4 week routine tests-Normal
Waiting on the v/l.

Hey Henry,
Tomorrow the big day? The hard part is over. Get your life back!
You were my 3rd “student”. All passed the course. One more since you and one in the works-that I know of. There may be many more flying low-I hope so. If each of us who succeeds can help five more do the same……
Those guys and gals at Customs- they probably all know someone who has this crap, and can’t afford a cure.
They are looking for bombs and heroin- not hope.
Down the road,
Mike

Hey TUG,
4 week labs: All normal. V/L will be back Friday.
My liver enzymes have NEVER been normal.
TUM

All 4 week labs normal. Will know about v/l Friday.

Here is the last message I got from anyone on the Hepmag site. The “Mike” referred to is one of the global moderators there. A cured one….

Hey, Coach Mike:

Thanks for your message and the inside dope [<--drug reference] on the forum. It's interesting that Mike does not respond to the specifics of the post but does play to general fears about the quality of drugs from abroad. (I read recently that India manufactures something like 40% of the drugs sold in North America.) Thanks for the fixhepc.com tip. I read a couple of forum threads there and was impressed by your persistence and inventiveness in getting your meds from Mesochem. From what I gather, you paid $1,916.00 for a three-month API supply, but the [non-commercial] value declared by Mesochem on the customs form was $57.00--is that correct? I've noted your reluctance to visit India as a medical tourist, for I can see how having quality medicine shipped from China inside a week trumps hanging out in India at greater expense, length, and uncertainty. Good luck on your cure. Also, thanks for introducing me to the word "hinky." Quote from: Coach Mike on November 12, 2015, 09:54:53 PM Hi, There is something hinky about this "Mike" guy. He may be more than he alludes. He is a global moderator on a forum plastered with Harvoni ads. His past posts have justified Gilead's crazy high price by saying how much they spent buying out the company that developed Sovaldi. They have done that 3 times over. He ignores mentioning the Australian website (no ads there) set up by a doctor who encourages people to get legitimate generics from the manufacturer by whatever means possible, Something funny here. Go check out fixhepc.com. A lot of good info there. I would go to Australia before going to India anyday. Coach M I think "BAD" Mike shut down my ability to message people on Hepmag. Good Mike

Hey 2,
That is some really good info and advice! What I am seeing, is a lot of people really afraid to self-import due to the Customs issue. I know that was MY scariest moment, but nobody, at least that I am personally aware of, has had a shipment detained from Rachel. I figure there are a whole lot of prople reading what we are writing and following our suggestions that never post a thing. Hopefully, they are quietly getting well.
That is a big reason I post. Those people are approaching the process exactly like I did-eyes and ears open, mouth tightly shut. The old “If you don’t say anything, nobody will ever know” principle. Maybe some of them have had their package detained and, later, released. Or, its hard to even write this, destroyed.
I really don’t think that is happening.
Mike

Hey TUG,
Headed to the lab. Should know by Friday!
