    I found this on a Chinese (actually Thai) herbal medicine page.

    ADVICE TO 50-YEARS OLD and OLDER

    Because none of us have many years to live, and we can’t take along anything when we go, so we don’t have to be too thrifty.

    Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don’t leave all to your children or grandchildren, for you don’t want them to become parasites who are waiting for the day you will die!!

    DON’T WORRY about what will happen after we are gone, because when we return to dust, we will feel nothing about praises or criticisms. The time to enjoy the worldly life and your hard earned wealth will be over!

    DON’T WORRY too much about your children, for children will have their own destiny and should find their own way. Don’t be your children’s slave. Care for them, love them, give them gifts but also enjoy your money while you can. Life should have more to it than working from the cradle to the grave!!

    DON’T EXPECT too much from your children. Caring children, though caring, would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render much help.

    Uncaring children may fight over your assets even when you are still alive, and wish for your early demise so they can inherit your properties and wealth.

    Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth; but that you have no claims to their money.

    50-year olds, don’t trade in – your health for wealth, by working yourself to an early grave anymore. Because your money may not be able to buy your health.

    When to stop making money, and how much is enough ?

    (A HUNDRED thousand, One million, ten million,One billion )?

    Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can consume only three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night.

    So, as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend, that is good enough. You should live happily. Every family has its own problems.

    Just DO NOT COMPARE with others for fame and social status and see whose children are doing better etc., but challenge others for happiness, health, enjoyment, quality of life and longevity.

    DON’T WORRY about things that you can’t change because it doesn’t help and it may spoil your health.

    You have to create your own well-being and find your own place of happiness.

    As long as you are in good mood and good health, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have fun in doing, then you will pass your time happily every day.

    One day passes WITHOUT happiness, you will lose one day.
    One day passes WITH happiness and then you gain one day.

    In good spirit, sickness will cure;

    In a happy spirit, sickness will cure faster;

    in high and happy spirits, sickness will never come.

    With good mood, suitable amount of exercise, always in the sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin and mineral intake, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years of healthy life of pleasure.

    – ABOVE ALL –

    Learn to cherish the goodness around… and FRIENDS……….. They all make you feel young and “wanted”… without them you are surely to feel lost !!

    Wishing you all the best for the years to come.

    Please share this with all your friends who are 50 plus and those who will be 50 plus after some time and also with your children.

    Accu-chek is a pretty standard brand.

    It’s cheapest to get a starter kit that has the lancets, the push button staby jaby ouchy tool, test strips and the meter that reads the strips.

    Hmm, if you wipe off the flowery rhetoric it reads something like “India is an emerging powerhouse and while we are happy to do business, we will not supplicate ourselves to you”

    Hello Happylady,

    I expect you are GT2 and only able to get Sof+Riba on the PBS.

    You don’t need to import the API yourself, you can simply use Kingswood Compounding or West Lindfield in Sydney, both of whom will have it in stock, in capsules, and ready to go. You will find their contact details here:

    I ended up getting a Specialist to write it and they put on it to take 2 morning and night

    There are no DAAs where the prescription is take 2 in the morning and 2 at night other than Ribavirin where that would make sense.

    What genotype are you, level of fibrosis, and what have you been prescribed?

    The prescription requirement in most countries relates to the fact that possession of a scheduled prescription only medicine is an offence without a prescription. So if you look at Australia it’s legal to bring it in, but you become a felon taking possession (without a prescription).

    In New Zealand transiting customs requires that a local NZ prescription exists so the rules vary from country to country.

    It was one of the names I suggested back in October last year when I was asking companies in Bangladesh take advantage of their ability to produce it, but the notion of Sofosbuvir+Daclatasvir as the single pill pangenotypic cure for the world belongs to Dr Andrew Hill.

    Both Beacon (Darvoni) and Incepta (Corevigen) had the foresight to produce this product and it would be great to see it widely deployed.

    To: Tamal

    Thanks Tamal,

    Can I make suggestion.

    Make a combined tablet called Darvoni or Daclovir or Diclovir or >>>>> Duovir <<<<< I like this name Sofosbuvir 400 + Daclatasvir 60 This product will be market leader in 1 year. This single tablet is the product the world needs. I would like box to contain 28 tablets (not 6 like Twinvir - that is silly number 14 boxes for 1 course of treatment!) 2 boxes == 8 weeks treatment 3 boxes == standard 12 weeks treatment Kind Regards James

    We do see high levels of ammonia in liver failure:

    http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/tc/cirrhosis-complications-encephalopathy-topic-overview

    But we all have some ammonia from the metabolism of protein so I would pay more attention to the liver function tests than sweaty smells and also know that the best thing for Hep C liver issues is DAA medication to get rid of the root cause.
