    • Close Cirrhosis

      I was given the Hep C virus in a blood transfusion 32 yrs ago. I,ve been consciencious and refrained from as much alchohol and toxic intake as is humanly possible, But it turns out it had become liver cirrhosis 14 or so years ago. The damage done is great. Life expectancy decreased to 12-18months, 14 months ago. It is a progressive condition. I,ve treated it so far with an illimination diet,and also nutritional supplements and herbal preparations. This has helped very much! My fear now is that saving my life without meds. is going to render me bed bound. Comments please; Keeping my blood preasure down seems to help with enceph. But means i can,t have a life on my feet ???

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I decide i would tackle it from this angle many years ago24 in all.It has helped very much in understanding and controling some thingswhich have helped me control some things about the decease. This unfortunately gave me false hopeand subsequent shock and horror last year when it was discovered the liver had continued to deteriate despite the control i had gained on the liver funtions.However i know myself very well now. I hope theres an after life to make good use of it.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I have written for years also and find it very thereputic.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      After months of trying to come to terms with my life being lost to this vicious virusIt suddenly dawned on me I dont believe in death I have to believe in something for it to be realI do not believe in the power of destructive over the power of the creative otherwise we would not be here at all. This thought in a flash turned my powerlessness into empowerment.Very sneeky this death chap trying to frighten me into believing in him. Its so natural to survive and so natural to fear death.
