Emilio, I totally agree but 200K vets x 90K is 18 billion! That buys a lot of private jets and hookers! GREEDIAD!!!!

psavic, I am not a doctor, (but I am medically well read on this subject) but based on what I have read I would say this: once you are VL 0, take at least another 4 weeks of treatment. I am F0, .15 Fibrosure score. I am going to get tested at 8 weeks. If I am VL 0, then I will just complete the 12 weeks of treatment, I not I am not buying any more. That’s my plan: VL 0 + 4 weeks. These meds will not do you any harm for a 24 week period, unless you start feeling ill, then consult a doctor. Certainly very tame compared to interferon which was horrible stuff. I’ve had no side effects on Twinvir, which you are taking too! Twinvir is great stuff man! Keep gobbling those tablets down!

This is the hidden beauty of the fixhepc website, and what you all are doing here to benefit the whole world. In the USA, (and many other countries) it’s the free market system. It’s greed central. The politicians and all the media who rely on ads from corporations all follow the capitalistic story. You can complain, but if it’s not mainstream, how the corporations want you to act so they can profit, you can’t talk about it. No one says, “You can get generic medications shipped to USA from Australia, India or Bangladesh through a third party, a 3 month supply” To say this is to risk economic suicide, as the ads to your site or newspaper will cease immediately. The websites in USA about HepC that take ads from Gilead are forbidden to allow discussion of generics, or there will be no more ads from Gilead, or Abbie Vie, etc. I only learned by chance I could get meds shipped by finding this site, ironically the “Duckduckgo” search engine showed this site, Google does not list this site on a HepC search, so even they are paid off. My point here is somehow the Vets need to be made aware of this chance. It seems to me some members have posted on the US HepC forum websites about links to here. That is the smart way to go….guerilla advertising/warfare from offshore, saying “check out fixhepc for help / ideas,” without talking about generics..entice people to come here and find out the truth. To post in the media or online in USA is to risk a lawsuit by a corporation and economic suicide or even legal action. Don’t underestimate the power of the greedy elite. You can’t confront Goliath. You have to hurl rocks from afar and get lucky to slay him! One lucky shot, right in the eye…David did it

Wow A.L….what you just said is just uninformed nonsense.

First of all, Gilead bought the company Pharmasset, who actually invented the drug. Pharmasset executives have stated they were going to charge $35,000 for 12 week treatment, and are dismayed to find Gilead charging basically 3 times the price. Insurance companies would have probably given it to anyone infected for 35K. I’m very disappointed, but not really mad at insurance companies, because they would be bankrupted by this treatment at 96K, or even the discounted 56K. It is Gilead who is the real villain here. Ever hear of Martin Shkreli, scumbag CEO of Turing pharmaceuticals? Most hated man in America? This is basically what Gilead did, buy a drug patent in order to make a huge profit by taking advantage of sick patients.

Gilead is more a hedgefund than pharmaceutical company. They just want to make money. I am poor. I contacted their “support path” for assistance. I qualify for $73,000 in grants. They still wanted me to take a loan for $23,000 for Harvoni. I told them I will just get it from overseas, thanks for nothing. I rewrote this reply after reading all your posts. I think you just don’t know that Gilead is not a good company, concerned for people. But God bless Incepta and the Australian compounders (Kingswood, Lindfield) for providing affordable access.

As far as vitamins are concerned, you are totally wrong.. Vitamin supplements have been proven over and over to be beneficial. There are so many studies supporting supplements. Too much of certain vitamins could be harmful, but like anything else you have to educate yourself.

I also have Twinvir. From what I have read Twinvir is great for Gen 1, exact copy of Harvoni. Good luck!
