Hi folks -
I do not have hep-C (but my son does). If I did have it (or hep-A or hep-B), here is what I would do:
First of all, I would NOT take MMS. It might work, but I have just seen too many reports of how tricky it can be to use and side effects I would not want to face. Now, I cannot swear that what I would take would result in ultimately never testing positive for Hep-C (even if the virus is completely cleared it may take a long time for the antibodies that will trigger a positive test to ultimately disappear from the body); however, I can pretty much guarantee that you will end up with a viral load of 0, live as healthily as someone who does not have hep-C, if not more so, and have the side benefits of having a strong immune system, a regenerated and healthy liver, and likely never contract cancer. Plus, you will accomplish all of this with primarily using safe and natural supplements and practices. To begin with, I would do a good liver cleanse. There are many to be found but here is one you can make up and do yourself: 5-day liver cleanse. It is best to have day 4 on a Saturday or at a time when you are staying at home. Day 1: Drink 1 liter (4 cups) of apple juice during the day. Eat as normal otherwise. Day 2: Drink another liter of apple juice. Eat normally Day 3: Drink a 3rd liter of apple juice. Eat normally Day 4: Do not take any sold food after lunch time 6pm - Take one level tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water 8pm - Take another tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water. You may find that you already have to take a trip to the toilet before the 8pm Epsom salt. 10pm - Mix one half glass of olive oil and three quarter glass of freshly squeezed grape fruit juice by shaking it very well in a jar with a lid so that it mixes well and immediately get into bed after drinking the mixture. You will probably make more than one trip to the toilet during the night as well as during the next day. Day 5: 6am: Take another tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water 8am: Take one final tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water. You will find that many gallstones from the liver will be passed and one will notice them in the toilet. They will vary in size from about pin head size to 10mm. Gallstones in the liver are a major cause of many health problems. (You can read about this in much more detail in Andreas Moritz's book ' "The liver and gallbladder miracle cleanse" which you can download from his site at www.ener-chi.com). I would next opt for the 12-herb combination that CureZone member Boatman recommends - he has made a believer out of me! The herbs: milk thistle ,dandelion (seed?),burdock,turmeric,oshwaganda,buplerurum(chinese),licorice,chorella,sprulina,bladderack,astragulas,eluthero.EQUAL PARTS. As Boatman has posted anyone desiring more info on the herbs should contact Celia at THe Herb Corner in melbourne,fl. 321-757-7522. I would also add the two other anti-oxidants used in the Berkson Clinical Study with 100% success of normalizing liver functions in three women who were facing either transplants or the horrid and largely ineffective interferon chemo treatments (which are not often successful and those I have spoken with who have had them say that death might be preferable). Those anti-oxidants are: Two other items I consider vital to anyone's health are: What I would do with the herbs and anti-oxidants is take all of them for two months and then continue to take milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, turmeric, trace minerals and iodine. I would also take large amounts of a quality colloidal silver - such as four ounces a day of Utopia Silver's Advanced Colloidal Silver. It's not the cheapest silver, just the best. And first time buyers can take advantage of a buy-one get-one free offer for up to 3 bottles. That would give you 6 bottles for about 75 bucks and last for 12 days at 4 ounces per day. Colloidal silver is deadly to virtually all single celled pathogens - the key is taking enough. Be sure to supplement with a good pro-biotic to help re-establish beneficial internal flora, both during and after the period of taking the silver. Then I would add oleander, which you can make at home for little to nothing after you acquire a good source of pesticide free oleander or, better still, you can get the wonderful Sutherlandia OPC product which costs about $45 for capsules or $60 for extract, including shipping, It contains 80% oleander and 20% Sutherlandia Frutescens (the capsules have a bit more of the Sutherlandia). For information on the Sutherlandia Frutescens, see http://www..sutherlandia.org. After your first month or two of oleander, you can drop back to a maintenance dose of about 1/5th the therapeutic dose and thus a bottle of the OPC will last for 5 months. I would never stop taking it, just as I never stop taking oleander now (I take a home remedy version made by the most experienced oleander maker in the US but would turn to the OPC if I had a serious condition like Hep-C or cancer). You will always have a strong immune system and it will be extremely unlikely for you to ever develop cancer - especially if you embrace a good healthy lifestyle and a diet of mostly raw vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds, fermented grains, roots, tubers and, once your viral load is zeroed out, SOME healthy meats (organic free ranging beef and chicken in small amounts, cold water fish). If you go strictly vegetarian, be very careful and educate yourself on what you need to do in order to get all the vital nutrition you need (such as Vitamin B12). Of course you ARE going to embrace a healthy lifestyle and diet, aren't you? Lastly, I would take these extra steps to ensure proper bile flow and a healthy liver: I might also opt for a good blood support/liver tonic, such as the Blood Support tonic formulated by Jon Barron. That is how I would personally beat Hep-C. Even if I never tested negative for the virus, although I very well might, it would not really matter because for all intents and purposes I would be living a healthy life where the virus was totally suppressed at all times. If anyone did continue to test positive after the above suggestions and that really concerned them, I would suggest that they come back with more colloidal silver and take it over a longer period of time. Given enough time and quantity, it will likely get the virus in the end. Personally, I would not worry all that much about it, knowing that I was going to be healthy regardless. DQ
The above liver cleanse can be repeated every month until one finds that for two months in succession no more gallstones are passed. The liver will then be clean.
Some people report being helped by Charlie's Liver Tonics; however I regret to inform you that many feel that he is a slick huckster who came to CureZone to make a killing on his $280 herbal tonic plus consultation fees. Though he has his supporters, ultimately there were too many complaints about his practices and abusive behavior towards CZ members and as a result he has been banned and I understand his forum is due to be dissolved.
His tonics may be good ones, but I think there are a number of good ones at far less cost available and I personally would not have any dealings with the man after seeing the way he has treated other members of CZ.

It is great to hear how well you have done.
In what I suggest, the oleander and the silver are two keys. And THAT should get your viral load to around a big ZERO.
A really good source of bloodroot, imo, is the Blood Support product formulated by Jon Barron. I would say that it is featured in many places on my website, but that would be advertising - lol.
Tell ya what - if you will change that gawdawful avatar, I might send you some sliver for free. Do you live in Texas? Might get you some free oleander too . . . anything but that avatar - it makes me want to SCREEEEEEAAAAAM!

Thanks for asking - hope you like it.!

Rather than damaging the liver, the suggested protocol helps repair the liver and enable it to regenerate and become healthy again.
I agree that the body needs a rest from herbs from time to time.

Here is an online quide and some info I found
These ranges are included as a guide. Different laboratories may use different ranges, and it is important to refer to the reference range that your laboratory is using.
CD4 count: Measured in cells/mm3. Range 0 to over 1600. Higher the better, over 200 reduces risk of opportunistic infections.
HIV viral load: Measured in copies/mL. Range from undetectable to over 1 million (rare).
Hepatitis C viral load (RNA): Measured in IU/mL. Range from undetectable to over 40 million. When over 400,000 it reduces the chance of treatment success.
ALT: Women:7-30 units/L. Men: 10-55 units/L.
AST: Women: 9-25 units/L. Men: 10-40 units/L.
ALP: Women: 30-100 units/L. Men: 45-115 units/L.
GGT: Women: over 45U/L. Men: over 65 U/L.
Bilirubin (direct): 0.0-0.4 mg/dL (US), 0-7 µmol/L (SI units).
Bilirubin (total): 0.0-1.0 mg/dL (US), 0-17 µmol/L (SI units).
Albumin: 3.1-4.3 g/dL (US), 31-43 g/L (SI units).
PT: 11-13.5 seconds (PT 1.5-2 times control is abnormal)
ALT (alanine aminotransferase ) should be monitored routinely, as if it continues to increase, it may mean HCV is getting worse.
The liver produces ALT, which helps produce salts and amino acids (which are used to make proteins). Increases in ALT are usually a signal of liver inflammation or damage. However, ALT is not a good marker for predicting HCV disease progression, or indicating how much your liver may already be damaged. This is because liver enzyme levels regularly go up and down in people with HCV.
Up to a third of people with chronic HCV always have a normal ALT, but some of them will have serious liver damage. Normal liver enzyme levels, even over time, do not mean that you have no liver damage.
AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is another enzyme involved in the production of amino acids but because it is made in the heart, intestines, and muscles, it is not a sensitive marker for liver injury.
AST is often used to monitor liver inflammation and damage in combination with other tests.
Though a bit confusing when it comes to ALT and AST, what that tells me is that you need to get on top of your hep-c problems right away and that conventional treatment is unlikely to offer much help - but that might be good news, since natural help is available. You just have to DO IT!
Be sure to check back in with us and let us know how your viral loads decrease and how you are feeling.

Sorry I did not notice your post - for some reason CZ fails to notify me consistently when people post and reply in forums I try to help in.
My opinion is that it would likely be a good idea for anyone to do a parasite cleanse based on what I have learned here on CureZone. Doing the liver/gallbladder cleanse without the parasite cleanse will probably be good in most instances - and part of the protocol is not friendly at all for parasites - but why not do the parasite cleanse too.
Thanks for the reminder.

Please do not forget that the viral load is completely irrelevant compared to fibrosis....that´s what really should worry us, the anatomical, physiological health of the liver tissue
