Hey, I got an idea...
Let's arrange a romantic dinner meeting for Chardonnay and Iron Justice--  
I'm sure they're compatible, lots in common, a similar level of paranoia
about medicine, delusions about snake oil cures and an unhealthy obsession
with metal related to curing hepatitis c. Bet they'd be madly in love by the
time dessert was served.

Hi spidey,
 I don't get their posts to the list.  I wonder why.  But I do get the
blowback which
is quite hilarious.  My source was the horse's a.s er mouth about those
silver bullets.
What house is the moon in tonight?

Well... The moon was in Libra that day. The house depends on the time
of day and particular place.
Being in Libra seems to support WS's idea of a Relationship.....

Thanks, Alex
 I learned something.  WS and I are not too far apart geographically.  She
lives perhaps six hundred miles due West of me.  Of course I was looking for
the answer 'Libra' and used the wrong term.

Aw, Spidey, they make life infinitely more fun.  After all, we don't have
Elmo's farts and burps any more.

I miss Elmo.  :-(

It is FUNNY, actually, how this disease seems to attract so many loons
& quacks. Don't know why that is. Having never had a serious disease
before, I have no idea if hep c is unique or unusual in this regard.
This dude was healed by Jebus! At least--unlike colloidal semen--
*JEBUS* is *FREE*:

(On the other hand, maybe it was God the Father that healed him. Or
the Holy Spirit.

Not sure which member of the trinity is the most potent antiviral...)

According to the video, this guy was actually on combo therapy for at least
two weeks, and apparently cleared in that time. Perhaps there was some deity
involved, perhaps not, but bottom line is he was on therapy.

Because virtually nobody tests at the end of the second week on therapy
there's no way to know for certain if he's just another super-responder, or a
"super duper responder".

It's still not even general practice to do a VL check at the end of week 4 as
it is - and that's usually the point where a first-order determination of
response can be made. Folks clear at that point are deemed to be
super-responders, but some could have been clear at the end of the second week
(if you don't do the test, you don't know either way).

Of course, we don't know (1) if he continued the full course of therapy and
(2) if he obtained SVR. So, about the only interesting thing the video
provides is he had an excellent response to the doctor-prescribed course of
treatment.

Whether he had any special help from some Big Hairy Thunderer In The Sky or
not is left to the viewer...but I wonder if random deities would assist
someone who is either clueless or just less than honest about how he was
exposed in the first place...

Cheers

Really? I gotta re-watch. I was under the impression that Thor made
him HCV-free B4 he started tx. Well shiver me timbers...

At 2:37 he states "once you start treatment you get a 2 week test and so I
took my test..."

And at 4:30 he states his doctor told him he was "a super duper responder"
based on the results from that 2 week test.

So it's pretty clear he was on treatment...

Cheers

Oh, bummer. Greyhackles---you've destroyed my faith in the ability of
deities to heal bald dudes who visit televangelist types.

How will I live?

I have a vision of tag-team emails. :) I haven't heard from chard for a
while, these filters work great.
