Why could you not have both? I mean the diagnosis currently excludes other

disorders, but that may be artificial in the extreme, no?

Alobar,

Your friend should not worry about coconut stimulating her thyroid. I have

not found anyone with an overactive thyroid who has had a problem. And I

don't believe they would. Coconut oil has a balancing effect on many health

conditions. For example, if someone is overweight it helps them lose weight.

If they are underweight it helps them gain. If the body has an excess or a

deficiency, coconut seems to pull it in the right direction. Coconut oil

would probably be of benefit to her. Coconut oil is a food and not a drug so

it does not have a drug like effect which forces the body in only one

direction. I think this is one of the reasons why coconut helps with so many

conditions.

In regards to hepatitis C, MCFA have been shown to kill the virus. I have

heard several testimonies of people with hepatitis C benefiting from coconut

oil.

Does anyone have information about Hep C and how contagious it is?

Thanks in advance,

Regardless of his hep status - it's harassment - it's childish and has no place

in a classroom environment of any kind.

Take your professor aside and tell him not of the hep but of the scabs and

comments and ask to be moved to a different research group.

Hepatitis C

In one of my classes we are doing a group research project, in my group is an

extremely obnoxious male whom I believe crossed a very dangerous line yesterday.

He told me a few weeks back that he was a recovering heroin addict and had been

in jail a few times, I looked him up on OTIS and sure enough, he was in there

for drugs and guns. Anyway, he told me that from using dirty needles, he

contracted Hepatitis C. He was telling me about his liver scans and all of

that, I also noticed that he sometimes looked " yellow " . He isn't that bright

and can be very obnoxious, I had mentioned to another group member that I am a

vegetarian and he over heard and has been making little comments here and there

which I just ignore. Well, yesterday, during lecture, he got my attention and

asked if was hungry and if I wanted to eat some flesh, I looked and he had

picked scabs from his hand and put it on the table that our group shares! I was

so disgusted that I almost threw up! I am used to obnoxious and crude people,

my family is full of them, but this took the cake! I know that Hep C is passed

through blood, could it be on the scab? Is this a health risk to other people?

I know about his status, so I moved farther away from him then ran to the

bathroom at break and washed my hands and then inspected them for any cuts that

I may have had. I want to know because I am contemplating going to our

professor about this and I don't want to make a big deal out of something that

may not be, especially because we are in the same research group.

Hi Dana and welcome to the forum.. First off, viral load has NO correlation to how much damage one has nor does LFT's have any correlation to the amount of damage. Yes, IF he still have virus, his liver IS STILL being damaged but his own immune system may be able to keep things moving slowly. How much damage did he have before tx? Even tho he didnt clear the virus, he still helped his liver by doing tx as just that alone reduces his chance of getting HCC by 40% over the next 5 years PLUS his histology may have improved from doing tx.Dana Burchell <burchedl@...> wrote: My husband was diagnosed with HEPC a year ago. He went through drug therapy, which ended in December but it did not put him in remission. He had another blood test in June which still shows virus in his system but the doctor told him if it wasn't worse than the one he had after treatment, he could put off further treatment for a while. My question is, if the virus is not growing, is his liver still being damaged? Is he really wise to put off further treatment just because his blood work isn't any worse than when he stopped treatment? How low will we go? Check out Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.

's biopsy results were a "2". He also is a genotype 2 which they said responded well to treatment but his did not. I have been reading about milk thistle and also about glyconutrients in relation to this disease. I thought maybe something that could make him healthier overall would help his body fight the virus. Do you have any information about the glyconutrients? I've seen plenty on the milk thistle. The dr did not want to take anything else while he was doing the drug therapy but now that he is between treatment, I think it can't hurt to try something else.

Yep, thats typical of the docs, the not wanting you to take milk thistle while on tx, and like I have said, I do NOT know of anyone who failed tx while on MT but I certainly DO know a LOT of ppl who failed tx when they stopped taking the MT when they started tx,, its really sad and a huge dis-service to the patient in my opinion.. cuz we all know that milk thistle IS effective! HE should have stayed on it throughout tx,, and certainly should take it now if he is up to it.. just my 2 cents jaxDana Burchell <burchedl@...> wrote: 's biopsy results were a "2".

My husband is in the construction business and is often away from home. When I visit him I notice he is getting back in the routine of alot of construction guys who work away from home in that he is starting to drink beer again. Beer after work while grilling supper, beer on the weekend while doing other projects... the question is, how compromised is his health by the liquor? I'm quite worried about it and how it could affect his bodies'resonse to the virus??? Jackie on <redjaxjm@...> wrote: Hi Dana and welcome to the forum..

IF he has hep c,, it will make his virus replicate TWICE as fast and that is NOT good for the liver,, he needs NOT TO DRINK...Dana Burchell <burchedl@...> wrote: My husband is in the construction business and is often away from home.

Hello,

I would like to know if hepatitis c is caused by candida, it's not on the list

of Candida causes and symtoms, also could this diet help my friend , she is in

pretty bad shape to the point that she drags her feet. She is on all kinds of

drugs from her doctor, to help with pain and everything that goes along with

this illness. Any help you could give me for her would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Angie

+++Hi Angie. A depressed immune system causes both hepatitis C and candida, and

of course all other health problems. This program isn't just for candida since

it is designed to build up the immune system, mainly with " proper nutrients "

which improves anyone's health, whether they have hepatitis C, candida etc.

also could this diet help my friend , she is in pretty bad shape to the point

that she drags her feet. She is on all kinds of drugs from her doctor, to help

with pain and everything that goes along with this illness. Any help you could

give me for her would be appreciated.

+++Your friend did not get Hep C because of a lack of drugs. She got it because

her body is in such poor condition, so it is lacking " proper nutrients " and

getting too many toxins - both of which cause any and all diseases.
