i have hep c. doctor used interferon on me..after a year i got only 1 result negative but in the next one it was again positive. My cousin also had hep c but it was slight, not like me.

he has used a herbal medicine from here in Pakistan and now he has a negative result.

That is great news for your cousin! I am a true believer in some of the all natural herbs like Milk Thistle, etc. if used with the understanding they may help MAINTAIN liver health not cure it. Also, I just want to clarify that a negative result is not really negative...it just means low enough to be undetectable on the standard test. It is a matter of terminology and I am sure you knew that. Anyway, Congratulations to your cousin & you hang in there! God Bless!

I am so sorry this happened to you. You seem to be such a wonderful, caring person. My heart breaks for you and your family. It's wonderful that you are outlasting the doctor's estimates. No doubt that your attitude and beautiful heart is helping.

Beautiful, thought provoking video and I'm tearing up at work! I'll pray for you and your family and I send you all the best vibes I can. I am 2 year svr now. How are you doing now?

[qtpie20121]

I have lived much longer than any doctor had predicted so that goes to show the power of prayer! I have had such an outpouring of love from others that it helps to keep me going. My health declines but my faith increases each day. Success stories like your always makes me smile congratulations! God Bless You!

Hi Margo, don't quit unless it's an absolute must. My 1st treatment was the worst. I worked f/t 7 months then became fatiqued, short of breath, achy, and real blah so I took temp disability from work. Rest, drink a gallon of water a day to flush your system and hydrate your skin. Get a good body lotion,take motrin and I take folic acid/b-complex, have supportive friends, I care for my yard and house alone I am on week 40. Start a hair loss treatment now. Treat this like the flu fluids and rest.
