The Natural Nurse And Dr. Z - Lloyd Wright on Hepatitis C - 12/11/12

Host Eugene Zampieron, ND, MH, www.drznaturally.com interviews Mr. Lloyd Wright. Lloyd Wright attended UCLA for undergraduate work and continued his formal education at CalLutheranUniversity majoring in Administration of Justice.

Lloyd’s background in Natural Medicine began early in life, as his mother was “the Health Food Fanatic” of the 1950’s. Lloyd’s longstanding interest in Natural Medicine was further fueled as nearly everyone in his family has had cancer and most have died from it. Lloyd contracted Hepatitis C in 1979 from four blood transfusions and a liver biopsy in 1994 revealed Chronic Hepatitis C. After a bout with cancer and the conventional treatments Lloyd went through for his cancer therapy, Lloyd’s liver was in bad shape. The medical establishment advised Lloyd to get his papers in order and expect to live another 3 to 5 years, and hope something would come along to help. Standing up against a legion of medical doctors who insisted Interferon was the only way, he researched the disease and proved them wrong. Through extensive research, and his studies with the highly regarded Dr. John Finnegan, ND, Lloyd created a combination of herbal and glandular remedies that cured him completely of Hepatitis C. Lloyd authored the international best seller Triumph Over Hepatitis C, and discusses his new book,

Hepatitis C: A Do-It Yourself Guide for Health, on today’s show. Contact: http://www.hepatitiscfree.com
