Nothing like greasy farts just before dinner unless it's greasy farts
after dinner. (sounds really romantic, don't it
Dort.......aahahahhahahahaha) sh.t, Russ!! You're going to have to get
down here for some real Ozarks hospitality......fantastic bbq and
jammin' blues music. I got me a real smokin' machine and there's plenty
of good music. Don't forget to bring 'Suzie Q', I aint seen her since I
sent her to you UPS. :-)
A friend of mine is 'procuring' me a gallon of the real McCoy Arkansas
moonshine next week. With a little luck, I'll go blind from it. :-0 elmo

Spontaneous HCV Clearance More Common Than Previously Thought Group:
alt.support.hepatitis-c Date: Thu, Apr 20, 2006, 6:37pm (CDT+1) From:
tomw@capecod.com (Thomas Wagner) Spontaneous HCV Clearance More Common
Than Previously Thought NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Apr 19 - Spontaneous
clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) after chronic infection is thought
to be a rare event, but new research suggests that clearance rates as
high as 8% may occur. Roughly 15% to 30% of people who become infected
with HCV will clear the virus during the acute phase. Until recently, it
was believed that the remaining patients with chronic infection seldom,
if ever, clear the virus.
In a Japanese study reported in 2003, an HCV clearance rate of 3.7% was
described in patients with chronic infection. The present findings,
which appear in Clinical Infectious Diseases for April 1, suggest that
the rate may be higher still.
The study involved 139 Alaskan natives who had tested positive for HCV
RNA on three separate occasions and were followed on a regular basis for
a mean period of 7 years.
Eleven of the patients (8%) had at least one test with undetectable HCV
RNA during follow-up. Seven of these patients were considered to have
probable or possible HCV clearance, yielding an annual clearance rate of
0.74% per person year.
Follow-up testing of nine of the seronegative patients identified five
that still appeared to be virus-free, the report indicates. A low HCV
RNA titer predicted spontaneous nondetectability of HCV RNA. In a
related editorial, Dr. Georg M. Lauer and Dr. Arthur Y. Kim, from
Harvard Medical School in Boston, point out that "more studies are
needed before we can feel confident about the incidence of spontaneous
viral clearance in chronic HCV infection or before we start
investigating the genetic disposition of Alaska Natives and its
relevance to viral control."
"Meanwhile, clinicians should stay alert to this rare outcome of HCV
infection, and further investigations of this phenomenon should be
strongly encouraged," the editorialists add. Clin Infect Dis
2006;42:945-954.

It's probably due to the whale blubber the Eskimos are so fond of
eating. :-)
