All natural NutriFeron can be very successful in treating it. It contains a clinically proven blend of immune-strengthening plant extracts that boosts the body's natural interferon. This was developed by Dr. Kojima who discovered interferon in 1954 and spent 40 years searching for a natural interferon booster - the result being NutriFeron. It's made up of a proprietary blend of natural plant extracts from pumpkin seeds, safflower flowers, plantago seeds, and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds which have been clinically proven to support and stimulate the natural immune response process at the cellular level without any side effects.
Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions or the website.

With all the genotypes combined and with a sustained viral response beyond a year post antiviral chemotherapy, the rate is 80 percent.
Usually a doctor will tell you that your cured once you've established a successful sustained viral response and will use the "CURE" word.
The highest sustained response to antivrial chemotherapy resides mainly with 2a, 2b and 3's and 4's leaving 1a's and 1b's the lowest curable rate. This might have to do with some sort of lymphatic issue, ie, the virus directly affected the lymphatic system as it's primary route of infection. It is still unclear why the chemical make-up of the antiviral meds do not penetrate the cellular structure of the virus in those that seem to have lymphatic involvement. Last I heard the studies were trying to determine the issue.
So your answer could be correct by saying that, depending on genotype and how the hcv was contracted, the chance of a "cure" is about 55%. If you are easier to treat, your chances are higher by as much as 25%.

The combo treatment described above works for about 50% of the people who have hep C, and many people can't tolerate the side effects.
If "cured" is defined as viral level too low to be detected by today's technology, then yes, it is curable for roughly half the people who have it.

The first answer has the correct meds, but this combination can cure this illness. Not always, but often.

It is not curable.You can lower your viral load with interferon and ribarvarin. This willgive your liver a break on being over worked.The side effects are horrible, but u should consider it. Not everybody has side effects.
