Hi "Michael”,

A person who can afford (unapproved) stem cell therapy at £20,000 - £30,000 and ozone therapy is unlikely to be short of cash.

Your post is complete nonsense and your IP is blacklisted.

To avoid our members wasting any more of their valuable time on an obviously disturbed individual, we are removing you from the forum.

Wow, you guys are amazing, thank you so much for the beginners low down.

 

Firstly I have no experience with abreviations....Tx and Rx what are those?

 

I am Danish but lives in USA and was very surprised to experience the high level of

abreviations used especially within the medical field LOL

My treatments so far has been Drs who is doing very specific treatments like:

Stem cell therapy, Ozone, herbs, IV homeopathic and so on. It was very succesful

in the beginning but was too costly and second treatment was non succesful.

 

I am now looking into doing the medical treatments as I have seen too many people make the mistake to go

natural and end up in a bad place because of valuable lost time.

 

I will check out the links and see what I can integrate into my life. One of the consequences

of my Hep C is a lot of inflamation and this has caused my neck and nerves to be affected and

thus I get very spacey and short memory...please forgive me these short commings :)

 

I had all my internal organs scanned and they are all perfect. Liver has no scirrosis, or enlargement, no fat no hardening nothing!!

I am going to get my enzyme levels taken today as that I understand is quite important along with how I feel

and not neccesarily the viral load.

 

Oh, the outcome of the treatments in Mexico we lowered the viral load from 8.3 million to 3 million in 2 months with all natural medicine.

It stayed that low for a year with no treatments, but as I started a new treatment with herbs form a Dr here in Sedona USA it sky rocketed

for some reason. This is why I am coming here to end the natural treatments and start the regular treatments in this way.

 

I havent looked at the links yet so once I have done that I will check in with any questions I might have.

 

Blessings of peace everyone,

Michael

Hi Michael,

You said in your original post that you've already had treatment for Hep C in the US and Mexico and I'm a little surprised that insurance and patient assistance programs weren't explained to you then, if the cost of the meds was an issue. What treatment regime were you on and what was the outcome of the treatment?

http://hepcfriends.activeboard.com/t50686056/translating-my-viral-load-results/

Now that MJ has posted some excellent info, please let us know how you get on.

This is excellent information. I was so happy to find out my insurance was going to help so much with my treatment expenses. Then in the same thought I began to wonder about others who weren't so lucky. The sort of information in your post could make treatment possible for many folks. Not easy, but possible. Thanks for posting. Alan

Hi everyone,

 

I have many questions but will start with a few.

 

I am not a US citizen but is permanent resident.

My viral load is now 10,7 million. I am obviously concerned as it has tripled in short amount of time.

My question is, has any of you had to obtain medical insurance while being aware of your Hep C?

My understanding is that it will cost a fortune to go through treatments with out the ins, and I dont have that.

Any good advice how to proceed taking care of this body while having no medical ins?

Any support system for hep C patients out there that I should be aware of?

 

Thank you for a great forum!!!

Michael
