I'm a bit confused with regard to fruit juices. Ted say no not take any fructose at all with hepatitis c as the virus feeds on the fruit sugar There are several reports from people on this site who take it successfully and are resolving their hepatits c. A bit confusing.
Any feed back Ted, Bill or anyone? Thank you

Dear Alicia, I am so very happy the BHT treatment is working so very well for you. Thank you very much for your informative and detailed report. You are helping many people with the information you have given. You are doing the treatment correctly and it is working very well for you. The treatment does work if you do NOT screw it up with a bunch of other supplements. Thank you so very much for posting your results here at the EARTH CLINIC. Sincerely, ...Oscar

Elissa, so sorry to hear of your negative relations in the medical community. My history in that arena is mixed; I am sometimes treated awful and sometimes very nice, but overall I haven't really gained much of anything, but have received some lifesaving measures when necessary.
Keep yourself educated and use as much alternative and natural therapies as possible and when you do go to conventional doctors try and be courteous and positive.
I hope you benefit here at E.C. as I have and keep us up-to-date on your condition as it is always good to hear a positive testimonial.

I contracted hep-c in January 1969... I had 4 eye operations in the late 1980's and early 1990's... I also had a deviated septum and rotator cuff operation in the mid 1990's...
A dentist from Tufts Dental in Boston gave me a pain medication for a root canal in 2003 which turned out to be the WRONG medication and I had anaphyectic shock and had to be taken to the hospital in the middle of the night...
They talked me into having a physical at the hospital which I hadn't had since I was born... They found out that I had hep-c and my liver enzymes were AST-33... ALT... 49... One was normal and the nother elevated by points... WHICH IS NOTHING! My PCP (Dr. Marilyn Kovnat) told me when I walked into the office for the results, "You don't have to DIE... You can take interferon. " It was like getting hit with a sledgehammer...
She also said I "NEEDED a liver biopsy. " I was very uninformed with regard to any of this includinfg what was hepatitis c... I had the liver biopsy and walked bent over for 6 months and my enzymes went close to 400 for both of them... I still have both enzymes over 100..
The point being to this mini story that my immune system was keeping my hepatitis c at bay... For 34 years... I had the biopsy and it awoke the virus and it has been hell since... The bottom line for anyone is DO NOT HAVE A BIOPSY... You can have a fibrosure test or a fibroscan test which is the state of the art in Europe and is NON_INVASIVE... It isn't a big money and because of this and (of course) is not recommended or approved in this country... BUT you can get on as I did in Beth Isreal Hospital in Boston...
Good luck and don't let the Dr's run your life... They're LESS ethical than used car sales men...
Finally my PCP talked me into going on Atenolol because my father had a history of high blood pressure... After 20 minutes of discussion/disagreements I agreed to go on it... Bear in mind I never ONCE registered high blood pressure... 9 months later I had to be wheelchaired into a hospital for a 4 1/2 heart operation for ventricular tachycardia... I had a Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation operation... Beware of Dr's advice...

Chanca Piedra
Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 08/14/2012
Dear Harmony, Many people with geno type 1 HCV infections are reporting success with the BHT treatment. The BHT treatment is NOT geno type specific. It works as well as it does for all the variants of hepatitis C.
Those reporting the best results are not using other treatments. Some use of the B vitamins and vitamin C do seem to help some people. I have NO opinion on these other supplements you mentioned and have no clue as to what they are or how they will effect the BHT treatment. My advice is to keep it simple because that is what has worked very well for many people. Do NOT take a bunch of other supplements. I am THROUGH, done with trying to give what is at best an educated guess as to how all these different supplements will effect the BHT treatment. Many supplements including the milk thistle extracts seem to screw up the treatment. Make it NOT work. Keep it simple for best results. You can visit or join the BHT CURES group here for more on how best to use the BHT treatment:

Hola Oscar, gracias por tus comentarios, quiero aclarar que mi ultrasound en mi liver fue hecho hace como seis meses, antes de comenzar el tratamiento convencional, el cual fue suspendido a finales de junio, ya que el virus regreso, mi doctor dijo que tenia una Quantitation de 194150 lu/ml, HCV log 10 de 5. 288 log10 iu/ml, el dijo que habia regresado por los cientos de mile, tu sabes que cantidad es especificamente.

Dear Alicia, You are doing everything right with the BHT treatment and it is working. That one 250mg of BHT per day may very well be all that you need to cure yourself of this hepatitis C infection. You do not weigh very much compared to many of the people using the BHT treatment. I am amazed at the amount of exercise you do. This exercise helps a lot. Please do not overdo it. You must be a very strong person.
Dear Alicia, please listen to me. You will still need to take the BHT on a daily basis for at least 2 years to be truly cured. The BHT is actually good for you as long as you do not take too much of it. The reason you need to keep taking the BHT is because: Even when no virus is detected in the blood tests very many liver cells are still infected. You are responding so very well to the BHT treatment and that makes me very happy. Please keep posting any and all test results here at the EARTH CLINIC. I wish more people would do that. Your friend, ...Oscar

Hello, If you take IP-6 it will leach iron out of your system and reduce you iron load/ferritin...or you could go the fast route and get phlabotomies... Either will reduce your iron and this will also reduce your enzymes levels...
IP-6 reduces my iron by 30 pints per month.. Don't like needles..

Denise, I have been using desiccated liver or Liquid Liver Extract for over a decade (on and off) for Cirrhosis and general anabolic nutrition w/ marginal results. I would recommend D. L. starting w/ a small dose. If you are over 50 yrs or your hep-c is severe I would consider bumping up to Liquid Liver Extract 3-6 daily. As far as viral replication, you would need to use any number of anti-viral protocols recommended here on E.C., as well as some Milk Thistle Seed Extract.

Dear Heather from Jeruselem, Thank you for your detailed and informative posting. I will pass this information on to other people I am in contact with who have hepatitis C. From an earlier posting by you about 1 week ago it seems to me that Daniel is well on his way to ridding himself of this at times deadly infection with the use of BHT taken as you have detailed in this posting I am responding to. I wish to point out that Daniel is a very physically active person. I have been encouraging people to stay physically active. Not everyone can work as hard as Daniel does. But they can at least take walks or do some other type of exercise. No matter what treatment a person tries, this exercise is important. Thank you so very much for this detailed posting Heather and Daniel. I wish you both very long, healthy, and happy lives. Sincerely, ...Oscar

Hello Oscar, I can't say if it is 350mg because we don't have analytical weights to verify this.
He takes the 1/8tsp with water on empty stomache twice a day. This dosage does not give him the muscle aches he experienced when he was enthusiastic and took 1/2 tsp. I wish to stress for anyone reading that the BHT he takes is Chemically Pure grade of 98. 5% checked by HPLC in an accredible lab.
He is very lean. I doubt he has more than 10% body fat. He is a laborour and works physically 6 days a week. You can see he is all muscle and bones.
The alleviation he feels is being less tired at the end of the day an he looks better - less dull.
In regards to supportive supplements: he took quercetin (studies show this inhibits the virus Hep-C), he took alph-lipoic (to enhance mitochondria respration), he took Q-10 - for same reason. But he did not take these supplements for the entire 6 months duration due to them being costly. So he would buy one and take it till it ended. There were weeks when BHT was the only thing he took.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Dear Heather, Thank you very much for reporting back to the EARTH CLINIC with Daniel`s test results. This feedback is so very important. It is the only way this life saving information can get out to the other people who are infected with hepatitis C. So if I am reading you correctly Daniel is achieving these results using about 350mg of BHT once a day with water on an empty stomach. I recall that Daniel is on the lean side. By that I mean he is somewhat thin and does not have much fat. We are trying very hard to come up with what is a safe and effective dosage and your feedback is very helpful. Thank you so very much for reporting back to the EARTH CLINIC. That is doing your part in this effort....Oscar

Dear Oscar, wanted to update that Daniel concluded on first of July 6 months of BHT intake: 1/8 tsp in water first thing in the AM. Of course he admits that he missed a morning here and there. (Daniel is the one who was taking 1/2 a tsp and you shouted it was way too much - indeed he had muscle aches and other side effects - all gone since reducing dosage to 1/8tsp).
His viral count before BHT was 1,150,000.
he got the results today of blood work he took two weeks ago: only 250,000!!!
He is very happy. Sends you his sincere gratitude. He will of course continue for another duration of 6 months and we are praying for a ND result.
We commend you on your devoted help to humanity all over the world. More power to you.

Dear whomever, Are you Mike from London, Ontario, Canada? Myself and many others wish to hear from you. Someone posted a statement that they now test negative using the antibodies test for hepatitis C as stated here in this forum:
YEA 06/26/2012: "Got the best news I could ever ask for today, my bloodwork results are in and I no longer have any Hep C antibodies in my blood and my liver function levels are all normal. Now this is after failing conventional therapies back in 2008 and almost losing all hope of ever clearing this dreaded virus. I feel fantastic and I have to admit that BHT absolutely cures Hep C type 1a geno types when all else fails and it does it for pennies.
Anybody that comes across this post, you owe it to yourself to try this wonderful substance that has given me and so many others back our lives after thinking all was lost!! BHT works!! Thank you once again Oscar for saving me and many others by sharing BHT therapy with the masses. Cheers! "
I think it is you Mike because of this earlier statement by you:
YEA 05/27/2012: Twodragunns from London, Ontario, Canada replies: "I've been doing 2 x 250 mg daily of BHT with a splash of water on an empty stomach since Feb 1, 2012 and after 1 month all my symptoms of chronic Hep C had completely disappeared. I've just ordered 3 x 350 mg bottles from Vitamin Research Products and plan to up my dosage to 2 x 350 a day as soon as I recieve my BHT order.
I can't believe how good I feel these days and I have to thank Oscar for sharing this invaluable information with everybody that will listen and I'm sure BHT is the answer for many. I failed tx with Ribiviron daily and Peginterferon 1 injection per week back in 2008 and was a non responder after 4 months. I have genotype 1a which is very resistant to conventional therapies and had all the classic symtoms, like brain fog, joint aches and low energy, but after 4 weeks of BHT, "I feel like kid again".
I just had a blood test (5 vials taken) and they're measuring my viral load as well as all the other measures they do. I will post the results in late June after I see my MD and get the results. To all the na sayers and crap talkers that give Oscar a hard time about the validity of this treatment, "get a life and stop with the B. S. Posts that are accusing Oscar of spreading false information about this very effective treatment". I can tell it's working Oscar because all my symptoms disappeared and it's been 4 months now and I feel great!! I'm out golfing everyday (which I thought I'd never get to do again) and I'm playing very well!
Thanks again to Oscar from the bottom of my big old heart for discovering and sharing with us all this treatment that seems to be helping very many folks that have either failed conventional tx or not wanted to do this because of the catastrophic side effects. I'm going to keep posting here about my recovery from this chronic disorder and provide my medical test results as well.
kindest regards, Mike from London, Ontario, Canada"
Please know it is VERY important to many people because they wish to know more details as to how you achieved these astounding results. You are the ONLY person other than myself [ Oscar ], who has achieved a true cure for hepatitis C. To have gone from being very sick with hepatitis C to now test NEGATIVE using the HCV antibodies test. Please respond. You have life saving information to share with those infected with this awful disease.
There is the BHT CURES group I hope you will join AFTER sharing a more detailed report here at the EARTH CLINIC. I am Oscar and very much hope you will join this group. Please do this for me Mike, here:

Dear Alicia from Syracuse, Utah: Wait one hour after taking the BHT before eating food. The BHT seems to work best with water, but a fruit juice is also OK if you have stomach discomfort with the water. The fruit juice will not screw up the process and may help because when BHT is metabolized it is combined with a glucose molecule and fruit juice does contain some glucose.
It is also important to being doing some exercise. Eating a healthy diet is also important. Avoid eating too much fatty foods. Just a simple healthy diet along with staying physically active is very helpful. Going for walks or riding a bicycle. Things like that. Just simple good health practices are very helpful for anyone trying to maintain good health. The BHT is very effective for many people treating viral hepatitis infections. But these good health practices are also very important. You do NOT have to overdue this exercise. Just make sure you do some exercise on a regular basis and eat a healthy diet....Oscar

Dear Alicia form Syracuse Utah, Start out with no more than 350mg of BHT per day taken with water on an empty stomach. When you first get up in the morning is a good time or just before going to bed. You can always take less of the BHT if any side effects occur. If and only if you tolerate that one dose per day well, it may help to take two capsules per day. You only weigh 135 pounds so that one 350mg capsule per day may very well be all that is required. There are a growing number of hepatitis C type 1a infectees who are non-responders to the conventional treatments reporting success with the BHT treatments. Eating a healthy low fat diet is helpful. So is doing doing an adequate amount of exercise and drinking good quality water in adequte amounts... Oscar

Alpha Lipoic Acid
Posted by Timh (Louisville, Ky, USA) on 06/24/2012 2048 posts
Tim D from Plano, I first began taking ALA w/ other supplements during meals but found it upsetting to the stomach; after trying ALA 50mg on an empty stomach however, I experience no gastric distress. For me it is important to be sufficiently buffered prior to ALA. The other night I experimented w/ 50mg every 15 min 4x w/ no upset and increased energy and stamina. There are some caps as high as 600mg which I suppose would be beneficial for even advanced stages of liver disease. And now there is a stable form of the more active molecule of called R-Fraction which is touted to deliver over 5 times more than standard Thioctic Acid, and has been reported to have less irritation on delivery.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Posted by Tim D (Plano, Texas) on 06/23/2012
★★★★☆
I contracted Hep C around 1984. A friend mentioned an amino acid called "Alpha-Lipoic Acid" to lower my enzymes levels AST and ALT count. He showed me in a book that had a list of elements that were taken out of our school of medicine in 1950's. I have had a level of roughly 20 AST and 35 ALT ever since. My liver doctor about 10 years ago was completly surprised by the levels, and asked what I was doing to get these levels. I mentioned "Alpha-Lipoic Acid" and he did not recognize it. It is sad when we are controlling what doctors should and shouldn't know. Hope this helps those reading.

Dear Dave from Florence SC, Did you get my response regarding this bloating issue you brought up ? If not I will say once again: I also at times experience this bloating. It always happens with me when I am not getting enough exercise. It happened with me this morning. I had eaten a heavy meal last night and did not take my walk or do some squats. Jumping jacks help also. I did some exercise this morning and the bloating went away in about one hour. If this exercising does not help you may need to lower the dosage of BHT you are taking. You can open those capsules up easily and tap out some of it`s contents and push the capsule back together or just pop the opened capsule in your mouth. The BHT has very little taste. Opened or closed just wash the contents down with a gulp of water.
For some people the BHT takes some getting used to at first. But this exercise is important anyway. People need adequate exercise to maintain good health. Lack of exercise very much effects digestion in an undesirable way with or without BHT. Because you are having problems I do think it would be helpful for you to join the BHT CURES group. That way there are other people available for you to help you with any issues that come up. You can join that group here: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BHTcures/
Now please do report back into the EARTH CLINIC to let this forum know whether or not exercising resolves this bloating issue. Sincerely, ...Oscar

Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 06/08/2012
Dear Dave from Florence SC, Yes I have experienced those symptums: Bloating of my abdomen and tiredness at times. Why not take the BHT at night just before you go to bed.
I have been taking 350mg per day of BHT per day and sometimes more for over 15 years. It is strange because sometimes BHT acts as a stimulant also. I very much think drinking an adequate amount of good quality water is helpful and at least as importantly some adequate exercise will go a long ways in overcoming these conditions.
It is always when I am not physically active that I experience the symptoms you described. If I am out there moving around [ just going for short hikes ] a few times a day I do not have these problems. Look, being sick with HCV tends to depress many if not most people. I have always been a depressed person since I was severly injured [ PTSD ]. Before I ever took any BHT. I no longer have hepatitis C or B for that matter. But I still do get depressed.
So take the BHT at night if it makes you tired and make yourself do some exercise even if you do NOT feel like doing so. I also work out with some dumbells somewhat on most days. This exercising is very impotant with or without BHT. You need to keep things moving inside yourself for proper digestion to occur. Also, avoid fatty foods. Fatty foods are very hard to digest and require so called bile salts that are produced in the liver to digest so eating fatty foods very much stresses the liver. BHT can do a lot but any person needs to eat a healthy diet and exercise to remain healthy.
So for you for now: Take the BHT at night. Eat a low fat healthy diet and do some exercise. Get right back to this forum if that does NOT resolve these symptums. Also join the BHT CURES group because I am not always checking in here. To do so go here: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BHTcures/
Give my suggestions a try and lets see if they work or not. If I am not available at that BHT CURES group other people using the treatment are....Oscar
BHT

Dear Oscar, I am on my 3rd day of the BHT treatment for my Hep C. The first day I took the 325mg capsule I became tired feeling that same day within a few hours which I have not been experiencing (tiredness before taking the BHT). I however had a very restful and sound sleep. I have already started the dosage twice a day since I weigh 240lbs. I am still rather tired feeling during the day however do sleep soundly. I have experience some bloating as well. Are these symptoms you have ever experienced? Appreciate all of your advice and everyone else for that matter. Thanks! ...Dave

Dear Chris from Guam, Thanks for checking in with this forum re: BHT for hepatitis C. And please do report back here with whatever your results are. That is the ONLY way to establish how well this treatment works or does not work. There is also the BHT cures group you might wish to join here:
