what is peaguses

[amb23]

anybody know what this treatment is or anything about it?  I am having a liver biopsy in june and if my liver is bad enough this is what the medical doctor will recommend.  I believe in a more natural approach but I want to hear from other about what this is.  thanks for any all the help.

There is NO cure for HCV except for our SOC which is Interferon & Ribavirin.
Taking the  holistic approach can lessen liver enzymes but WILL NOT CURE the disease.

This is a blood disease. Many have been cured!

[amb23]

maybe you should do you homework, apparently you dont know that much about your disease.  there is always a natural approach and you are one of the ones who is a non believer so leave it at that.  I wonder if you believe in God!

Hydrogen peroxide drip? I think NOT!

[dogsledder]

If you have HCV there is no "natural approach" which will cure you of the virus.

[moahunter]

there is also Pegeintron, which is a very similar treatment with similar results. I found side effects worse on Pegintron than Pegysys. If you choose treatment, good luck.

[amb23]

so pegasys is interferon.  have you of the hydrogen peroxide drip? you should reasearch that.

[JennyPenny]

Pegasys is a pegylated interferon which is given by the patient, one time per week. It is the only medication (along with ribavirin) that has the ability to cure the virus. While a more natural approach may make you feel better, it will never kill the virus. Hopefully you will have such a small amount of liver damage that you can forego treatment at least in the near future.
