GET TESTED for Hepatitis C! Important for Everyone from Transplant Recipients to Licensed Practical Nurses!

GET TESTED for Hepatitis C!

About me: (from www.myspace.com/figmento )

I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in June 1997 in Glenwood Springs, Colorado and since that time I have turned my life over to educating and advocating wherever I can for Hepatitis C. I do have cirrhosis.

You should be tested for Hepatitis C if you:

*Received blood, blood products, or an organ transplant prior to 1992
*Ever shared drug paraphernalia
*Ever been stuck by a used blood needle
*Had a tattoo or body piercing
*Been on kidney dialysis
*Had sexual activity that involved contact with blood
*Had a vaccination with a pneumatic jet gun injector (Military)
*Shared personal care items with other people (razors, toothbrushes, nail clippers, etc.)
*Work as a first responder (EMT, fireman, policeman, etc.) or in the health care field (Doctor,PA, RN, LPN, etc)

Hepatitis C patients outnumber HIV patients FIVE TO ONE! 1 in 12 in the world have some form of hepatitis! Visit http://www.aminumber12.org/ for more information.


While living in Woodstock, GA several years ago, I became actively involved in a nonprofit called H.E.A.L.S of North Georgia (Hepatitis Education Awareness and Liver Support) and when I moved to Florida we changed the name to H.E.A.L.S of the South. We have websites at http://www.healsofthesouth.org/ and http://www.healsofthesouth.com/

Stop by and visit!

Also you can join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HepCingles2 and ASK QUESTIONS and receive support!

Mahatma Gandhi put it well: "Be the change you want to see in the world." It always begins with one person.

Tell 12 of your friends to get Tested for Hep C and vaccinated for Hep A and Hep B and tell them to tell 12 friends.   Let's educate the WORLD!

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
