M….As you will recall, I emailed you in December when I joined here. I was hesitant to post
my question on this site. I feel a whole lot comfortable now, say 98 per cent. The other 2%
is in my inherent nature which will always be there…..hence, no Farcebook or Twatter.
Maybe that will change one day. Edward Snowden, like him or hate him, opened a can
of worms that will be debated for a long time….e.

SVR24Interesting map, doc. It appears the western hemisphere has the lesser of the devices which is
understandable since this website is in the eastern hemi with most devices from the Aussies.
I thought more devices would be from North America. Hopefully, your clinical trials lead to
more inquiries.Gaj….very good point. Information and feedback is sorely needed, but the medical profession
does not want us to be that educated. When the time comes, it’s DIY for me (I think?)

SVR24VB…..I’m glad your wife is UND after 4 weeks. I have never heard of this other site. Do you think
she trolls other sites? From what I have read, the proselytizing atmosphere does not suit me.
As you stated VB, if it helps one person, it was worth it. On the welcome page, it specifically
states…..”no posting links unless you can prove it benefits with a clinical trial study”. An attorney
would have a field day if this was not the interwebz.

SVR24I had a half hour to burn and came across this thread and decided to give my 2 cents. I am assuming that
most members and nonmembers that view this website are probably a little bit older in age like myself. I do
not belong to Farcebook, Twatter, or any other social sites. My land line is 24/7. My cell is another story….
invited guests only. I am not anti social…….maybe on the quiet side and definitely private. Naivete or ignorance
(in a good sense) could be one reason some people ask repetitive questions because they do not know how
to use the search button or have the experience on how to surf the website.Lack of time is a bullsh*t answer. If you have Hep C, you better make time to get rid of the disease and feel good
and normal again. Finally, laziness. I think other people have mentioned this topic. IMHO, laziness should not be
rewarded. At a minimum, if one is going to ask a question, preface it with…” I searched but could not find exactly
my situation”. If you lied on searching, your Hep C will not be cured is what I’ve been told.Dr Freeman is a very busy man. We are fortunate to have him supporting this cause, We need him. Try not to
burn him out.Whomever is running this site gets all my respect and kudos. One suggestion: Put the FAQ’s in a conspicuous
place or put it in RED or something to highlight it. I think it can be expanded, also. Anyhow, I will get off of my
soapbox, now. I hope everyone who has Hep C is cured one day. I was told by a doctor that 10 years from now
Hep C shots will be available in your GP’s office like the flu shot. We can only hope, nonwithstanding Gilead’s
patent , money, or influence.

SVR24Boot….Your story is interesting. My frame of reference is my viral load. It went from 9 mil in 2008 to 1.2 mil
last year. Never had a fibroscan, but had a biopsy done by someone who had done thousands. He is a
professor at a local university. He knew what he was doing. Anyhow, he went to the worst part of my liver
for samples. My results came out fairly decent after 40 years of infection….F1 or 2 I think. I partied hard for
several years but did not turn into a dirtbag .Yes, I firmly believe your lifestyle change can help in liver scarring. I won’t go into details and derail your
thread. I’ll post mine later. In the back of my mind, I still want the fockers out of my body. Therefore, I would
continue with TX to be sure. Continued success, man. A little of this and a little of that is not going to kill
you, IMHO. Good luck.

Would anyone here be able to help me understand these test results?
Primarily I need to know which ones are Low, High, or Fine, but the stats mean nothing to me at the moment! (Yes, I could Google every single one, but if you understand these, it sure would be helpful).

Here are some low to high ranges from my docs:Fibroscan…don’t have. Never had one, but important. Someone will chime in.

AFP-?I’m not in the health industry…so I’m no expert. Some of these ranges have changed or are
different with different blood labs. I have docs from 3 labs that have different ranges since
2007. The above ranges are for reference purposes. My docs have told me that ALP,AST,
PLT, WBC,ALB are somewhat important liver readings, but the fact that they might be out of the
range does not necessarily mean you are in trouble. I would suggest you have someone in
the health industry interpret the readings. One other point. These ranges are from the USA.
Don’t know if they are the same world-wide…..e

The best damn concert I have ever experienced.
Same as above-I wish I could remember more of it…..
He was a genius and left the world a better place.
MikeAt least you remember the date and where you were……I saw him in Tucson
with my then GF who I remember started to walk toward the stage with her
arms open wide. Security got her before she could reach the stage. She loved
him and was mesmorized by the song that he was singing. Naturally, I do not
remember. As the saying goes ” If you remember the 70’s, you did not have a
good time”. As you state, he was a genius and a showman.

SVR24Hi, I’m new here. Genotype 1a for over 40 yrs. Good diet, lots of water and sleep have kept me going.
I recently procured some generic Harvoni. My contact said he cannot find a courier that will ship meds
from India to USA. My readings say otherwise. Two questions: 1) Can DHL or Fed X send packages
from individuals to USA with description contents as “Medical Supplements” or something similar.
2) If not, will description of “Jewelry” be illegal?The onus will be on me as the recipient. I do not mind. I’ll take of it. My contact is leaving India on Monday
December 28. Thanks in advance. Your forum has been very helpful.
