Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks, Tim! But now Sheena has me thinking, I am supposed to anything either way with my immune system if I am going on tx? My thought was that the stronger it is, the better, but now that may not be so. If the meds have to fight with my strong immune system, will that make it harder for the meds to clear the virus? Accckkkk and double Accckkkk!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Can't wait to hear what the 2 docs say! I bet dollars to donuts they don't agree! Hee hee. Ok, for the entertainment or edification of all, here is what I am putting into my body now, each day: Morning: Milk thistle (MMT brand) 240 mg Selenium 200mg Vitamin E 400iu ALA (alpha lipoic acid) 300 mg N-A-C 500 mg Vitamin C 1000 mg Oatmeal or fruit salad 5 shot espresso over ice 32 oz water with 2 lemons Afternoon 16 oz or so of water Large salad with tofu and/or chicken or tuna OR tuna sandwich or veggie sandwich with cheese but NEVER processed meats Late afternoon More water with lemons AND Green tea or liver detox tea (has shissandra, licorice, etc), or 2 oz wheatgrass juice, freshly squeezed Banana Dinner Chicken or salmon with rice and veggies, OR sauted tofu with broccoli carrots, other veggies and brown rice, OR sometimes steak. If I don't feel like eating dinner I have an HerbaLife Protein shake, with added protein powder. I mix in about 2 tablespons of soy lethicin. If I have some kashi cereal for dinner, I also mix in some soy lethicin. Lots of water Some sort of juice, either Odwalla Superfood or Pomagranate Milk Thistle 480 mg ALA 300 mg NAC 500 mg Zoloft 25 mg (I was taking SAMe too, but now I am on Zoloft to deal with possible depression from tx, and you can't mix them.) (I also can't resist Albertson's chewy chocolate chips, and if they are in the house I will not be able to control myself so my fiance must eat them in the car.) I was thinking about adding the coq 10 to this mix for my immune system. I ran all of these things past my doctor, and he didn't tell me to stop, he said it " sounded fine " . I was happy with that response that because sometimes dr.s can be anti-vitamin. I's like to say that " I feel better than I ever have in my life! " , but that would be b.s. This diet and regimen (forgot, I also take a walk every night for about a half hour)is keeping me going, and when I deviate, such as by not drinking all of this water, I can feel it right away. I have steatosis too, which I now know (thanks, Liz) can hinder treatment, so I have to watch my diet very carefully. I am 5'2 and 160 lbs so I can stand to lose some weight. So far, I have lost about 7 lbs since I started this " diet " . My main goals are to fight fatique and have enough energy to make it through my busy day, and of course help my liver heal. Any suggestions and comments from the " panel " as to this plan are highly welcomed and appreciated! Sheena, we will figure this thing out, then we will wrestle it to the ground. I am a scrappy NY street kid and I know how to fight!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 All the answers will come I am sure, along with more questions. Like you, I have been reading too much. Tomorrow I am going for acupuncture at Pacific Holistic -it's in Irvine. I need to do something to relieve stress, and a nice guy at the support group said it did wonders for his wife, who also holds all of her stress in her back and shoulders. Also, I am not too much into New Age philosophy, but my ex is, and he says that the liver is the center of " anger and rage " . I take that to mean that being angry and cranky and stressed doesn't help the liver. If anyone else knows any more about this, let me know if I am interpreting it wrong. It's sort of interesting...amde me wonder... " if I have this liver disease, what the heck was I so mad about to get it!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 hey, that's right, I was thankful too that it wasn't HIV. I heard 40 million people in the world have HIV, compared to 170 mil with HCV!
