Testimonials from commerical web pages and phony legal claims are squat,
Chardonnay. Those people are being fleeced by their own wishes. Pathetic,
really.
Add to colloidal silver, the promises from those that believe that iron
chelation therapy, ultraviolet light treatment of blood, and a host of other
quack quack I'm a duck 'therapies', and what do you have? Hepatitis C
moldering away in your liver.
best wishes

You took the words out of my mouth, CJ - personally I give no
"validation" to any website that is trying to sell me something,
whether it is books, herbs or whatever. Sure if you are interested in
buying those things, please feel free to do as you will, its a "free
country" as they say and we are all free to make our own choices/
decisions, but please don't feed "testimonials" to me as God
Speak.... :(

I have to agree here on two things. I asked my wife about CS and her
response was that she believes that it has some toxic side-effects.
She's going to research it further but says she's pretty sure she's
right, which I've learned over 21 years of marriage, means that she's
right-on 95% of the time.
It's probably not a good thing to add any toxins to your system that
go through the liver -- and EVERYTHING goes through the liver. So do
be careful.
Secondly, it's been my experience that sites that offer legitimate
help don't sell a specific product.There is a kind of conflict-of-
interest in terms of how a site that exists for profit can provide
honest, impartial, information about what will help you versus what
they are selling (either directly or as an online affiliate).
It's kind of like going to the Schering Corporation and asking what
the best interferon treatment is. You wouldn't be surprised when they
told you that PEG-Intron is the best and they just happen to
manufacture and sell it; you lucky person.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong -- the rub is I could be right.
