Guest guest Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Thanks , Quite interesting info. What a bitch the head injury. Hope it gets nothing but better. In anycase at least you are still able to communicate with other well know mental defectives like me and Sally. Sorry if I kept missing your earlier posts top of page is much easier to find. I too have the riba with a well balanced meal although believe low fat is good. been low fat so long it gives me acid refux if I eat fatty food, hamburger especially. I have a system to keep track of doses. Especially early in the treatment I sometimes missed a dose and would take one extra reba every day for next three days eventhough you'r not supposed to. that may not be a good idea but keeping track with a system is good when you can't rememeber stuff. Alas no beer for me. I take the riba after my first bite of food when stomach acid is highest to max the uptake. Then I wait until the end of the meal to take any other supplements. I don't want something like calcium to dominate uptake and cut the riba dose. In regard to growing HCV I would love to know the exact conditions the little buggers like what temp, ph, iron and mineral levels are optimal. For some reason in humans they seem to thrive in the high oxidant environment with lots of iron and copper. Not sure why but there is a mathematical model that can predict viral load based on copper, oxidant level and selenium and zinc. Reduce selenium and zinc and other antioxidants add more cooper and the little buggers florish. These bad conditions are typical of hep c chronic patients so the disease seems over time to actually help create a condition in the body that's bad for the immune system but good for viral growth and liver damage. This may explain why viral levels often go up slowly year after year the longer you have it. This was a study in Japan of people on chemo so to me it is the most important research study ever done. It points the way to improving treatment outcomes on chemo which I desperately wanted having such low odds to begin with.
