Update on my treatment

[Guest guest]

I'm am currntly finishing up week 7 of my clinical trial (I'm on day 47).  On

day 44, I was informed that as of day 29, my viral load was undetectable.  This

means I'm a responder.  I was sooo very happy about this news.  If I had any

doubt before, I know now for sure, there is a GOD.  So now I must continue with

the standard of care for the entire year and I have a 15% chance that the virus

could breakthrough, but on the other hand, 85% chance of going on for the total

clearance.  Those aren't bad odds.  I hope all my fellow HEP C friends are well

today, and god bless all of you.

Fantastic! Wow, for it to be undetectable after only 7 weeks is something. I

have not been that lucky thru my two treatments. Hep C is one tough virus, so

congratulations.

Thanks,  Remember for the first 28 days, I was also taking the investigational

drug from Pharmasset, R7128 in cooperation with Rosche.  It's a polymerase

inhibitor.  I had a one in five chance of getting a placebo, but from my current

results, I'm pretty sure I got the real thing.

So for everyone, there are some new powerful drugs coming, so hold on.

Take care,

Deron

Since being diagnosed with Lyme in June of 2007, I have followed a

strictly herbal & homeopathic treatment due to my having just recovered

from a year of Cdiff at that time - which means that I cannot & will not

take abx unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. I have been guided by a two

good naturopaths, one in his 80s who has had Lyme & cured himself with

herbals, minocycline, & the Rife machine.

I have reported on my progress here & before & I know some are skeptical

& that's fine. What works for each of us is fine. Yesterday I had my

most recent of my usual 4 times a year meeting my one naturopath who has

been responsible for recommending the herbals & homeopathics & his

reading of me found 0 burden on my body & 0 significance to my health

from Lyme. I have been taking Samento & Raintree's Spiro, also

Energique's Lymestat & Cat's Claw. Earlier in my treatment I took

Artemisinin until my liver values went up, at which time I stopped it. I

also took a few other things he suggested that were not specifically

for Lyme. At any rate, he said I do not have to take any of these

things anymore unless, I really want to take the Lymestat, so I will

finish that up.

Interestingly enough, 2 weeks ago I went to see my acupuncturies who I

had originally gone to for another problem dealing with my toes, & she

had me bring along all my supplements for muscle testing as she felt I

was taking possibly too many. Three of the things she found my body

did no longer need were the very remedies that yesterday also told

me I did not need.!

Anyway, I feel fine & other than stress & anxiety over my daughter &

granddaughters moving away back to Californina (they were here in

Wisconsin with me) & the critical illness of my lover boy cat Gus, I am

good. says We never know when or if Lyme is ever cured, I

suppose, but at the moment it is a non-issue for my body for the

forseeable future. I will continue to see him & I will continue my

sessions with the Rife machine but I am not going to consider Lyme as

part of my life anymore - at least for now.

And as I said before, I know some of you will be skeptical. But the

evidence says I am as fine as I feel. Different strokes.
