cathy,

There are a plethora of clinical determinants that guide the dosing of the botanical medicines in this protocol. Weight, viral load, liver function tests, medical history, blood pressure, pulse, diet, exercise, etc. - all of which require an office visit with a physician. The dosing of these botanical medicines also varies during the course of treatment pursuant to response. The choice to use my approach in conjunction with or as an alternative to interferon/ribivarin cannot be responsibly guided by an internet exchange.

Again, I actively discourage any attempt to employ this approach without the counsel of a local N.D. There are also D.O.s and M.D.s who are vaguely familiar with botanical medicines.

Where do you live? Are you unable to locate a Bastyr-educated N.D. in your area? If that's the case, there should be M.D.s or D.O.s practicing in your area who would be willing to guide this approach.

sincerely,

John
