Oscar's Highly Effective BHT Hepatitis Treatment

Thank you Oscar for the good work.

I started taking BHT to help with my hepatitis b on Oct 18, 2014. I had bad fatigue/joint pains/ and very dark urine. I was diagnosed with chronic hep b. I have been taking 500mg of bht that is 250 mg morning and evening everyday and didn't skip a day for exactly one year. Now it's oct 29/15. I did one liver flush to help my liver fight the virus (I avoided processed food). They did ultrasound and found that am healthy. They took my blood each six months, That's dec/14 , july/15 and oct/15. During the previous two tests I had hbv antigen reactive and negative antibodies but my last test this month changed to HBV antibodies reactive and hbv antigen non reactive. I don't have any symptoms that I had earlier like fatigue/joint pain e.t.c.

Does this test show am cured?

Hello every one,

I just wanted to let you know I have had HEP C for about 20 years now and I think it was getting the better of me tell I found about BHT. Let me tell you I was sick my poo was yellow and so was my pee. My stomach hurt all the time and so did my right side. I could tell that I was not breathing very well.

So the first pill I took of BHT 250 mg I could tell that my breathing was better, After 3 days of taking the BHT 250 mg once in the morning with water only, I see improvements let me tell you about them. First off I see that my poo was the normal brown color and my pee was normal golden yellow. My poo was yellow and I always had the runs.

Sorry if it is to much info. My nausea has almost gone away it was bad. I'm still resting a lot to try and give my body the best chances of killing the hep c from my system. I had a type of rash all around my neck it was red and now it's almost gone. After 7 days of taking the BHT once in the morning I'm feeling better and I'm less depressed. Also I wanted to tell you about my skin it just feels softer, I think it's from all the antioxidant power of the BHT. Today after one week I do

feel a lot better. The nassau I would have to say is gone for the most part. I will keep you all posted on my results. I wanted to tell every one about how much I have improved but I have been so ill and I didn't fee like getting on my computer. Today was the first day I woke up and said to my self I want to tell every one about the BHT treatment. :) I almost feel like I'm going to live now thanks every one for posting your comments about BHT, All the reading helped me a lot and I plan on taking it for two years or more.

Lukey, the BHT appears to be insufficient for you. This is not that unusual (one of ten?). So my question is why? A biohacking approach would be to search for some kind of pervasive pro-viral influence in your life, like (1) estrogen dominance from chronic infection, which you can test, (2) a vegan of vegetarian diet, (3) heavy metal body burden, (4) toxic chemical burden (aspartame, glyphosate, pesticide, fat peroxides, cholesterol oxides, fabric brighteners and anti-wrinkle laundry additives, etc.), and on and on. It is also possible that you have one or more nutritional deficiencies of vitamins A and D, magnesium, selenium, sulfur amino acids, copper, manganese, cobalt (vitamin B12), or vanadium (see the BHT Book for a table of such dietary agents). You might also consider pushing up your BHT levels by using transdermal delivery, which maximizes tissue levels of BHT while minimizing liver metabolism of BHT. This last consideration might also allow you to switch sources for BHT, by buying bulk BHT from a different company. Many natural biological processes are responsible for our innate viral resistance. Metabolic rate, for example, is determined by (1) mitochondrial function, thyroid hormone levels, and thyroid receptor affinity. How are your mitochondria doing? Do you have symptoms of cold hands and feet, low body temperature, low pulse rate? What about your thyroid hormone levels? Are they above average (at or above the half-way point in the "normal" range)? And if they are, do your hypothyroid symptoms decrease in response to low-dose thyroid hormone supplementation? All this may seem daunting, but on some level, lowered biological functioning is the reason why some people have viral susceptibility and others do not. Since biology is complicated, figuring out what part of biology is dysfunctional is equally complicated. One of the best correlations with viral problems is low metabolic rate and hypothyroid symptoms. So assess yourself. Go to the steve page at Project Wellbeing and download the thyroid one-pager and the BHT Book. Put a check mark next to any hypothyroid symptom you show, and two next to any symptom that is blatant. If you have lots of check marks, perhaps a hypothyroid diagnosis has been missed by your doctors? Is your body temperature upon waking more than a degree below normal? Doctors generally do not pay any attention to this, but it is something that is generally associated with chronic viral diseases. And autoimmune diseases. Good luck on your search.

Because I am in so much pain as a result of that old gunshot wound I can not think straight.

I have done my very best to provide helpful answers to the very many questions asked about the BHT treatment for viral infections.

But as the years have gone by I find myself in never ending pain as a result of very severe injuries sustained as a US Marine in the Vietnam war. It has become increasingly hard for me to think clearly about anything.

Because of this increase in pain from these old injuries, I am unable to maintain a reliable ability to answer questions people ask me.

And for that reason: I wish to bow out of this discussion of the BHT treatment NOW.

I have described in detail exactly how and why the BHT treatment works as well as it does for SOME people. Keeping the BHT treatment simple works as well as it does for the reasons discussed by me in my many postings about all this.

I do hope people will continue to post the results they have with the BHT treatment good or bad.

My very best to all, ...Oscar

Dear Oscar,

The staff at Earth Clinic and I want to thank you for all the years you have devoted to helping people heal themselves of Hepatitis. We are enormously grateful that you have been patiently answering questions from people around the world on Earth Clinic for almost a decade now. Without a doubt, you have helped thousands of people with your BHT cure.

I was researching the viability of BHT for the Epstein Barr Virus on the web a few weeks ago and came across some of your BHT posts on other sites dating back to 2007, so I know you have been at this a long time.

Please know that you are greatly loved and appreciated here at Earth Clinic.

Deirdre

Dear Deirdre and the staff of EARTH CLINIC: Your thanks is the best honor of my efforts I could ever have. I burst out in tears when I read your posting.

Many people may not be aware of the courage and fortitude maintaining this website requires. The misery Ted and others have endured to provide the help available here.

Thank you for your kind remarks. Sincerely, ...Oscar

Know what number designates SVR sustained viral response:

I went to Gastroenterologist almost two years of being on BHT. The Doctor sent me for blood test then when the results came back said I was a perfect candidate for this new treatment which high criteria for admission as it cost $100,000.00 the results of that very first test said :

The quantitative range of the assay is 15 IU/mL to 100 million IU/mL using COBAS(R) TaqMan(R) HCV test, v 2.0. The limit of detection (LOD) and lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for this assay is 15 IU/mL. Results less than the quantitative range of the assay will be reported as "HCV RNA detected, less than 15 IU/mL".

During the next 12 weeks the Doctor was evasive to the questions I asked about " what is undetectable:?I could never get a straight answer now going through all my other tests I find this on the very first test! :

HCV RT-PCR, Quant (Graph)

Hepatitis C Quantitation 761,240 IU/mL 03

HCV log10 5.882 log10 IU/mL

What that means is the Doctor used me because the very first test showed my viral load was 761,240 IU/mL 03

which actually meant I had no HEPC in the first place. It had already been cured with the BHT. I ultimately found out that under 800,000 IU/ml is UNdetectable.

The moral of my story is to know your numbers to what is cured. Many Gastroenterologist Doctors do not know the numbers of SVR ...Don't be fooled.

I intend on taking BHT and try to align with Oscar's Protocol. The thing is I have ulceritis, .. severe peptic issues. I NEED L-Glutamine, PepZinGI, Mastic Gum, DGL (Diglycerized Licorice) and MSM (not MMS like said on Oscar's). Just doing a few of these doesn't work until I use a cocktail of these natural supplements to heal and maintain my stomach's lining.

Do I need to give up these supplements to take BHT? They are not on Oscar's contraindication list and are NOT herbal. Mastic Gum is a tree resin/sap and DGL is a licorice extract. The others are what comes from our food.

Plus, as for SPIRULINA. Please use with BHT. It has already been shown to do WELL with BHT in studies when reversing Liver Cirrhosis. It doesn't contraindicate BHT. Not to mention, it can dually kill HIV and other viruses at the same time. This is NOT herbal but a plant that's eaten like you would eat your GREENS aka spinach, etc ... but it is much more potent than any other green.

Thoughts????

Bht does not have any sides effects. I had bad joint and fatigue and after few months it went away. Just keep on taking BHT but take it strictly without taking any food in the stomach. What you eat determines your pain/fatigue. Avoid fried and processed foods period. that will help your liver ALOT. To me I think based on what I went through, Fatigue and joint pains come from the food you eat since its toxic to your liver. I did not take any other Medicine except Bht, so I don't know if it works with other med.

Keep it simple and take it everyday. I am going to doc and will let you know what they said based on my history.

Dear Oscar,

I too appreciate your efforts to help others, even when you are in pain and suffering yourself. It is exasperating that you work hard and help so many and the cure is not recognized. I have loved ones that have been told there is "No cure" for this or that and the doctors just give them more drugs. And for these same conditions, I read on Earth Clinic of people curing these very conditions. I share your exasperation that often simple and inexpensive supplements, herbs, etc. will help or cure a serious condition and it is not recognized. (And people keep on suffering! )

So, perhaps the world will not know the cure you know. But, for the one person at a time that feels better because you helped them, it is still worth it. So, I too thank you for caring!

Love,

~Mama~

Dear " Mama to Many ". Thank you so very much for your very kind remarks. I have followed your postings and share your concern for others. You take on MANY issues and treatments with the required concern. My focus is on viral hepatitis and BHT as the treatment. You take on so much more.

That is a LOT to do. My love to you. MAMA MIA!!! ...Oscar

To Oscar and all who have benefited from Oscar's expertise...

This is certainly a sad day for so many who have learned from the great work Oscar has contributed out of his deep heart. His is a heart that loves and cares and asks for nothing in return.

He is one of my heroes.

Oscar I pray that that old injury will be healed and that you once again will join in with your always insightful and precise discussions.

I am in grief over losing you and hope it is only for a time. We all love you dear friend. I do feel that you are a friend. You have the "Earth Clinic Heart" and we love you deeply.

Your student,

Dave from Fountain Inn

Dave,

Thank you for articulating exactly what I, and probably many others, have been thinking concerning Oscar. What a gift he has been to all of us, and hopefully he will chime in and let us know how he is doing. Our prayers go up for his healing and strength, and thankfulness for all the altruistic, caring, smart and absolute "out of the box" thinking he has shared while always trying to help Anyone who asks. God bless you, Oscar. Take care, heal, strengthen, and know we will be thinking and praying for you. May the love and goodness you have sent out come back to comfort and surround you now. Best wishes always.

Take good care, Oscar.

Though the contents of your threads didn't apply to me, seeing familiar names leave the board are like having friends leave.

Like you, I have frequented EC for many, many years and I will miss seeing your name here.

I hope that you will find relief for your pain. You have helped so many, it hurts me that you're suffering. Life just 'aint' fair.

Thank you, too, for your unselfish, intrepid service to our country. I am only sorry that serving it left you in such physical pain.

Wishing you all the best. You will be missed.

Hi Oscar,

I never seen a latest post from you , but i can tell it's true all you have said about BHT, I want to thank you personally for sharing this treatment from my heart ..from positive anti HCV to negative anti HCV ,at first I don't really believe that it can achieve negative anti body as medically inclined I know that's is forever copy in the blood but I was wrong ..following your instruction I was surprised to test 3 times and it was non reactive , so I decided to share it and further study on this amazing supplement..

Adebayo, encapsulated products are rarely pure. Sand (silica, silicon dioxide) is added to help powder flow. Anti-caking agents can be added. The capsules are generally lubricated with magnesium stearate to prevent breakage. So if you want pure, buy bulk powdered or granular BHT. And make your own capsules if you cannot stand the taste.

In answering another question, I mentioned several ways to get BHT through national boundaries and customs inspections. One, have it transshipped to a friend in another country, who then repackages it and sends it on to you. Two, have your friend melt the BHT and cast it in a hobby mold into a bird, candle or figurine. Three, put the BHT into a zip-lock plastic bag, squeeze the air out and flatten it as thin as possible. Then, double-bag it and put it inside of a birthday card, book or magazine.

The last possibility is to buy it as a bulk chemical through a laboratory supplier in your country for some artistic, artisan or commercial use. BHT can be used to make candles, clean and store firearms, delay hardening of paint, stabilize gasoline for storage, make leather, preserve foods and herbs, and who knows what else. Laboratory chemicals may be high priced, but they are usually low volume. Commercial chemicals are the other way around: low prices and big quantities. I hope this helps.

Oscar,

I consider myself to be very fortunate to have been one of the many beneficiaries of your invaluable advice. I am sorry that you are in such pain. I hope that in time you are able to live a pain free life. Even though I am in the early stages of my BHT treatment I know that it is helping me. I have my first Gastro specialist appointment next week. I expect it to go well, due in no small part to your selfless help. I hope that others will carry the BHT Hep C treatment torch on from you. I will do my best to offer others my own experience and advice. You have very big shoes to fill!

My very best wishes,

Jay

Oscar:

In my severe condition especially in the past 4-5 yrs, I have had considerable pain in my bones & joints and have been near needing prescription pain meds but fortunately found relief with magnet therapy. I got my hands on the strongest magnet I could find and have experienced very positive results which allowed normalcy and sufficient sleep. Magnet bed pads are also very good for pain as they work so well while your sleeping, that's when healing and repair occurs.

Also, have you tried the Epsom Salts baths? They are very good for both pain and nerves.

You must come back here and update us on your condition and don't worry about posting for others for now. You have many friends here and we want you to get better.

Dear Sarah from Israel, I so very much value your responses. You have a doctor interested in this BHT treatment. As far as I know, and I did do a web search: There is NO known CURE for hepatitis B. There is at least one treatment discussed that seems to help many people, but NO true cure is mentioned.

As I have discussed previously: The BHT did CURE me of both hepatitis C and B. The people at the VA told me I now test negative with the ANTIBODIES tests for both of those viral liver infections.

In fact, I was accused of lying about ever being infected. But the records from the BOSTON VAMC clearly indicated I tested positive the numerous the times I was tested for hepatitis B and C. Also I was diagnosed with liver failure as a result of a hepatitis C infection.

Also: I paid to have myself tested about 16 months later by a private [ non-government doctor ]. I still tested POSITIVE for both infections at that time with the antibodies tests. I was hoping for a NEGATIVE tests results but did not get one. This was well into 1998. I was hoping for a true cure at that time.

Keep in mind: I WAS taking BHT on a DAILY basis for those 16 months.

It was in 2006 that I tested NEGATIVE with said hepatitis C and B antibodies tests for the first time.

I was tested again in or about 2001 when I was tested once again for both infections. I had moved and was now being seen by the VAMC Syracuse, New York and again tested Negative for both infections and was accused of lying. But I guided my VA health provider back to the Boston VA medical records.

I guess they were concerned I would file a false disability claim. I never ever did. The BHT cured me of both infections and I never ever filed a disability claim as to any form of hepatitis. I had received 24 blood transfusions as part of my treatment for a really bad gunshot wound to and through my abdomen and back. Most of my liver and all of my right kidney are gone and half of my large intestine also. Part of a rib and more. Said blood transfusions were a very common source of hepatitis C and B infections back in 1968.

What is important is: There is NO known cure for hepatitis B from all I have read. But I do say: BHT is that CURE. And it is not ONLY hepatitis B but hepatitis C also along with the many herpes viruses and possibly AIDS and other lipid coated viruses.

If I can get even one Medical Doctor to pay attention it would help a LOT. I need an MD`s help with this endeavor.

From what you said: You have an MD paying attention. I no longer even desire any recognition for my efforts. If an MD can get BHT recognized officially as the effective treatment it is: My goal will be achieved.

Back to you:

The progress your HBV viral load counts indicate using BHT as a treatment for hepatitis B are significant. We do not really know what that viral load count was at the time you first began the BHT treatment. Only that said viral load count was increasing. And that it went down by 30% in 5 weeks. In my opinion: You have turned the corner and this infection is not only under control, but well on it`s to NO VIRUS DETECTED. But it takes years of this BHT treatment to get to a true CURE.

I am tired Sarah. I will end this posting at this time and for that reason. I am not only old, but live in a very damaged, pain filled body. I can NOT keep this effort up FOREVER.

Stay in touch. There is a LOT more I know about this treatment such as the different WHO reports and on and on. Those WHO reports discuss in detail how BHT is metabolized and such. Things like that....Oscar

Dear Sarah Israel, Your understanding of viral hepatitis is the same as mine as regards treatments currently available to Medical Doctors: There are very effective treatments now available for hepatitis C but NOT hepatitis B.

Look, I very much understand your MD`s reluctance to put her name on the promotion of the use of BHT as a treatment for ANYTHING really. MD`s have to be very careful about such things, for all the obvious reasons. I was hoping: That if you successfully get to NO VIRUS DETECTED in that viral load count test [ not a sure thing and you are not there yet ] that she would consider filing a report of your case history as an anonymous patient with one of the medical journals as an interesting and noteworthy event. But we are there yet like I said. Of course I very much hope that is only a matter of time.

Also, getting to NO VIRUS DETECTED is NOT the same as being truly CURED as I have discussed a number of times in this forum and other forums.

It takes years of continued BHT treatment to reach a TRUE CURE. This is because: It is the liver cells that are infected with hepatitis B and C and the other forms of viral hepatitis. Those viral load count tests are a BLOOD test. When a person gets to NO VIRUS DETECTED it means the BHT treatment is working effectively by destroying the different hepatitis virons in the bloodstream and thereby preventing uninfected liver cells from becoming infected. And liver cells live about 200 days and it does follow: That if you can prevent any uninfected liver cells from becoming infected with the use of BHT eventually a TRUE CURE will occur. There will eventually be NO infected liver cells. For me this took at least 2 years and very likely more than 2 years.

But eventually I did and still do test NEGATIVE with those hepatitis B and C antibodies tests. I know this because I was accused of lying about ever being infected by one of my so called VA health care providers. She told me: Once infected you will ALWAYS test POSITIVE. But the VA keeps records of EVERYTHING. And I told her to check back to 1997 and the records will be there. I had been tested and retested and was POSITIVE for both back then. Sure enough those records were there. She told me: I must have made a " SPONTANIOUS RECOVERY " for both of those infections. But even she admitted to being confused about it all.

So to wind up this discussion: It would be NOTEWORTHY and of interest to the medical community if you could do the same with a well documented case history with the use of BHT to treat hepatitis B. That is a big if at this time....Oscar

Dear Sierarrafrica [ Sierra Leone ]: Please know there is NO reason for you to be afraid. One of every three people alive today is infected with hepatitis B. Most of those people will NEVER suffer serious health issues as a result of this infection.

But some will.

1. Continue and complete the treatment your doctor prescribed for you as prescribed.

2. If you choose to give the BHT treatment a try : Do so AFTER and only after you have completed the prescribed treatment as prescribed.

It is NOT good to be mixing the BHT treatment with any other treatment.

If, after completing the treatment your doctor prescribed you choose to try the BHT treatment:

The recommended dosage is 250mg of BHT per day with water only on an empty stomach for people who 125 pounds or less. For those who weigh more than that: Two 250mg capsules of BHT may be required = 500mg of BHT per day. For people who weigh 200 or more pounds some more BHT may be required. These are rough guidelines only. But it does give you something to start with regarding dosage.

The ONLY supplements I think are OK to take with the BHT treatment are: one standard multi-vitamin and mineral supplement per day and up 1,000mg of vitamin C per day.

That is it. Please do NOT ask me how this that or some other supplement will effect the BHT treatment because I truly do NOT know.

But again: Please do not be frightened. Chances are VERY good you will NOT suffer serious health issues because of hepatitis B. And recent reports along with some of the older ones do indicate that BHT is an effective treatment for hepatitis B if taken as I have discussed....Oscar

Hello Jparkin48, The people who first discovered that BHT deactivates lipid coated viruses are: Snipes, Person, Keith, and Cupp. Their ground breaking research was first published in the journal Science volume 188, pages 64-66 in 1975. Titled " Butylated Hydroxytoluene Inactivates Lipid-containing Viruses ".

I read about their research in Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw`s book: "The Life Extension Companion ". Pearson and Shaw discuss the use of BHT to treat the different herpes viruses in that book. But they do advise people with liver disease to NOT use BHT.

But back in 1997 there was only the first of the interferon drugs available for treating hepatitis C. The results were poor at best as was explained to me by the VA doctor I was seeing.

So, after learning that hepatitis C was very much a lipid coated virus I figured: What have I got to lose given interferon`s poor tract record along with it`s many severe adverse effects ?

So I bought some BHT and began using it with amazingly good results....Oscar

A:

BHT, to my knowledge is like a semi-synthetic antioxidant and is therefore relatively free of severe and harmful side effects. I have been using BHT almost daily for 3yrs for chronic active viral hep with all good results and no bad side effects whatsoever to note.

As for the pharm antivirals, there appears to be many bad side effects as you have noted. For more info go here http://www.drugs.com/ribasphere.html

As for memory & concentration, here is a list of natural herbs and nutrients that will help.

• Gingko Biloba
• Acetyle L Carnitine
• Taurine
• Vinpocitine
• Choline/Lecithin
• Omega 3 fatty Acids like Fish, Krill, and Flax Oil
• Fat Soluble antioxidants Selenium/Vit-E/CoQ10 (all support and protect the Omega 3's)

Timh

Every liver cell lives about 200 days. If no uninfected cells become infected it is at least theoretically possible there will be no scar tissue if the use of BHT prevents uninfected cells from becoming infected. It is more complex than than that. Advanced cirhosis creates special or other problems. But minor scarring should resolve itself if the BHT treatment works the way it is supposed to....Oscar

Update for BHT.

I had to quit using BHT because it made my Peripheral Neuropathy worse.

I took the Holkira Pac treatment for Hep-C and my viral load was over 9000,000 + and after 2 weeks in it was 15. At the end of 12 weeks it was undetectable. Now I was told that I could not take my supplements R-ALA, BHT, Chanca Piedra, and Kratom for pain because it would reduce the effectiveness of the Hep-C treatment.

I found that the treatment cured my Mellitus Diabetes and took the pain from Peripheral Neuropathy away. It seemed to improve a lot of my ailments and the liver ache every time I ate. The treatment was $60,000 and covered by health care. I have to get two more VL tests three months apart to show a cure.

My fibrosis is 2.75 and has begun to heal. I am sleeping better now and the weird dreams are subsiding. I can now enjoy ice cream and other sweets. My urine is back to normal and my dry skin problem is clearing up. I had red spots all over my face and those are disappearing. It feels very good to be free of Hep-C after 40years.

I feel it very important for any one taking BHT or any Hep-C treatment to be aware that mixing it with any other supplements can cause it to fail. Don't mess with a good thing. Wait until the treatment is over before consuming supplements.

I did find that Melatonin, a sleep aid, also helps to heal the liver, check it out in pubmed.com.

Thanks earthclinic for all your help.

Davey D.

Hello Alex, it seems like you are another success story for BHT use to cure HBV. I am also HBV poistive and just started BHT treatment 1 week ago. I had joint acjes and extreme fatigue before I started on BHT a week ago. I started with 250mg daily. The joint aches have gone but I find the fatigue is still there if not worse on some days and I have also found I am sweating alot. Did you expirience any side effects at all?

Dear Jos [ AZ ], I consider your response an important one because you also seem to have cured genital warts along with at least some success with BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C.

This genital warts condition is very troubling for all who suffer with it and BHT is the ONLY thing I know of that has actually made the warts go away and not return. There are topical treatments that work as well as they do. But that is NOT at all the same as being free of these warts.

In my opinion based on your feedback and that of others: BHT can in at least some cases destroy the virus that causes these warts.

The same is true for some people who have hepatitis C. For reasons unknown to me the BHT treatment works very well for many but not all people. Keeping the treatment simple is what seems to work best.

Also, I agree with your doctor. Being " undetectable " in a blood test does NOT mean you are cured of hepatitis C or B. It only means the treatment is working by destroying the virons in your bloodstream. It is your liver that is infected with viral hepatitis. But if you can keep your blood free of intact hepatitis virons eventually a true cure can and will be achieved. This is because ALL liver cells are renewed about every 200 days. So if you prevent new liver cells from becoming infected a true cure can be achieved and has been by myself and others.

I have NO opinion on these harmoni pills. I know NOTHING about them.

But like I said: Keeping the BHT treatment simple seems to work best. So if you do NOT need these harmoni pills stop taking them and let us see if there is improvement or not....Oscar

Hello Jos [ AZ ], I have heard nothing but good things about these new hepatitis C drugs including " Harvoni ". Except for the price of course. I strongly recommend NOT using BHT while taking the harvoni.

But I do think restarting the BHT treatment AFTER and only after the harvoni treatment is completed would be an added measure of protection against any possible relapse. Maybe a year or so of one dose of 250mg to 350mg of BHT per day would make sure your liver is truly free of all infected cells.

I still take BHT every other day to protect myself against the many viruses BHT seems to destroy. I used to take BHT every day but cut back somewhat. I never catch colds and such for whatever that is worth.

You did mention the BHT seems to have cured you of genital warts. That makes 4 people in this forum who have reported BHT cured them of genital warts that I am aware of. You, Fatchabrute, Larry, and Teru.

Anyway, thanks for reporting into this forum Jos. Feedback is so very important to this forum. How else can people find out what works or does not work ? This of course goes for all the treatments discussed here. The BHT does NOT work for everyone. But it does seem worth a try for many people if used with care for many viral infections. Take Care, ...Oscar

Dear Oscar,

I couldn't thank you enough for your research on BHT and for providing people, including me, with very useful information.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Hep B in February 2014.

My PCR test (viral load) result last February (2014) was 800 but on February 2015, after one year, the amount of the virus in my blood was up to 1,200.

I consumed one 250mg of BHT for one month and one week, with water on an empty stomach, twice a day which is 500 mg of BHT per day.

My viral load with BHT after one month and one week was 860 according to my test results from yesterday. That's 30 percent less than it was in my previous blood test two months ago.

I really hope that BHT treatment is working for me! I certainly intend to maintain BHT treatment with periodic blood tests.

I started with 250 mg per day for 3 days and then I raised the amount to 500 mg of BHT per day.

I weight 54 kg.

My liver function levels are all normal.

While consuming BHT I haven't experienced any side effects at all.

When I started my BHT treatment I stopped taking Milk Thistle, Colloidal silver, Turmeric, vitamin D3, Licorice root, Pukka - Vitalise, reishi shiitake maitake mushroom extract, probiotics, and Phyllanthus.

I am still taking Armour Thyroid 60 mg due to a low thyroid hormone levels.

Since Pukka - Vitalise helped me to feel better, do you think that I can consume this product with BHT? What about probiotics?

Does it matter from what company the BHT product is purchased? I ordered my BHT from Amazon - Wholesale Nutrition LLC.

Thank you again for everything you've done to help me and many others who are desperate to find a treatment for our disease.

(sorry for my English mistakes)

Sarah

Dear Oscar

Thank you for your post. I read it with great interest, and I appreciate very much your sharing of your knowledge and experience with me and other people as well!

I'm so glad you're healed from both Hepatitis C and B by BHT treatment! It's really amazing, since there is no known cure for hepatitis B (as much as I know they recently found cure for Hepatitis C).

Reading your responses made me realize that viral disease is a journey that one should never have to take alone.

Yes my doctor is very interested in BHT treatment! She said that she had more patients with Hepatitis B, and she was really curious to know whether my viral load continues to reduce.

I am not sure yet if my doctor will agree that her name will be mentioned in public as BHT treatment supporter, but she said that she'd be happy for me if I'll cure my Hepatitis B by consuming BHT, and she said she'll cooperate with me in every way. My doctor is very intelligent and open-minded person.

I wish you health and wellness, and I hope that you'll continue to accompany me in my healing process by BHT.

Best regards,

Sarah

Dear Oscar,

How are you?

I have some good news - My viral load continues to fall. In 3 month of using BHT my viral load decreased in 55.8%

Below are details of my blood tests and the results.

I got sick on February 2014.

27.4.2014

HBV QUANTITATIVE PCR

viral load: 8.0*10^2

10X10=100X8=800

20.10.2014

HBV QUANTITATIVE PCR

viral load:1.0*10^3

10X10X10=1000X1=1000

19.2.2015

HBV QUANTITATIVE PCR

viral load: 1.2*10^3

10X10X10=1000X1.2=1200

15.3.2015

I started taking BHT 500 mg per day

27.4.2015

HBV QUANTITATIVE PCR

viral load: 8.6*10^2

10X10=100X8.6=860

28.3% percent decrease in viral load

18.6.2015

HBV QUANTITATIVE PCR

5.3*10^2

10X10=100X5.3=530

38.3% percent decrease in viral load

55.8% A cumulative decline in three months

Thank you for everything!

Sarah

Dear Jparkin48 [ North Carolina ]. I know of NO reason for you NOT to give the BHT treatment a try. I have often discussed why achieving a NO VIRUS DETECTED result in those viral load count tests does NOT mean a cure has been achieved. Those are blood tests that do indicate the treatment being used is destroying the viral structures IN THE BLOODSTREAM ONLY. Said treatments including the BHT treatment do NOT uninfect a living infected liver cell. Said treatments, when working the way they are supposed to do keep the bloodstream free of said intact virons but have NO effect on infected liver cells.

But: Because EVERY liver cell is a NEW CELL every 300 days or so: If you can keep the blood free of intact virons NO NEW LIVER CELLS BECOME INFECTED. And a true cure is possible.

I always thought : The BHT treatment would be and is a great follow up treatment for the conventional treatments ALONG with being the PRIMARY treatment all by itself.

This usually takes at least 2 years of said BHT treatment: 250mg to 500mg of BHT per day with water on an empty stomach. Possibly more BHT if you weigh more than 200 pounds. If adverse effects are experienced LOWER THE DOSAGE of BHT used.

Thin and very lean people are those most likely to experience said adverse effects using BHT.

It is the ANTIBODIES TESTS that determines when a TRUE CURE has been achieved. When you test NEGATIVE with said antibodies test for the type of viral hepatitis you are infected with that means YOU ARE CURED.

As stated before by me: Many doctors seem unaware of this truly simple concept. If you still have hepatitis C and or B antibodies: You are still infected and likely to relapse....Oscar

Dear Alan from Charleston, SC : One thing you are taking that might be screwing up the BHT treatment is " Prilosec " also know as " Omeprazole ". This drug or compound is known to interact with certain medications. So if you wish to keep working the BHT treatment STOP taking " Priosec " and let`s see if we can get the sort of results required to CURE hepatitis C.

There was some small improvement using BHT, but to achieve a cure that viral load count needs to come down rapidly.

I took a look at a model of the PRILOSEC molecule and it has three rings one of which hangs out there a good bit. This molecule may very well combine with the metabolites of BHT and the combined structure would be TOO large to penetrate those viral lipid coatings. This would make all such combined structures TOO LARGE to penetrate those viral lipid coatings.

So if possible stop taking " PRILOSEC " and let's see if we can get the BHT treatment working the way it is supposed to work....Oscar

Oscar, I feel that I can speak for many others on this forum when I say "Thank You for all that You Do" helping offer options to those of us who are battling this nasty virus.

And, I got pretty good news today. I have continued with the BHT treatment that I described in my earlier post. Last check for viral load count was 2,028,000 middle of last December, 2014. I was just rechecked two weeks ago. My viral load is now 1,202,000. About 40% lower in 4 months!

I feel that we are making progress. I certainly intend to maintain this treatment with periodic blood tests to check progress on load reduction. Probably about every 6 months, because the tests are ridiculously expensive when I have my family doctor order them. And unfortunately my insurance company leaves a lot to be desired. Do you know of any less expensive sources for this test procedure?

Oscar, Thanks Again

Alan from Charleston, SC

Dear Alan from Charleston SC, Well, it does seem some very real progress is occurring at long last with your BHT treatment.

Please save all your medical records in a file somewhere. I use those manila type folders and file them in chronological order keeping the latest reports in front. Sadly I lost my records at some point in time after many moves under duress. I think I have them somewhere with me but can no longer find them. Anyway these records are valuable to you and should be saved.

I am not sure what to make of your case history so to speak. It appears to me: That the BHT brought your infection under control at first, but without a substantial lowering of that viral load count. The infection was not getting worse and showed some small improvement. At the very least the infection was NOT raging out of control.

And that now, at long last, some very real improvement is occurring. Perhaps your body has finally healed itself from the damaging effects of that earlier treatment you discussed and is now able to make some very real improvement with the use of BHT. I surely do hope so.

Please do stop taking " Prilosec " if you can get by without it. I do think the prilosec was degrading the BHT treatment.

Anyway, this is very encouraging news. Also, as another responder reported the organization " The Life Extension Foundation " does offer blood tests at reduced prices if available in your area.

Take Care My Friend, ...Oscar

Dear Devo from LA, Always take BHT by itself with a gulp of water only on an empty stomach for best results. Play it safe and wait at least one hour before taking any other medication or supplement.

This is a very good recommendation for taking most if not all medications and or supplements. Totally unpredictable chemical reactions can and will occur in the fairly acidic environment of the stomach [ PH value = about 1 ] in said stomach.

So the answer is: Do NOT take BHT at the same time as blood pressure medications....Oscar

Hello Oscar,

I have been declared "Virus undetected" in 32 days on the current drug protocol...

I then brought up your statement of "It isn't cured unitl you register Non detectable antibodies." The very rude doctor, is all aspects of her practice, told me, "if I have any disease I will always have antibodies."

Would you please elaborate on your statement as I have follow up visits with this person. My visits with her are the only side effect of the drug...Thank you and God Bless.

Dear sexymom from Nigeria, I ran a BHT cures group for about 2 years. If you have found a supplier for BHT go with what is available as to what dose the capsules are. There were 4 people I know of who had dramatic improvement for hepatitis B using the BHT and that includes me. Those who did best used the simple treatment I have discussed. One of those 4 people did also use CHIANCA PIEDRA with LESS dramatic results. The group`s main focus was hepatitis C. So there were NOT many people using BHT for hepatitis B. The group members who did the best stuck with the simple BHT treatment though like I said one member did use chianca peidra also. One member who did very well was from an African country where malaria was also one his infections. So it got confusing with him. Was it malaria that caused his temporary liver problem or hepatitis B ? The last report I got from him was that: He did very well with the simple BHT treatment. He was/is Daniel also known as fanny. He went the UK to see doctors there and was told he had " the liver of a newborn baby " meaning his liver was functioning very well and showed NO sign of disease.

As far as weight gain goes the BHT if anything seems to reduce a person`s appetite. It is also a mild stimulant for most people. About the same as having a cup of coffee. I SAY keep the BHT treatment simple for best results. One or two capsules per day with water on an empty stomach taken with a gulp of water....Oscar

Great hearing from you " sexymom from Nigeria ". This is the way BHT is supposed to work. Fast and effective. This is how the BHT worked for me. I was very sick with hepatitis C in 1997. But with the use of BHT I was feeling normal in about one week and tested NEGATIVE with the HCV RNA test in about one month. But it does take at least a year or more to get to a negative with the HCV antibodies test. The sign of a true cure. Please keep taking the BHT just like you have been. I very much recall people who got well and stopped taking the BHT and RELAPSED. Got sick again. Please do NOT make that mistake. You still have a very many HCV infected liver cells. I KNOW what I am talking about. It took me over two years to get that NEGATIVE with the HCV antibodies test. Again it is great hearing from you.

Also, please inform your fellow Nigerians where or how you managed to buy BHT because Nigerians keep telling me they have a serious problem obtaining BHT. God Bless You " Sexymom " ...Oscar

BHT is butylated hydroxytoluene. This compound has proven to be an effective treatment for both hepatitis C and B. The recommended dosage is: one 250mg capsule per day with a gulp of water on an empty stomach for people who weigh 130 pounds or less. For those who weigh more you may need more. Start out with the 250mg of BHT per day for one week. Then if no adverse reactions are experienced go to two 250mg capsules per day. One dose in the morning and one at night.

It is important to keep this treatment simple. By that I mean to NOT mix it with other supplements. Many supplements make this treatment NOT work. BHT can and will combine with many other supplements by way of peptide bonds making the treatment NOT work. After many years of following the feedback provided the ONLY supplement I consider alright to take is a standard multivitamin and mineral supplement. And that is optional and NOT part of the treatment.

To effectively treat a viral infection the metabolites of BHT have to be small enough to penetrate those bi-layered lipid coatings. When BHT combines with large molecules including: vitamin B12, milk thistle extracts, and many other supplements the BHT metabolites are FAR too large to penetrate said lipid coatings. This makes it so the BHT treatment does NOT work.

Here is a link to a company that sells BHT in 250mg capsules. 500 capsules for 30 dollars. This company believes in BHT as do I and provides additional information for those interested here:

https://www.lifelinknet.com/siteResources/Products/BHT.asp

There have been a number of recent posters in this forum with questions about hepatitis B and C and BHT also. I hope my response or posting is helpful for you people....Oscar

Dear Lana, I hope you have noticed that as time has gone by and the different people who have tried the BHT treatment have reported their results I am back to what I myself was doing or using when I successfully treated myself for hepatitis C. And that is BHT and nothing else. The occasional multivitamin and mineral supplement is optional and NOT part of the treatment.

I do think I identified the problem for those who have had poor results with the BHT treatment. It goes back to the way BHT is metabolized as discussed in the many WHO [ World Health Organization ] studies and reports about BHT.

BHT is metabolized [ it`s molecular structure is altered or changed ] during digestion in such a way as to make BHT somewhat water soluble. This process creates molecules that have a carboxyl group or groups. These carboxyl groups readily combine with amino groups in what is called a peptide bond. And the rather large vitamin B12 molecule has 6 amino sites for example. And many other compounds do also have these amino [ NH2 ] groups. When the compound with the amino group is small such as the amino acid glycine everything is fine. The combined structure is still small enough to penetrate the bilayered lipid coatings of the different viruses BHT is effective against and is also still non-polar and a lipid seeker. To be an effective treatment these BHT metabolites have to seek out lipid coated viruses and penetrate the lipid coatings readily. That is how they destroy these viral lipid coatings. Not only do these BHT metabolites penetrate and embed themselves in these bi-layered lipid coating but they are compelled to move about rapidly once embedded in said lipid coatings. This very rapid movement is the result of so called hydrogen bonds. Whenever a hydrogen atom is combined with an oxygen atom a so called " partial electrical charge " occurs on the Hydrogen atoms it is a partial positive charge and on the oxygen it is a partial negative charge. Exactly the same as water molecules. When water is a liquid those molecules move about very rapidly. The same is true for the smaller BHT metabolites such as BHT+glycine. With glycine this same hydrogen bonding occurs because a hydrogen combined with a nitrogen has this same effect.

Anyway, I don`t want to confuse people. But I do want to discourage the use of large doses of compounds including vitamin B12 that will readily combine with BHT metabolites. The treatment works amazingly well for many people as long as they keep it simple. If you don`t screw the treatment up with the use of other supplements it can very often work very well. You can knock those viral loads down to UNDETECTABLE when the treatment is working the way it should in a month or two. Many people have done just that. But you still need to keep taking BHT because even when no intact viral particles are in your blood, there are a very many already infected liver cells. A true CURE takes years. Liver cells live on average about 200 days. But still it takes at least a couple years to clear your body of ALL infected cells....Oscar

Dear Ana, I woke up concerned about you. What disease do you have ? My concern is this: If you are sick that is not good a developing fetus. I am not positive about the effect of BHT on a fetus. I did look at one of the WHO reports and found this:

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.

Here is a link to this report:

http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v35je02.htm

You could print up this report and show it to your doctor and find out what he or she thinks about whether or not you should take BHT while pregnant.

That report does refer to reproductive studies in the statement I posted. NOEL means No Observed Effects Level and ADI means Acceptable Daily Intake. A theraputic dose of 250mg of BHT per day is well below the NOEL but more than the ADI. The ADI is 1/100th of the NOEL and is defined as such. These acronyms are defined at the very end of that lengthy report. Past all the many references.

The best I can do for you is provide the information available. You have to decide what is best for yourself. You may wish to discuss this with your doctor....Oscar

Dear Oscar,

I couldn't thank you enough for taking the time to research on this and provide me with very useful information. My doctor said I have Hepatitis B but I don't show any symptoms. Maybe the levels are still low. I think it's best that I postpone treatment with BHT after I give birth. The safety of my baby should be my top priority. A healthy diet and lifestyle should do for now.

Thank you so much for being so helpful.

Best regards, Ana

Dear Ana, Your plan seems a good one. For most people infected with hepatitis B, they never have a serious problem ever. But there are still many that do. By the way, fully one of every three people alive today are infected with hepatitis B. So take good care of yourself and after you have your baby you can take on the hepatitis B with BHT. By the way " sexy mom from Nigeria " had extremely good results using BHT to treat hepatitis B. All symptoms were gone in about 9 days of BHT treatment. There are other equally impressive reports here at the EARTH CLINIC and elsewhere on the web. Her report is the latest one I am aware of. But like I explain to everyone who will listen: Being symptom free is NOT being cured. To get cured takes at least a few years of daily dosing with BHT....Oscar

The key here is the early diagnosis of HCV the earlier the better you can achieve that negative HCV using BHT, since the body does not yet produce a lot of antibody HCV as it invades your body producing a lot of copy of themselves, in which BHT can early take an action on the virus itself to stop reproducing as discuss by Oscar.

I am taking BHT and have no cure but it has given me back my life which the interfuron took from me and the damage it caused. I am now taking 2 caps of 350mg per day with and without food. It makes me feel good and younger as well.

Thank you Oscar for all your hard work.

Davey D

No cure here, just more pain with peripheral neuropathy which I shall refer to as pn.

I tried my hardest to use the BHT as per Oscar's suggestions but all it did was give me extreme pn a burning sensation just above the knee caps on my thighs. There was a study done about this at pubmed.com and you can go there and search it out.

I finally gave up on the BHT in December of 2015 at 1 350mg. cap per day. My viral load for Hep-C had climbed to over 9 billion and my liver was starting to ache with what ever healthy foods I consumed. So with my aching liver and the pn keeping me awake at night so many times, that the R+ALA I was taking for relief had finally started to fail me as well. After spending a lot of money on natural products that failed all I could think about was the Robin Williams way out with a piece of rope slung over a bridge and a sign saying my government failed me. They wanted my wife to pay for thee 60,000.00 treatment and I wasn't about to saddle her with that. I am not saying she would not have done it but I just could not do that to her.

Anyway after Abvie Pharma care put me on their compassionate care program, I started the treatment with 3 directs acting antiviral pills with breakfast and 1 booster 12 hours later for 12 weeks the job was done. 2 weeks in and I went from over 9 billion particles of hep-c in my blood to just 15. Another 10 weeks at the end of treatment I was undetectable but not considered cured. Then another 3 months went by and a test revealed again (undetected for hep-c virus) of which I received the results on 26/Aug./2016

So now being classed as cured I will not consider taking BHT because my pn no longer gives me trouble, and my liver no longer aches in protest. I just had to post this here so hopefully OSCAR sees it as he shares a special place in my heart for all he done for me.

It is a good day for me in an unbelievable short time.

Thanks.

Davey D!!

I tried BHT a few years ago but the dose was too much and I had to stop it. I went back on BHT 3 weeks ago. I am 64, a male. HCV since about 1982. No scarring that I know of. OK, my viral load was 5.4 million late last fall 2014. I think that's the most my VL ever was. It usually seems to be about 500,000.

3 weeks into Harvoni in Feb 2015 it was 97, then 4 weeks later I was undetectable.
(I wish I had my current VL when I began Harvoni.)

Several weeks post Harvoni, in late April 2015, I had a VL again that was 782,040. I relapsed. In 9/3/15 my VL had came down by over 33%. I had lost 322,668 points and my VL was down to 459,372. How do I think that may have happened? Maybe because I quit taking 400 IU of Vitamin E.

OK, my VL was tested again last week on 10/1/15 (after being on 175 mg of BHT daily for 2 weeks) and it's even lower now but not as low as I hoped. Its now 420,000. I lost 39,372 points in 4 weeks. I've been using oil of oregano and BHT every day. I take 175 mg of BHT a day, 1st thing in the morning. Was taking BHT by itself but have taken it with coconut oil and oregano oil the last few days. I'm trying to see which way makes it work the best for me.

Is this good news? A few days after going on BHT on 9/16/15, I felt really good one day. My moods seemed better than they've been in 25 years, but it didn't last. But I have a feeling it may return if I stay the course. My sleep seems better on BHT and I seem more together in some ways. I feel some fatigue, which I thought may have been due to "die off" of virus or some other lipid coated something or other. I felt some light liver stress the first week or so but that has gone away.

Lukey

Oscar, it makes three cured of the warts, and believe me they were bad, 25 years of bad.. I am one of the four you mentioned, differant e address.

Thank you oscar I agree 100% I was going to do just that. Bht is a great thing.. the reason it didnt totally cure me, may be :I drank coffee, Glucossamine Chondrotin, MSM also Methadone . and tons of sweets, so this may be why Bht cut my VL by 2/3 and couldnt reach non detectable ?? FB

Dear Jos [ AZ ], I do think the BHT at least kept your hepatitis C infection under control and at long last these new and effective hepatitis C treatments are now available.

I do think you are the person who first informed me that BHT can be a very effective treatment for genital warts. So Larry and Teru can thank you for that information.

Jos, I think it would be very helpful to people including Elle from Chicago for you to discuss BHT as a treatment for genital warts. The dosage you used should be helpful.

Sadly, most people who find helpful information here do not bother to even mention it.

So Elle: Please do discuss your experience with BHT as a treatment for genital warts. Did it work or not ? ...Oscar

Hello Oscar,

I am praying for you in your pain. May the Lord bring healing and relief. I know your many posts have helped so much. Blessings ...

Oscar,

Here is a mix you can make yourself and try to help reduce your pain level with minimal side effects. It isn't natural, but seems to be effective for some people. Check with your doctor first to make sure it is okay for you to do.

Take 15 of the cheap aspirin that has no coating and dissolves quickly in water, 15 cheap generic ibuprofen standard 200mg tablets and 15 generic naproxen tablets and toss them all in a blender. Pour in one 16 ounce bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol or the higher strength EverClear that is around 180 or 190 proof and is found in liquor stores. The Everclear is preferable to the isopropyl alcohol. Add 1/2 ounce of sweet orange essential oil and blend this in the blender at highest speed until all ingredients are liquefied. Pour this mix back into the alcohol bottle and relabel the bottle clearly and accurately for safety and to make sure that nobody ever drinks this mix. Get a small clean glass spray bottle and fill it with the mix. Spray this mix on painful areas as needed. This method helps protect your stomach from damage typically caused by these three NSAIDS but allows you some of the pain relief benefits afforded by these three.

The reason for using three different nsaids is because some people are more responsive to one over the other and they do have different activities so there is potential for more benefit from all three combined. The aspirin also has an antiviral action. For me personally, naproxen is the most effective of these three for pain, but I am allergic to it so I can't use it .

You can use other nsaids and certain prescription pain relievers with this method also, but that would have to be prescribed by your doctor and made at a compounding pharmacy. Voltaren Gel would kind of be in that category but even topically, that one can have severe side effects or adverse reactions.

There are other natural herbs and supplements like MSM that you can substitute in a topical mix like this, but this can be a good starting point to see what is most helpful for you and it is very easy and cheap to make. A bottle of this should last quite awhile.

If all it can do for you is "take the edge off" sometimes that is a good thing. Be sure your doctor approves this before trying it and good luck! .

Dear Oscar,

I was very sorry to read that you are in pain and I wish you and hope you feel better soon.

You are a dear and loved by many people here. I have no words to describe your contribution to the health of people like me, without asking for anything in return.

You are a model to me and I'm going to go your way and help others like you helped me. As I told you, my doctor is very interested in BHT treatment.

I have a long way to go in my dealings with the disease, and I'll miss your guidance and your support very much.

But now the most important thing is that you'll take care of yourself and concentrate on improving your physical condition.

You will be in my thoughts and I hope you will return to us soon.

Get Well Soon

Sara

Oscar, I do wish and pray for you for a speedy and miraculous recovery. Thank you so much for your help. I pray your pain will ease and will actually disappear. Once again, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to everyone and explaining just how helpful BHT is.

BE WELL.

Dear Sarah from Israel, It seems to me the BHT treatment is working fairly well. I like to see those viral load counts go down even faster, but a 30% drop in said viral load count in 5 weeks is not bad. And your liver function tests are in the NORMAL or HEALTHY ranges. This is all GOOD news.

Also: Continue taking any required doctor proscribed treatments you need. But I have no way of knowing how the other supplements you are taking might be effecting the treatment.

And for a 54kg =120 pound person: The 250mg of BHT twice a day=500mg of BHT per day should be plenty enough of the BHT.

In conclusion: Try and stop taking any and all supplements you do not need to take. The standard multi-vitamin and mineral supplements along with vitamin C do NOT degrade the BHT treatment. Many other supplements do. You are showing significant improvement so there is no reason to get discouraged. Keeping the BHT treatment as simple as possible is consistently what works best.

Thank you very much for your update for your use of BHT to treat hepatitis B. This feedback is vitally important to this forum. I wish more people would provide said feedback....Oscar

Dear Sarah, [ Israel]: You are doing ground breaking research about the use of BHT as a treatment for hepatitis B. Your detailed postings and updates are so very important.

As far as I know: There is NO other drug or compound that can actually cure the hepatitis B infection.

Things look good so far. The pattern seems to be somewhat different than the use of BHT to treat a hepatitis C infection. A more gradual reduction in that viral load count.

This is the same as the use of BHT to treat the different herpes viruses infections. A gradual improvement as opposed to a dramatic decrease in those viral loads.

You may wish to try an additional 250mg of BHT per day in hopes of getting that viral load count down to UNDETECTABLE more rapidly. You can ALWAYS go back to the 500mg of BHT per day if any problems occur at this higher dosage of BHT.

This focus on BHT as a treatment for hepatitis B is NEW to me. The focus used to be on BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C. But the drug companies did come up with some VERY EFFECTIVE treatments for hepatitis C recently. Those treatments are quite expensive and do NOT seem to work for hepatitis B. So this is important research.

You are my hero in all this. You care enough to update this forum with your progress. Thank you Sarah, ...Oscar

Oscar, please comment.

I took the Interferon, Ribovirin and Incevek (sp?)treatment in 2013 through my local gastro- specialist. It was the most horrible time of my life. I am 64 years old. I could barely eat anything or even drink water. I felt so bad I truly wanted to die. I only lasted about 10 weeks before I had to stop the treatment based on my low blood levels. I found the Earth-clinic website by chance and I read your posts about your experiences with BHT. I started my own BHT program back in July of this year (2014). I have been taking 250 mg. BHT three times a day. I weigh about 220 lbs. I take one capsule in the morning when I wake up on an empty stomach, skip breakfast, eat lunch, take another about 3:30 in the afternoon and the last one when I go to bed. I am having no bad side effects. The only other things I have been taking are naproxen sodium (Aleve), vitamin D3, and a Prilosec OTC. I take these separately from any BHT. My viral load back in 2013 was 4 million. In May of 2014 after the Interferon treatment, it was 2,262,000. After 5 months of BHT, my viral load is reduced to 2,028,000. So it has came DOWN 10 percent in 5 months. I feel good physically and I have a good energy level. My doctor is wanting me to check out some of the new very expensive treatments early in 2015. But I am hesitant to start a new "Big Pharma" program if I can beat this thing over the long haul with the BHT. In your understanding of how BHT works, is it reasonable to expect a continuing reduction in viral load if I keep up the treatment as I am taking it now? Thanks for any and all response.

Dear Alan from Charleston: From what you have stated, the BHT has at best got this hepatitis infection in check or not getting worse for now. I know from speaking with many the OLD interferon+ribaviron+whatever treatments did NOT work. BUT, the NEW treatments your doctor is discussing with you have a VERY impressive track record.

I am glad you are holding your own with the BHT and feeling better. But that could change for the worse. The NEW drugs are much more safe and effective than the old treatments.

I agree with your doctor. It is time to try the new drugs NOW available. As expensive as they are, they do have very impressive results. Can you get some help from Medicare or whatever as to paying for said treatments? As sick as you are I do hope so. You gave the BHT a sincere try with less than the desired results.

In my opinion it is time to give the NEW drugs a try. Your very life is at stake here. You would seem a good candidate for said NEW treatments. Your doctor should be aware of any and all assistance available as far as paying for said new treatments....Oscar

Dear Alan from Charleston, SC: I am not sure if I responded to you previously or not.

The BHT treatment as discussed by me HAS worked wonders for SOME but not ALL people. That treatment is: one or two 250mg capsules of BHT per day with a gulp of water on an empty stomach.

Also: Yes the " old interferon+ribaviron+whatever " treatments did NOT work well for many including you and can be very harmful also.

BUT there are these new drugs that just recently became available for hepatitis C. From what I have read they both work well and are fairly safe. So if you CAN get them I know of NO reason NOT to use them as prescribed by an MD.

They are expensive. The BHT treatment HAS worked wonders for myself and many others as discussed in this here forum. But not everyone as also discussed in this forum.

So there is always the BHT treatment available at a very low cost. Give it a try if you wish to. If the BHT treatment is working the way it is supposed to you should see dramatic improvement in no more than 2 or 3 months. For rapid responders the BHT treatment works in a month or less. Keep the treatment simple for best results. Avoid ALL supplements other than a standard multivitamin and mineral supplement and possibly some vitamin C at no more than 500mg of vitamin C per day....Oscar

Dear Jparkin48 from NC, Ok, I will answer your questions as best I can.

1. Yes, for you weighing 180 pounds, 250mg of BHT taken twice a day is the recommended dosage with water on an empty stomach. Do start with the one dose of 250mg of BHT for the first 3 days. If no adverse reactions are experience go to the 2 doses of 250mg of BHT per day with water on an empty stomach.

2. I never had any adverse effects using BHT at the dosages discussed.

3. I started feeling better in about one week. After being diagnosed with a failing liver from hepatitis C, ALL of my liver panel test results were NORMAL in one month except one that was close to normal.

4. I have discussed my background as a user of BHT to treat hepatitis C and B extensively here at the EARTH CLINIC. As far as I know I am the first person to try the BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C and B.

If you meant or mean: What educational degrees do I have ? I have a high school GED certificate. I am sorry if that disappoints you. I have studied chemistry, organic chemistry, molecular biology, and biology on my own with colledge level textbooks which is NOT at all the same or equal to having a formal education in those subjects....Oscar

Thanks for the communication, not intersested in degrees, just results.. how did you come to try bht? did you know someone else who had used it? did it take a lot of trial and error to get it right? I am familiar with bht, but only as a preservative thanks for your help jparkin

Oscar, Don't shortchange yourself...There are many people through the ages that have accomplished many scientific achievements without a formal education...You chose to do deep research on BHT and it appears you have been successful...How many universities in the world teach about healing with BHT? Or even know about healing with BHT? Or would recommend it before drugs?

Dear Mr. Ree, Thank you so very much for taking the time to post your very kind to me response. I do try very hard to make this treatment work for those interested in trying it.

I know I let some people down. I fail to pick up on what they are taking that is screwing the treatment up. That is why insist on keeping the treatment as simple as possible. I am not an encyclopedia of organic compounds. There are thousands of them.

I follow your postings with interest and know you try hard to help people. Take Care My Friend, ...Oscar

Hi Alan,

I order my own blood tests through this site:

http://health.lifeextension.com/landingpages/blood.aspx?sourcecode=BTD501D&checked=1

No prescription needed.

There is a sale going on right now, but the regular prices still are better than the costs of my doctor and hospital. I also like the freedom to order what I want to see. I don't know if the tests you require are available, but I have had good luck with this for several years. The blood is drawn at a local Lab Corp, and they both email and mail me the results. I then forward that to my doctor and I am always prepared before I go in for my appointment. If you click on a specific test, it will tell you exactly what it will show. There is a membership fee, but it is still less than what I would pay for the tests otherwise. I've found it's best to call them and ask for the best price for membership, which is often lower than advertised. I hope you find this as useful as I have.

Thanks Oscar for the encouragement and the concern regarding the Prilosec (omeprazole, 20mg). Do you know if one of the other acid reducers appears to be less of a compatibility problem with the BHT? Because I also have acid reflux and need something to help that. The Prilosec was doctor recommended. The Prilosec is categorized as a proton pump inhibitor. Another proton pump inhibitor is Prevacid, (Lansoprazole). I also might be able to get by with an H2 blocker such as Zantac (Ranitidine) or Pepcid (Famotidine). Any comments on these? Thanks again for your continued assistance. Alan

Dear Alan from Charleston, I am NOT an MD or anything remotely equal to a medical doctor. From what you have stated you have a real need for the medication your doctor prescribed for you called " Prilosec ". I did look into the alternative medications you listed. They are all as large or larger than prilosec as a molecule.

On the upside: Your latest viral load count is much better than before. Close to half of the previous test results. Your latest test results put you close to what is generally accepted as in the LOW range of 1,000,000 or less on or in said viral load tests for hepatitis C.

So, in conclusion: Continue the BHT treatment just like you have been and take the doctor prescribed " Prilosec " as needed. You may wish to try and cut back on the prilosec somewhat. But if problems occur go back to the dosage as prescribed.

Are your liver function tests within the NORMAL ranges or not ? Because if they are you seem to be doing OK as is and making some very real progress as to that viral load count. The hepatitis C infection is not only in check, but very real progress is indicated.

I used to have a " BHT CURES GROUP ". And people such as you with other conditions being treated often did take longer for the BHT treatment to work for whatever that is worth.

And if needs be the new treatments as expensive as they are, are NOW available. I sincerely hope you can and are beating this hepatitis C infection with the BHT treatment....Oscar

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

Question for all who are using BHT for as a cure for Hepatitis C.

I have been using BHT for about a year now as a treatment for my HCV. I am taking 750 mg a day on an empty stomach per Oscar's recommendations.

As I stated in previous posts, my viral load has been substantially reduced as a result of the BHT treatment and I am hoping for even better numbers (hoping for zero) when I get my viral load tested again in a couple of months.

HERE is my question to any and all who are using BHT for HVC. Is anyone experiencing problems with short term memory, focus or concentration? Before I found and started the BHT treatment, I had went through a doctor prescribed Interferon and Ribovirin treatment, which acted like poison to my body. It was horrible and I know it caused problems with memory, focus and concentration, but that was about two years ago. I am trying to determine if my current problems are a long term result of the Interferon and Ribovirin OR could be being caused as a side effect of the BHT. Does anyone else feel they may be experiencing these problems as a result of taking the BHT? Thank You.

I got my BHT in the mail yesterday took my first pill this morning on a empty stomach.

My question is, should I wait and then take my blood pressure meds? or can I take them at the same time.

I have HepC 1a and my levels have been pretty steady for 5 years. The doctors do not want to start me on any treatments and I hope this will prove to be a good alternative.

Thanks for all the great info!

Hi everyone, I don't know why it takes so long to update one's post, but I am here to share my experience on BHT usage. I started BHT on 7/27/14 with severe pain all over my right hand side of my body but I testify to the effectiveness of the drug because the pain has all gone and I feel energetic and alive once again. As Oscar has said there are side effects associated with this drug; just learn to listen to your body and all will be well.

I have Hep c, started BHT 2 wks ago. All body aches are gone but I've had a headache. Is this a side effect of BHT?

Dear Coryn [ Illinois ]. It is possible that BHT could cause headaches. How much do you weigh and how much BHT are you taking per day ? If these headaches continue or get worse you may need to lower the dosage of BHT you are taking per day. Of course we want to effectively treat this infection. But we do NOT want to cause adverse effects. That is why I always advise lowering the dosage of BHT if adverse effects are experienced. Some times but NOT always these adverse effects will go away. If said adverse effects persist I do strongly recommend lowering the dosage of BHT used....Oscar

I weigh 145, and I'm 54. I'm only taking 250 mg 1 at morning and 1 at night. I cut back to 1 a day to see if head ache would stop. It didn't. You're right, some side effects do go away. Should I continue?

This is my only hope. A $1,000 a day for Sovaldi is out of my reach.

Thanks Oscar

I was taking tenofovir but it was giving me the renal side effects and upon discovering this site, I notice Oscar BHT treatment. Thank you, Sir. It did worked. I started taking BHT along with chanca piedra and the supplements on November 23,2013 but my efgr was going down so I did stop the vitamins and then just vitamin D and B6 for every 2-3 weeks. Then gout flared up on January 2014 started taking opiates then viral load skyrocketed. I also stop taking the B-12. I started taking tart cherry extract along with my BP meds. I think it was the combo of 500 mg of chanca piedra at night and 250 mg of BHT every 2:00 or 3:00 am that did drop down the viral load. My liver enzyme was still elevated but it was decreasing. Thanks again Oscar.

Dear Yureg from US, I wish to begin by thanking you for this informative posting. As a reminder, do NOT use vitamin B12 supplements with the BHT treatment. The metabolites of BHT can and will combine with B12 by way of peptide bonds. Vitamin B12 in effect acts as a BHT scavenger degrading the BHT treatment severely. Thank you for your informative posting Yureg. I only wish more people would use the updated treatment and post their results. These hepatitis infections are dangerous. The BHT treatment does work for most people if used properly. Keep it simple. The BHT treatment is BHT and NOTHING else. Also just keep taking the BHT as you have been even after NO VIRUS DETECTED is achieved. That means the treatment is working. It does NOT mean you are cured. That takes at least 2 years for most people if not more than 2 years. This is because even though no virus is detected in your blood, a very many liver cells are still infected with whatever viral hepatitis you are treating with BHT.

A true cure is when you test NEGATIVE repeatedly with the ANTIBODIES test. Very happy to hear this good news Yureg, ...Oscar

Dear Yureg from US, I very much appreciate your input or feedback about BHT as a treatment for viral hepatitis. As you pointed out in your last posting: Getting a NO VIRUS DETECTED with a blood test does NOT mean you are cured. It means the treatment you are using is working. Also, as you stated: The FDA approved treatments are often very hard on different organs or tissues. For you it was your kidneys. For many it is their bone marrow. The good thing about BHT is: If used in safe dosages their is NO tissue damage so you can keep taking BHT as long as necessary to achieve a true cure. A very many people relapse after a supposedly successful treatment with FDA approved drugs.

It amazes me that the medical establishment seems to NOT understand that a true cure is when a person tests NEGATIVE with the ANTIBODIES tests for the different viral hepatitis infections.

Anyway, I have thoughts of starting yet again another new BHT cures group. I have serious concerns about doing so. I was threatened by one of the former groups members with some sort of legal action by the FDA. I was very clear about BHT NOT being an FDA approved treatment for any disease or condition. This person was advised to lower his daily intake of BHT. He never once had any blood tests done. He seems to hate me for some reason and said he was determined to cause me legal problems. That is the reason I ended that group.

My thinking is that any possible future BHT cures group be a restricted group. And I have only vague ideas on how that could be done. I would only want members that believe in the treatment and are willing to have blood tests done. These blood tests are the only way of knowing if the treatment is working and or how well it is working.

I would appreciate any thoughts you have on starting a new BHT cures group.

Anyone out there can check in with their thoughts on this. If there are people interested in creating such a group say so....Oscar

Dear Lana from Raleigh, NC: I took vitamin B12 OFF my list of supplements that work well with BHT. I did so because people who had very good results without B12 had poor results with vitamin B12. B12 has 6 amino sites. Each one of those 6 amino sites has the potential to combine with BHT metabolites by way of peptide bonds. Yes you need some vitamin B12 but very little because B12 recycles itself. So in effect vitamin B12 acts as a BHT scavenger and vastly degrades the BHT treatment. I know I once recommended B12. The biggest mistake I made with this BHT treatment. Do NOT take vitamin B12 supplements with the BHT treatment. The small amount of B12 in standard multivitamin and mineral supplements seems to be OK. What more can I say. Stick with what works for you....Oscar

There ARE important updates to the BHT treatment for hepatitis C and B. Importantly, the feedback indicates that vitamin B12 is NOT, I repeat is NOT a recommended supplement for this BHT treatment. Yes of course you need SOME vitamin B12. BUT, adults need LESS than 3mcg [ micrograms ] of B12 per day. The feedback DOES indicate that vitamin B12 used in excessive dosages severely degrades the BHT treatment for hepatitis C and B.

Here is the BHT treatment updated: 2-5-2014

• The BHT treatment is BHT. The recommended dosages for the use of BHT to treat hepatitis C and B is: 100mg to 350mg of BHT taken with a gulp of water on an empty stomach once or twice a day. Most people in the 150 to 180 pound range do very well with one 250mg capsule of BHT taken twice a day = 500mg of BHT per day.
  The less you weigh the less you need. The more you weigh the more you need. Also the fat content of that weight is a factor. People who are thin and have relatively lower fat content tend to have a harder time tolerating BHT. They are more prone to adverse side effects. And as people get beyond the age of 50 years old they tend to have a harder time tolerating BHT.
  Additional information:
  
  Supplements that have been shown to work well with the BHT treatment are:
  
  1. A regular type multi-vitamin and mineral pill once a day.
  2. A regular type vitamin B complex pill.once a day.
  3. Vitamin C in a daily dosage of between 250mg and 1, 000mg per day.
  4. The lipid monolaurin. Unsure about dosage.
  
  Also, and importantly: Continue taking any doctor prescribed medicines or drugs. Very many of the people who have had dramatic improvement with this BHT treatment are taking a doctor prescribed medicine of one type or another.
  
  SUPPLEMENTS TO AVOID. Do not take:
  
  1. Milk Thistle and it`s extracts. Degrades the treatment to the point that it no longer works.
  2. Grapefruit juice. Degrades the treatment to the point it no longer works.
  3. Colloidal silver
  4. Hydrogen peroxide taken internally. Hydrogen peroxide is a REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES. It will make the BHT treatment NOT work.
  5. MMS [ Miracle Mineral Supplement ]. MMS is chlorine bleach, a very powerful oxidizer that will react with BHT in such a way as to make the treatment not work.
  6. Vitamin E supplements. Yes you NEED some vitamin E. But a normal diet provides plenty. Vitamin E supplements have been shown to enhance lipid coated viruses ability to replicate and should be avoided for that reason.
  7. Any and ALL herbs in theraputic dosages.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  For best result stick with those few supplements I listed that have been shown to work well with this treatment in the dosages suggested. Any and all supplements are at best optional....Oscar

Reply to this message...

Dear Hanna, The BHT treatment has worked very well for many infected with hepatitis C type 1b. It has also worked well for ALL hepatitis C variants for many people. For best results keep it simple. Do NOT use other supplements while using BHT to treat a viral infection. Do NOT take milk thistle, vitamin B12, or any other supplement.

You said your husband weighs 150 pounds. He should start out with no more than 250mg of BHT per day and stay with that dosage for one week. He can then try a second dosage of the same 250mg of BHT taken separately. If any adverse effects are experienced go back to one 250mg of BHT per day. 250mg of BHT per day works well for many people in your husband`s weight range. It is important to take BHT with water only on an empty stomach.

Many people get well in a month or two. BUT, it takes years to be truly cured. I have read reports from people who get and feel well. Then stop the treatment and relapse. To be truly cured is to test NEGATIVE with the hepatitis C ANTIBODIES test consistantly. Just get retested to make sure.

This mistaken notion that getting a no virus detected result in a blood test is nonsense. The hepatitis viruses exist and reproduce in the liver cells. Testing no virus detected in a blood test simply means the treatment is working. It takes years to clear the liver of ALL infected cells....Oscar

Thanks Oscar for your updated protocol for viral hepatitis. I have a few questions for ya. I'm currently under the anti-candida protocol provided by Bill here at EC. Have been on & off the protocol for over 2 years running now. Just don't seem to make much progress.

I have multiple health areas of concern including HSV(Herpes Simplex Virus) for almost 20 years now. I've never tried to treat the herpes on a consistent basis. In other words, I've not taken anything regularly for this condition through the years. I've NEVER taken any prescription meds for it. The only things I've used to treat it have been L-Lysine and Oil of Oregano.

I know there has been viral replication through the years in my body. I now have Hashimito's Thyrioditis along with candida overgrowth and who knows what other conditions not diagnosed. I did go through an extensive treatment for a 2 month period to try and kill the herpes virus but didn't work because I still get outbreaks. I used Oil of Oregano in high doses and L-Lysine in low doses during this timeframe.

In your opinion, would BHT be an option in trying to get the herpes simplex virus under control? I figure that if BHT works for hepatitis then why wouldn't it work with HSV since it's also a virus. I also have fatty liver disease(non alcoholic type) as well. I'm taking most of the anti-candida remedies suggested by Bill. I'm not on the iodine and a few others but take several of the remedies.

What would you suggest as the best route to go here? Should I continue with the anti-candida protocol before trying to kill the HSV? That's even if BHT will work for HSV. I do notice that I couldn't take any other supplements(other than yours listed) per your recommendations if using the BHT. I would have to stop a lot of anti-candida remedies in order to do this. Please let me know! Thanks and God Bless!

Dear Tony, For sure BHT has proven to be an effective treatment for ALL the different herpes viruses. I find it somewhat ironic that you asked this question. Because BHT was first being promoted as a treatment for the different herpes viruses back in the 1980s. It was me who tried BHT as a treatment for both hepatitis C and B back in 1997 with amazing results. I also used to have a variant of oral herpes. Since I started using BHT back in 1997 these oral herpes outbreaks cleared up also. As time went by these herpes outbreaks gradually disappeared and I have not had one for well over 10 years now.

You will find different opinions on how best to use BHT to treat herpes viruses. The take the BHT with a gulp of water method on an empty stomach method worked very well for me in the relatively small dosages I discuss.

Here are some others who have had very good results using this method:

• I know that it must be frustrating for those of you that post regularly to know there are many who read but who don't contribute. If you can find a way to keep my anonymous, feel free to post my experience. If you have questions that I can answer that may be helpful for others, I am happy to answer them.

  Thanks to you and Cathy and Oscar especially...it makes a difference even when you don't know it! Kara

Tony, I very much recommend keeping the treatment simple. By that I mean to NOT be mixing it with any other treatments including herbal treatments....Oscar

Hello Prioris from Fl:

I'm not taking Coconut Oil at this time. I have in the past per the anti-candida protocol from Bill. I used it for at least 3-4 months straight at different times over the past 2+ years. I can handle the EVCO pretty well in smaller doses(1tsp.-1tbsp. daily). When I go up to the 2 tbsp. dose then I do get pretty bad nausea.

I always take it with food just after meals. It's been a few months now since I was taken EVCO regularly. To be honest, I've tried so many things in the past 2+ years to try and get better but seem to have very limited results. I'm still holding onto faith that God will lead me to the right cure or treatment plan to finally get my life back. Thanks & God Bless!

Dear Tony, This candida infection is a fungal infection. So yes that does present a serious complication. Have you been tested for HIV/AIDS or not ? The reason I ask is because candida is often associated with an HIV infection. Also, have you tried the conventional antibiotics for candida or not ? Is this candida localized or in your blood ? I need some answers to these questions. BHT is effective as a treatment for many lipid coated viruses. I doubt it will help with candida. You can give the BHT a try but if this candida infection worsens you may be better off with what you are now doing. Of course you can try the BHT treatment along with the candida treatment and hope for some improvement with the herpes infection. It may just work and work well this other treatment. I really do NOT know....Oscar

Tony, In my opinion you have to make a choice: Go with these other treatments you discuss. If they are working stay with them. If they are NOT working there is the BHT treatment. The BHT treatment does NOT work well with most other treatments.

If you wish to give the BHT treatment a try use it as described. If it works you should see positive results in few months. For many the results are a dramatic improvement in 3 months or less. For some as little as one month.

So, if you choose to try the BHT use it as recommended. If it works you will know within said 3 months....Oscar

Hi Tony...Life Extension sell the 350 mg BHT supplements on their site at a very reasonable price. LE also recommends nutrients based on the research. Their magazine and research articles are also quite interesting.

Thank you for your in-depth information on your health update. I think I have hep c also and still wondering which test I would take to get the best results of finding out which hep virus I have. I started bht. also and had all the same symptoms as you. Terrible feeling. I am so happy your feeling better, God Bless. Thank you Joe.
