My cleaning lady, who is also a friend, just found out she has Hep C. What precautions should I take w/ her?

Just keep on doing what you're doing - I mean I take it you don't share toothbrushes? Hep C is only contracted through blood to blood contact, such as blood transfusions (or sharing toothbrushes.)


She is actually at more risk of catching various things from you because she cleans up after you not vice versa. As long as she wears rubber gloves and takes the usual hygienic precautions she'll be fine, but I expect she does that anyway.


Don't ostracize her or treat her any differently. There are millions of people with Hep C who don't know they have it - people you come into contact with everyday.

"To anyone who is reading this, who does "not" have HCV, you may feel somewhat critical, cynical and judgmental of those who suffer with this liver disease - try not to judge people who have this virus and please try to stop judging us who have HCV to be sexually permissive, drug addicts, alcoholics, or prostitutes!! Most of us are "not," and the prejudice is just an excuse to keep a negative attitude about people who are suffering with a disease. You can think what you want, but I ask you to just "try" to replace any unloving or unkind attitude with some kindness and love. You won't catch this disease by being friendly to those who have it.

No any love-affair with her! :)


It's the only what you have to do!
Reply:Hepatitis C is inflammation of the liver caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is the most common chronic, blood born infection in the U.S.





Because Hepatitis C is a viral infection, the xanthones of the Garcinia Mangostana can positivly help it.


Xanthones are a good immune system enhancer. They also detoxify the liver and boost its ability to function more effectively.


The other fact to consider is the way the in which Mangosteen juice enhances the MATRIX as a whole. Just the fact that it does is a good reason to drink the juice wheter Hepatitis C is a factor or not.





The Mangosteen Xanthones heal the gut, increase the liver function, reduce inflammation, reduce oxidative stress to the cells of the body and to the mitochondria of each cell (the power plant of each cell), and they are anti-viral!.


What else could you ask for?





It makes good sense to drink Mangosteen juice on a daily basis to keep the body strong enough to fight off the HCV and the damage it can do to the body.


The juice can do a lot to strengthen the immune system and maybe even help to heal some of the damage done by the virus to the liver.

You should avoid to come in contact with the blood of your friend. avoid cooking by her, no sex,


Tiuching and hugging cant transfer it.
