Subj: Sincere thanks and a bit of my story

Dear Mr. Wright:

Firstly, I am a 60 year old male who can truly relate to your life/lifestyle back "in the day", perverse humor (compliment), and your brave journey to save your own life when all the "experts" said you were nuts and just accept death. The difference being that I had you as my personal guide, along with a few doctors who told me about you and provided additional guidance.

Amoxicillin and many other drugs can raise the viral load millions of points, overnight

This is the results sent to me by one of my clients. She was prescribed Amoxicillin today, as she is experiencing a secondary condition, the flu. This secondary condition when combined with hep c offers us with hep c a difficult task as we are often sicker longer and with some more sever difficulties than people without hep c.

I found out I caught it at the earliest stages ever

In September 2008 I started Peg Interferon. I stopped after 6 months. Here is my story:

My name is Nick I am a now 30 year old father of an almost three year old little girl named _____.
( D.O.B.: ) and husband of a 32 year old wife named _____  (D.O.B.: ) I was 27 going on 28 years old when I found out I got the Hep. C Virus. About 6 months to a year before that I was giving plasma every 6 months until finally the next time I went in to give it I found out that recently I caught the Hep. C virus.

I am not a stupid woman, just one that is dying on this drug

Dear Llyod,
My last visit to my Hep C specialist a week ago, I ran into someone I have known all my life and he said he was just finishing off a 48 week treatment.

We agreed ro wait for eachother and have a chat.
At this point I was in my 11th week of treatment.  Five ribo pills per day and an injection per week of interferron.

First Tests Since Starting Your Program

My Hep C Story By Steven Gibbons

My HepC story.
By Steven Gibbons

In Nov. 2008 I was diagnosed with Chronic Hep C. I must have contacted it in the 70's either through a blood transfusion or drug usage. It is even very possible I contacted it through the many dental procedures I had in the 80's. There is really no way to know and it really does not matter. What I do know is that when the symptoms started coming out it was at a stage where I needed to do something or eventually die from liver failure or cancer.
