test? I haven't been tested since the initial diagnosis 3 years ago. I will also post all results when I receive them."

12/14/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Cm from Charleston, That is a very good question: How long should I wait to be tested after starting the use of BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C? Ideally you should be tested as soon as possible to establish a base line or starting point before you start the treatment. I do understand that this is not always easy to get done. It costs money for these tests and somebody has to pay for it.

The reason for establishing this baseline is to allow for accurate tracking of your progress as in: liver function test results and viral load count test results. Without a baseline there is no way of answering those questions.

Now, I very much understand that for many people the cost of these tests is an important consideration.

For the sake of this discussion I will assume you wish to spend as little money as possible on testing. With that in mind those liver function tests are not that expensive and should be done as soon as possible. If you can afford it those viral load count tests should also be done as soon as possible. You want to know if this treatment is working or not.

From the feedback available: Many people have shown dramatic improvement in a few weeks, for others a few months. I will assume you want to see NORMAL LIVER FUNCTION and NO VIRUS detected results the first time tested. If that is your goal I would suggest being tested after 2 months of treatment with the BHT taken as I have discussed [ one 350mg capsule of BHT taken TWICE a day with a gulp of water on an empty stomach ]. This is assuming you experience no adverse side effects at that dosage. Every person is different and I can not say what is best for every person.

As a general rule: The sicker you are with hepatitis C the more carefully you have to monitor by testing what is happening with your liver. And each individual`s financial situation is an important factor. For all those reasons each person has to decide for themselves about such testing. If you can afford it, the more carefully, often this testing is done the better. I was tested once a week, but this was paid for by the VA because it was a service connected condition. My results were dramatic and I was testing: NO VIRUS DETECTED and liver fuction NORMAL in about one month using the BHT and nothing else....Oscar"

12/20/2011: Anon from Anon replies: "Oscar, I do find it strange how some people are so bullheaded and become buttheads in this area. I met with the same reaction when discussing Gerson therapy which has helped people I knew. I had nurses yelling at me saying it's all bs and just to rip people off. How is it a sham when Gerson is simply saying we need to get back to real food grown without chemicals (one of his points)? It is true I had various ills and physcian told me diet doesn't matter and made me some prescriptions that either didn't help or I didn't like the side effects. When I kicked the junk food diet, many of these issues resolved (like tinnitus, non-productive coughing fits, acid reflux, etc). They aren't trained too much in nutrition and so many people are just brainwashed and stubborn about it. Gerson M. D. Presented proof but he wrote about how it was rejected. We live in a business medical model where studies can be bought. When there's so much money and control in big pharma, you're not going to find the studies supporting things that would get in the way of their interests. Here is a video of a man who worked for Eli Lily showing why he left. Yes he is trying to do his own thing with a book he is promoting on nutrition but I think it's interesting when he gives an idea what big pharma wanted for him. SHOCKING in a way!

The best thing we can do - is for those with hepatitis that find there way here - to give the BHT a try and report back if/when the viral load goes down, stays down and after a year or two if/when the hepatitis is no longer detected. People keep medical records. People have been kind of programmed to fear and not trust alternative things; but for the explorers here who will try and post feedback... Then others will try if they start seeing others succeed in healing too.

It is difficult because many people also want instant gratification and it's hard to stay disciplined for one or two years on any regimen. If it helped you Oscar and I've read a few other stories here, then keep on sharing and helping people. If I had hepatitis and there was no cure, I am the type that would try it; because I don't trust mainstream as being always the best answer. I just see a lot of wrong things and corruption. But I can understand the pessimism and distrust of others because we also live in a world where people sell snake oil. People see beautiful ads and buy the latest diet pill or this or that and find it didn't work and they are out money. It's too bad because then people become cynical and as protection won't accept new info out of the box even if it might be true."

12/20/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "I, Oscar, feel a need to make people aware of the crap I have been dealing with for many years now regarding the use of BHT to treat hepatitis C. I have been banned from at least 4 forums for discussing this topic. There are many billions of dollars at stake here if I am right about just how effective BHT is. Not for me, I have never and will never accept any money for my efforts.

I am not being paranoid. Please do carefully follow this discussion I had about this topic in another forum with this link: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Hepatitis-C/My-mother-has-Hep-c-and-latent-TB/show/1559469

You will find that along with all the ridicule heaped upon me this statement by shakar: " My dad started BHT. Within 2 weeks, the viral load is down 50%. I will keep everyone posted about next pcr test. " That thread or conversation was closed by the moderator. Please read the entire thread to get some notion of what I have been up against.

shakar`s statement agrees with the results being achieved by those members of this forum who are giving the BHT treatment a try as a treatment for hepatitis C.

So what you may ask. This is what: This BHT really does work as a treatment for hepatitis C. The drug companies and the " SICK CARE " industry will lose many billions of dollars if this extremely inexpensive treatment becomes common knowledge. So, this is the sort of crap I am fighting and I do need forum members trying this treatment to report in with your test results.

Do read that thread and you will begin to understand why so very few people even know about this treatment after more than 14 years of effort by me. And fatcha brute`s statement sums up the reason`s why here: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?p=6967512Â

With those forum members who are giving the BHT treatment a try for hepatitis C`s feedback we can win this battle here in this forum. Most Sincerely, ...Oscar"

many thanks."

12/21/2011: Anon from Earth replies: "I fully believe your story. I see the same in the AIDS world. There is a huge movement of people starting to question the standard antiviral treatments pushed to HIV positive people, siting safer natural approaches that do not involve expensive/patented toxic chemotherapy for the rest of one's life. This is the ideal scenario to an industry that is only successful financially if people are sick and with limited options.

Any postings concerning successful alternate treatments are immediately banned from most forums. These places are always directly funded by big-pharma as "educational" sites, or indirectly supported by them through ad revenue.

I fully agree with the Gerson mention that all chronic diseases are a result of a mix between Mal-nutrition and toxicity. It's been my experience that removing both will result in immediate health improvements, no matter what the underlying problem in. This is a huge threat to certain medical conglomerates.

Forums like this are extremely important. I have never any censorship issues with my anonymous posts. Amazing job earthclinic!"

12/22/2011: Garrett from Oklahoma City, Ok replies: "Hi Oscar, My uncle is in stage 4 liver cancer related to Hep C, his kidneys are starting to shut down and no treatment is working at this time. He is willing to try anything and I stumbled onto this website and love it. Some of these remedies and alternative medicines on here are excellent and I've been using them for quite sometime never knowing there was a website that was putting them out there for anyone.

My question is do you think the BHT would work for him since he is pretty bad off? Today he just got labs done today and his liver enzymes are high. Alt-62, ALK203, AST-119. Renal panel, Creatinine 145, BUN-40. All of his other labs are fine at this moment in time. What do you think. Do you think he is a candidate for BHT?"

12/22/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Anon, Yes, this is a truly exceptional forum. Now it is a given that many of the treatments discussed here do NOT have any official approval. That is understood or should be by all participants. But NO treatment that is not funded by what I refer to as BIG PHARMA ever will get official approval for diseases including hepatitis C and AIDS. When we are discussing those two diseases there are a very many billions of dollars for those two diseases alone. I want you to know that the AIDS virus is among those lipid coated viruses BHT has proven itself to be at there very least helpful.

There was a lot of interest and awareness about BHT as a treatment for any and all lipid coated viruses back in the 1980s and 1990s. That awareness has by and large disappeared. Also, I did dig up that toxicology statement, that gives BHT a NOEL [ no-observered-effects-level ] of what works out to 1, 250mg of BHT per day for a 110 pound person. And also that PHYSIOLOGICAL REVIEWS article that shows a 22% to 31% average lifespan increase in mice dosed with BHT over their entire lifetimes compared to undosed mice.

Those two extremely well researched statements put the lie to all this crap people grab onto about how bad BHT is supposed to be for people. And then it was proved that BHT occurred naturally in at least some phytoplankton. That was always another lie used to discredit BHT. It was supposedly unnatural and therefore bad for you.

So, at the very least: BHT is good for you taken in the dosages myself and others have been discussing for many years now and there is significant evidence growing that indeed it is a very powerful anti-viral for lipid coated viruses of many types including hepatitis C and the AIDS virus.

And if you dare to discuss BHT as an effective treatment in many of these forums they will come up with some reason to ban you and delete your postings. Yes this BHT really does work. And it is long past the time people should have been looking into just how well it does work. It is truly amazing stuff especially when compared to the conventional treatments that seem to always include some variation of interferon. Read the postings in these forums about the devasting results many people experience with these treatments.

They cost many thousands of dollars per year per person and do NOT work very well for a very many of those people. And a very many relapse within a few years if they do work. You understand what I am talking about. I could go on and on....Oscar"

12/23/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Garrett from Oklahoma City, I will do my best to address your concerns. Now obviously your Uncle is very sick. He not only has hepatitis C, but also: liver cancer and some type of kidney failure. This kidney failure is one of the well known side effects of the conventional treatments.

I am not a doctor and therefore cannot speak with the authority of an MD. BUT: I do know a lot about the use of BHT to treat hepatitis C and other conditions. I obviously cannot promise a successful outcome for your uncle. Who can with someone suffering three life threatening conditions?

BHT therapy may be the ONLY hope left for him.

1. BHT is an effective treatment for hepatitis C.

2. BHT does not harm the liver or kidneys in the dosages I have been discussing.

3. There is substantial evidence that BHT at the very least prevents cancer. That evidence is based on Dr. Denham Harman`s mice studies and that of others also. It is worth noting that in Dr. Harman`s studies that the mice he used in some of his earliest studies had a propensity for getting cancer and that with those cancer prone mice: an average lifespan increase of between 45% and 50% was achieved. Dr. Harman`s critics were those that critised his studies BECAUSE the mice he was dosing with BHT had a propensity for getting cancer and stated that ALL he was doing was preventing those mice from getting cancer and that is what accounted for this dramatic average lifespan increase.

Very many other such studies have been done with mice and other mammals by a very many others. The results of those studies show an average lifespan increase in mice dosed with BHT over their entire lifetimes of between 22% and 31% as discussed in this PHYSIOLOGICOL REVIEWS article: http://physrev.physiology.org/content/87/4/1175/T3.expansion.html

So, there is a whole lot of evidence available that BHT has a lot going for it, and that it is relatively safe taken in the dosages I have been discussing. 200mg to 1,000mg of BHT per day taken with a gulp of water on an empty stomach.

Because your uncle is as sick as he is: I do suggest he start out with no more than one 350mg capsule of BHT per day and see how he responds to this treatment. I also suggest that simple test I have discussed in the past: open up a capsule and empty the contents onto a small dish. Then lick your finger and daub it onto the BHT crystals and lick those BHT crystals off that finger. In your Uncle`s case I recommend waiting at least 2 hours to check for any adverse reaction. Also, I do highly recommend that 2 tablespoons of olive oil be taken seperately from the BHT, not at the same time, waiting at least 2 hours before or after BHT dosing. Your uncle is very sick and every precaution needs to be taken. Please report into this forum as to how your uncle responds to this treatment if he chooses to try it....Oscar"

01/03/2012: Heather from Jerusalem, Israel replies: "Dear Oscar and group,

First off, thank you so much for bringing to light the BHT remedy for Hep-C. My friend who is now 40 received it when he still lived in what was the former Yugoslavia. Two years ago he did the one year treatment of interferon. Apart from great suffering and loss of work, it gave no benefit.

BHT can't be bought in Israel, so what I did is contact a company that formulates feed additives for animals. They use the BHT as a preservative. They gave 500gr free of charge because they buy in tons and half a kilo is nothing for them. It also came with a COA from the Chinese manufacturer stating a purity of 99.95%.

So he is taking a quarter of a teaspoon every day stirred in water (not-soluble). At first he felt as if he was floating - like a drug effect. Then he began to have temper moods. He will try it for 3 months and then have a blood sample analyzed. It costs $315 for a virus count. We will update when the time comes. So have given this info if someone can't find BHT they should approach a formulator in their region."

01/04/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "ATENTION HEATHER from Jerulsalem, THAT IS TOO much BHT!!! This is Oscar. That 1/4 teaspoon is probably at least one gram or 1, 000mg. That is too much for people to safely take at one time. I have discussed many times now the importance of starting out with small dosages and working up to one 350mg of BHT taken TWICE a day. That light headidness you mentioned is probably the result of a lowering of blood pressure.

Yes, this BHT is very effective as a treatment for hepatitis C. BUT, using a safe dosage is very important. Please tell your friend to lower the dosage as soon as you can. More is NOT better. ANY and all trying this treatment need to find a dosage they are comfortable with. They need to start with small dosages and work up to NO more than 700mg of BHT taken in two seperate dosages per day for average size adults.

This dosage issue is very important. BHT is a powerful antioxidant. Crap, I get frightened when people start buying it in bulk and start guessing as to the dosage being used based on what ? Like I said: that 1/4 teaspoon is probably at least 1,000mg. I say that because I just poured a 350mg capsule of BHT into a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon and that is my very rough estimate.

Please report back to this forum and tell me you informed your friend that he or she is taking too much BHT. Do that for me. Also, there is no need to mix the BHT with water. If purchased in bulk you can simply lick it off a teaspoon and take a gulp of water to wash it down. This is an issue I had not anticipated. I can not tell anyone what a dosage works out as in teaspoons. It is MUCH LESS than 1/4 of a teaspoon....Oscar"

01/05/2012: Susan From San Francisco from San Francisco, Ca replies: "Hi Oscar - I finally dicided that the easiest way to measure the BHT was to buy the 350mg caps and empty one into a measuring spoon. I found that a little less than one full 1/8 tsp equaled 350mgs. This is how I measure my bulk BHT. Thanks - Susan"

01/06/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Thank You Susan for this important feedback, I have done my own little experiments concerning : what is the volume measurement of 350mg of BHT measured in fractions of a teaspoon. This has become an issue because for some people the only way they can buy BHT is in bulk in some countries of the world. My experiments more or less agree with yours. This is NOT an accurate way of measuring what is a weight measurement. But some people may be forced to buy BHT in bulk and it is at least a rough estimate and that is a lot better than nothing. So, I would agree with Susan that slightly less than 1/8 th of a teaspoon is roughly 350mg. It is a rough or somewhat innaccurate way of measuring a dosage but better than no guidance. If possible I strongly recommend buying the measured capsules. Thank you very much for this helpful information Susan.

I wish to ask you if you are using the BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C or some other viral disease? If so which one ? Feedback from you and other members of this here forum is the ONLY way these questions will ever be answered because NO other forum has taken a serious interest in this and big pharma and the different governments have shown NO interest in this important treatment. They seem very determined to suppress or discredit this life saving information. I have been at this for 14 years now and that IS my conclusion. This BHT stuff really does work as an anti-viral for many of the worst viruses out there....Oscar"

01/06/2012: Dean from Las Vegas, Nevada, Usa replies: "Have been diagnosed with hepaitits c on the 1st of the year. So right away I started myself on H202 (one cap full 3 times a day) and I was going to take BHT starting on Jan 9, 2012. I would like to get some feedback on this..... Please help"

01/07/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Dean from Las Vegas, Well I can well imagine that was an unhappy New Years surprise, to find out you have hepatitis C. I want you to know you are going to beat this disease and it will not take all that long to do so with the use of BHT. In a matter of a few months at the most you will get those viral load counts down to: NO VIRUS DETECTED. As I have explained in the past: This does NOT mean you are cured. It means the BHT treatment is working. To be truly cured does take at least two years of daily dosing with BHT from my experience. But so what. This BHT is actually good for you if taken in the doses I have been discussing.

That dosage again is 350mg of BHT taken twice a day on an empty stomach with a gulp of water. Now once those viral load counts are down to: NO VIRUS DETECTED, I do think that one 350mg per day is an adequate dosage for the long term and see no reason to take more than that unless the virus shows up in some future test.

So try not to get all bummed out about this. This BHT actually does work for those willing to give it a fair try, meaning at least 6 months. Usually significant progress is shown in a few weeks, but for some people it takes a few months. Stay in touch with this forum and keep us up to date with any test results. Sincerely, ...Oscar"

01/07/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Heather, Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, your freind was taking to much of the BHT. Anytime anyone experiences side effects they need to lower the dosage of BHT. For most but not all people 350mg taken twice a day is a safe dosage. For some this is too much. There is no big hurry with this treatment. Finding a safe dosage that causes NO side effects is the goal. The treatment simply takes a bit longer at the lower dosages and is no reason to get discouraged. So, if your freind has any problems with the 350mg dosages taken twice a day: LOWER THAT DOSAGE. Some people are sensitive to BHT and they need to take less. Stay in touch with this forum and keep us informed of any problems your freind has using the BHT. Hopefully he or she will be OK with the 350mg of BHT taken twice a day. If not: Lower the dosage....Oscar"

01/07/2012: Dean from Las Vegas, Nevada, Usa replies: "I want to thank you Oscar for your reply, also should I stop the h202 or not? Thank, Dean"

01/07/2012: Heather from Jerusalem, Israel replies: "Dear Oscar - received your message loud and clear. Have told Daniel to stop immediately and let body flush the die off which must have been intense because he was complaining of muscle ache. He will stop as of today for 4- 5 days. Then resume at 1/8 tsp. Twice a day. I don't believe any harsh damage done - it is just a matter of intense die-off - right? You are concerned of a healing crisis? He eats very healthy. No junk food. Only meals with basmati rice and quinoa etc. He is a vegetarian.

Thank you so much for the clarification and concern."

01/08/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Heather from Jerusalem, This is a follow up to an earlier response from me to you. Like I said: Your freind, Daniel, was taking too much BHT. There is NO reason to get freaked out. It is extremely unlikely any cellular damage was done. From the extensive research that has been done regarding the toxicity of BHT: Even 2, 000mg of BHT per day is very unlikely to have caused any permanent damage of any sort or type. Of course he needs to lower that dosage. And you did say he is a vegetarian. I expect he is a lean and or thin person. The reason I mention that and it is important: Is because thin and or lean people are the people most prone to adverse side effects with the use of BHT. This is because BHT and it`s metabolites accumilate in fat tissues. I want Daniel to start out with no more than 1/16 of a teaspoon of BHT taken at first only once a day. Let him see if that dosage is comfortable for him. If it is, then try that 1/16th of a spoonful twice a day. If that causes any problems go back to the 1/16th of a teaspoon once a day. Even these small dosages will work, though they may take a bit longer. In fact: I was only taking 200mg of BHT per day and had the dramatic positive response I have reported so many times now and 1/16th of a teaspoon IS about 200mg of BHT. And I am NOT a thin person. I WAS a lean person back in 1997. I weighed about 175 pounds back then and am about 6 feet tall and was lean back then.

I am rethinking all this dosage stuff. I very much believe in taking the smallest effective dosage. If a small dosage works why take more ? I care so very much about everyone. I never want to cause harm to others unless are out to hurt me.

But this hepatits C is a life threatening disease and doing nothing to treat it is NOT any sort of an answer, is it ? So, in conclusion to this posting: Have Daniel try the 1/16 of a teaspoon of BHT per day with a gulp of water and let us see how he responds to that. It may very well be the correct dosage for him. Please update this forum with any test results....Oscar"

01/09/2012: Heather from Jerusalem, Israel replies: "Thank you Oscar for the concern. Daniel is indeed 1. 80m tall and weighs 70kgs - by all means he is thin. I am sure and convinced that no damage on a cellular level has been done, but the die off must have been immense because his muscles and sinews still hurt a lot. Like fibromyalgia symptoms. He is on a break since your e-mail last week from BHT. He will take barley powder to help the body flush out the dead corpses of the virus. He will resume the BHT at the very low dosage of 1/16tsp end of the week. He wishes that I convey his sincere thanks to you. We will keep in touch."

01/10/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Heather, Thank you for staying in touch with this forum and me. It has become increasingly clear to me from the feedback provided by you and others in the different frorums: That thin and lean people NEED to take less BHT to achieve the desired results and that to take more is NOT good.

From the many toxicology reports I have read: BHT and its metabolites accumulate in fat tissues. So: The less fat tissue you have the less BHT is required to achieve the desired results and to take more BHT than is desired does result in undesired side effects. You want to keep the blood free of intact viral particles, but not to leach the essential lipid stuctures of the required lipids. I do suggest any lean or thin person to include at least 2 tablespoons of olive oil per day in their diets while using this treatment. It is very important that this olive oil or any other oil be taken seperately from the BHT and not to be mixed with the BHT. Wait at least one hour before ingesting any oil or fat after taking the BHT to insure that the BHT and it`s metabolites seek out those lipid coated viruses. This BHT treatment does work. The details as to how best use this treatment ARE being worked out thanks to your feedback and that of others also.

I do think the side effects your friend Daniel had is the result of a depletion of the lipids that make up the sheathing of nerve cells, very much like the sort of problems that occur with electrical wires that have inadequate plastic sheathing. Electrical current spill over, and shorted circuits. In fact: the chemical makeup of the sheathing of electrical wires is very much the same chemical makeup of nerve sheathing: A very high hydrocarbon content.

So, in conclusion: Thin and or lean people generally need and desire less BHT to acheive the desired result: The destruction of lipid coated viruses. And, this includes an adequate source of high quality lipids such as olive oil will go a long ways in preventing side effects....Oscar"

01/14/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "We have three forum members who did report positive results with the use of BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C, and if I include myself that is four of us. Other than that all we hear from are those having problems with this treatment.

So, if you tried this treatment and have some positive results to report it is time for you to say so. If not, I am getting very reluctant to continue promoting it. I have no desire to cause anyone any sort of discomfort for no good reason.

So, like I said: If this treatment is working for you say so. Otherwise I am through with all this. The only people reporting in are those experiencing problems and if that is all anyone is willing to discuss I am tired of it all. It is up to you if you wish to try BHT or not. If people are having good results this forum and I need to hear from you....Oscar"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  01/15/2012: Dave from Wayne, Nj replies: "Today is Sun. Jan. 15th 2012. I began using BHT on Jan. 6th 2012. My Hep C never bothered me until August of 2011. About the middle of the month I began to be very sensitive to the sun and soon after developed a serious itching problem. Along with this my urine became very dark (orange to almost brown) and my stools became ultra pale to almost white. I could feel my liver was in an enlarged condition every time I inhaled deeply or ate too much. My appetite fluctuated from good to poor but no matter what I slowly lost 15 pounds from 178 to 163 or so. I found this web site, read Oscars posts, and decided to give BHT a try. After 3 days my urine returned to a normal color. It then became a little darker for a couple days but has since returned to normal again. My stools are slowly returning to a normal color (not there yet) and consistency (I failed to mention I had diarrhea since mid August). As of now I am very hopeful that this is working. I still don't feel perfect but do feel well. My liver feels quite normal, size wise, and I am energized again (felt like crap for a long time). I will post again with my progress. Good luck to all and thanks Oscar."

01/16/2012: Toad from Bainer, Lss replies: "Figure I should give a little update. I haven't been to the doctor or had any blood test since I started bht treatments. These are just my personal observations.

I do feel better, digestion seems to be working better, better appetite and general feeling well. My family says I even look better. I have also gained a little weight back 5 or 10 pounds.

I will be getting blood work done in a week or so, and will post those results when I get them.

Oscar, I believe your doing good work here, I would be totally lost if I hadn't found this site. I know you get discouraged from folks not posting back with better results. I have just been taking bht for about 6 weeks. I have had no serious problems taking the dose I been taking. 400 mg in the morning and 200 mg in the evening when I have a empty stomach.

best regards,

Toad"

01/17/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Thank you Dave from NJ for this important feedback. Also Toad from Bainer and S from Sacramento. All three of these people are reporting significant noticable improvement. I want all three of you and the rest of the forum also to know: That, this is exactly the sort of improvement I first experienced. I felt better, stronger, looked better, and had improvement in my digestion and my urine looked normal again within about 2 weeks of this treatment. I also did NOT feel totally well. For me that took about 4 weeks of treatment with the BHT. In my opinion your initial response is every bit as good as mine was and is very good reason to believe the treatment is working.

People do not become symptomatic until their livers are thoroughly infected with this viral disease. The sort of improvement these people describe is significant especially when such improvement is shown after such short periods of treatment as described by these people.

Yes, it is very important to address the problems some people experience with this treatment. And there is every reason to beleive it takes longer for some than others. How could it be otherwise? But some positive feedback from those experiencing improvement is very important also. Thank all of you for reporting into this forum with these very positive initial responses to the use of BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C....Oscar"

01/17/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Dean from Las Vegas, In my opinion: using BHT while using the H2O2 [ hydrogen peroxide ] is NOT a good idea. One of the better known chemical reactions that transpires in mixing the two is the deactivation of two molecules of H202 as described here at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butylated_hydroxytoluene#Reactions

So, in my opinion you in effect do have two compounds working against each other. I could be wrong about that. I really do not know with any certainty. In my opinion the BHT works very well by itself as a treatment for hepatitis C....Oscar"

01/18/2012: Bigshow6666 from Oklahoma City, Ok, Us replies: "My uncle has been taking 350 mg of BHT now for nine days now. My question to Oscar is, should he be feeling more tired this is really the only side effect he has since he started taking it. He really doesn't feel any different. Should I tell him start taking it twice a day or continue once in the am?"

01/19/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Bigshow, The questions you ask me are hard to answer with so little information to work with.

My most immediate concern is how sick is your Uncle? Also: How old is he? Does he have other health concerns such as any sort of heart problems?

From what little you have told me: He does not appear to be suffering any serious side effect with the use of BHT. Being tired and such is a common if not universal effect of having hepatitis C along with many other symptoms also.

That 350mg dosage once per day should be a safe dosage. Stay with that for now. He has only been taking the BHT for nine days. This BHT treatment does take some time before people start to feel better. Even for those who respond very well to the BHT treatment a few weeks of treatment are required before noticable improvement is experienced. The liver is constantly producing new cells. The way this treatment works is by preventing any uninfected cells from becoming infected. This allows for enough healthy cells to come into existence to allow for normal liver function. This does take at least a few weeks for people experiencing liver failure.

Also: How much does your uncle weigh? Is he a thin or lean person? Is he having any liver function tests being done? This hepatitis C is a life threatening disease. He should be having liver function tests being done to track said liver function on a weekly basis if possible.

The first goal with this BHT treatment is to achieve healthy liver function. It took me about 4 weeks of BHT treatment to get there and I was experiencing liver failure. Now for you and everyone else out there: Achieving normal liver function results does NOT mean you are cured. That requires years of daily dosing with BHT.

The reason why that is true is because: Any person can have normal liver function with as little as 10% of the liver functioning properly. You need to keep taking the BHT for at least 2 years and probably more than that to ensure there are no infected cells left.

BHT can NOT uninfect a living liver cell. BHT taken on a daily basis can ensure that no uninfected cells become infected. And it does follow that: If no new cells become infected a true CURE is achieved eventually because every cell that makes up any person`s liver is a new cell about every year or so.

It is NOT the same as taking an antibiotic for some bacterial infection.

From the little you have told me I suggest your uncle keep taking only one 350mg per day of BHT and let's see if he shows some improvement or not and take it from there. Any information you can provide as to his weight, liver function and such will be helpful....Oscar"

01/19/2012: Garrett from Oklahoma City replies: "Bigshow6666 is my alias, my name is Garrett I spoke with about a month ago on a previous hep c blog on earth clinic about my uncle and gave you liver enyzme levels which were highly elevated he weighs 190 pnds and slightly jaundice in the eyes. His renal panel is elevated as well. He just went to get tested again but results are not just yet. They doctor is wanting to drain his ascities next week because they say it is getting worse. He still is continuing to take the BHT 350 mg- should he take twice a day?"

01/20/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Garrett AKA Bigshow, Well, from what you just told me your uncle is having some very serious medical problems. I would NOT and never will second guess his treating doctors. This ascities is a serious condition most often associated with cirrhosis. For sure go along with any procedure such as this draining you discussed the treating doctor decides upon. This is a relatively simple procedure.

Now as to increasing his BHT dosage: If and only if no improvement is shown in his liver function tests since he began using the BHT treatment increase the dosage of BHT to: one 350mg of BHT TWICE a day every other day and see if there is improvement in his liver function tests at that dosage.

Now you also mentioned that your uncle is having kidney trouble. Obviously this is another serious condition. And is an additional reason to proceed with caution with the BHT treatment. This is another reason for taking as little of the BHT as is necessary to effect improvement in his liver function.

On a note of encouragement: I weigh about the same as your uncle [ 190 pounds ]. Also, I have and had only one kidney when I successfully treated my hepatitis C infection with the use of low dose BHT treatments back in 1997. Keep in touch with me in this forum with any and all test results. I am hoping some improvement will be shown in his next liver function tests. If no improvement is shown: Then go ahead and increase the dosage to: one 350mg capsule of BHT Twice a day, every other day and let us see how that works. I am very concerned because your uncle is as sick as he is and want to proceed with a great deal of caution regarding the BHT treatments.

Also: Is your uncle now taking one of the different interferon treatments or not? I expect he is but do not know that. I am NOT saying he should not be, I simply want to know all I can as to what is going on with him. I very much want to see him get well and will do my best to provide helpful information. Because of his kidney problems I do suggest he take: one cup of pure cranberry juice [ NOT some cranberry juice cocktail ] per day. This cranberry juice is a well know means of cleansing the kidneys. Stay in touch, ...Oscar"

01/20/2012: Bigshow6666 from Oklahoma City, Ok, Us replies: "Hey Oscar, Yeah he did take that interferon therapy for about a year and we think that might of actually caused him to become even more ill. As I told you in a blog he has been battling hep c for over 30 years and did very well before the therapy. He just gave me this weeks lab results from this week. He gets lab done every three weeks.

Three weeks ago his labs were as follows, ALT-62, ALK203, AST119. Creatinine 1.45, and BUN 40. This week after nine days of taking BHT once a day 350mg his labs are ALT-73, ALK158, AST-126, Creat-1.46, and BUN 39. Most are really unchanged but the ALK is 25% lower than three weeks ago. I'm not sure if that is because of the BHT or because of the filtered water he is now drinking, or chamomile tea he is drinking. I read on here chanca piedra is good for the kidneys but we haven't tried that yet. And do you think milk thistle could help now as well? About the paracentesis- he is going to go ahead and do that because it is necessary because he is so bad off. I don't know if we should be excited about the ALK at 158 or not. What do you think?"

01/21/2012: Truthbetold from Madison, Alabama, Usa replies: "Oscar, been following this BHT thread for awhile. It is making more sense as I investigate on my own. Question - How do we minimize the potential destructive impact on the lipid coating of normal cells, if this is an issue? Have yours or any other members research addressed this?

I started about a week ago on 350 mg capsules from VRP twice a day on empty stomach and take either 1 Tablespoon of EV Olive Oil or Nutive Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, one hour after taking BHT.

I have HCV type 1b, last VL Count 275,000 (highest it has ever been) over the decades I have had HCV. I got it from Military, Vietnam Era back in 1970, even though they reject the notion it was from them (VA). For awhile I would be diagnosed as Non AB and no one knew what that was.

My ALTs remain steady averaging 125 and AST remain steady averaging 60.

I was diagnosed with liver chirottic in nature, no ascites, negative on the last EGD, slightly enlarged spleen, slightly elevated iron, somewhat low platelet count (averaging 125 and it has been this level as far back as the medical records I have). All else seems to be fine.

I have not had a biopsy yet as VA said it is not necessary and that the complications are high.

The VA wanted and still is trying to get me to go on the Treatments, especially with the new 3rd drug they added. I am 58, 6'5", 225 lbs, and other than HCV, I think I am pretty healthy. The VA said I would be a good candidate for elimination of the virus since it continues to be what they consider low, even though I am a black male, over 40, with type 1b. I don't feel comfortable about this option.

Your opinion on if there is any negative potential of me also having started the 3 type treatment of Dr. Berkston (Milk Thistle, Selenium, ALA). Is there any potential conflict on the results by doing them both, that you are aware of? I do not do anything within 1 hour before or after BHT.

I am not online very often but I finally decided to try this thread. Please be patient if I do not get back on very often. I do check from time to time and read as much as I can. I forgot to mention, I did try acupuncture for awhile and my platelet count increased to 140 for a short time but insurance does not cover it so I had to stop. I also take pharmaceutical grade Vitamin C at 2.5-5.0 grams."

[YEA]  01/21/2012: Cm from Wilmington, Nc replies: "Dear Oscar, day 49 of BHT twice a day, not always taken on a empty stomach, but have taken 2 350 doses for 49 days. I do feel my energy level is better. Before starting BHT I would mentally crash mid afternoon or 6 at the latest, I mean just be in a fog. Bowel movements seem better as well.

I am 51 and have probably had Hep C since I was 16, I contacted Hep B then from needles and the Dr.'s could never get my liver levels straight at that point. I believe it was called non A non B Hep. back then. I have stage 3 cirrhosis, did my interferon ribaviron treatment at Duke for a year and it came right back, and was told after liver biopsy that I had stage 3 cirrhosis.

I have a year's supply of BHT, scared big brother will find out and some how stop the availability of it. I HAVE HOPE!!! Fatty food, red meat mainly would ruin me for days and I had a nice steak the other night with no liver pain period. I will check back in and thanks to everyone that post on here. I have gotten so much positive information as well as just knowing there are others in the same situation.

Thanks Oscar!!!

01/21/2012: Art from Vancover, Canada replies: "Dear Oscar! I wish earth clinic would keep all these posts in order by date as they are very hard to follow and all mixed up. Please don't be discouraged by all the nay Sayers and complainers here. I am 1A positive and went on the pegetron (poison) 9 Years ago for 48 weeks and had to keep reminding myself that it was only the pegetron that was making me so depressed and sick. I asked my doctor how long it would take to flush it out of my system and he told me about 5 years. It took me 9 years to recover and now my stools have stopped turning white about once a month. Very scary and unsettling I might add. My urine never changed that much in color. My doctor ordered quarterly blood tests and told me it's not if you get cancer but when. So we will check your liver enzymes for that. They have been up and down over the last nine years and he told me that mine seem to fluctuate but it's normal. Over the last nine years the labs have hacked up my arms so badly that I quit getting blood tests, it was just too discouraging. I think I was getting all the trainees as the last time after three tries in my right arm and four in my left I just gave up.

Now I want to tell you that since reading your posts last week that I stumbled upon, I am very excited about this BHT therapy. My symptoms now are a pain in my right lower side more than not. I run out of energy very fast and get a lot of bloating which seems to pinch my liver between my stomach and my ribs and nod off a lot in the afternoon. I weigh 205lbs and get lots of body aches. For those living in Canada I would like to add that in Montreal there is a company called UNIPEX SOLUTIONS that sell food grade BHT. I hope I am allowed to say that because I received my order from VRP and was charged $20.00 shipping on a $6.95 bottle.

Anyway I took one 350 mg cap yesterday at 3:30pm and the side effects were a little to strong. Unbalanced, anxiety, and nervousness. So I split one cap at 7.30am this morning and another at 2.30pm and the side effects were there but not as strong and only last a couple of hours. I can notice the difference already, I have more energy and the pain in my lower right side seems to be subsiding. My body aches are less as well and this is only a day and a half into it. Once the side effects diminish I will go up to 350mg and see how that goes. I am sure I will have more positive things to post the next time.

Oscar, I want to thank you so much for the good thing you have done for us. I am sure this will get better and better as more people self medicate."

01/22/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Truthbetold, From what you have told me I see NO reason for you to be concerned about including Dr. Berkston`s treatment along with the BHT as long as the BHT is taken seperately from, not at the same time as the other supplements you discussed. Wait at least one hour after taking the BHT before taking any other supplements because BHT will interact with other supplements in totally unpredictable ways if mixed with them.

You seem to be in reasonably good health and are a large man, so the 350mg capsules of BHT taken twice a day should be well in the safe zone as to dosage. Also, because you are a large person it does seem to me that 2 tablespoons of olive oil would be advisable as a means of preventing any possible negative impact on lipid sructures such as nerve sheathing.

Because you are a large person: If and only if no significant improvement is shown a larger dose of BHT may be required. I do think the two capsules of 350mg of BHT will be enough. If no significant improvement is shown go to a third 350mg capsule of BHT every other day. Please keep this forum informed as to your results.

Also, I can NOT give any advice as to taking the prescribed treatments. Some people DO respond well to them. Others do not. Perhaps giving the BHT a couple of months trial before trying these other treatments will work very well. You have had hepatitis C for a long time now so I do not see any compelling reason for getting started immediately on some new treatment that might harm you. But this is a descision you have to make for yourself....Oscar"

01/22/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Art from Vancover Canada, Great to hear from you Art. I do get concerned that the people I most often hear from are those experiencing problems with this BHT treatment or those that don`t get well very rapidly. It does take some time. Not all that much time, but at least a few weeks and for some a few months. Many of these people are very sick and have been for a long time. It takes time for a severely infected liver to heal.

I think there is a lot of confusion as to how BHT works. BHT can NOT uninfect an infected liver cell in the way antibiotics work with bacterial infections. Viral infections are much harder to treat. What BHT can do is insure that the bloodstream remains free of intact viral particles and thereby prevent any uninfected liver cells from becoming infected. But because the liver is constantly creating new liver cells as the old and or infected ones die off, eventually a true cure occurs. That does take years of daily dosing with BHT. But a return to good health can often be realized in a matter of a few weeks or a few months depending on how infected a person`s liver is.

With as little as 10% of the liver functioning properly NO symptums will be detected. This was explained to me by the surgeon who treated me for a gunshot wound that removed two thirds of my liver along with my right kidney.

Anyway, this BHT really does work. It takes longer for some than others. Dramatic positive results are often shown in a matter of only a few weeks for many, for others a few months.

Thank you very much for your encouragement. I DO NEED SOME, now and then....Oscar"

01/22/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Great hearing from you Cm from Wilmington NC, Yes, this BHT really does work. I also just stocked up on BHT because of concerns about BIG BROTHER. I no longer have HCV or HBV or any indication I ever did as of 2006. I continue to take BHT to prevent the many viral infections BHT has been proven to both prevent and treat along with it`s well proven life extension properties. You are getting well and I am very happy to hear from you. This BHT stuff really does work. Thank you for your posting....Oscar"

01/22/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Bigfoot, Well these initial test results are inconclusive because there is no significant change and the earlier test results were done prior to his beginning the BHT treatment. But, a baseline has now been established. Never the less: have your uncle try the: one capsule of 350mg of BHT taken TWICE a day every other day. If he has ANY significant adverse effect go back to one 350mg of BHT only once a day. This BHT really does work, but the dosage issue is a tricky one for some people. Also include that 1 tablespoon of olive oil after waiting at least one hour before or after taking the BHT. And, I do very much recommend that one cup of pure cranberry juice once a day for anyone experiencing kidney problems. This cranberry juice worked for me when nothing else did for a chronic kidney infection and was prescribed to me by a knowledgable urologist at the time.

I want you and your uncle to know this BHT worked for me very well when I was in a state of liver failure. It did take about 4 weeks for my liver function tests to return to normal readings. I have only one kidney. I also have and had a very damaged liver. I lost my right kidney and most of my liver as the result of a really bad gunshot wound in Vietnam. What is left of my liver is now where that right kidney used to be. So I also was up against it so to speak with this hepatitis C and now have no indication I was ever infected with HCV and also hepatitis B that I also became infected with as a result of the many blood transfusions at the time of this gunshot wound [ 1968 ]. The only treatment I ever used was this BHT treatment.

So do not get discouraged. This BHT stuff really does work. With your uncle this requires carefull attention to liver function test results and adjusting the BHT dosage accordingly. Also, I see no harm in taking milk thistle as long as it is taken seperately, not at the same time as the BHT. As long as you do NOT take large doses of it....Oscar"

01/22/2012: Truthbetold from Madison, Alabama, Usa replies: "Thanks Oscar, I appreciate your input! Thought we might have lost you based on your discouragement from lack of positive feedback from more people. Getting discouraged is natural and okay. Just don't let the discouragement hinder you from doing what you feel will help someone. Sail through the discouragement and continue as you are being led.

I can't afford to have my bloodwork weekly or monthly, so I don't know when the next time I will get it. However, when I do, I will post any changes.

I want to clear up that I am not as large as it sounds in my description. As a matter of fact, being 6'5" I appear underweight to some people. But I am going to monitor closely the impact of the BHT regimine. As of now, I have had no negative symptons (that I can tell).

I to would have liked to see more people who have had positive responses to post them across the various websites. But what can you do! It is like the 10 leapers that Jesus healed, only 1 came back to say thank you.

To the feedback I saw on how to assist my platelet count. THANKS for the TIP! as I write this I can't see the your name and I dont remember it. But I will next time! I have to get used to how to respond so I can see the entire thread while I am replying.

Thanks again to you and Oscar."

01/23/2012: Ari from Waynesville, Missouri replies: "OSCAR! I am very pleased with your experience with BHT. I honestly believe in your experience. You provide much factual information. I am a young woman seeking help for my fiance. He's only 24 and was diagnosed with Hep C about two years ago when he gave blood at a local blood drive, they sent him a letter informing him that he had this nasty virus. It has broken my heart thinking about this evil thing and I desperately want anything that will make him better. Since we dont know exactly when and how he got Hep C its hard to tell where he stands EXACTLY. So I recently scheduled him an appointment and he had a blood test and I believe the doctors said he only had 125,000 strands of the virus. I thought that was a lot until I saw some people struggle with their virus in the millions. :(

I have the website bookmarked of where to get BHT(posted from you above). He is about 180lbs as well so about 350 should be good for him. I am also going to try having him take milk thistle and grapefruit juice everyday. For the past month hes has a continuous strand of vitamin C going through his body because we heard keeping a constant amount helps. Any feedback on that? We are going to try this and I pray that it helps!!! So glad I found this! Will be posting more."

01/23/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Cm from Wilmington, NC, I am glad to hear from you and to learn you are responding as well as you are to the BHT treatment. The fact that your digestion has improved sinificantly is a very good indication the treatment is working. An improvement in my digestion is one of the first things I noticed when I first began this treatment back in 1997 when I was quite sick with what was diagnosed as hepatitis C with a failing liver by the Veterans Administration.

You have been living with this disease for a long time now. This treatment does work and you are getting better. Also, there is very good reason for you to anticipate a full recovery in spite of the liver damage you discussed. The liver has a very remarkable ability to recover from even severe damage once the cause of this damage is eliminated as in a hepatis C infection. Once the new cells are no longer becoming infected, thanks to the BHT treatments the liver recovers.

Now I want you and everyone else out there to know: A true CURE is achievable with daily dosing with BHT for at least 2 years. If you tolerate the BHT well you need to keep taking it to achieve this true cure. I don`t know how many years, only that it happens eventually. It did for me. I know this because I was asked by the VA why I had checked that I had tested positive for both hepatitis C and B in a questionaire I filled out when I moved to a new VA regional facility. I was told they tested me again and that I showed NO sign I had ever been infected with both the HCV and the HBV. I told the person questioning me that I had been tested and restested in Boston and was positive for both in 1997 and was diagnosed as having hepatitis C with a failing liver. This person did NOT believe me UNTIL I guided her back to those medical records from Boston. She did not know what to make of it because this was unheard of and she attributed it to SPONTANIOUS RECOVERY.

It is because of the BHT treatments and nothing else. I was NEVER given any treatment by the VA. This BHT really does work.

Thank you so very much for your feedback, ...Oscar"

01/23/2012: Art from Vancover, Bc Canada replies: "Dear Oscar! I am encouraged and hope that truthbetold and I and any new posters can give more support to you. I wish earth clinic could lump all posts on BNT dated in one area. I had to scroll back through many other posts to find your reply. Funny thing is after praying for the master to help me I found your posts. Any way I have noticed a difference with the pain in my lower right side being diminished over the past for days. Also I have had chest pain on the left side of my chest that is also diminishing. I have been checked over for this and they can't find anything. I am very hopeful that this will work and I don't mind taking it for the rest of my life for good health. I wonder if there is some significance to the mickydees cheese burger which sat on a lady's kitchen counter for one year without rotting. LOL. You can see it on youtube if I am allowed to say.

Anyway I am beginning to feel better after four days and get very excited about this. I know I will have some downs to go with the ups but I feel it will be more ups. Three yers ago the task of putting a dress mirror on the wall was very overwhelming. Last summer I did not have the energy to use the weed whacker over 30' of distance and got very exhausted. This year I managed to spend 3 hours clearing snow with my electric 16" snow snow thrower and felt pretty good. That is a big improvement over last year of being overwhelmed at the task. I will be posting my good results as the time goes by.

Thank you Oscar for your help, you are a life saver and my wife is grateful as well."

01/23/2012: Dave from Wayne, Nj replies: "BHT post 2 -- Today is the 16th day of 350mg BHT tablets taken twice a day with a gulp of water as prescribed by the master of recovery, Oscar. I do not have any extraordinary physical results to report but, the change in how I feel mentally and emotionally is tremendous. Only two weeks ago I was completely consumed by how poorly I felt and how worried I was about the future. Because of Oscar's persistence, and the responses of some of you who are also trying this treatment, I started, and I urge anyone who is on the fence about BHT to follow Oscar's advise too. It may still be too soon for me to have physical results that are worth documenting, but the little things that are part of recovery, like ones attitude toward living, are just as important to me, and worth mentioning here. I will continue to post once a week or so and wish all of you all the best. "

01/26/2012: Bugfighter1970 from Tucson, Az replies: "Try Monolaurin for Hep C. Also Milk Thistle and Colloidal Silver. I was a nurse at a drug treatment program and many of our clients told me they used these and they did well. I use Monolaurin (made from coconut) for lyme disease, cleaned up a MRSA infection and Herpes I cold sores (it works for all types of herpes infections) with it. I buy Inspired Nutrition Brand on web. They use to sell on Amazon but I no longer see them there.Works great. They have a website. Lasts me six months or more. It has info on internet for use with some infections and you can probably call them direct for info. Also Google monolaurin and there is info. Milk Thistle also has info."

01/26/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Art from Vancover, It is so very encouraging to hear from you, Truthbetold, and others. Like you: The improvement for me with the use of BHT to treat hepatitis C was rapid and dramatic. I had been so very sick and within about one week I was feeling so much better. I could eat regular food again and felt so much stronger, better. It was not my imagination. I was being carefully monitored by the VA [ Veterans Administration ]. Having weekly liver function tests and such that showed a very real improvement in my liver function in one week of the BHT treatments. And, after 4 weeks of the BHT treatments all my liver function tests were in the NORMAL ranges and NO VIRUS was detected in my blood tests. It truly did amaze me. I have been doing my best to make people aware of all this ever since that time.

And it is only thanks to the CONTACT EARTH CLINIC that more than a few people are taking a serious look at all this. There have been others in other forums, but not very many. Thank you Ted and this forum for allowing this life saving information a chance to be told. And thank each and every one of you for providing the all important feedback [ good and bad ] for making it possible to come up with some real answers as to how best to use this treatment and come up with answers for those experiencing negative side effects....Oscar"

Report results."

01/27/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Hepabvictim from Hyd, India, In my experience and opinion based on that experience: The BHT does indeed work very well for hepatitis B also. I had both of those diseases as a result of many blood transfusions back in 1968.

I first started using the BHT in 1997 because I was sick with the hepatitis C, but my blood tests also indicated I had been exposed to hepatitis B. In 2006 I was told by the VA [ Veterans Administration ] there is NO indication from the blood tests done at that time: That I had ever been exposed to hepatitis C or hepatitis B.

Also, hepatitis B is very much a lipid coated virus the same as hepatitis C is. The evidence is that BHT is an effective treatment for a very many lipid coated viruses. So, in my opinion: The BHT works very well for hepatitis B also. If you choose to give the BHT a try I would very much appreciate you posting the results of your use of BHT to treat hepatitis B. From the feedback available at this time: For average size adults, one 200mg to 350mg of BHT taken twice a day on an empty stomach with a gulp of water is what works best. I very much advise NOT mixing the BHT with any other supplements at the time it is ingested. Wait at least one hour before taking any other medicines to prevent undesired interactions that will occur in the stomach and duodenum. Just wait one hour before taking anything else other than water. Wishing you the best, a return to good health, ...Oscar"

02/04/2012: Strongwill from Smallville, Ohio replies: "Dear Oscar, I recently (yesterday) found out that my pregnant fiance's ex-boyfriend has been diagnosed with Hep-C..... She has two children by him and needless to say we are all scared to death that one or maybe all of us have it because the hospital said he has had it for quite some time. Everybody is going to get checked out within the next week.

I am writing you this post becuase in the event that I am diagnosed with it I WILL try your BHT treatment and I WILL repost on the effects. If I, or none of my family, have the virus I will still try to get my fiance's Ex to try the BHT. I have never liked the asshole much.... He chose drugs over his own children. I have been their male figure and raising and supporting them, but being faced with the possability of having the virus myself makes me feel for him. This might be his eye-opener to how precious life and his children are.

If he agrees to take the BHT I will also re-post on how well it works for him. I cannot explain to you how relieved I am to read your posts Oscar, they have given me hope that even if I do have the virus, I will be able to treat and possibly cure myself. Keep up the good work man! I will be praying for everyone on here as well as me and my own, That we do not have it, and that whoever does is cured! Will update when I have more info.... take care."

02/06/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Strongwill from Smallville, Good hearing from you. You seem like a very good man. Hey, didn't SUPERMAN grow up in your home town? Listen, try not to get frightened about this hepatitis C stuff. This BHT stuff really does work. Thanks to a growing number of this forum`s members the details such as dosages and such are being worked out right here in this forum.

Also: It almost always takes many years before a hepatitis C infection reaches the point where people's livers begin to fail. So if you find out any of your family is infected: You and they are not at the point of liver failure and some daily dosing with the BHT should ensure that you and they NEVER will be.

This is not based on wishful thinking. BHT's ability to effectively treat many lipid coated viruses was established back in the 1970s and 1980s. And, hepatitis C is very much a lipid coated virus. It really is sad that all that research has been ignored by the medical establishment as much as it has. Anyway, wishing you and your family well. I very much hope none of you are infected. But try not to get freaked if some are. This BHT really does work....Oscar"

02/09/2012: Garrett from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma replies: "UPDATE. So It's been I think a little over three weeks since my uncle's last test results. He has now been on BHT for a month now and for at least two weeks has been taking 350 mg twice a day. He still is very weak and very swollen in the abdomen. Three weeks ago his ALT was 73 it is now 64. AST was 126 it is now 116. My question to you Oscar is this, a step in the right direction or is it not a change really at all? His renal panel hasn't changed much at all but still elevated."

02/10/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Garrett from Oklahoma City, Well, with 3 weeks of the BHT treatment your uncle is showing dramatic liver function improvement. If we can get your uncle`s liver funtioning properly that in and of itself is vitally important, obviously.

Hopefully, as time goes by, his kidney function will improve also. Now there are important diffferences between the liver and the kidneys. Simply put: The liver is constantly and rapidly producing new cells and the kidneys do not do so in such a rapid manner.

Do NOT get discouraged. I have some experience to draw on here. As I mentioned earlier in one of my postings: I lost my right kidney along with most of my liver due to a rather severe gunshot wound. I was told by the surgeon who operated on me that: 1. I had lost most of my liver. The entire lower lobe. BUT that my liver would renew itself and be pretty much normal if I did not die from complications. And 2. I had lost my entire right kidney also, but that: My left kidney would get bigger to compensate for the loss of the right kidney and I could live a very much normal life with only one kidney if I did not die of complications.

My point is that: If your uncle`s liver can recover from this hepatitis C infection there is good reason to believe his kidneys can also recover also given time. I expect this bloating you have discussed may be the result of kidney failure along with liver failure. What have his doctors said about this ?

At least his kidney function has not gotten any worse at this time and his liver has shown very significant improvement. He has only been on the BHT treatment 3 weeks. It does take some time for these large organs to heal themselves and to show improvement in function.

In conclusion: Stick with the BHT regemine you are using because it is working. It takes time for these large organs to heal. Also I do recommend one cup of PURE cranberry juice per day for people experiencing kindney problems. It is an excellent kidney flush, it cleanses the kidneys. Do not overdue it. More is NOT better....Oscar"

I would really like to see more positive results from more people (I know you asked people to respond, but it looks like people didn't).

Thanks!"

07/18/2012: Heather from Jerusalem, Israel: "Dear Oscar, wanted to update that Daniel concluded on first of July 6 months of BHT intake: 1/8 tsp in water first thing in the AM. Of course he admits that he missed a morning here and there. (Daniel is the one who was taking 1/2 a tsp and you shouted it was way too much - indeed he had muscle aches and other side effects - all gone since reducing dosage to 1/8tsp).

His viral count before BHT was 1,150,000.

he got the results today of blood work he took two weeks ago: only 250,000!!!

He is very happy. Sends you his sincere gratitude. He will of course continue for another duration of 6 months and we are praying for a ND result.

We commend you on your devoted help to humanity all over the world. More power to you."

07/19/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Heather, Thank you very much for reporting back to the EARTH CLINIC with Daniel`s test results. This feedback is so very important. It is the only way this life saving information can get out to the other people who are infected with hepatitis C. So if I am reading you correctly Daniel is achieving these results using about 350mg of BHT once a day with water on an empty stomach. I recall that Daniel is on the lean side. By that I mean he is somewhat thin and does not have much fat. We are trying very hard to come up with what is a safe and effective dosage and your feedback is very helpful. Thank you so very much for reporting back to the EARTH CLINIC. That is doing your part in this effort....Oscar"

07/21/2012: Heather from Jerusalem, Israel replies: "Hello Oscar, I can't say if it is 350mg because we don't have analytical weights to verify this.

He takes the 1/8tsp with water on empty stomache twice a day. This dosage does not give him the muscle aches he experienced when he was enthusiastic and took 1/2 tsp. I wish to stress for anyone reading that the BHT he takes is Chemically Pure grade of 98. 5% checked by HPLC in an accredible lab.

He is very lean. I doubt he has more than 10% body fat. He is a laborour and works physically 6 days a week. You can see he is all muscle and bones.

The alleviation he feels is being less tired at the end of the day an he looks better - less dull.

In regards to supportive supplements: he took quercetin (studies show this inhibits the virus Hep-C), he took alph-lipoic (to enhance mitochondria respration), he took Q-10 - for same reason. But he did not take these supplements for the entire 6 months duration due to them being costly. So he would buy one and take it till it ended. There were weeks when BHT was the only thing he took.

Let me know if you have any other questions."

07/22/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Heather from Jeruselem, Thank you for your detailed and informative posting. I will pass this information on to other people I am in contact with who have hepatitis C. From an earlier posting by you about 1 week ago it seems to me that Daniel is well on his way to ridding himself of this at times deadly infection with the use of BHT taken as you have detailed in this posting I am responding to. I wish to point out that Daniel is a very physically active person. I have been encouraging people to stay physically active. Not everyone can work as hard as Daniel does. But they can at least take walks or do some other type of exercise. No matter what treatment a person tries, this exercise is important. Thank you so very much for this detailed posting Heather and Daniel. I wish you both very long, healthy, and happy lives. Sincerely, ...Oscar"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  01/22/2013: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa: "When I first started using BHT for Hepatitis (Chronic Active) I was happy to see good results, but over time it seemed as if this wasn't enough. A few days ago I began 3 250mg caps daily instead of 2, but with no results. So, I tried pre-dosing w/ 1oz Colloidal Silver, wait 30 min, take 250 mg BHT, wait 30 min, take 3 caps Echinacea or St John'sWort. My liver and overall health are improving every day as a result of this modified protocol."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  05/15/2010: Kokopeli from Nevada City, California, Usa: "Recently I tried "Boric Acid" for Hepatitis C. I took one small finger print of "Boric Acid" twice a day for three weeks. My viral load was 9.8 million titers before the Boric Acid, and my viral load went down to only 800,000 titers after the Boric Acid treatments. That is a substantial difference.

I think that maybe if I take Boric Acid for 4 weeks it might kill all of the virus in my system."

[YEA]  04/11/2009: Closedeyes from Los Angeles, CA: "I have Chronic Hepatitis B. I bought the herb in tea form called Chanca Piedra. It reduced my viral load down to 10,000,000 to 325,00 in 2 months. Had I not had such a ridiculously high viral load, I would have been cleared of this by now. I'm hoping the tests I took today will indicate I am at least down to the 10,000's.

I drank 18oz 3 times a day. The tea was made extremely dark. This site askes that you not mention brand names or websites but I got the tea for $25 from a San Diego Based company called ___. I hope it helps others. I dont know if it can help for Hep C. One bag lasts for 2 weeks. You 're looking at $50 an month. I have to stress that the tea must be made extra dark. I have a glass tea pot I put in the Microwave and then I put in the tea, let it sit over 2 tea candles for 2 to 3 hours. I think I am going to start making some to put in the fridge and just keep making several gallons full. I want to get rid of this!!!!!!

FYI It has been studied for its toxic effects against the HIV virus too!"

12/09/2009: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Closedeyes...I've written about Chanca Piedra's curative qualities here on Earth Clinic before:

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/hepatitis-b.html

http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/ayurvedic-herbs.html

The research on chanca piedra and hepatitis is also well known. Currently being researched for its effects against the AIDS virus. So, amongst all its other positive effects, Chanca piedra is also a potent anti-viral which has been well documented as being used for syphillis, typhoid, tuberculosis, malaria, colds, flu, UTI, venereal disease, dysentary etc. within ayurvedic medicine.

I've used this wonderful herb for a while now within a tri-herbal Indian remedy -- which equally includes both Tinospora cordifolia and Tumeric root. Chanca piedra is good at removing any form of stones or excess calcification from your body, I'm currently using this herb to investigate whether it can cure illnesses generally associated with nanobacterial problems -- these nanobacteria hide both in the stones and in the calcified arterial walls(as plaque) and are difficult to shift.

Here is a list of Chanca piedra's positive uses and effects:

MAIN ACTIONS

* expels stones
* kills bacteria
* Whole herb
* supports kidneys
* treats malaria
* increases urination
* prevents mutation
* relieves pain
* reduces fever
* protects liver
* mildly laxative
* detoxifies liver
* expels worms
* reduces spasms
* reduces inflammation
* kills viruses
* clears obstructions
* aids digestion
* reduces blood sugar
* lowers blood pressure
* lowers cholesterol

08/14/2012: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Harmony, Many people with geno type 1 HCV infections are reporting success with the BHT treatment. The BHT treatment is NOT geno type specific. It works as well as it does for all the variants of hepatitis C.

Those reporting the best results are not using other treatments. Some use of the B vitamins and vitamin C do seem to help some people. I have NO opinion on these other supplements you mentioned and have no clue as to what they are or how they will effect the BHT treatment. My advice is to keep it simple because that is what has worked very well for many people. Do NOT take a bunch of other supplements. I am THROUGH, done with trying to give what is at best an educated guess as to how all these different supplements will effect the BHT treatment. Many supplements including the milk thistle extracts seem to screw up the treatment. Make it NOT work. Keep it simple for best results.

12/13/2009: Colleen from Denver, Colorado: "one more very crucial factor in my healing my hep-c that I forgot to mention in my previous e-mail (chlorophyll tons of salads)

nothing else worked for me until I removed the metals in my teeth - my body would not absorb any nutrition - and then after the metals were out - like magic, I started my road back to health.

make sure if you do remove them to have them taken out in the correct order (metal fillings all have different charges, and will have the most benefit if they are removed properly. (no pain is involved in this procedure, - since no new tooth surface is removed - only the fillings. (rubber dam must also be used) good luck!

05/24/2013: Karen from Tampa, Fl: "Hello Bill, I've been told to take one ounce of colloidal silver for 8 hours every day for 21 days. This person says it will cure hepatitis c.. Any feedback on this? It seems like a lot of CS to put in your system without repercussions??Thank you much."

08/30/2011: Njt from Egg Harbor Twp, Nj replies: "I've had hep c from a blood transfusion in my teens. Found out in 1982 when it was called non A non B hep. Did the treatments. Which didn't work & went through HELL. My gastro drs all told me different things. I went to mesosliver & milk thistle which has helped. I now make my own liq silver. After 8 yrs I am not blue. My levels are normal. My viral load is 14 million. I don't even want to know the viral load as much as I did when I first found out either, I get depressed. My last biopsy was about 4 yrs ago & my liver was pink. I am tired because I have chronic hep C. Hep C is NOT ever cured. I hate hearing that. It goes into remission!! Asprin is not good to take either, that is one thing 11 gastro drs all agreed on. Vit B is a no no too. Vit D is better taken in small doses or sit 20 min in the sun. I take 4 tablespoons of liq silver on an empty stomach each day for 8 wks then take a break. 4 caps of milk thistle. Sometimes I take other vitamins like flax seed oil, vit e & c etc.. You need to watch what you take as some of these "cures" sound off the wall to me. My drs are amazed by the way my viral loads changes while on liq silver. I have had no bad side effects at all. I think we all want a cure & not interferon.

Things will work for some people & not others. A good attitude is a must. My dr told me flat out interferon. Pegatron etc will never make me feel less tired so I decided not to even try that poison again. I think saying anything is a cure is totally false & gives people hope. Lets get real & be honest.... We can help ourselves feel better & maybe go into remission but remember there is no sure cure! I am going to look into some of these things I've read here but I've dealt with Hep C a long time & people need to really be informed about what they take. Most gastro drs will not approve of these things. So do your homework & best of luck to all of us."

08/31/2011: Paul from Chicago, Il replies: "By liquid silver, do you mean colloidal silver?"

01/03/2009: Chris from Steamboat Springs, Colorado replies: "Colloidal Silver is not Carcinogenic. This person can't even spell it properly. Also do your research if you plan to try a colloidal silver. There are true colloids, Ionic colloids (which turn into silver chloride (a worthless salt) as soon as they hit stomach acid) and silver proteins which are most likely to cause argyria. True colloids taken at the proper dosage will not cause argyria. Be sure to get as much information from neutral websites that are not selling a specific product."

01/11/2008: jim from fairview, misouri replies: "I have heard about colliod silver. read the testimony Susan has given about how she made here own. Could you please look into this for me as I emailed her with no response.. I would like to know how to build my own machine or purchase one to make my own colloid silver. Please help. my levels are very high. and might have to start interferon again. thank you and please write soon."

11/08/2009: Rsg from Woodridge, Il replies: "I have Hep C, and my viral load is high (14 mil). I just started on H2o2 therapy 35%, increasing to 25 drops in water 3 times a day. I also make my own Colloidal Silver, and would like to know what is the proper dose."
