Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
For people who aren't able to handle Tx for whatever reason this is another option: They install a filtering device and it's like going in for dialysis, from what I've read. It's filters out the virus each time it's done. Not all of it, necesarily, but lowering the viral load and the damage it is causing.

Jim who works there is quite willing to talk to people on the phone about his. I have given his phone number to Marilyn. I talked to him several years ago when I first found out about the process as a treatment for Hep C, and he is very nice.

And since VL is not correlated to liver damage, how does this help?
Just curious, joe
IMHO the only time a VL is significant is when you don't have one any more.
Q What does it mean when your viral load increases over the course of a year or two? Mine went from 4K to 8K. Took treatment twice.
A Viral load does not indicate disease severity. So the fact that your viral load has gone up does not indicate that your liver disease is worse, or that your disease is progressing. In studies where researchers took blood from people with HCV very frequently, it was found that the amount of virus in the blood fluctuates by huge numbers over time (and even within a single day). In short, what does it mean that your HCV viral load went from 4K to 8K? Based on all the evidence available, it indicates nothing of clinical relevance that you should be concerned about.

The VL is either zero, or you have Hep. A low VL sounds like something desirable, but theres' no evidence that it matters.
I believe that further medical research will link high VL to being cuddly and adorable, but as yet there is insufficient research to prove my hypothesis
