I was so relieved to see a video on Infergen. Where I live there is only one Liver specialist and I got him to let me try infergen. My viral lode went from 6million to 2.5 million after only 1 month of treatments but..he refused to give me more because he said I should have been UD. Now I am stuck. I can find no doctor to give me a new prescription. I am on fixed income and cant drive to other area's to see different doctors. But for anyone with Geno type 1A..this drug works.

I would like to know if Dr. Palmer will consider doing a video regarding non-alchololic and/or hepatitis originated cirrhosis. Such as cirrhosis caused either by alcholol, drugs, toxins, inhalant abuse - and the like.

The reason is that I think I myself may have cirrhosis due to my,(admittedly), completely irresponsible and foolish usage of inhalant/prescription/toxin abuse.

Great presentation with loads of valuable information . I hope that there a more Dr. Palmer videos available to people with liver disease.
I think that videos such as this can give patients insight into the treatment options open to them and to make them more secure in their future.

I found this video very informing and it helped me understand more about the treatment and side effects of hepatitis C. Thank youDr Palmer for easing my mind.
