I am allergic to Ribovarin (I get a rash) Doctor's took me off treatment. This new Vertex sounds like the chance of Rash or side effects is greater for this type of treatment. So,,,,what if I just take Vertex,without Antiferon and Ribovarin. Is there a possibility it could still help? I'm willing to Guinee Pig.For science and to save my liver..

My specialist told me that Vertex trials were not interested in me because am a null responder to Interferon and Ribavarin treatment and that I have cirrhosis. I truly do not know who to believe any more and that is extremely disheartening. I don't know what is more damaging , the disease or the false hope. I am confused.

I have been geting ozone treatments in Germnat every tear since 1992 and I have nearly conquered any ill feeling, although I felt like death for a long time at the beginning. This is not some lull or intermittent improvement. I ahve no nausea, no more pain and have not had that "want to die" feeling for many years now. Ozone is not a cure, but it strengthened me to the point of where I might not even do another medicine. The ozone has to be the drip infusion method dome in Germany as ther is no one in the USA that does it correctly. The USA is full of quack ozone Doctors that inject ozone directly into a vein, which is a big mistake. In the ozone drip infusion correct German treatment method they take about 200 ml of blood into a vacuum bottle and infuse the ozone into the blood in the bottls. In 1992 I could hardly walk and I wanted to die from the deathly nausea, wekaness and deathly feeling all over my body. Ozone is the only thing that saved me and I can that from my heart. I have not one thing to gain by telling my story. Look for a German Doctor or Hellpraktiker that does Ozone. I go to Dirk Forstmeyer in Hannover, Germnat. He is not only sweet and honest, he has the most modern equipment and I nearly run out of there with energy and peace in my body and soul. I love German Ozone ! It has saved me. Anyone cana call me ( GARY 407-409-4682 ) I know 9f many Ozone Specialists in Germany but I say avoid any and all here in the USA. I know how to go there cheap and stay for a month cheap. I thank God for Ozone and German Technology ! Wait until Teleprevir is approved before making any decisions.
