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.

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. Yo voy a tener mi test a primcipio de Septiembre, y este si va a ser resultado del BHT, esperemos que todo salga bien, saludos a todos y mis mejores deseos.
Hi Oscar, thanks for your comments, I want to clarify that my ultrasound on my liver was made six months ago, before beginning conventional treatment, which was suspended in late June, as the virus back, my doctor said I had a Quantitation of 194150 lu / ml, log 10 HCV 5.288 log10 IU / ml, said he had returned for the hundreds of mile, you know how much is specifically.

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

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 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 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
BHT
Posted by Heather (Jerusalem, Israel) on 07/21/2012
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 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

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.

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

Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 07/07/2012
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

This is great news Alicia. I have been worried about you. And hoped you had read my updates about how best to use BHT. It seems clear to me that you have. There is one very important correction regarding your update: You must have been taking 1,000mcg of vitamin B12 and NOT 1,000mg of vitamin B12. Please all know that 1mg = 1,000mcg. 1,000mcg [ micrograms ] is the recommended dosage of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is not sold in 1,000mg dosages. It is sold in 1,000mcg dosages. An easy mistake to make when reporting into this forum. But it is important that I correct this error.

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.

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

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/

Hi Dave... There are many differing and contradctory reports on the efficacy and safety of BHT wrt usage and dosage. You have quoted just two studies on the suspected delterious effects of BHT. Here is another research report on BHT, which is a complete review of all the research evidence up to 1999 on BHT and BHA:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10541460
So which research do you believe?
The next level of validation would seem to be just to go and read actual testimonials of people who have cured themselves or have had good outcomes from using BHT in small quantities on a daily basis against Hep C. EC is jam packed with successful testimonials of people using BHT. However, not everyone can resolve their Hep C using BHT. But it is definitely worth a try.
If you would rather not use the BHT protocol, other protocols you can investigate, which have few side effects, are Ted from Bangkok's remedy for Hep C shown here:
Ted's Hep C Remedy
Ted's remedy for Hep C just uses L-Lysine, aspirin and Vitamin C.
Another simple protocol with few side-effects -- the Berkson Triple Anti-Oxidant Protocol -- is also very effective against the Hep C virus. Type "Berkson Hepatitis C" in Google Search to read all about it. Meanwhile here is Dr Berkson actually talking about his protocol for Hep C, Cirrhosis, liver cancer and pancreatic cancer in an interview:
Here is some research results on the Berkson Protocol:
Treatment of Chronic Hep C virus via Anti-Oxidants: Results of Phase 1 clinical trial
A Conservative Triple Anti-Oxidant approach to the Treatment of Hep C
Dr Berkson simply uses Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA), Milk Thistle, Selenium and N-Acetyl Cysteine(NAC) as the basic oral therapy with additional B complex and Vitamin C support. And when he adds Low Dose Naltrexone(LDN) to this therapy he has obtained succesful cancer remissions in patients with pancreatic and liver cancer as well (which are incurable using standard chemo techniques). For more serious cases, Dr Berkson also recommends taking ALA by IV for certain periods in his protocol to improve outcomes. His clinic is based in New Mexico.

Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 05/30/2012
Dear Dave from Florenece SC, Well, I understand your concerns about BHT. A very many toxicology studies have been done with BHT. At very large dosages liver abnormalities are noted. Here is the NOEL [ no-observed-effects-level ] statement that is the conclusion of a Canadian health organization that looked at hundreds of the different toxicology studies that have been done. I need to mention that the ADI [ acceptable daily intake ] is 1/100th of that NOEL and is defined as such. Here is that NOEL statement and you can see that BHT`s effect on the liver is specifically referred to:
In view of the probable involvement of hepatic enzyme induction in the development of the hepatocellular damage associated with repeated doses of BHT, the Committee concluded that, in this case, enzyme induction was the most sensitive index of effects on the liver. A well-defined threshold was demonstrated at 100 mg/kg bw/day in the long-term study reviewed for the first time at this meeting, giving a NOEL of 25 mg/kg bw/day. Effects observed in the reproduction segments of the in utero/lifetime exposure studies were also taken into account in the derivation of this NOEL. The Committee used a safety factor of 100 to allocate an ADI of 0-0.3 mg/kg bw for BHT.
This statement is section 4. EVALUATION and is located at the end of this report just before the long list of referenced studies. Here is a link to this very long and detailed toxicology report:
http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v35je02.htm
Also, there is this PHYSIOLOGICAL REVIEWS article that discusses different anti-oxidants and the mice that had BHT included in their diets over their entire lifetimes lived on average 22% to 31% longer than the mice that did not have BHT included in their diets.
From that table you can link to the FULL TEXT of that article to learn what that is all about. Those are the two most informative reports about BHT that I am aware of.
Having said all that some people do report some adverse reactions to BHT including: an undesirable nervous reaction similar to drinking too much coffee. Some stomach discomfort. Dizziness. Most people have no reaction or very mild side effects if any. I do suggest starting out with no more than one 350mg of BHT per day for a few days. And if any side effects are felt to lower the dosage. When and if you are comfortable with that, you may wish to try two seperate dosages per day or every other day. You have to find out what you are comfortable with as far as dosage goes if you choose to give the BHT a try. Also, the BHT treatment seems to work best when NOT mixed with other alternative treatments and this includes milk thistle and its extracts. Now I made the effort to address your concerns as best I can. If you do choose to give the BHT a try I do ask you to report your results here in this EARTH CLINIC forum.
And there is this BHT CURES group you may wish to join to be in touch with other people using the BHT treatment here: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BHTcures/

Hi Oscar! Dave from Florence SC here! Thanks for the reply. Your right there are many different studies with different results. As I stated I have ordered the 350mg. Caps. From the same supplier you said you traded with. Still waiting on those and look forward to getting going. I am taking heed to your information that the BHT works better by itself besides other treatment. I have been using the milk thistle and 2 Chinese Herbal supplements: Hepatoplex two: "to invigorate the blood and clear damp heat"; Clear Heat: "Clean heat toxin". Must be Chinese terms. I also got some extra virgin olive oil to take after an hour of taking the BHT to protect my nerve sheathing per your opinion. All of these suggestions and experiences shared by all are very much appreciated. As soon as I get the BHT I will start and report my status. Sure hope and pray it cures me.
Oscar, after a bit of BHT treatment do you think in your opinion it would be productive to use the chinese herbs? Is there any vitamins or supplements that would enhance the BHT performance? Like the olive oil is there any other protective measures you have found to safeguard other organs or body funtions? Is the correct or best time to use the ev olive oil an hour after taking the bht or just a minimum time period not to be counter productive in the bht therapy? Thanks again...Dave

Bill, Thanks for responding to my post and giving me the enlightening information concerning therapy for Hep C. I am going to try the BHT as soon as I get it from the distributor and hope it works but it is reassuring to know there are other techniques that have worked for people besides the poison Big Pharma trys to monopolize the drug market and health care community with. Any help is very much appreciated and I will post any and all developments with my treatments to let everyone know. Thanks again.... Dave from Florence SC.

Dear Dave from Florence SC, My advice for what it is worth is: BHT works best by itself and not mixed with other supplements. This opinion of mine is based on my use of BHT to treat hepatitis C, AND the feedback available from those who have had success using the BHT treatment.
I spent a long time looking into the different metabolites of BHT. It is these metabolites of BHT that enter the bloodstream. These metabolites are altered molecules of BHT and are no longer BHT. These different metabolites do maintain the basic structure of BHT. A six carbon ring with those two tert-buty groups. Some oxygen atoms are added either at one or more of those tertiary hydrogen atoms or at the methyl group or both of those events.
Those toxicology reports I have reffered to in some of my postings discuss all this. The BHT has to be altered in such ways as to make it SOMEWHAT water soluble. These reports discuss routes of metabolism. Oxygen atoms are added in a number of different ways to the BHT molecule to make it water soluble. The carboxyl group is one of the groups most often discussed. The carboxyl group is acidic and reactive. It can and will chemically combine with such compounds as silymarin [ a major component of milk thistle ] because silymarin possesses a carbonyl group. Silymarin is about 5 times larger than than a BHT molecule. This combined BHT/silymarin molecule is far too large to penetrate those lipid containing viral coatings and thereby renders the BHT metabolites ineffective. The BHT no longer works as an antiviral. Those BHT metabolites need to seek out [ due to their relatively lipophyllic nature ] and then penetrate those viral coatings. And when embedded in those viral coatings move about very rapidly because of the different oxygen atoms of the different metabolites always seeking but never acheiving permanent HYDROGEN BONDS. It is a straight forward means of destroying these viral coatings. Once the viral coatings are gone the foreign proteins that make up the core of these viruses are readily attacked by the bodie`s defense mechanisms. White blood cells and such. A beautiful, simple means of destroying these viruses. Not only much safer than conventional treatments but actually good for you because of BHT`s free radical scavaging properties if taken in proper dosages.
I am giving you one example of what I am talking about. I have NO idea of what the different compounds are that make up all these different teas are. Does anyone? And that is why I am convinced: The best way to take BHT is by itself, alone. Not only at the time of ingestion, but alone. Not mixed with other supplemental treatments. Just eat a healthy diet. An occassional vitamin C and vitamin B-complex pill does not seem to screw up the process and may be helpful. I really do NOT know with any certainty about even those vitamins.
Now some exercise is also important. You need to keep things moving inside you. It is also helpful to drink enough good quality water to maintain healthy hydration. I use distilled water. Those are my recommenations....Oscar

Thanks Oscar for responding concerning the suplements and BHT consumption. Thats good enough for me. I appreciate learning from others experience. You had mentioned in a past post that the ev olive oil or ev coconut oil could be taken after an hour of the BHT to help protect the sheathing of nerves. Is this the optimum time to take this and is this important? If you would be so kind to elaborate I sure would appreciate it. Thanks...... Dave from Florence SC.

Dear Dave from Florence, what I mean about olive oil is that you need to wait AT LEAST one hour after taking the BHT to allow for maximum absoption of the BHT. I do think idealy this olive oil should be taken either with a meal or shortly after a meal. Just make sure you allow for AT LEAST one hour to go by before taking /using the olive oil. It could be two, three, four hours later. This use of olive oil is to ensure an adequate source of good quality lipids most especially for lean or thin people....Oscar

Dave from Florence SC: Thanks for getting me straight on the olive oil. I got my first batch of BHT today (6/5/12) (325mg) and thought I would take 1 a day for the 1st, 3 days then step up to 2. I have some bloating and didn't know if it was from the BHT or not. Have you experienced this when using BHT? Thanks!
BHT
Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 06/10/2012
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

What a wonderful website. I have just had 24 hours of hell reading about all of the side effects of HCV treatment. I contracted HCV in 1996 and then was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer in 1998, HCV had to take a back seat while I concentrated on three surgical operations, radioactive iodine therapy and then getting my life back on track. Now the HCV has come back to haunt me and I have been advised I have cirrhosis and they are recommending I start a 48 week treatment. This is currently not an option due to commitments. Looking at all of the side effects I decided there must be an alternative which is when I found this website. Anyway I just wanted to say I have asked my local health store (Melbourne, Australia) to source some BHT. They did give me a strange look but said they would see what they could do. Fingers crossed.... As soon as I have sourced it I will obtain a copy of my results from my Doctor, upload them here and start what sounds like the perfect treatment/solution/cure. Thank you for this extremely informative information. I already feel an enormous weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Here goes.... Jay

Did you contract it through work as a nurse? Did you have any lab work while taking the oil? What about any symptoms from taking the oil? Thanks.

Interesting I will read more posts. I was wondering if you have interest in working with me for testing and helping me. I discovered I have Hep C 1b about a year ago.
I had a Primary Care who noticed higher Liver Enzymes and was subsequesntly tested for Hepatises C. I have been keeping track of different lab results and Ultra sounds for the period over 18 months. I would be willing to share in exchange of some guidance. I am preparing to start a new meds approach but open to alternative methods.
If this is something that interests you please email me at thoreauhouse(at)yahoo.com

Viral Load
Posted by Fatchabrute (Tucson, Az) on 03/24/2012
Oscar, I understand the viral load numbers, the type of test, the IU/mL are complicated to determine. Perhaps you can calculate what this information below means:
Both my tests were done w/ COBRA (R) AmpliPrep TagMan ® HCV Test Kit (Roach Molecular System. Inc)
The first test [=HCV RNA PCR QUANT out of range 2110000, reference range <43 IU/mL
HCV RNA PCR OUANT out of range 6.32H.. Reference range <1.63 LogIU/mL.
SECOND TEST:
HCV RNA PCR QUANT... out of range 837930 IU/mL...reference range(43
HCV RNA PCR Quant ... Out of range 5.92 log IU/mL....reference range (1.63
I believe it mentioned Genome 1????.. not that that matters.
Are the numbers, the raw numbers that mean what they say, or do you need to multiply something x something to get the vl number? Or to compare them?
Viral Load
Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 03/26/2012
Dear fatcha brute, I found a link to this website that has the most easily understood explanation for what these viral load counts mean. Now your viral load count is less than 1, 000, 000. That puts you in what is considered the LOW range as discussed here: http://www.hepatitis-central.com/hcv/hepatitis/loadchart.html
Also, it is good hearing from you. There is that BHT CURES I encouraged you to join here: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BHTcures/
This is a way of staying in contact with people trying the BHT treatment for viral diseases. But your participation in the Earth Clinic forum is important. You are an Earth Clinic Hero. So, whether or not you choose to join the BHT CURES group, do, please keep posting here....Oscar

Went to the doctor today, the numbers were not what I precieved but they were none the less great. As I stated before the venerial warts I had fo 30 or 40 years are totally gone and that was a month after I took the bht. Anyway.. To the point... The numbers were as the nurse told me however the decimal point was not there so my viral load went from 2110000 to 837930 so more then half.. I have been taking two caps of bht 180 mg plus Ascorbyl Palimate, a fat soluble form of vitamine C, once a day. I ate as usual, drink coffee, and eat sweets... Lots of sweets. And drink much milk, in addition I am on a high dose of methadone and have been for decades. I take no other vitamins.
I will not post again unless the the viral load reaches non detectable levels.
My original post where I said the c was totally gone was supposition that the warts were gone... they worked on the same premise, and a friend went from 6 mil VL to non detectable. Using bht. So I knew it worked but was a bit over zealous. But down by half ain't chopped liver!
All in all, I'll keep on BHT, perhaps take a few other things W/ BHT

It's really good to hear from you Fatchbrute, I was wondering how you have been doing since I heard about you a couple of months ago. Oscar speaks highly about your improvement with BHT which caused me to to have a lot of hope with it. I tried to click on the email tab below your post and it didn't link me to your email address. There are a lot of new members posting about their results over at
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BHTcures/
I am waiting for my second ALT/AST test to show a difference from my base line which is ALT81ui AST54ui
I am hoping to see you there with Oscar and the rest of us. Stay well.

Dear Twodragunns, It is very good hearing from you. It seems the BHT works very well for some people and not as well for others. Please do post your blood test results when they become available to you. Also, there is this BHT CURES group you might wish to join. But, please do post your bloodwork results here in this forum first and foremost. Here is a link to the BHT CURES group:

I have seen great success with colloidal silver over the years in dealing with viral infections, even body wide. I am wondering if silver might help with Hep B or C. In my own experience I used the silver two or three times daily, a tablespoon at a time... For months to give the silver time to work. But not on a Hep infection. I'd love to hear if viral load droped with the use of silver. Just a suggestion.

I know it's been awhile but perhaps that's a good thing. I also have HCV as well as just diagnosed prostatitis. Read about BHT and was encouraged by your post. So did it clear you and are you still alive and cured? Feel free to email me.
