Approximately five years ago I was feeling listless and generally in ill health
so I thought I would go see my Doctor. After a complete blood count I found
I had type II diabetes and also the Hepatitis C virus. When I asked my doctor
what Hepatitis-C was he informed me that they didn't know a whole lot about
it yet and called it non A non-B Hepatitis. I decided to venture off on my
own to see where a naturopathic/homeopathic course would lead.
At this time in my life I was excited and motivated to read and hear everything I could get my hands on to heal myself. After all, your body is magical and given what it needs the body can heal and repair itself. Anyway, through eating mostly wholesome foods and proper supplementation, I was making excellent progress until my blood test 6 months ago showed my viral load count, which had previously been going down steadily, suddenly shot up higher than ever. I was devastated by this news.
After many more tests I made the decision to go on a Doctor prescribed drug called Peg-Interferon and have been administering it for the last 5 months. The side effects from this drug can be severe and do alter your life style quite a bit. Some of these side effects were weight and hair loss, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and oh yea, loss of libido. Loss of Libido? Nobody said anything about loss of Libido before I began the treatments.
Then, I was introduced to Immunocal and Magistral. Two packs of Immunocal in the morning and two late in the afternoon have changed my life. I am no longer fatigued during the day, the muscle aches and pains are gone, the rashes, did I mention the rashes? Well they are gone too. No more soreness on the bottoms of my feet, headaches, sensitive skin, my appetite has improved so I am gaining weight back slowly and my outlook on life has never been better. I am also happy to report that since starting on a tablespoon of Magistral in the morning and one at night and after only nine days my Libido has returned. My wife Susie and I are delighted! Thank you Dr. Bounous and Immunotec Research for giving me my life back.
