An intro and some questions

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

My name is Terry, i live " up north " , near St Helen, Michigan.

I was diagnosed with hep c in april 2005, and began interferon and

ribavirin therapy in May. In November my blood counts got down to an

unsafe range and my doctor had me stop for a bit

over a month. I resumed in December and finished in the

begining of May of this year. On November first i went back for

my six month follow up results. Unfortunately, the treatment

did not work, and i still have the virus. So, my doctor tells me

i am out of options at this time. Live in a liver healthy manner,

and enjoy what time you have, were his words. Anyway, so much

for an intro....i have a few questions that i have not been able

to find answers to on the net or in the literature, or have found

conflicting answers.

Firstly, how long does the virus survive outside the body?

Secondly, what is the best way to kill the virus on a bloodied

anything? bleach? alcohol? peroxide? something other?

Thirdly, does milk thistle really help in liver health?

Lastly, are there herbal or other alternative cures that

really do work or help?

Thank you in advance for any helpful answers.

Terry
