New 12 week Treatment for Hep C is FDA Approved


Sofosbuvir, a new Hepatitis C treatment drug, has been approved by the FDA! This drug can eliminate the drugs Interferon & Ribavirin from Hep C, Genotypes 2 & 3 treatment regimens and treatment times are shortened to 12 weeks, with the addition of one other drug and no Interferon.

Genotype 1, probably the most common & hardest type of Hepatitis C to get rid of, can be treated with Sofosbuvir, Interferon, & Ribavirin and treatment times vary from 12 to 24 weeks. Studies have show a 89% cure rate for Hepatitis C, Type 1, in 12 weeks. This is an increase from the older longer lasting treatments at a 75% cure rate. There is hope!

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers..
