Tea tree oil has had great results with treating toe nail fungus. There are clinical trials on this. I too have toenail fungus and now that I’m cured of HCV I’m using tea tree oil.. Dab it on twice a day.. I’ve really reduced the area affected

Thanks Gaj.. Okay.. I’m clear on what you say, and I read the info on the trial and see the price of the drugs but need to know how much more people in BC will have to pay for shipment. I have sent an email to Tim at Monkmed and am waiting for an answer. I need to know if shipping is included in the price of the trial (US $1600)..and if not, how much to Vancouver BC.

This is very interesting. We have found a Dr. in BC who is willing to help out, so that the people will have a script and also follow-up, vl tests, and fibroscan. So, we were thinking that we would steer the patients to enroll in the Redemption Trial and then get their meds at Monkmed. If they do it this way, will it be the same price as Beacon?

I’m running around right now … It’s afternoon in BC, so I’ll check back in a couple of hours..

Thanks muchly splitdog

Wow.. that is amazing. And the price you got was from the drugs in the trial and via Monkmed? I need to be sure ..The price listed in the Redemption trial says $1600 US (http://fixhepc.com/) “Affordable treatment for Hepatitis C is now available for $1600 via parallel importation of Sofosbuvir, Ledipasvir and Daclatasvir. These are active molecules that make up the new age Hepatitis C treatments Sovaldi (400mg sofosbuvir), Harvoni (90mg ledipasvir / 400mg sofosobuvir) and Daklinza (60mg daclatasvir).” or am I reading this wrong? Does this mean $1600 for all 3 drugs?

Hello Dr. Freeman. We may have gotten a break. Dr. Tam from the LAIR Centre in Vancouver, BC has responded to my inquiries and is willing to take on patients who have a referral from a GP in the BC MSP. They will guide and monitor patients who choose to enroll in the Redemption trials.

My question to you is: if the patient in BC goes this route then I suppose they go directly to Monkmed. Also, I was looking at the procedures for GP2U and Monkmed online and I got lost with GP2U (sorry.. ) Is GP2U necessary for a Canadian with a BC doctor?

The question then is: If I am in BC and want to register for the trial and have a doctor here, what are the simplest steps? I am counseling people as we speak.

Thanking you in advance

Hello Dr. Freeman. Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t know if it’s do-able (we have very limited funds)..I will pass on your suggestion to our Board. It would be good if we could get a physician to take this on in BC… But they are afraid to, I guess. That’s my understanding.

Yes. please share your experiences so we can get the information out.
