My daughter has hep c. We do not know her numbers. She started taking BHT on 2/6/16. For four days she took one caplet in the morning with water before she ate. She said she was feeling great on all four days. On day 5 I told her to take two caplets at the same time. I think that was a mistake. A couple of hours she said she started feeling sick to her stomach and sweating really bad. By the end of the day she was vomiting. Day six she took one caplet. She's still not feeling any better and vomiting after she eats. Should she stop taking the BHT and wait for her to go back to normal or keep taking them?

Hi Robin,
Sorry to hear your daughter is having side effects from BHT. I truly hope Oscar is still reading posts on Earth Clinic and can respond.
I have been taking BHT off and on for a 30 year old Epstein Barr virus since last summer and I can tell you it's intense! I never had the symptoms your daughter had, but I did get sinus pressure and a sore throat after a few days. A friend of mine who was also taking it for an old Epstein Barr virus had the same symptoms as I, but much worse. We both believe it was working on killing off the virus. I haven't had a follow up blood panel, so I can't say how well it has worked yet.
I can only take BHT for 5 days at a time and then I need to take a break for a few weeks. If me, I would stop taking it immediately. You didn't say what dosage she was taking. Please look up the exact dosage that Oscar recommends on the site on the Viral hepatitis and Hep C pages of Earth Clinic. I take 1/2 a capsule of 350 mg. BHT (mine's from Vitamin Research Products). Oscar stresses many times that you should never take more than 1 dose of BHT per day.
I think you might want to get her numbers and then proceed very carefully with BHT. Perhaps you can find a holistic doctor to help you (there are a few in the area). In my opinion, BHT is an amazing supplement, but it's very powerful.
