Her hep C Just went away 5 yrs later on its own

[blondie717]

Hum , just saw a gal who had hep C, She just told me she got rid of hers on with no treatment. she said she just cut way back on the booze, quit the drugs. And they tested her and froze her blood sample... And it just left after having it atleast 5 yrs...Has anyone heard of that? Now im wondering why we tx if it might just go away on its own...I did think her skin looked yellowish. But her hep is gone

Please it is best not to let new people think this happens often if at all - new people are pretty desperate when they are just diagnosed and willing to believe almost anything that sounds easier than having to do treatment.  This is such a RARE occasion if it happened AT ALL that I'd hate to see someone wait to see if it could possibly happen to them.  Out of the millions of people that have this disease the chance is better that you are going to win the lotto.

It's irresponsible to try to insist on this point when it could end up costing someone their life.  I am glad you totally believe it but you dont have the disease so what does that mean?

I agree with Boobert and also this is an unnecessary waste of time.

ok i won't claim that i was a chronic hcv patient and spontaneously cleared unless i have a positive pcr test then a negative one, BUT i totally believe that chronic hcv patients can have spontaneous viral clearance based on these researches and others

Oh believe me, if I could have I would have.  I only did 24 weeks and that was enough for me.

Jez Denise you did treatment for no reason?  How silly of you when you could have just prayed and gotten it to clear!  ;)

I think this thread has got way to much attention. It's just BS!!
