How was Naomi Judd cured?
Not meaning to threadhog, but I thought someone here may know. When I went to Naomi's site, there were some links to some holistic books, but no clear explanation of exactly what she took to attain SVR.
Anyone know the real deal? And why wouldn't she just come right out and say what she did?
Anyone know the real deal? And why wouldn't she just come right out and say what she did?
I'm new HERE, but 'been dealing with HCV since 1985.
What did Naomi Judd do? I have NO idea, but if she went east, she's probably as healthy as I am now! :)
My story:
I found out I had it when fatigue began where it wasn't previously, and then tried to donate blood for a drive, and got "the call".
I went to a Dr, got a biopsy, found out it had to be in 1985 (I was exposed to it then), and he said there was enough scar tissue present to indicate that.
He immediately put me thru the interferon hell. (more below). After I couldn't take it anymore, I went looking for more answers.
Since 1995 I have consumed a gallon of decaf Green Tea a day
In 2002, my chiro in SD, CA introduced me to colloidal silver. Not just ANY silver, either. These silver particles are processed down so small, it penetrates the cell walls, so it works EVERYWHERE in the body.
Then I found out about “Milk Thistle”, which helps the body to create more LIVER cells. I take a potent extract.
Then the amazing fruit “Mangosteen”, in the liquid vitamin/mineral VEMMA. I LOVE the taste, too.
THIS combination has SAVED MY LIFE, and flat out CURED me, period.
In 2002, my Gastro Dr. told me I was nearing stage 4, and at best, w/o a transplant had 1-3 yrs to live. He said my genotype was particularly aggressive, and was progressing faster than most with similar. My viral load was 3.8 m/ppm.
I was very jaundiced, about 85 lbs (5'1"), and had already gone the interferon route back in '95, (which was TOTALLY unsuccessful AND the biggest waste of time, money, pain, and my marriage possible.)
I was bed ridden for almost 6 mos, lost most of my hair, constant vomitting, and if anything stayed down, it was diarrhea. I had to hire help for my then 5 yr old daughter, and daily chores, including washing me. I was in so much pain, and so weak, I couldn't walk for almost 3 mos. (This was 10 yrs after contraction of HCV.) The interferon almost killed me, and at that time, there were no other combo drugs being offered with it. It was pure hell for me, brain fog, wild violent mood swings, and a lot of memory loss, etc.)
SORRY for the gory details, but it is imperative to compare the MIRACULOUS difference now.
Today (April of 2008) I am healthier than EVER, negative Hep C test, 0 viral load, PERIOD. I weigh 110 lbs, my skin is clear and rosy, my eyes are white, healthy, my hair has all grown back in thick, I never have night sweats, or liver cramps anymore, and no more diarrhea, either, YAY!!
There is no other word for it; I am CURED, not in remission.
I am NOT the only one who has figured this out, either. "Google" people who have cured Hep C with “silver”.
Western Medicine is aimed at taking our money, and keeping us alive long enough to suck us dry financially, with no "cure" available, and barely address the symptoms, except with more drugs that cause more side effects. I'm sorry, but BS!!! Whoever made a comment about silver doing nothing but making you blue has NO idea what they're talking about. Silver has no contraindications with ANY other meds or supplements, leaves the body attached to Vitamin K (dk. leafy veggies, etc), causes NO side effects, tastes like pure water, and kills over 650 bacteria, VIRI, and fungi; most on contact, others within 30 seconds. HCV is a VIRUS. Since 2002 I have had ONE cold/flu type illness. Yep, ONE in over 6 yrs!!! There’s no denying RESULTS. Hype is worth nothing, results are everything.
Back to the “cure”, the eastern medicines concentrate on curing the cause, not suppressing the symptoms.
There IS a cure, and I PRAY that even ONE person reads this, tries this, and LIVES!!!
Here's my daily regiment, and how long I've used each supplement.
Be prepared, it "ain't" cheap, but what is the price of your LIFE?
And no, of course western medicine insurance covers NONE of this.
QOL? Mine is the best EVER!! It's WORTH EVERY PENNY, to me!
God bless you all.

*Pray daily.
*One gallon, decaf, home brewed, Green Tea, EVERYDAY. Water, pomegranate, and pineapple juice additions as preferred.
*One 8 oz bottle of Sovereign Silver, www.natural-immunogenics.com each WEEK, by swishing, then swallowing 7 tsps a day (total), throughout the day (Approx $35, also available at Vitamin Shoppe, and many other health food stores, “brand” here is imperative, all silvers are NOT equal). Most important thing to know here is MORE is NOT better. The SMALLER the particle size, the more places it can help you. This company boasts .0008 microns. I haven't found smaller yet...
*Two 32oz bottles of VEMMA a MONTH, www.MakeMoneyWhileYouParty.com, vitamin/mineral liquid with the Asian fruit Mangosteen (HIGH antioxidant, and vit./min. balanced well, best part: tastes AWESOME, no nasty “all health no flavor”...they use strawberries, kiwi, etc to sweeten, nothing artificial) Approx $70...
*One 120 count bottle a MONTH, Maxximum Milk Thistle, www.NaturalWellness.com. I take 3 in the morning, and if I decide to have a drink ONCE in a while, I'll take 3 at night, and then 3 more midday, for a couple days before and after, to help ward off any potential damage to my ultimate goal (HEALTHY liver). (I drink for birthdays and New Year's,...'don't really like drinking, so that was a BIG plus in healing my liver…‘never have been a "drinker".) Approx $35...
*Last, but far from least, POSITIVE thinking. It works better than ANY medicine...what you BELIEVE is your reality, you CAN will yourself WELL, or anything else you choose. Most people never use 10% of their brain capacity. It is the union of the mind and soul that opens the doorways to higher understanding. Realizing your awesome potential is an epiphany, and a perspective changer, and the doorway to telekinetic energy, even focused within our own bodies. I know this is "really out there" for some people, but the bottom line still remains the same, some combination of the above regiment has HEALED, CURED, and given me my LIFE back, and I could never be happier! :)
OK, that's IT. I've been on silver since 2002 and I no longer have Hep C. I PRAY someone else finds this info and saves their life, too! If you know ANYONE else with this horrible, often silent disease, PLEASE at least share this with them and let them decide if it's worth a shot. I didn't find it in time to save my best friend of 20 yrs, but I was blessed to be able to help him cross over, by being by his side ‘til the last minute. It was an incredible experience, not only taking care of him, but seeing what HCV does to your body, knowing I had the same thing, and hadn't found THIS info yet. But, on the bright side, I earned another guardian angel! :)
Now I have to "pay it forward" and share this info with anyone who will see it.
I'm totally open to more discussion on this, too. Email me any time! :)
Now I'm reading Gregg Allman is doing well on interferon.
How do I get THIS info to HIM??

What the hey happened around here, embattlement? Wishing you all peace and serenity brothers and sisters. Be well.
Hi,
Thanks for the answer and information. This is along the lines of what I had in mind. Overall, not much improvement, however, if you look at the results, there is an increase in SVR for slow responders, both groups, with the 72 week treatment. I would like to see another study in which this group (Slow, partial responders and Slow, flat responders) was treated with higher dose interferon and longer treatment. Maybe design it so that 1 group is left on standard protocol, 1 group is given standard dose for 72 weeks, 1 group is put on higher dose for the standard 48 weeks, and 1 group is put on higher dose for 72 weeks. This seems to be the group that might benefit. The results of this study do seem to indicate that individualized treatment does not seem to be of benefit for Rapid responders or Non Responders.
What do you think?
Best to you and to all,
Steve

Mine went Hypo due to TX. I'm on synthroid now daily. It takes time now to find the right dose. I am also wondering if my thyroid will be OK after TX?? Anyway #20 tomorrow night. The end is near. Good luck and you are experiencing a SX that is documented as possible but not by all.
Willing: Good analogy.
Just for the record, although I think it is obvious, I am just kidding about Indiana. But, never can be too careful in a hornets nest ;-)

landfill : many thanks for the detailed information. I've been using the biotene mouthwash throughout and am scheduled for a root scaling in march. In hindsight, it would have been much better to do it on tx!
This is an issue that others on tx may want to note. Both combo-tx and the often-associated ADs commonly lead to dry-mouth. Also a drop in infection-fighting neutrophils is a very common side of combo-tx. As a result, your normal dental hygiene routine may not be sufficient to keep gum-line infection at bay. Scheduling more frequent cleanings and/or scaling during tx may be necessary to avoid periodontal damage.
Steve: if I understood your question, it was investigated by the swiss-based Ditto-HCV study <a href="http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/2003icr/03_assld/docs/pegasys/102703_b.html">reported</a> last Oct. They took quite a few early VL measurements, used Avidan Neumann's (very-successful) composite predictors to classify patients into rapid, slow and null-response tracks, then tried individualized therapy for different tracks (eg treating slow responders for a longer time). Somewhat surprisingly, the customized tx did not significantly outperform, the "in-the-box" standard tx. So it looks like in-the-box tx isn't too far from optimal for the current meds.
gwithhepc: well, I'd be the last to defend Indiana against charges of general trouble-making, but Pooh bear does have revelance to our current hornet's nest. As I recall, hornets do tire out and buzz away fairly quickly..
