David: This past June 3rd the FDA approved a new drug treatment for Hepatitis C The manufacturer is Schering-Plough. The treatment includes 3 Interferon shots per week to be administered by the patient at home plus about 6 pills per day .. and they are not big pills either. The product is REBETRON [PILLS & INJECTIONS COMBINATION]. My wife contracted serum hepatitis - hepatitis C before they added the alphabet soup designations - from vitamin injections given in a physician's office in 1954. The disease lay dormant from late 1955/early 1956 to October 1997. In June her hepatitis C virus replication count per cc of blood was 1,600,000. That is a tremendous number.. enough to give a few to every person on earth. It is less than 500 now. She gets her care at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore. I trust Hopkins more than herbs & scents Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.
