Doreen,

I am pretty new to this site (found you on the weekend), but I have replaced my carb addiciton with surfing here!

Just wanted to say that I have read lots of your posts..... Thanks for the good info in ALL of them.

Had to respond to this thread..... I have HCV and was a little worried about telling my specialist (I see him in June) about low carbing because of what I had heard and read about the stress on the liver. I wasn't going to ask about going on the 'plan' cause I was going to do it anyway! Thanks for your reassurance. I don't think I will even mention it now!

Also, in recent weeks I have been doing a lot of research re Milk Thistle and actually bought some a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't going to take any until talking to the Doc, but again, I feel pretty assured that its certainly not likely to 'hurt' anything...... but in fact may be a real benefit.

I am part of the 'Health Care Team' and I am pretty disappointed in how skeptical and ignorant the allied professionals are (especially MD's) when it comes to holisitic medicine etc.

Keep up the great work! I'll be reading!!!

Pat
