The thought of someone taking away my right to my preferred treatment has certainly got me angry.

You know if they pass it to where we need a prescription to get the herbs, supplements, there will be very few doctors who will write one. They don't think its the proper treatment.

I truely believe that we can make a difference.  At least we can't go down without a fight.  Get your family and friends to help you.  We can use all the help we can get.

Hi all.  Please take a moment to fill this out.  It takes just minutes.  I wish that this could stay at the top header just under Glen's top post.  If our ability to purchase supplements is undermined it will behave a chilling effect on our ability to get "alternative therapies".  I for one don't want to give up my right to do so and have extreme doubt that doctors could do it well since "alternatives" run counter to the drugs which doctors rely on prescribing.

Back just before the war in Iraq I recieved two on line petitions, which were then forwarded to as may people as you wished.  The response was so great that the server was closed down.  They simply could not handle the amount of responses that they recieved.  I am sure that somewhere someone might be doing that.  I wish that one making the rounds would find it's way here.  We are a group of people with HCV.  There are millions of us in the USA.  When you see how many of us read the threads here you realize that this is a very small group that read and post here.  I think one of the questions is how to get this information out there.

Thanks for posting this Laura; I wish it was sent to every Hep and HIV board........and all the other boards with people with similar concerns.
