Hi Mark and everyone,

I was sick and tired of being sick and tired many years ago. Built a life for myself, etc. You know, my sons and I have been living with my boyfriend for almost 3 years. He is reactive to the virus, although never been sick. My kids love him, he was extremley supportive during tx, and all. People get sick of hearing about hep c, they see it every day, they can't really do much about it. I have to use every bit of energy for my sons and myself..i really want to leave him..not cause i don't care. i really have no tolerance for people these days. If I don't know what is ahead..of course i want every moment with my kids. I am so sick of this.I do have a great psychiatrist that i have seen for many years. i see him once a month for medication management and on an as needed basis. I have too many doctors, a hematologist, oncologist, pain management(a big joke)....so I must be doing something wrong..oh yeah, a rheumatid specialist too. any ANSWERS? I would do anything to have my old life back. i am so freaking exhausted, just doing the halloween stuff w my kids, and I am falling apart,

peace, love empathy, debbiedo any of you have a really big lack of tolerance for people in your life? That is over the age of 13 or so?

great post, Karolyn! love, Satya

[ ] Re: New Drug Hope For Millions

Debra - Please quit "waiting". You need to be proactive. It's YOUR body! I do not accept the reality that is pushed on me by society, my upbringing and people I come into contact with. I will go to any lengths to keep my good health. Attitude is a biggie. That and stress reduction. Of course, I do not face what you face on a day to day basis; however, I know and have known people who face and have faced even worse than you, and they kept their faith and good attitudes. I have been taking great supplements (produced by reputable companies) that have been instrumental in my health being better than ever. Of course, since my diagnosis 2 years ago, my diet has also become better than in my whole life. (Of course, I'm no saint! That would be no fun!) We are responsible for our own bodies, and God wants all of us to be healthy and happy. Have faith! I am sure there are those among us who would think I'm being simplistic; however, Who cares what they think? I KNOW what I say is true.Feel free to email me to share. A joy shared is doubled; and a sorrow shared is halved.Love & Blessings, Karolyn>

Hi Mark--nice looking protocol--I notice Gaia Herbs, Rainbow Light, etc. Do you still use any Nature's Way products? I thought you liked them. If not, why not? I see you are still fighting hard. Good for you! Blessings, Satya

Hi Karolyn, I was wondering what you use for a probiotic....I'm ordering Jay's Superblend this month (switching off Dr. Zhang's to cut down on the # of pills I'm taking.) thanks, Blessings, Satya

[ ] Re: New Drug Hope For Millions

Hi Mark - You're taking some good stuff, but you could save by using the SuperBlend. It has almost all you're taking and more for $66. I recently heard that the spirulina is not that good to take because of the iron. It is in the Green Coral Calcium, but the calcium buffers it. Jay has taken it out of his new SuperBlend and changed the formula to include the Green Coral Calcium, more colostrum, and 400 IU D Gamma Vit. E. Go to the Jovo site to read his posts. I hate the Super taste. It is spicy and nasty. A guy recently posted that he likes it. I take a heaping teaspoon 3 times a day in juice, and it's not bad. It does last a month if taken properly. Other than that, all I'm taking is a multi, C, Green Coral Calcium, magnesium, flax oil, virgin coconut oil, cat's claw and a probiotic.The SuperBlend even has SSKT in it, which is in clinical trials for HCV.Love & Blessings, Karolyn> Karolyn,> > Are you taking the Super Liver Blend?> How does it taste and does the 1lb last a month?> Are you taking anything eles besides the Super Liver Blend?> How are you taking it all in the morning or 3 times a day?> Mark

Hey..Mark, Karolyn, and everyone,

Thanks Mark and everyone who responded to my emails. Mark/ I have such a low frustration level towards mostly the people I care about the most. I can't work either. My kids laugh, because I tel them that if I went to work, the first day,,I would have to leave early , 'cause I am so exhausted..The 2nd day, I would probably call in sick, so I guess the 3rd day, I would be fired...You know I don't mean to sound so cynical. I am so frustrated. I appreciate very much your emails. Sometimes I fell that "there is nothing left to lose" I just keep going on. It is hard to be positive. If I had a magic wand, I would cure EVERYONE from this crap disease with one wave of it. I am probably emailing now because i too, Mark have very little tolerance for people, Even the GOOD GUYS & GIRLS, Debbie

Mark, I had the same problem when I went

to look for them. So, now the HCV buyer’s club has them. If you don’t

want to buy any, send me your address and I’ll mail you a few strips when

I get to the States.

In Health!
