There is a Natural Cure for Hep C…
(closed)
(Preview)
I'm living proof that I cured Hep C without any medications. Don't stray the public to think that only a man-made medication can cure disease, that is totally false information! I cured my Hep C without any help from any doctor! So YES, it can be cured! I had cirrhosis of the liver and now it's undetectab...

Thanks for keeping ignorance off site
(Preview)
I have spent over 10,000 dollars on liver teas, Chinese herbs and supplements. I will never know if they prevented any long term stability on my liver - but they have NEVER made my blood tests normal or prevented fibrosis. Use them as a healthy lifestyle choice, but NEVER as a cure!

Olysio - photosynthesis side effects - supplement support for UV protection
(Preview)
Aside from sunblock, SPF clothing, umbrellas and downright avoiding the sun, I thought this supplement may be good to take as well. I took it last summer just because I like to protect my skin in general from UV, and remembered it so I thought I'd share it with you all. It also has other high benefits: h...

Okay to drink a little wine while on O/S?
(Preview)
My doctor did not specify anything that would conflict with the efficacy of O/S but I was wondering if anyone heard anything contrary to drinking a half a glass a wine a few days a week while on these meds? I have no fibrosis.

Best time to take Sovaldi/Olysio?
(Preview)
Hi Everyone; I'm on my third day of Sovaldi/Olysio treatment and don't really have any side effects except more thirsty than normal. I'm wondering if there's an optimal time to take the meds? A friend of mine said that it's best to take Solvaldi on an empty stomach and Olysio with food. They said Solval...

Anyone know what is involved in "Med Training" required before starting Olysio/Sovaldi?
(Preview)
I get my meds tomorrow but was told not to open them until I get the phone call from someone (nurse or pharmacist?) to receive the "med training". Is this just a formality? What's to tell? No injection training. Just curious (and anxious).
