Undetectable

[Guest guest]

WOW! this IS FANTASTIC!!! I dont know anything about silkworms,, but I would love to find out more about them... Our bodies are amazing when given the right stuff,, it CAN and DOES heal itself.. and remember 'some' ppl do in fact clear this virus on their own with their own immune system,, but usually its in the first year of infection,, but do NOT rule ANYTHING OUT... At this point in time,, there is nothing "natural" that I know of that will cure this virus,, but the point being in this sentence is that "that I know of".. I hardly know anything,, there is much to learn.. Thanks for sharing with us,, now I want to learn more and you gotta help us,, hehe love jaxHunter <us2china2@...> wrote: What a fantastic day! I want to ask everyone what they know about

silk worms and the immune system. I will post part of a letter to my sisters and Mom here by way of explanation. I had a great day today! Today I went to the flower market. I spent about one weeks food money buying flowers for my doctor. I don't have a lot of extra money, so I may be eating rice for the next week, but I don't care. When I arrived at my doctor's home, she invited me in, thanked me for the flowers, fed me and gave me some more medicine. During the meal we talked more about my last test results. I can read the numbers, and I know which tests represent what. But what I didn't know, was what the Chinese characters on both sides of the numbers that correspond to my viral load meant. I could not read them. She said the first one, infront of the numbers, means less than, ( < ). And the ones after basically say undetectable. My test results

looked something like this ( # 5X10^2 #%##% ) All I could read were the numbers, which were very low, and I've been praising my doctor all week. My last test 6 months ago was 6X10^6 Which means 60*10*10*10*10*10 or 6,000,000 per ml. Pretty high. What she told me today is that 5X10^2 is the least amount the assay test can detect. I am, as of my test one week ago, undetectable! I talked to her for hours. There are three possible explanations. Spontaneous immune response. The fact that I was in love for the last three months. Or the one or two times I ate a very expensive Chinese medicine that was given me by another doctor/friend. This medicine is actually dead silk worms. These silk worms died because they ate the spore of one particular fungus. The fungus needs the silk worms. It only grow in the stomach of the silk worm. It grows

quickly, killing the silk worm, sprouts out of the head of the worm and releases a new batch of spores. Now how in the name of God did someone figure out that these dead silk worms can increase the body's immune system. I don't know, but I'm glad they did. I give this idea the most weight for two reasons. First, the way I found out about this medicine. I was working for a Korean man and had told him I was HCV positive. One day he called me to his office and introduced me to a friend of his from Korea. This man was an electrical enginneer and what I would call a psycic. He did not touch me, nor ask me anything except to hold still and clear my mind. After about five minutes in some form of light trance, He told me about most every medical problem I had ever had, told me I had only one current problem and it was my liver. He told me that God had told him to have me take this medicine. All this happened

about 6 months ago. The medicine is very expensive, and I thought the man was too strange to put much faith in, so I didn't even try to buy it. Then one day about two months ago I saw these dried silk worms at my doctor friend's house. She said they had been given to her family by a grateful patient, that they increase the immune system, that they were very expensive, and then she gave them to me. I later found out how expensive they are. The jar, about half full, would cost about 10,000 yuan, or $1250.00 US. I really want to find out more about this stuff now. I wish my Chinese was better. There is still much I can not understand. What I do understand is that fate, or God, or luck, puts the things I need easily within my grasp. I will never need anything that I don't already have, or can easily get. Just please let everyone that cares about me know... TODAY I AM UNDETECTABLE!

Then some mushy stuff to my family. I personally know that God works in mysterious ways. And I don't want to start any kind of religous discussion, but I need to say that I am not religous, and God is apparently ok with that.

What a fantastic day! I want to ask everyone what they know about silk worms and the immune system. I will post part of a letter to my sisters and Mom here by way of explanation.

The thing is, I don't know for sure if it was the sillk worms, love, or just my body finally getting a handle on this. I lay awake for a long time last night thinking. I made the error of letting fear come into my mind. I want to have her test me again to make sure there was no mixup in the lab.

y, thanks for posting. This medicine is called "Dong Cong Xia Cao" The Chinese probably eat silkworms other than those killed by this fungus too, but I have no idea what properties they might contain.The words you use "jiang can" are indeed the pinyin (westernized) versions of Chinese words. However without the pronunciation marks, or the actual character, I can not tell which words they are. "Can" ( ²Ï ) is one word that means silkworm. There are two others,( É£²Ï Zang Can, ¼Ò²Ï Jia Can ) both containing this character, but neither has the word Jiang. I only know a little Mandarin, so this might be any of more than 100 languages spoken in China. It most reminds me of the Mandarin word for health or fitness, "Jiankang", which would make sense in that it is used here mostly to promote good health, and a strong constitution. Further, the Chinese don't use the pinyin forms of words

very often, and in fact many Chinese can't read or write in pinyin, so this may be a misspelling of the word Jiankang. Even further, the Cantonese and Hong Kong do not strictly adhere to the rules of writing pinyin, but my best guess is that the words you used are indeed meant to describe ½¡¿µ or Jiankang. I asked my doctor before taking this medicine, and she assured me that it could not hurt, and told me that she had not prescribed it to me before because of the cost. I'm out of here for the day, but while I'm out I'll try to find out more about this. One question. Did the silk worms you know about die from a fungus? We may be talking about two different medicines. The fungus is a very important part of this medicine, and used in determining the quality. Mr. Wang told me to buy the most expensive I could find because it was priced by quality. I'll try to get a photo and post it. Zhu nimen

hao yun Good luck to everyone. Eat well, sleep well, be well!

I am SO happy for you. That is amazing what happened to you. Let me say without stepping on anyone's toes, that I am religous and God is doing miracles in your life. That is only my opinion everybody. Not trying to have a discussion on the topic. Since I came to this group I have added all of yalls names to my prayer list everyday and I will continue to pray for all of yall. Way to go Chris!! You done good!!!Hunter <us2china2@...> wrote: What a fantastic day! I want to ask everyone what they know about silk worms and the immune system. I will post part of a letter to my sisters and Mom here by way of explanation. I had a great day today! Today I went to the flower market. I spent about one weeks food

money buying flowers for my doctor. I don't have a lot of extra money, so I may be eating rice for the next week, but I don't care. When I arrived at my doctor's home, she invited me in, thanked me for the flowers, fed me and gave me some more medicine. During the meal we talked more about my last test results. I can read the numbers, and I know which tests represent what. But what I didn't know, was what the Chinese characters on both sides of the numbers that correspond to my viral load meant. I could not read them. She said the first one, infront of the numbers, means less than, ( < ). And the ones after basically say undetectable. My test results looked something like this ( # 5X10^2 #%##% ) All I could read were the numbers, which were very low, and I've been praising my doctor all week. My last test 6 months ago was 6X10^6 Which means 60*10*10*10*10*10 or

6,000,000 per ml. Pretty high. What she told me today is that 5X10^2 is the least amount the assay test can detect. I am, as of my test one week ago, undetectable! I talked to her for hours. There are three possible explanations. Spontaneous immune response. The fact that I was in love for the last three months. Or the one or two times I ate a very expensive Chinese medicine that was given me by another doctor/friend. This medicine is actually dead silk worms. These silk worms died because they ate the spore of one particular fungus. The fungus needs the silk worms. It only grow in the stomach of the silk worm. It grows quickly, killing the silk worm, sprouts out of the head of the worm and releases a new batch of spores. Now how in the name of God did someone figure out that these dead silk worms can increase the body's immune system. I don't know, but I'm glad they

did. I give this idea the most weight for two reasons. First, the way I found out about this medicine. I was working for a Korean man and had told him I was HCV positive. One day he called me to his office and introduced me to a friend of his from Korea. This man was an electrical enginneer and what I would call a psycic. He did not touch me, nor ask me anything except to hold still and clear my mind. After about five minutes in some form of light trance, He told me about most every medical problem I had ever had, told me I had only one current problem and it was my liver. He told me that God had told him to have me take this medicine. All this happened about 6 months ago. The medicine is very expensive, and I thought the man was too strange to put much faith in, so I didn't even try to buy it. Then one day about two months ago I saw these dried silk worms at my doctor friend's house. She said

Hi , YOU are NOT stepping on anyones toes,, while we dont like to get into serious religious discussions here,, we DO respect each persons right to express his/her opinion as long as we dont start talking semantics, etc,, you know what I mean,, Thank you for putting us on your prayer list,, I FOR ONE appreciate all the prayers I can get,, lol,, You are on mine too! hugs jaxnicole stevens <ans412@...> wrote: I am SO happy for you. That is amazing what happened to you. Let me say without stepping on anyone's toes, that I am religous and God is doing miracles in your life. That is only my opinion everybody. Not trying to have a discussion on the topic. Since I came to this group I have added all of yalls names to my prayer list everyday and I will continue to pray for all of yall.

Way to go Chris!! You done good!!!Hunter <us2china2@...> wrote: What a fantastic day! I want to ask everyone what they know about silk worms and the immune system. I will post part of a letter to my sisters and Mom here by way of explanation. I had a great day today! Today I went to the flower market. I spent about one weeks food money buying flowers for my doctor. I don't have a lot of extra money, so I may be eating rice for the next week, but I don't care. When I arrived at my doctor's home, she invited me in, thanked me for the flowers, fed me and gave me some more medicine. During the meal we talked more about my last test results. I can read the numbers, and I know

which tests represent what. But what I didn't know, was what the Chinese characters on both sides of the numbers that correspond to my viral load meant. I could not read them. She said the first one, infront of the numbers, means less than, ( < ). And the ones after basically say undetectable. My test results looked something like this ( # 5X10^2 #%##% ) All I could read were the numbers, which were very low, and I've been praising my doctor all week. My last test 6 months ago was 6X10^6 Which means 60*10*10*10*10*10 or 6,000,000 per ml. Pretty high. What she told me today is that 5X10^2 is the least amount the assay test can detect. I am, as of my test one week ago, undetectable! I talked to her for hours. There are three possible explanations. Spontaneous immune response. The fact that I was in love for the last three months. Or

the one or two times I ate a very expensive Chinese medicine that was given me by another doctor/friend. This medicine is actually dead silk worms. These silk worms died because they ate the spore of one particular fungus. The fungus needs the silk worms. It only grow in the stomach of the silk worm. It grows quickly, killing the silk worm, sprouts out of the head of the worm and releases a new batch of spores. Now how in the name of God did someone figure out that these dead silk worms can increase the body's immune system. I don't know, but I'm glad they did. I give this idea the most weight for two reasons. First, the way I found out about this medicine. I was working for a Korean man and had told him I was HCV positive. One day he called me to his office and introduced me to a friend of his from Korea. This man was an electrical enginneer and what I would call a

psycic. He did not touch me, nor ask me anything except to hold still and clear my mind. After about five minutes in some form of light trance, He told me about most every medical problem I had ever had, told me I had only one current problem and it was my liver. He told me that God had told him to have me take this medicine. All this happened about 6 months ago. The medicine is very expensive, and I thought the man was too strange to put much faith in, so I didn't even try to buy it. Then one day about two months ago I saw these dried silk worms at my doctor friend's house. She said they had been given to her family by a grateful patient, that they increase the immune system, that they were very expensive, and then she gave them to me. I later found out how expensive they are. The jar, about half full, would cost about 10,000 yuan, or $1250.00 US. I really want to find out more about this stuff now. I wish my Chinese

Thank you so much to everyone for all the info and support. I was thrilled with the results, but then the next day I became very ill, (high fever, vomiting, SEVERE ear pain) I have been miserable this week with a raging inner ear infection. I have not had one since childhood and I am in terrible pain. I went to my PCP on Wed. and she said it was "one of the worst she had ever seen" put me on Augmentin EX and Vicodin for pain. I have a pulsating pain radiating down my neck, to my left eye, to the back of my head. The pain med only makes it tolerable... I am suffering! I am seeing a specialist ear nose and throat doctor tomorrow. They may have to drain the fluid out... I woder if my WBC are low again... maybe that's why I cannot fight this infection? I have been on the antibiotic for a week and it is NOT working. I am scared because my hearing is gone in my left ear... the eardrum is bulging with infection and fluid. Has anyone gotten sick like this during tx? I have not been

to my GI about this. I was doing fine before this happened. Now I'm depressed because I'm tired of feeling bad and I've missed four days of work. My husband is very worried because I am in so much pain and have lost EVEN MORE weight... now I am down to 95 pounds. If I can just get through my twelve more weeks... I'm sure it will be worth it!Lee <leecuate@...> wrote: GREAT NEWS KERRI!!!

I am seeing a specialist ear nose and throat doctor tomorrow. They may have to drain the fluid out... I woder if my WBC are low again... maybe that's why I cannot fight this infection? I have been on the antibiotic for a week and it is NOT working. I am scared because my hearing is gone in my left ear... the eardrum is bulging with infection and fluid. Has anyone gotten sick like this during tx? I have not been to my GI about this. I was doing fine before this happened. Now I'm depressed because I'm tired of feeling bad and I've missed four days of work. My husband is very worried because I am in so much pain and have lost EVEN MORE weight... now I am down to 95 pounds. If I can just get through my twelve more weeks... I'm sure it will be worth it!
