I listened to you closely about what you said at about 4:05 in about resistant strains and missing takeing a pill, plus your compromiseing yourself for several years in the future. After 48 weeks of peg-interferon & ribirvirin I wont be led down that road again with this new booster. Thank you however for letting the facts be known and I think the people who have been crowing in under a year after treatment they have cleared the virus are mostly misstaken.

I'm a former 1a who treated with Ribavirin and Interferon only. With Telaprevir, I understand it's every 8 hours ON THE DOT and with Boceprevir, is it just more flexible on timing as long as it's 3 times per day?

These protease inhibitors should enhance the treatment of Hepatitis C.

There are very interesting clinical studies being done on the grapefruit flavonoid, naringenin. This chemical has also removed the Hepatitis C virus and does not have the side effects of Interferon.

Hopefully continued research will give us a range of treatments.

After all treatments, viral tests need to be done for many years following the treatment. I suspect that Hepatitis C will reappear 50% of the time.
