From Hep. Foundation Inter.

[Guest guest]

Hey group:

Did you get the newest newletter from Hepatitis Foundation

International yet? I got mine yesterday and here is one of the

articles in it:

NATURAL INTERFERON APPROVAL IN MEXICO:

Mexican authoritiies have recently approved the distribution on

natural interferon in Mexico for the treatment of certain types of

leukemia. Viragen International, Inc. is currently seeking approval

for expanded use of the natural interferon, including the treatment

of hepatits C. Natural interferon is often better tolerated than

recombinant interferon, and therefore provides and alternative

treatment for patients who did not experience success with the first

line treatments. Mexico has joined a growing list of countries that

permit the use of natural interferon; this treatment is not currently

approved in the US.

Just thought you might be interested in that. I don't have any

idea where they get the natural interferon at, cause if we could

produce enough of it in our own livers, we would need the shots..

What do you all think of that? And why haven't they tried it here

in the US?

Hope this finds everyone in good spirits tonight.

May God bless you,

Sherry Lynn
