You're welcome to post your alternative treatments questions there. I'll do a post about glutathione. I have studied it in depth.

yes, Hi, here is what they say. It is helpful for austism, cystic fibrosis, parkinsons, chronic fatigue and a few others, doesnt mention anything about hep C, but it looks like you were talking to someone else when you started this post... are you taking this?

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide. It contains an unusual peptide linkage between the amine group of cysteine and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side chain. Glutathione, an antioxidant, protects cells from toxins such as free radicals.

Another helpful herb that helps with a few symptoms, have been taking it for 2 years now,I think this is the reason why my vl was real low, was taking it for depression, worked better for me then any prescribed medications from the dr.

Ok, I bit the bullet...SAMe, yes, great stuff.
I notice a difference when I take it. Good for the liver, for arthritis, and for mood. What a deal! It provides methylation, which someone just sent me an article on.

Ever take a vitamin and actually feel your energy drop? There could be a reason for that: Some vitamins literally steal energy from your body's cells, while other vitamins delivered in a more natural chemical configuration actually donate energy to your cells!

In terms of nutrition, there's a huge difference between "junk" vitamins and higher end vitamins -- called "premethylated" vitamins. And while most low-end consumer vitamin companies rely on the junk, energy-stealing forms of these vitamins, quality vitamin companies use the higher-end (and more expensive) premethylated forms.

Here's one way you can tell the difference. Take any multivitamin product and look for the B vitamins section on the Nutrition Facts label.

Cheap vitamins (non-methylated) will use standardized "USP" vitamins such as "Thiamin USP (thiamin HCL) vitamin B1." That's the chemical form of vitamin B1, and it actually requires a donation of cellular energy from your body before you can use it. The form of B12 in cheap vitamins is cyanocobalamin.

Quality vitamins, on the other hand, will use the "coenzyme" forms of the B vitamins. Thse will often be listed with the word "coenzyme," and the form of vitamin B12 will appear as either methylcobalamin or hydroxycobalamin. That's a sure sign of a high-end, quality multivitamin.

Here it is again:

USP = cheap
B12 as cyanocobalamin = cheap

Coenzyme or methylated = quality
B12 as hydroxycobalamin or methylcobalamin = quality

Thanks and I will sign up for the alternative section. I am trying to be pro active more than anything. I have always taken a regiment of vitamins and have always at least walked everyday , unless it was pouring down rain. The doctor that I am going to see eventually will not start any treatment until I have been sober for six months. Thanksgiving day was the day I found out that I had the virus and That was the last day I will ever have a drink of alcohol.Thanks for the helpful responses .
