Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 There is no cure for Hepatitis C. Having said that some doctors are saying that if you reach SVR and maintain it pass a certain point then you are quote "cured" But one drink of alcohol can cause it to return, remember that. Alcohol must always be avoided if you ever had Hepatitis C. Just a simple fact we heppers must accept. love Janet>> My question is simply this. Is there a cure for Hep C? I have heard of EVR, SVR and remission - undetectable blood counts, etc. Once you have been infected, can you be cured?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 There is no absolute cure . You can attain a viral load which is undectable but even then trace amounts of the virus are still going to be in your cells forever . Cure for Hep C? My question is simply this.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Not at this point Annette,, altho some docs like to call it a cure after you have remained SVR for many years, it is still in your body,, just maybe not enough to be detected in your blood,, hopefully someday, they will find a real cure! jaxAnnette Bolinger <annette4peace@...> wrote: My question is simply this.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 is there a test then to find the Hep C? Hypothetically, if you were diagnosed with Hep C - went through therapy and went into remission and lets say you moved far away from family, docs and friends and lost your memory and no one knew you ever had it. Would it show up in your blood? > > There is no absolute cure .

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 annette, unless someone tests FOR hep c, it wont show up,, there is a "specialized" test for Hep C, Hep B, HIV,, but those typically are not part of a rountine CBC, lipid panel or LFT panel.. its a separate test all together,, so if they just do a rountine CBC, nope it wont show,, annette4peace <annette4peace@...> wrote: is there a test then to find the Hep C?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yes it will always be present in your blood , it just wouldn't be an antigen showing that you were exposed to the disease, Cure for Hep C?>>> My question is simply this.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I was reading Dom's site on kefir and came across this paragraph (under Herbal Kefir) Concoctions such as the above, can be prepared to amplify the anti-candidiasis property of kefir. The therapeutic benefits of such kefir-herbal concoctions, may be amplified even further with the addition of Vitamin C and fresh kefir grains, blended together in a food processor to prepare a smoothie; a smooth, creamy beverage with desirable consistency and flavour. As an example, 1/4-cup fresh milk kefir-grains and 500 mg Vitamin C blended with 1-cup strained herbal-kefir, prepared just before consumption. I have discovered that such a concoction has a beneficial effect in correcting gastric problems, including irritable bowel disease, liver problems due to hepatic infection such as Hepatitis C. This is stated through personal experience, for I believe that long term use of such a concoction is the main factor for a spontaneous cure of Hepatitis C in my case, including Ulcerative Colitis [uC] in 1999. Even though current day orthodox medics believe that one goes into remission from UC, my particular case raised some interest among my Dr and his peers, for recent colonoscopy found no evidence of the disease. This can only assume a complete cure, even though my current Dr who is a specialist in gastroenterology, suggests that I may never have had UC in the first place [And of course he would conclude this, for a cure to UC goes against his trained belief]. However, independent diagnosis 10 years prior made by two of his medical peers both of whom are also extensively experienced gastroenterologists, can not be dismissed that easily. this can be found, along with everything you ever wanted to know about kefir :-) at http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html#eat-kg once you have the kefir grains, it doesn't take long to start producing enough grains to take the amounts he is talking about. It would take probably about a month or two--at least that's the amount of time it took my grains to start multiplying rapidly, daily. No--sorry, don't ask me to send you any. I got lazy, left my grains sitting for a long time in the same milk, and I think I about killed them. I'm trying to bring them back to life, but not sure if I'm succeeding. Hard to tell, because I'm now using raw milk, which will curdle on its own and look like the same product that the grains make. But the grains aren't growing, so I'm not sure if the milk is curdling or the grains are s-l-o-w-l-y coming back to life. samala, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
