January 13, 2003 Dear Dr. Cummins, Thank you for your note and your kindness in sending more of this incredable supplement. To answer your questions I have lost approx.30 lb's over the last 8 months due to anorexia related to the disease. I never smoked and don't intent to start now. I don't exercise, even though I know I should. I want to report another positive development. I have been living on 1 meal a day and a snack for the entire 8 months. The last 3 days I had 2 full meals and a snack. And I fully believe it is due to your supplement. If progress continues at this rate. I just might beat this thing. I am awaiting a liver biopsy and a viral load test that will tell me exactly where I am at in terms of degree of destruction to my liver. And the possibility of taking injectable interferon and ribovirin. But with the budget cuts in Calif I don't know whats going to happen. I'm hopeing the supplement, plus the oral INFa might keep the virus in check and may even allow my liver to regenerate itself a little. Hopefully this will happen even before the biopsy takes place. I can't thank you enough for all you have done. And if more people in my circumstances get to try your supplement. I know that you will be receiving alot of letters like mine. Again I cannot thank you enough for all you have done to help me and are doing to help me. I sincerely mean that for the first time in a very long time I have some Hope. Sincerely W.Carney LPN
