Re: Hi Group, Could it be that My body holds the key to your cure

[Guest guest]

Hello Fabian,

I think most body's immune system should be capable of fending off

the virus. I believe it's the every day abuse we put our body thru

that weaken our immune systems to the point of not being able to

fight off the virus. Whether you drink alcohol, take drugs or what.

Just general abuse on the body can break the system down enough to

let the virus take over. I've read of those dx and opting for a

healtier life style, as appose to tx, that have kept the dragon at

bay. Goos luck.

Dear Fabian,

I have many links which you can browse for info; I have read and seen

various theories and research being done to find out what lets one of

us defeat the virus while another does not.

If you'll email me, I'll send them to you. And CONGRATULATIONS to

you. I have only one other friend who was able to clear HCV on her

own; she was a cocaine/alcohol/etc addict at the time, so I think

that our life style/unhealthy behavior has very little to do with

clearance.

JMHO,

Suzy

Fabian,

I haven't heard of any HCV studies that are looking into natural

immunities. Several years ago I heard of a study being conducted on

1 person with a possible HIV/AIDS immunity. It seems all his close

friends had HIV/AIDS and were dying while he did not show any signs

of illness. I'd have to do some searching to find the latest on

that patient/study.

Fabian,

In regard to your question, yes, there probably is an interest in

cases like yours. I assume that you were detected positive and HCV

was verified, rather than possibly just a false positive test with

no verification.

Her is an example outlining a one such research project. Go to this

U of California (San Francisco) web page and then scroll down

to: 'Liver Immunology'.
