does anyone know of an alternative cure for hepatitis c? my dad is 61 years old and has recently been diagnosed with hep C.  Hep C is a disease that weakens your liver and therefore once it is full blown it affects your body's natural cleansing mechanism and forces you to hook up to a machine for the rest of your life...other than affecting your quality of life it also affects your the time that person has left on this earth.  It can lie dormant in your system and not affect you for years and with the right diet you can survive it but you can't stop it once it decides to affect you.  My dad's reletively healthy and he seems to be beating the odds...he's taking many vitamins a day and going to the especialist to keep track of his disease...there is a cure but it is much like chemotherapy...its a brutal and painful treatment without guaranteed success so my dad has chosen to try alterantives as he doesn't want his quality of life compromised and i admire him for that...i was just wondering if anyone out there knew any more information?? thanku
