Posted By Jerry (New Iberia, La, Usa) on 12/22/2011

Have been diagnosed with hepaitits c typ 2. My family doctor has made me an appointment with a specialist that will probably treat me with interferon. Have read a lot of bad things about this drug. I am in desperate need of any advice and or therapy. Have read alot but do not know where to start. Any advice in layman's terms would be appreciated.

Dear Jerry from New Iberia, There is growing evidence here in this forum that BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] is a very effective and relatively safe treatment for hepatitis C. The dosages being discussed vary. From the feed back available at this time: For best results for average size adults take one 350mg capsule of BHT TWICE a day with a gulp of water on an EMPTY stomach. If you experience any negative side effects lower the dosage to one capsule per day. It will still work and work well at the lower dosage but will be likely to take longer [ a few months at lower dosages and a few weeks at the higher dosages ].

I always need to remind everyone that it takes at least 2 years of daily dosing with BHT to achieve a true cure. Simply achieving a NO VIRUS DETECTED result does NOT mean your liver is no longer infected. Your liver will still be full of infected cells. But if you keep taking the BHT on a daily basis: Eventually a true CURE is achieved because the liver completely renews itself about every year or so....Oscar

Dear Jerry, I will defer to the latest reports available from the Veterans Administration, the VA dated September 23, 2011 as an authorative answer to your questions here: http://www.hepatitis.va.gov/products/patient/treatment-update.asp

That website is written in such a way as to be easily understandable and the VA is very much a leader in the conventional treatments available for hepatitis C. There is a lot to be learned at that website and I have NOTHING to add to what is stated there....Oscar
