Hep C Help

[Guest guest]

You have not read anything here, and, seems to me you should without

delay. Virus is the main thing we do. see the files section. hep-c

needs bloodstream and pads on liver. you can try it and it will

probably help, but it's illegal to promise things, so you have to read

read read here on this site, and just build a simple gadget in 20

minutes almost for nothing a 10 dollar parts project.

Some - when you can find them; in files - virii in liver

& blood, needs multiple exposures / day since is a fast

replicator. Another case - started at 2,200,000, 15 th wk -

14,500 for 99.3% reduction, 20 min / day to maintain; quit,

went to 1,686,00 [no time stated].

Best guess - make up 2 x 8 " pads; will need lower than

typical current - not over 0.1 mA / sq " so should try 1.6 mA

or less at first. Run wrist / ankle pads at same time,

normal current since hardly any tissue fat there.

Will need a LOT bigger spike suppression filter since when

you use the big pads on belly & back - blood conduction

is lots less, capacitance [of tissues] is about x 20 more

& it WILL bite at polarity reversal; add more capacitance

across pads till it gets tolerable, get speaker crossover

caps [nonpolarized but still electrolytic], biggest you can

find, might need several.

Good luck, let us know how you do.

Also - get a double pole double throw CENTER OFF reversing

switch. When used, will allow a pause at polarity reversal

to let the last charge to leak off to almost zero before

applying the reverse - cuts the voltage change in 1/2 at

pause end.

Keep in mind your equivalent wrist circuit is about 4.7 K

ohms in parallel w 0.15 microfarads. Your belly resistance

could still be that high from lots reduced blood flow even

when the pad area is about x 15 the typical wrist pads.

Also - the belly capacitance is distributed & in series w

an equivalent resistance so is lossy & takes even longer

to change charge than the lumped values indicate.

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus. About 4 million Americans are living with the virus. Hepatitis C is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, of every 100 people infected with hepatitis C about: » 55 to 85 people might develop long-term infection » 70 people might develop chronic liver disease » Five to 20 people might develop cirrhosis over 20 to 30 years » One to 5 people might die from the consequences of long term infection (liver cancer or cirrhosis) Hepatitis C is a leading indicator for liver transplants. Sharing a needle with an infected person when using intravenous drugs is one of the most common ways to contracting hepatitis C. TREATING HEPATITIS C: A common treatment for hepatitis C is interferon. Interferon is a protein that the body naturally makes to fight off infections. By injecting extra interferon, people with hepatitis C can better fight the virus. Long-acting interferon is given as one shot a week, while short-acting interferon is injected three times a week. The long-acting interferon given once a week is a newer form and is the main form of interferon used today. In a study published in 2002, this form was shown to be slightly more effective than short-acting interferon, and it's also easier to take -- with just one shot a week rather than three. Another drug called ribavirin (Copegus, Rebetol, Virazole) is often used along with interferon treatment. Ribavirin can help fight some viruses and is taken orally. It has to be taken with interferon to work. It will not fight hepatitis C by itself. Shiffman, M.D., from Virginia Commonwealth University, says hepatitis C is a unique disease. He says: "It is the only virus that we are aware of that can actually be cured. It can be completely eradicated from the body with no evidence of detectable virus." However, not all people can rid the virus from their bodies using current treatments. Dr. Shiffman says, "Overall, with our current medicine of [interferon] and ribavirin, this gives us a cure rate of about 40 to 45 percent ... Most individuals cannot be cured with hepatitis C with the current regimen, but still a large number can." HELP WHEN TREATMENT FAILS: For patients who are not cured with the current standard of care, there is a new drug that could do the trick. Infergen is an interferon that has a much higher potency than other interferons. In a study Dr. Shiffman found about 25 percent of people who had failed previous therapies had undetectable levels of hepatitis C in their bodies after 48 weeks on Infergen and ribavirin together. Infergen is not as easy to take, as it must be given once a day, but studies show it's worth it. Dr. Shiffman says, "This is an extremely exciting result for individuals that have previously failed to respond to [standard treatments.]" Infergen is already FDA-approved to treat hepatitis C.
