I purchased Kale yesterday for the first time after learning how good it was for us and the liver as well. I had it in a salad with other assorted vegetables but I had seen a few recipes about Kale chips and thought I need to try this. Earlier today I did but was skeptical ... was being the operative word. The...
I'm not sure when I was exposed to HCV. Probably as a teenager (I'm 52 now). I've never shared needles, and as I understand it's quite hard to get from unprotected sex, I don't think I got it from that either (question mark though). I probably got it from surgery/contaminated needles in hospital during...

I've had this happen before but I tried to reply to Tig's post at the Sov/Riba Train and it just brought up my previous post as if I had tried to edit it (I didn't hit the edit button). Tried several times and still can't post there, still having the same results. In another incident, I noticed a new member (...

I've been using Gatoraid Propel kiwi strawberry water flavoring in my bottled water. It's single serve packets. I just realized today that the packet says in small writing "water beverage mix with vitamins". Anyone know if these are safe to use with treatment? I've used these for a few ye...

I can't help but notice that we can edit but not delete a post. Am I missing something or is it meant to be this way? Just curious in the event we write something, post it and think, nah, I really did not want to say that Cheers
As a 44 year old male, I have always been blessed with good health. After about a year of overdrinking, I was getting "liver pains" last summer so I decided to stop drinking and to seek counseling. Part of the regime included a CBC and tests for a series of diseases including HEP C. As usual al...

I would really appreciate some help/advice with these two questions: 1) Post treatment has anyone had any relief from the chronic ache in the upper right quadrant that Hep C sometimes causes? Or know of any research into this? 2) Does the post treatment ache in muscles and joints go away with time? Th...

Hi,I have found out that I have Hep C and the viral load is pretty high (14 mil). I was wondering if anyone knew what makes the viral load increase. Why does the viral load not have a link to progression? Is there anyway to make it go down on your own (not in replace of treatment but to help)? I just don't under...
Does anyone know if the topical application of "essence" or "pure" oils, cut by 50% with a carrier oil like grape seed oil is recommended by treatment team doctors?

Nearly all HIV/HCV coinfected patients treated for 12 weeks with an interferon- and ribavirin-free regimen of sofosbuvir (Sovaldi) and daclatasvir (Daklinza) achieved sustained virological response, but the cure rate fell to 76% for those treated for only 8 weeks, according to results from th...
I see to the left there are some Emoticons, and it says page 1 of 2. Then you click on "More Emoticons" and it takes you to another page. How do you get those into the text? I searched for an answer but didn't find anything.
Lysol spray or cleaner Has anyone seen this new commercial...loks like it's set in a classroom and the teacher has a board with all the things the aerosol will wipe away. Hepatitis C was at the top of the list. Is this responsible advertising? It would appear by this add that the virus is on surfaces or...

I have looked through the files (Stickies)| here and I cannot find one that pertains to all the blood work values regarding the liver and body in general. There are charts out there and sites because I have noticed a number of people ask about their values even though the "Norm" is typically...

I have a huge problem taking pills and even very small ones just love to get stuck in my throat. I suppose if I gulp enough water with it the chances of that happening will be less. I know some medications should not be split because of protective coverings and time release etc. Is this the case with Harvo...
