Has anyone tried Mesosilver?

I cannot do Interferon again because of retinopathy, therefore am looking for ways/means to improve my quality of life. I lost my job in April and my Cobra insur. just lapsed.  I walk 30-40 minutes a day and try to eat a diet that supports my liver taking a few supplements, (Selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, SAM E, and Vitamin E occasionally C. and milk thistle)Primary symptoms of concern are low energy to fatigue and a lack of mental acuity. This varies to feeling scatter brained and memory loss to inability to sustain concentration. No matter what I do 6.5 hours is the most sleep I can get, often 5 is the routine. I frequently have an ache in my right side. The mornings when I wake up is the worst, dreams and thoughts are bizarre and I feel like the toxins get to my brain more when I am prone for some reason. I read somewhere that high blood sugar levels might make one a poor responder to tx which mine had been increasing during and after tx fasting 118-125. Thanks in advance for suggestions. Larry

After 15 years of knowing, I have never felt sick or missed a day of work or fun.  Now my gastro is saying to go on Inteferon. I'm a nervous wreck as everything read sounds dreadfull and I've never been depressed and am scared it will destroy my family. My genotype is 3 and have no scarring. Went for a second opinion, but believe most docs stick to what is the norm from drug companies.  Any thoughts that are proven?

I have been on therapy twice now, getting ready to get off. I am not responding again! My genotype is 1.
Everyone has different symptoms. Maybe mine not so server because I am not responding. I don't know. I am depressed to be taken off.
I feel better on it than off of it. But you say you feel fine.
I contacted a company called, "Be in charge" when I started thearpy the second time and wish I would have the first time. They have nurses on call 24/7.
Drink plenty of water,  get plenty of rest, and drink little if no caffine at all. The more rest you get the more your liver heels itself. I wish someone would have told me that.
You can still have an active life. I to have a very active life style to.
If you read the side effects it is very scary. Everyone is different and everyones side effects are different (maybe mine wasn't as bad to because I wasn't responding.,
Most of all when you go on the therapy try to keep your mind clear of nagitive thoughts.
And remember drink alot of water.
Good Luck!

Just my 2 cent's worth...I did 5 months of sho-Saiko-To (SST or hepzone to folks in the USA) as well as a few other supplements and I did see a consistent drop in my viral load and normalizing of liver enzymes...But it doesn't kill the hep c...it's been my experience if you keep your immune system strong, stay away from liver stressors, and eat a healthy diet, you will keep the hep c's damage to it's slowest...Some people can even halt it's progression by enabling their liver to repair itself as fast as it's being damages...this explains why some can have it 20 years, and only be stage 1/ grade 1 with their liver biopsies...while others are in more advanced stages sooner...And also why the viral load varies so much...                                           ~Melinda
P.S. I'm 3a, treated, and am in my 8th week post treatment...Still clear so far...
