Just so you and other interested people know: A rapid improvement in overall health is not at all unusual. That is what happened for me many others. There are also those who have reported negative side effects. So you have to use care with this treatment.

So, at least for now: You have no problem tolerating BHT and have noticed an improvement in your health. Of course this is good news. Please keep this forum updated with any and all blood test results.

And the vitamin C seems to work well with the BHT treatment.

Your updates are appreciated. Feedback, good or bad is important for ALL the treatments discussed in this important forum. Again, Thank You, ...Oscar

I will keep the forum updated on a weekly basis till then. I plan to continue with my one morning capsule of BHT. I should also mention that I have very low bodyfat due to my training. It is around 7% at the moment. So one capsule a day should suffice based on Oscar's previous advice.

But my recommendation for people who weigh over 125 pounds to 200 pounds is two 250mg of BHT per day = 500mg of BHT per day.

These are rough guidelines based on years of feedback.

So, because you tolerate BHT well and have shown improvement go to two 250mg of BHT capsules per day = 500mg of BHT per day. If any problems occur drop back to only 250mg of BHT per day.

How much do you weigh Jay, in pounds please ?

You seem to be a rapid responder to or with the BHT treatment. I want to see you knock this infection out and fast the way I did.

You are doing it the way I did. Being careful and all that. But, once I knew I was safe taking BHT I did double the dosage to two 250mg capsules per day = 500mg of BHT per day. I want to see you get well and fast....Oscar

Firstly thanks for your encouraging words and all that you do to help people on this forum! My current bodyweight is around 150lbs at 5'10". So I am very lean due to my athletic background. I will increase the dosage as you suggested and report my results back to the forum in a week. Again thank you so much for your invaluable work!

As I stated: My guidelines as to dosage are rough ones. There are a number of factors that go into what a proper dosage of BHT is. These include:

1. body weight.

2. fat content of said body weight.

3. age.

4. overall health condition.

5. any and all other health problems.

6. any and all other medications a given person is taking.

7. the overall health of the liver. Cirrhosis of the liver does make the BHT treatment more difficult for example.

In all ways you seem to be a very good candidate for success with the BHT treatment. The ONLY problem you seem to be dealing with is a hepatitis C infection. And your positive response to this treatment is no surprise to me for those reasons.

Now living in London I do assume you should qualify for the different liver tests. Jay you can help yourself a lot by having those liver function tests done. They really do not cost very much. And when possible a VIRAL LOAD count test is very important. That test costs about 300 dollars US.

The first goal is to reach UNDETECTABLE with said viral load count tests. This usually takes about a month or so depending on how infected your liver is with hepatitis C. That does NOT mean you are CURED. What it does mean is that the BHT treatment is working the way it is supposed to work. The BHT is readily destroying those virus particles in the bloodstream as they occur as a result of infected liver cells dumping hepatitis C virons into the bloodstream in what is called a cellular burst. An infected liver cell literally bursts dumping a very many HCV virons into the bloodstream any one of which can infect a non-infected liver cell.

Now stay with me about this. Many doctors even get this wrong:

Your average liver cell lives about 200 days. Unlike most organs: The liver is constantly producing brand new liver cells. So, if you get to: UNDETECTABLE in that blood count test you are preventing any uninfected liver cells from becoming infected with the HCV virus. BUT, you still have a very many infected liver cells that will infect uninfected liver cells if you stop the BHT treatment. Therefore, you NEED to continue the BHT treatment for NO LESS than two years after you achieve UNDETECTABLE. It is the antibodies test that shows a TRUE CURE. When you test NEGATIVE with the HCV antibodies test you are CURED and not until then. Just to be very sure I would continue with the BHT treatment for at least one more year to make very sure there are no infected liver cells remaining AFTER you test negative with that HCV antibodies test.

I will state: A very many people get an UNDETECTABLE result with that HCV blood count test and then RELAPSE with whatever treatment. Do you understand what I am trying to explain ? The importance of continued BHT treatment after UNDETECTABLE is achieved in what is ONLY a blood test? And NOT a test of or about infected liver cells. Am I being clear enough about that for you to understand me? ...Oscar

Once again thanks for your prompt answers and invaluable information. I have indeed poured over every single post on this site regarding Hepatitis C. So I realize that an undetectable reading is simply an indication that the disease is contained but not yet cured. I lead a VERY disciplined life so it certainly wont be a problem to continue the treatment on a 100% basis until I am fully cured. There is always a temptation to add other things but in this case the BHT is proving so effective that I do not see a reason to. I fully intend to keep the protocol simple.

I have increased the dosage to 500mg per day and do not have any side effects. Apart from the improved breathing and clearer eyes, my sleep has also improved. I have been sleeping clear through the night now, whereas before I would often wake up at least once. This is after approximately 2 weeks on BHT.

I will of course keep the forum informed of my progress. Any news, either good or bad, will be reported. I hope that my experience will help others.

As mentioned before I intend to keep my protocol simple. However I was thinking of adding monolaurin due to it's powerful anti-viral properties. I have also read that it is a good candidate for use with BHT. What is your current thinking regarding this supplement and its use with BHT?

Jay

Replied By Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 07/02/2015

See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolaurin. So yes to monolaurin if you wish to use it. I use olive oil myself as a useful foodstuff. Olive oil is a mixture of many different lipids.

Just do NOT mix the BHT with the monolaurin when taking it. Wait an hour or more. BHT should be used by itself with water only for best results in my opinion. That is because BHT with water only is digested in a very different way than BHT mixed in any vegetable oil [ lipids ].

My new regimen is as follows:

• BHT 500mg/day
• Vitamin C 1000mg/day
• Multi-Vitamin/Mineral (Centrum one a day)
• Monolaurin 1100 mg/day.

Thanks as always, Oscar!

I am concerned that you might be overdoing it. If ANY adverse effects are experienced cut back on one or both of what are two different treatments. I have NEVER tried the monolaurin and for that reason cannot be relied on for help with dosage issues when both treatments are being used or monolaurin by itself for that matter.

It is my big hope that reach undetectable and fast. Please get yourself tested soon. You may very well be UNDETECTABLE already.

Then it is a matter of coming up with dosages you can tolerate for about 2 years. I am thinking once you get to undetectable it will be advisable to lower one or both of those dosages.

Once I got to undetectable: In about 4 weeks with the BHT alone: I was only using 350mg of BHT per day.

Now, Mike " twodragunns " did get to: A NEGATIVE test result with the hepatitis C ANTIBODIES test in somewhat less than one year using the 250mg of BHT twice a day = 500mg of BHT per day with water only on an empty stomach as reported here in this forum. And it did take me more than one year to get there using the 350mg of BHT per day in one dosage. I do not know how long it took me to get there.

And please keep in mind my position on all this: If adverse reactions to the BHT treatment occur ALWAYS take LESS. And if you or any other person chooses to use both the monolaurin treatment along with the BHT treatment the same is true for the monolaurin: If adverse reactions occur ALWAYS take less.

Careful dosing is required with these treatments and any and all treatments as far as that goes.

Please get that viral load count test and lets see where you are at right now. Also: those liver function tests are very important and not at all expensive. They only cost about 30 dollars US and that way you can know with some certainty how your liver function is tolerating the now two different treatments.

I preach this testing stuff over and over. It is the only way I know of to get an honest picture of what is going on inside of you....Oscar

Sorry for the immense delay in replying. I have had a hectic time in my personal life. I will keep this brief for the moment then post something more detailed if people are interested.

I was diagnosed as HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) about 6 months ago. Since then I have been taking BHT religously. I also adhere to a very strict diet and exercise regimen. I take other supplements too. Today my gastroenterologist informed me that I my HCV test was negative. In other words the viral load is undetectable. He did not pass on any other information than that. Oscar was correct all along. BHT works.
