BHT has been evaluated extensively by the World Health Organization as to toxicity. A report published by them discusses all this and is a compilation of over 50 studies that were done over a long period of time. I am new to this forum and am not sure if I can link to that study or not. I will try to. If I remember correctly they state that BHT is non-toxic to the liver at 25mg per kilogram of body weight per day. A 110 pound person wieghs 50 kilograms and 50x25=1, 250mg. Though some others consider that a safe dosage for HEALTHY people, I do not, and you are not a healthy person.

I weighed and still weigh about 180 pounds. I successfully treated my hepatitis-C infection using only 200mg per day of BHT with water on an empty stomach. I do not know of a safer more effective treatment than BHT taken in the small doses I have discussed. It is usually sold in 350mg capsules but you can open the capsules up and split that in half. Just pour about half of the capsule out and put the capsule back together. I also recommend you simply lick your finger and dab it on the BHT crystals and lick your finger to see if you have any ill effect as an added safety precaution. Most people have no ill effects using BHT in the small dosages I have discussed. I never had any ill effects. Some people have reported dizziness using BHT. But they are often taking higher doses also.

I don`t know what to say. It sounds like you are very sick. I was not as sick as you are, though I was quite ill and had a failing liver: jaundice, dark urine, nausea and such. If you decide to try BHT, do that little taste test I suggested and work your way up carefully to make sure you have no ill effects. And, like I said, I weigh about 180 pounds and 200mg per day of BHT worked for me just like I said: in about 3 to 4 weeks. You still need to keep taking it even when you feel well because it takes years of daily dosing to actually free your liver of all infected cells. BHT destroys the viruses in the blood and intercellualar fluids, not inside a living cell. But the liver is constantly creating new cells and a true cure can eventually be acheived with daily dosing. I now test negative using even the antibodies and antigens tests for both hepatitis-B and hepatitis-C. This is what the VA, Veterans Administration told me in 2006. They do not prescribe BHT. I self treated this infection. BHT is NOT a prescribable treatment for hepatitis-C or anything else at this time as far as I know. I pray for your full recovery with whatever you decide to try....Oscar

I have been taking it ever since, and have another appt. this Thursday with an Infectious Disease specialist. He wants to discuss a "New" treatment, probably that protease that's being used along with ribarivin and interferon. I do not want to go that route, because of the side effects. I think I am feeling a lot better and would not be surprised if my viral load is now undetectable. It was reduced by 50% in one month; and it has been three since my last lab. If it hasn't gone down significantly, I will amp it up to 250 mgs. twice a day. I just can't decide if I'm going to tell my doctor about my BHT protocol. Maybe I will just wait until it disappears and then tell him how and why. But so far, I feel the BHT has been very effective.

Anyway, this other forum member who has HCV type 1a has posted similar results using the same dosage you have been using: She reported a two thirds reduction in her viral load count after about 8 weeks of using the BHT at the same or close to the dosage you have been using. Her liver function test results returned to NORMAL or healthy readings also in that 8 weeks of treatment with the BHT.

Also, I have been posting some other people`s test results in this forum as have others. From the feedback available: It seems that dosages of between 200mg and 350mg of BHT taken TWICE a day is best for most average size adults. But if that double dosing so to speak causes significant side effects, that is no reason to get discouraged. Those smaller dosages DO work, it just takes a little longer is all. So if you can tolerate this twice a day dosing without significant side effects, that is what seems to work best from the feedback available at this time. If not, just stick with the once a day dosing, you ARE getting well. You WILL get those no virus detected results. This BHT really does work as a treatment for hepatitis C in all of its variants.

Please keep in mind that the conventional treatments for HCV type 1a are on average 48 weeks of the interferon ribavron and only work for about 50% of the people so treated when some third, new compound is added to that mix. And, very importantly: Many if not most of those people relapse within 5 years. Those conventional treatments are quite toxic and cannot be taken indefinately under the best circumstances [ those people who can tolerate them without very serious side effects for 48 weeks].

Now, I need to be very clear about this: Simply achieving a NO VIRUS DETECTED RESULT does NOT mean you are cured of hepatitis C. All it means is that there was no HCV virus detected in your blood at the time the test was done. Your liver will still be full of infected cells. BHT can NOT uninfect a living liver cell. NOTHING can do that. BUT, every cell in a person`s liver is a new cell in about every year or so. With the BHT you simply keep taking it as long as neccessary [ at least 2 years in my experience and opinion ]. Probably longer than 2 years. BUT, and this is the beauty of this BHT stuff: There is very substantial proof that BHT is in fact good for you. That PHYSIOLOGICAL REVIEWS article I have refferred to in the past shows an average lifespan increase in mice dosed with BHT of 21% to 32% in mice dosed with BHT over their entire lifetimes compared to undosed mice.

So, like I said: just keep taking the BHT and eventually you will be truly CURED of hepatitis C. Please keep the forum updated with any and all test results. That is extremely important. And when you do achieve those NO VIRUS DETECTED results, please do tell your doctor how you did it. I have been trying for over 14 years now to get the medical establishment to wake up to the fact that BHT cures hepatitis C. This BHT stuff really does work. Not sort of, or maybe it helps somewhat. BHT CURES HEPATITIS C!!! ...Oscar
