Guest guest Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi Suzi....Glad to hear that you are doing well. Unfortunately for me Dr Berkson's vitamin regime didn't work for me. I was Stage 2 in 2008 and at my last liver biopsy I have reached the end of Stage 3. I completely quit drinking and faithfully took my vitamins each day. Ugh. I was sooo hoping that it would keep me well enough to wait until a better treatment came along too. But that's not in the cards for me now. Again...glad to hear that you are doing so well. Wish we could all be so lucky! Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I have not treated for my HepC either, diagnosed 2005, no liver damage or scarring, have been on vit, diet n exercise.my ALTs are norm, blood norm, Dr. Allport calls it Dormant... I know its there when I get tired or stressed... ( Hep C is stress driven). (I had blood trans in 87) It comes and goes, have had No change in symptoms, numbers, etc in 7 yrs. I will treat when the new one gets approved. Dr says I'm to healthy to destroy my body w/ ribo and Peg.Just pray I continue to remain healthy!

I use a supplement protocol from Dr Burt Berkson. It DOES NOT cure Hep C, but it does help protect the liver. And it does work for many people. It is very basic, does not require script and has no side effects for most people and is inexpensive. Dr Berkson is a highly respected doctor. Google his name and you can read about him, his credentials and his protocol. I will be 78 in less than a month and had Hep C since 1966--it was called liver disease back then. For whatever reasons, my Hep C has progressed VERY slowly. I did stop drinking in 1966 and take as few meds as possible. My " liver disease " was diagnosed as Hep C in 1999. There is lots of info on Hep C on the internet. You might try the online book " Choices " . Not sure if it has updated to the latest treatment yet, but it is very informative. The newest treatment, currently in trials, is really exciting and looks like it will cure Hep C in three months with few side effects. Just wanted to let you know that there are some out there that are living with Hep C and living full productive lives. Well, I'm hardly as productive as I once was, but I am a lot better than many my age without Hep C. Mowed and weed whacked my yard last week--and it is hot here in Texas. Would I treat??? Yes, if the new treatment proves to be as promising as it sounds. Of course, I'll be over 80 by then. In the meantime, I'll continue to use my supplements and keep my liver healthy.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hi Ned, Well, you are in Dr Berkson territory. His office is in Las Cruses, New Mexico. I live in Central Texas near Waco. I have made many trips from Dallas to LA over the years. I went to high school and college in Dallas area many years ago (graduated high school in Jan 1950)--Mom taught school in Los Angeles area and I moved to LA in 1952, but we had family in Dallas.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Tonda, I did not know Hep c is stress driven. Good thing to know. Of course when you think about it, our bodies do *break down* or *get sick* when stressed out. Something like that.
