Good afternoon.
I'm not a doctor, so I'm not going to be having all those great big words that I really like to hear. In 1979, I was crushed by a bulldozer. I underwent nine major surgeries to reattach my right leg, received for blood transfusions and at a time a lethal dose of hepatitis C. Throughout the following decade, I had one doctor after another telling me that my liver was swollen and my liver enzymes were extremely high. In 1991, I was diagnosed with malignant testicular lymphoma. My radiation doctor spent most of his time accusing me of being an alcoholic and a drug addict. He told me that I could not have liver enzymes this high unless I was a serious drug user. In the years that followed, I never felt I recovered from radiation therapy. In 1993, I became so tired, noxious and sick, I could no longer function. I was diagnosed with various things such as chronic fatigue syndrome, iron overload in my liver, depression and many other things. I was even told that I should see a psychiatrist because I had symptoms of things that nobody could comprehend.
Eventually, I was accidentally diagnosed by a blood bank. In 1994, after diagnosis, I spent time with liver specialists like gastroenterologists and the hepatologist. The one thing these doctors had in common was that they wouldn't let me ask any questions. Basically, I was told I had three to five years to live after interferons failed and their science and maybe that science would come up with something before my time was a.
But frankly, I wasn't ready to die yet. I started going to nutritional lists, natural paths and chiropractors. I bought a computer. And I began studying hepatitis C. I studied people who were treating hepatitis C all over the world.
I diligently followed the program that I outline and triumph over Hepatitis-C for 18 straight months on April 10th. Ninety seven, UCLA declared me hepatitis C. Free.
Thank you very much. My last hepatitis C test was one year ago this month and it came out negative. That's at seven years, about a little over six and a half years. Hepatitis C is a blood borne virus that usually remains asymptomatic for ten to twenty five years while damaging the liver and other organs. This is why it is often referred to as the silent killer. The current wave of hepatitis C infections in the United States, for the most part, is the result of blood banks offering lower income individuals a few dollars, forgiving a pint of blood. This blood then found its way to the innocent victims undergoing medical procedures.
