HI.Yes yre right but Tat wrote that she thought that a capsule is 600mg instead

of 200mg.If the dose is based on bodyweight she has to take 12 a day.Oh boy I

did it again.I finally starting to believe that I have a sustained response.(the

PCR say so but my mind had it.s doubts).The faint feeling I always had around

the liver area has gone.I think the liver has tremendous power of healing itself

once the virus is gone.I think that even a failed treatment,relapse,has it.s

benefits because during treatment the liver will heal to a certain extend-.I.am

thinking of going on a holiday,the last one I took seven yrs ago.I met a nice

Nepalese guy and he invited me to come to Nepal. He is a distant member of the

royal family.See the Himalayas and then die.Willem.---- Original Message -----

Willem, I took 6 a day. It's based on weight.
