Damn! My high horse just threw me out of the saddle. hmy:

Thanks LondonGirl, a very timely reminder that while respecting the privacy of others in times of grief is important, we also need to ensure that the message about HCV potentially impacting anybody isn’t stifled by the stigma attached to its association with IDU.

…..and blood brothers? Like the cowboy and indian in that western film in the early 60s? Yep, everyone in my gang. Hadn’t remembered that in over 50 years. Though I had far higher risk factors than that later.

I feel that some attribution and commentary of the price list would be appropriate on this site. Particularly when posted in the Pharma’s Market area.

That is:

– Where did it come from?

– Who compiled it?

– How likely are these to be real street prices?*

* I have just noticed that these are stated to be “community procurement costs in Delhi and Northeast India” so I don’t believe these are prices that are available to the general public travelling to India or even to most Indians who wish to purchase for their own personal use, they are the ‘whole of village’ type of special marketing deal that I discussed previously in another thread. My other questions as to sourcing of this list still apply.

Hi Sir, I think the Dac you’re on is okay but Led is a potential issue due to it needing a more acidic stomach environment to be absorbed properly?

Thanks DT & klhilde,

While I agree with much of what both of you are saying, we need to remember when talking about both intuitive/sensor and social compliance issues we are mostly talking about people’s preferred styles. Very few people are firmly in one camp or the other, they utilise skills or strengths from both sides of the equation which they will favour to a greater or lesser extent depending on circumstances and timing, in most cases without realising they are doing it. However, some are quite skilled at conciously moving fluidly between what at first appear as diametrically opposed positions (actually just preferences) to allow them to gain the advantages that can accrue from each side. What is important when talking about change is that we are all mindful of others preferences and allow for them when dealing with those who appear to differ from ourselves. Viva la difference!

In practice this probably means we first need to engage and empower the 20% as defined by klhilde. This is the easy part of the task but it also creates a reservoir of ‘authority’ that will then start to attract those in the other 80% who already show some intuitive skills but still require data and convention to back their decision processes. That is how change works, for some it is a leap of faith while others need to be coaxed or coached. And yes, some will never take the decision themselves, they will only treat when instructed/ordered by their doctor/spouse/government.

I also await more on the Bulgarian adventure but remember, these 20%ers don’t play nice if they get warehoused.

Hi Chester and LG,

The ducks are so you can get them all in a row: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Get+my+ducks+in+a+row

And the animated emoticons need to be typed in:

# rant without the space gives you

# woohoo! without the space gives you ….but don’t forget the ! or it won’t work.

Hi Henry,

Congratulations on taking control of your health and now reaching ‘undetected’.

If you are comfortable with sharing on social media that can only serve to lessen the grip of regulation. The more people that know, the greater the pressure on those who would attempt to restrict access. But it is not necessary for you to share the specifics of the “dance steps” you learnt from Mike, or that your dance partner was the lovely Rachel . Much has changed over the last couple of months and there are more options available now including those like the Redemption trials. Just tell the story of your journey in outline and point to this forum and/or Greg Jefferies blog as to where people can find the details.

And if you or others are not comfortable with that level of disclosure on the net then just spreading the word among those you trust or suspect may need help is fine. I have been able to pass on the news to two people I would never have suspected (plus one I did) in the last month or two due to sharing my status and journey with friends and associates.

I wonder if it could relate to this discussion? Maybe he was mostly G3 but also carried a background and undiagnosed G4 infection which took over when the G3 got killed off?

Sorry LG!
