Many years ago, I drank from the cup of a questionable person with bleeding gums. Afterwards, I had contracted jaundice, a symptom of hepatitis C which causes a yellowing of the skin. And I was diagnosed with hep C. At the time, it was an incurable disease. I read that this disease can take 10 years off your life! I cried out to Jesus! My test scores began coming back negative with no signs of ever having it in the first place. I believe it was Jesus as Healer who cured me. Jesus added 10 years to my life. And now, I have a job that requires clean blood and much of what I own, including this computer I’m typing on, comes from it. This is another way in which the Lord has truly provided for me and my family. Thank you, Jesus.

Mark 16:17-18 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents [with their hands], and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

May I ask what your job is?

Actually, it's a part time job. I am semi-retired. I'd rather not disclose too much personal information. But, I will tell you that I do Pharmaceutical Research and that my blood is of value.

You donate blood and/or plasma

So what you are saying is that somewhere in your blood, you have Hep C antibodies, which completely removed Hep C? Have you had your blood tested?
 
There is a medication regimen that now can cure hep c, however I here it is prohibitively expensive.

While relgious belief is certainly one possible explanation there are others.

Well, good luck to you ionu. If you're really cured, that is an amazing thing.
 
When I tried to donate blood I got a letter in the mail saying my blood had tested positive for hepatitis B antibodies. I totally flipped out when I initially read that, but then the letter went on to say that the virus was expunged by my body, and that I'm now apparently immune to HepB.

Approximately 90% of people who are infected with HepB never even notice it, and the immune system gets rid of it. Only 10% go on to become sick with the virus.

I have no idea how I got it. Unprotected sex is my guess

Not where I live. The medical insurance pays for it. The premiums are not expensive.

Why did Jesus let you contract Hepatitis C in the first place?

What about (as mentioned above) the people who cry out to Jesus, and aren't healed?

Based on what?

Did you not go to doctors?

Did you not receive medical treatment?

Didn't Jesus tell you that Hep C can be acute, rather than chronic? That acute Hep C can resolve without extensive treatment?

Didn't Jesus tell you that Hep C can go into total remission ("Sustained Virologic Response")? I figured that out with 5 minutes on Google.

You do realize that it is not just Christians who can have acute rather than chronic Hep C? Or an SRV to chronic Hep C, right?

The miraculous cure believers never seem to ask why god afflicted a person.
 
Hep C is a silent killer. You may have had it for decades and never even know it.

The biggest misconception among the masses is that Hep C victims are either gay or intravenous drug users. Honestly, I thought that myself.

So a lot of people feel no need to be concerned or tested.

That ignorance can get you killed.

There a zillion ways to contract Hep C. I don't care if you were a pure as Mother Teresa. If you are a baby boomer, you NEED to get tested.

I requested to be tested during my last blood draw (for another test altogether.) I'm good to go.

But I know people who weren't so lucky. They never thought they would ever have any reason to worry.

Once detected, it can be cured in 8-12 weeks. (But you'll need insurance. The medication is incredibly expensive.)

If you are a baby-boomer, get yo' self checked out.

True. I have family members who died of the disease.
 
Hep C is transferred through blood contact, 35 years ago I contracted it through a massive blood transfusion. Then it did not even have a real name, it was just called Non-A Non-B. I had it checked on a regular basis and for years the levels did not warrant treatment.

About 5 years ago it went wild, after a liver biopsy to find out the extent I went on at treatment for it, basically some one of the drugs used in cancer chemo and a cocktail of others, there was no such thing as Harvoni at that time. I had every side effect listed, I ended up having to have blood transfusions once a week because the treatment also killed the white blood cells, it messed with my mind and I have only very spotty memory of only a few things that happened for the 4 months I was on the treatment. The cure itself almost killed me a couple of times and it ended with an emergency visit to the hospital where I was told to get off the treatment right away. Never had any jaundice, and as noted there are no symptoms you have it, it's a simple blood test to check and anyone say 50 or older should do it.

I was checked at 12 weeks, 6 months and one year, scared to death with each test but all negative. One thing I learned is that alcohol is a super fuel for the virus, it loves it and multiplies at a much greater rate with it. Even though the tests have been negative I have not had a single drop of any alcohol, scared that there might be a single virus cell waiting for a drink, although my doctor said the test would show even one virus cell, I still will not chance it.

As to the cost, it was very expensive, if not for a medical grant subsidizing my regular medical insurance I would probably had to take out a mortgage. The new drug has way fewer side effects and although costly it is not as much so as the older treatment.

I initially tested positive for Hep C. And now all my tests come back negative to ever even having it. I have no Hep C antibodies in my blood. This is a very good point. It was none other than a miracle.

I believe Pamela Anderson, as well as Naomi Judd claims to have been cured of Hep C...

It wasn't God that afflicted me. It was His Son that cured me.

...unless it is a normal occurrence, that happens regardless of the religious views of the patient.

How can you prove that God didn't make you get sick?
 
Only, I had contracted jaundice (a yellowing of the skin) which is a symptom of Hep C. In fact, at the time, a person came up to me and asked me if I had Hep C on account of the jaundice. I seriously doubt that it was a false positive.

Again, jaundice is a symptom that can (and does) have many causes. I seriously doubt that "a person's" question counts as a diagnosis of Hep C. Many infections are successfully overcome by your own body's imune defenses.
