I like it.
Be sure to get in with touch some television stations and radio stations as well, and the papers, and let them know you’ll be there, so when the police show up, and they will – they have some footage to show, along with the good news story!Exciting stuff!
Hmmm… how about ‘Cheese’ in a sandwich board?
Awesome grassroots stuff Cheese,(and smart too) the more people find out about generics they will tell people and so on
May I suggest you let Greg know he posted a while back that he is happy to help anyone out with media stuff.
Hey Fitz
My days of dealing with law enforcement (especially) in the US are hopefully done.
Cannot run as fast as I did in the day.
Thanks for your encouragement and support.
Haha! I wasn’t suggesting you get arrested and hauled off to the slammer for the the cause. You and I are way beyond that phase in our lives. I sometimes wonder though (with all the posting I’ve been doing lately in various venues), whether my Internet Service Provider with whom Big Pharma spends big money, will simply flip the switch on my internet connection one day.
Having done business internationally, I’m quite confident you will come up with an effective marketing plan that will allow you to get the word out, and win hearts and minds without putting your physical freedom in jeopardy.
You have an extremely compelling story to tell. You will save lives. I’m sure of it.
I agree, you shouldn’t risk your cure to try to make a short term statement.
I don’t know what the US customs requirements are on entry with prescription drugs. However, if it was me I don’t think I would be trying to hide/smuggle them in, that will certainly cause problems if you are caught. If I couldn’t get a script then my thoughts would be to carry them in personal luggage in their original opened packaging if still available (and a daily dosing box if you use one) just like they were Aspirin or similar. I would ensure that I had access to something that showed I was diagnosed with HCV or on treatment in amongst my personal papers or files or on my phone/computer that I could pull out if questioned.
If they refused to let them in then I would go into activist mode and create as much noise and publicity as possible about a citizen being denied life saving medications in my attempts to have them returned.

Hey Dennis,
I’m glad you’re rethinking the SDS style activism.
Some real wisdom has been provided to us here. Helps us from driving the the bus into the ditch. On second thought …

Good advice from all. Customs are just doing their job. No need to poke the tiger in the eye, yet.
I will technically be smuggling rx into the US by not declaring and not having a doctors presription but they are pretty lenient on an individuals meds, as long as the quanity is not too high. I have never had an issue carrying the odd strip of meds such as Xanax without a script. One thing they do not like is concealment, so will have my HCV meds in their original containers tucked in my travel kit with my xanax and other odd toiletries for the long haul flight
Gaj: good advise on having my documents with me. I printed all of my documents IE blood work, Fibroscan, and ultra sounds so very easy to explain my condition if they happen to stop me.
