Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / September 2005golden standard
The tx (interferon plus riba) treatment for 24 to 48 weeks is considered as a golden standard for treatment of HCV. The questionis: is that the only way of treating? Or is this not the only affordable one. Is there any platinum, or diamond standard? What are wealthy people doing? Pamela Anderson for instance is HCV infected. Any idea what treatment she took. Captain Baco Pamela Anderson for instance is HCV infected. Any idea what treatment she took. Captain Baco //////////// Yeah, she had 30 pounds of milk thistle implanted into her breasts. :-) Elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum Aaah, good form Elmo, good form :) kj > Pamela Anderson for instance is HCV infected.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Any idea what treatment she took. >Captain Baco Other than the milk thistle implants she's not doing anything. She has stage 0 liver damage and is waiting things out hoping better things come along. Right now I believe there is only interferon/riba for broadly approved therapy. Some people do clinical trials though when they are desperate or broke. Captain, For now, Pam Anderson is doing the natural thing. That was her words....

Elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum healthy thighs! but i dont think "all natural" is a safe approach. she claims she just got infected w/hcv. shes an old broad who's been around. who knows. > healthy thighs! but i dont think "all natural" is a safe approach. she > claims she just got infected w/hcv. shes an old broad who's been around. > who knows. Lest we divide ourselves into "old broad who's been around" category and "innocent victims", I think we need to focus on a shared sense of having a disease vs. not having it. I have no care for how someone got it. My only reason to be here is to support people who have it in the same way others supported me. Pam Anderson makes a lot of sense to me. She's majorly time-limited in her career. Make a lot of money now and deal later. I'd do the same. >> healthy thighs! but i dont think "all natural" is a safe approach. she >> claims she just got infected w/hcv. shes an old broad who's been around.

I think Randy was referring to her age and the fact that Our Pammy may have had hep C for decades. > I have no care for how someone got it.

Make a lot of money now and deal later. I'd do the same. Unless she's had it for decades (quite possible); then her decision to play with "natural treatments" is just a dumb blonde one. To my knowledge, she's not had a biopsy and in that regard she's playing a dangerous game by not knowing how much liver damage she's suffered. We all know that most people don't have symptoms until the late stages. Waterspider In re to my post about Anderson. You read me correctly. I did mean Pamela is playing with fire. But she also has nice thighs! lol Randy [...] > > Pam Anderson makes a lot of sense to me. She's majorly time-limited in > > her career. Make a lot of money now and deal later. I'd do the same.

From July 25, 2002: http://www.jaehakim.com/articles/tv/features/pam.htm She said on Larry King that she'd had a biopsy. She has said in other. more recent, links that she's putting off treatment as long as she can.

I remember reading an article where she was quoted saying that milk thistle was curing her hep c <cringe>. It upsets me because a lot of people do listen to her and she's become a self-proclaimed spokesperson for hep c. We don't even want to get into her thing of combining the cause with her work for AIDS patients. I don't question her motives (I'm sure she's sincere) but she's doing hep C sufferers a huge disservice by spreading misinformation and myths. IMHO. Waterspider |
