Hi

Welcome to the Warriors group.

I am don in ks, 59, genotype 1B, DX'd in 2008, labs normal so no treatment yet.

I am using alternative things while I wait for my doctors to tell me - 'its time to treat'.

I got my HCV from IV drug use way back in about 1970.

This group doesnt have 'special notices', [which was your email selection when you joined], so I changed you to 'daily digest', so that you can read everything that is being said.

- Daily Digest will put 25 posts into one email, so that your mailbox is not overwhelmed.

If you dont want this, I can change you back again - just say so, and it will be done.

I changed it so that you can recieve the tons of info that we all share with one another.

I am building the groups LINKS LIBRARY, and filling it with everything that I can find on Alternative and Conventional HCV info for all our use.

In it you will find things like Alternative suppliments and Diet info, as well as everything else.

I agree with Teri - get a doctor to monitor your HCV progression and liver damage, and do labs.

You dont have to do the conventional medicine, but you really need to know what your liver is doing.

A doctor can help you with this.

Like SuziQ, I am doing Dr Berkson's Alternative protocal, and a bit more.

If you have questions about anything - please feel free to ask.

Please feel free to just chat with us too, because everyone's imput is valuable.

What you know may help someone else, and vise versa.

Im glad you found us - this is a good group, with lots of experiance, info, and support.

I hope that you will post often, so we can get to know you, and pick your brain. LOL :-)

love

don in ks

Hello everyone,I'm new to this, thought it's about time I joined because I live alone and not in a support group.I scare myself silly sometimes with what I read so hopefully someone will be able to reassure me from time to time.I've known about this hep c for 15 years but have had it 25 years from a blood transfusion...I've chosen to go down the alternative route...but it's scary not having a doc telling me what I should do next! Don't feel too good at the moment.Also I've never found good info on diet and recipes...the blandness of steamed fish and chicken puts me right off food.Bye for now------------------------------------

Please do the best thing you could do for yourself and your future!! Go to a a Hep Dr. and follow through on all the tests. It does not matter that once you have all the correct information, you choose to continue on the alternative route. The most important thing is to have all the information.Please don't tell any Drs that you do not wish to do treatment until all the testing is done. Unfortunately, too many Drs will not put you through all the paces if you adamantly tell them you are not interested in tx. However, you do need to learn how much damage has been done to your liver.Also, insist on having a copy of any and all lab results etc. A number of us on this

site are able to interpret what the blood tests actually say.By the way - a big welcome to our forum! I believe that it is your first step toward looking out for your own health.Gloria
