Re: grapefruit and hep c

I have had hep c for 30yrs and digniosed about 10,I also have a friend I met on hepc nieghtborhood who has hep c and we have been through 3 treatments of interfron and ribiviran, both of us non responders, so we have for the last 8 monts been on grapefrut juice everyday without miss, my friend drank 16 oz a day every morning of non concentrat ( we buy Floridas narural) brand.for the first 6 months I ate 1 grapefruit a day, In sept we both had our regular blood work done, my friend enzyems were normal ! and her viral load was down by 2 million. mine was only somewhat lower, so now I follow her lead and drink 16 oz a day in the morning and we both have blood work due again in FEB/march. my friend is on no other medication, I am on coumidan for blood clots in my heptic portal vein and spleen (which is now gone) and I'm also on thyroid med and estrogen. i have had no problem with toxic build up from the grapefruit juice, i think not only has it help keep the hep c at bay I think it helped with the clotting and completely cured all diguestive problems I had such as gas, GURDs and indigestion, i will take grapefruit juice for the rest of my life because I believe it has really been a benefit for me and my friend. i hope this enfor helps.
