Will my hepatitis C come back I am six months after treatment and still negative?

First let me say, Congratulations! My husband has Hep C and the treatments were unsuccessful. I also work for a Gastroenterologist so I know a little about the disease from both aspects. You should know that nothing is 100%. Howevver, they say if you can go 6 months and still be negative, your chances are very good that it will not return. Like I said, though, nothing is 100% and there are always exceptions. The most important thing that we have learned through our ordeal is that the quality of life far outweighs the quantity. Take care of yourself and you should do well.

I also have Hep-C which I contracted in 1980 first diagnosed as Non-A/Non-B. I started taking Liveraid about four years ago. I took the Liveraid after seeing that it contained the same vitamins and supplements that were suggested for liver health in the book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing". The Liveraid contains vitamin B12. amino acids, and Lecithin. I'm not a doctor but I can honestly say that four years later my liver enzyme levels are normal and have been for two and a half years. My liver specialist that tests me every year says that he doesn't necessarily believe that the Liveraid has brought my liver functions to normal levels but he says whatever works I should keep doing. I should also note that I drink around a six-pack or two of beer a week and I am 48 years old.

Who found the cure for hepatitis?

There is presently one cure that is guaranteed to cure Hep C,and it is not Interferon, or Ribavirin. Its Brown Rice with crushed sesame and salt. You must eat this for 60 days straight with no other foods, it will be hard but for me my HCV RNA count went from 5,990,056 to ZERO in TWO MONTHS, get the blood test for the RNA Count before starting, and then after 49 days, but don't start right back to eating cause if there is still some left then it will make them stronger and harder to kill.Brown Rice has every single thing that is need to kill and stop HCV from growing thus a CURE. Also when you actually have Zero you must start with only veggies and then beans, fish then meat other wish you will have a stroke, also prolong consumption of Brown Rice will cause dizziness and headaches so be prepare because you made not take any DRUGs during this treatment.
