sounds like fun CJ, where does black sabbath play in sydney? Opera house?
here’s some JImi played on the Cello—in what I think is the most preserved Roman amphiteatre still in existence in the world.,
I want to go there, from the stuff I see, Croatia is actually a pretty neat place, these lakes look amazing, anybody here been there?

Hi Joy, aaaaaaaaa, that’s just the same old tired mantra that the US FDA uses for GT 2’s. Europe I believe years ago figured out you can cure GT 2’s with sofosbuvir and daclatasvir without ribavirin.
I have read that the only reason this persists as the “approved” treatment for GT 2’s is that there are so few of us (relative to the other genotypes) that none of the big outfits have decided it was worthwhile to invest the money to test out the efficacy of dac and sof on GT2s, so the ribavirin recommendations remain just because of cheapness and the lack of investment in trials on GT 2’s.
Unless there is some aggravating condition , like cirrhosis or something, I believe GT2s can do fine without ribavirin. I am, I was clear at 4 weeks without it.

Get em Zhukster, the nasty little buggers will be running for the hills and trying to hide in the outback of your innards, but every last one of em will soon bite the dust.

Hi Life! I like your attitude and your music.
these guys are one of my new favorites and they cruise through your part of the world often, as they are from Croatia. If you get to see them live its a good show. They sometimes play in an old roman coliseum in Croatia, Arena Pula, looks like an awesome place to see a show, theres a full video of a concert they did there on youtube, but check out this one, its funny….a little bit of AC/DC on electric cellos.I saw them last year in US, would definitely see them again if I had the chance.
Happy New Year! (Still only new year’s eve day here)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfGggAGITwg

Hi Sonix. Dengue Fever? I’ve read about it, don’t know anybody personally (yet) whose had it, but its been creeping northward in the US due to climbing temps, been showing up in Florida….I heard its bad….so how bad was it? I’m assuming if you were in the hospital, it must have been pretty damned bad…

Hi Dr. Freeman, here’s what mine said, and test was titled this:
“HEPATITIS C VIRAL RNA BDNA QUANTITATIVE”HCV RNA BY PCR QUANT <15 IU/mL <15
Not Detected
HCV RNA BY PCR QUANT <1.18 log IU/mL <1.18
Not DetectedPlease note:
Due to character limitations of some clients' LIS
systems, viral load values greater than 10 million are
reported using scientific exponential notation.
For example a result of 10 Million (10,000,000) is
reported as 10.0E6 IU/mL or copies/mL. If your LIS
will accept the number of characters required for
viral loads greater than 10 million, please contact
your local service representative to have this
reporting convention changed.
The method used in this test is Real-Time PCR
of the 5' UTR of the HCV genome.
This test was performed using the COBAS(R) AmpliPrep/
COBAS(R) TaqMan(R) HCV Test, v2.0.

Maybe a dumb question, and probably answered before, but (Dr. Freeman) as I see your reference in post above to “Zero” levels, and since my tests appear to only go to the undetectable below 15 mark, is there another more specific test that can identify an actual ZERO level as opposed to just not showing an undetected below 15 marker? I’ve been wondering about this since I got my “undetected” below 15 at 4 weeks.

IF I simply went by the US official FDA guidelines, and what my very specially trained, Gastroenterologist knew, I would presently be suffering under the horrible side effects of Ribavirin right now! A Gastroenterologist, and she’s at a well respected clinic, and she’s not dumb, STILL didn’t know as much as Dr. Freeman on this subject with the generic meds and treating without Ribavirin.
Instead, I knew from my own research which was thankfully confirmed by Dr. Freeman, that I didn’t need Ribavirin, all I needed was Sofosbuvir and Daclatasvir, which I’m now 7 weeks into, and undetected and NO side effects.
A year from now I’ll bet no one will be prescribing Ribavirin anymore–Even our backwards US FDA is only saying its for GT 2 anymore, and I’ve read that’s only because there are so few of us that no one has put in the effort to do testing of the new DAA’s on the GT2’s because there aren’t enough of us to make for a “profitable” market supply.

24 December 2015 at 11:21 pm in reply to: Beacon Pharmaceuticals … Sof, Dac, Sof/Dac, Sof/Vel Combo #7258Maybe the passport requirement its just some kind of bureaucratic requirement for dispensing medicine. In some countries they want ID for everything. They may need to keep a record of having proof of the identity of the person they are dispensing medicine to.
Not so unusual I guess, hell even in the US now you have to show your driver’s license and they take down all your info just if you want to buy some Sudafed for nasal congestion because they won’t make a distinction between a senior citizen and a toothless, itchy, jittery teenager who wants to melt down sudafed with batteries and solvent to make some half assed toxic methbrew.

Maybe the bangladeshi and indian companies could throw a little in the pot.
I’m not seeing adverts on there though, must be cause i have an adblocker on, or maybe its just that nobody has put an ad up there yet?
