Well, times are rough. We have to put the fear of God into some selected group so that they spend their money for us to manufacture things so that we can make a living in this economy.

I had saw that article the other day. I had Hep C and God cured me from it, not many people clear it without a combination of about 3 to for drugs for 6 to 9 months or to a year of treatment, that makes you feel really bad. And after having it for years, I was told by my gastroenterologist last month that I no longer have it. Ain't God good;)

That's wonderful news Lewis! Yes, God is good, and He heals better than man's medicines which only control symptoms, and have a lot of bad side-effects as well as you mentioned! (Some say that the drugs can "cure" it, but that's far and few. A woman on another forum I saw was discouraged when they said that because her husband has it and is not cured. She did not believe they cure it.)

I had it for years Tim, and the people who clear it without the drugs is around 5 to 7 % But now they have some new drugs on the scene along with 1 old one Interferon that are getting rid of it up to about 85% no matter what Geno type you are. But talk about feeling bad all the time this treatment is no joke. And if you are Anemic Hep C treat is very, very hard to take. and sometimes they have to hit you with this treatment for some additional months. But when people are dying they can get very desperate.

Deja Vu.

I thought I posted something about this testing a few months ago and I did... The reason I'm mentioning it is that there's articles all over the place again about the CDC recommending baby boomers getting this test. Why of course. We were all drug-snorting, pot-headed needle users experimenting with all types of sexuality. :toofunny

"But I did not do all that!", a boomer says. "Don't matter." says Mr. CDC. "One medical shoe-size fits all. Don't you know that? Now, get tested. And for heaven's sake take your cholesterol pills, stay out of the sun, have zero fats and salt like everyone else, and go back to your Microsoft computer so we can watch you. And if you get sick, it's still your fault."
