    I’ve been reading this book:


    Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? When My Lab Tests Are Normal
    by Datis Kharrazian

    The reason I quote it here is because he dwells a lot on gut issues and the immune system. One of the primary underlying causes he cites for kicking off a whole cascade of malfunction in multiple systems is chronic viral infection. This is the book that joins up the dots.

    dt

    Hashimoto’s disease and hypothyroidism are EASILY discovered with blood test. He is saying he DISCOVERED hashi is a autoimmunity disorder? NO he did not! First he is not a real DOCTOR. He is a Chiropractor. He is generating money off his books, speaking engagements, a ton of websites. A intern can diagnose these diseases with blood work etc.

    I’ve been taking capsules of the Cayenne lately (home made). You have to be very careful to take them on a full stomach, but the benefits are amazing…wonderful for the circulation.

    I’ll expand a little on the Turmeric paste recipe in case anyone finds it useful.
    1. Source quality Turmeric with a known curcurmin ratio…I use Allepey, and it’s the best I’ve found.
    2. I cup Turmeric powder in enough water to make a paste over a low heat, just to get it all smooth and dissolved.
    3. Take off heat and add a half a cup of oil (olive and coconut are best), three teaspoons fresh ground black pepper, and whizz to make it mix.

    That makes quite a peppery paste, and you can probably get away with using less, though they say the piperine in the pepper increases the benefits of Turmeric 2000 percent! It has to be freshly ground though. I also add ground fennel.

    Start with half a teaspoon twice a day and work up. Effects on different people are variable and some find it very purging indeed.

    I researched this paste after you mentioned it. The curcumin isn’t abosorbed very well but the fat from the oil helps alot. There is not enough piperine in even very large amount of pepper. You should get bioperine supplments and add that. There very cheap.
    There is pretty much insufficent evidence of it working for much but a ani-inflammation and osteoarthritis . BUT alot of anecdotal.
    People with hep c for a long time usually have a gall bladder that is bigger then it shoul be or pain there. Turmeric can make gallbladder problems worse. but usually only if there is gallstones or a obstruction. Diabeteics be careful to. Also people with clotting issues like hep c people can have. Research this before taking.
    I’m glad you posted this paste recipe and want to try it although I hate the taste curry ((coriander, turmeric, cumin, fenugreek, and chili peppers) so I might have to hold my breath for this.

My research tells me I maybe interested in the Harvoni combo (2 generics) I’m 1a with hep c for 18 years. Really appreciate the information. Sincerely.

    Hi Tommy. Like a true Republican moron, you just attack me without a comeback of any substance. There is a North American Union agreement in place. You said nothing but I don’t have a clue. I say you are just a dumbass. I read WikiLeaks which show classified documents from the government revealing the truth. Believe what you like

    Republican? Where did you get that info. Wikileaks huh? My sisters a lawyers for them. Or I should say there sister sites. I know all about the Jan. 28, 2005, discussions of the obstacles surrounding the merger. That’s all it was right? Anyway,
    there are no plans to create a North American Union and no agreement to do so has been signed. This information of a North American Union has been the subject of a million conspiracy theories.
    Sorry if I worded my comment in a negative lite. I place these conspiracy type crap up there with the snake oil salesman trying to sell milk thistle for liver diseases.

    Gilead’s CEO made 1 billion last year. Why would you ever work again? If I had 2 million I would never work another day :)

    Gilead is just a sign of the times in USA, everyone is grabbing what they can before the country turns third world, which it seems like it will in the next decade. President Bush signed a secret agreement to merge Mexico, USA and Canada (North American Union), which means it will be a very large version of Mexico! Obama is pushing TPP which means the drug companies will be able to block drug importation from abroad. Get your HepC treatment now!

    I see you visit conspiracy theory website. To many ignorant and uneducated people believe everything they read. Research further and maybe you will learn something.

    Pretty high viral load BUT, stress and anticipation, nervousness plays a roll in viral loads. My viral loads fluctuate by the millions monthly. Watch in 4 weeks how low it gets. Good luck with everything.

    I agree what you said about hep c and IR etc. That study you linked to said those medications are not well known to occur with its use. Only 2 cases out of God knows how many present 2 cases of new-onset diabetes. Also, one of them was black and had hep c and HIV. He was also on HIV drugs at the same time.
    The 2nd patient was OBESE and black. Reason why I mention race is black people have a high rate of diabetes.
    That was in 2014 and of course they mention more studies are needed.

    Go to this page http://www.hepatitisc.uw.edu/go/evaluation-staging-monitoring/evaluation-staging/core-concept/all
    Then, scroll down to where it says in bold letters Transient Ultrasound Elastography (Transient Elastography and Shear Wave Elastography):
    Then click on FIGURE 8,9 and 10. I think that’s what you want.

    If I am rich, like most of the people here that are from the 1st worlds, I wouldn’t be posting this thread.[/quote]

    MAN, you got it twisted. You think most from the USA are rich? Your clueless. Especially people with hep c from the USA. I would gather most were from IV drug use (like myself) which puts most in the poor house for most of there lives. USA doesn’t equal a fat bank account. More opportunities but you work for yours.
