In 1999 my wife and I were told we had Hep C…In 2000 I went on the 3 shot a week plan and it didn't work. However, I was able to bounce back from that disaster. In 2003 I was in clinical trials with PEG, the time released version. So after being told I had 2-5 years to live in 1999 Im still here and virus free. That's the good news. I believe somethng like 1 in 3 have some long term effects and I am one of them. My best advice is if your liver is still good do not go on any interferon. Start taking supplements like Milk Thistle, Alpha Lipoic Acid, NAC, TMG, Tumeric and a B vitamin complex (nothing with iron). Herbs like Bupleurum and Schizandra are good too. Most important get a juicer and drink a cup or two of fresh juice a day with beets and apples mainly (watch your greens like spinach…again the iron) and carrots, but check with a wellness doctor to make sure you aren't adding any iron. Sorry, but you have to give up drinking too and watch your acetaminophen intake. Now if your liver is torched like mine is you can try the 3 a week plan. If that doesn't work go for PEG. But if after 6 months there is no viral detection and you feel like putting a bullet in your head like I did, walk away and monitor your liver enzymes. I tried to walk away but they reduced my dosage and convinced me to stay (it was a clinical trial after all lol). I believe that's the long and short of it…..good luck to you all
