Pamela
Anderson's Hepatitis No Longer a Problem
4/27/08
Pamela Anderson is making strong progress in her battle against
Hepatitis C - her doctor has declared her fitter and healthier at 40 than
she's ever been in her life.
In 2003, Anderson claimed she was not expected to live for more than 10
or 15 years after contracting the disease from ex-husband Tommy Lee - but
last October (07) the former Baywatch star announced her determination to
defy all odds and cure the virus completely.
And now the actress is in the best health of her life, she is convinced
she has finally managed to stave off the illness.
Speaking to U.S. TV host Larry King on Friday (25Apr08), Anderson says,
"I'm doing really good. Actually, I just went to my doctor, Dr
Huizenga. He took all my blood work and went through all my tests. And I
hadn't really been to him in a year-and-a-half. And he said he's never
seen me healthier.
"That, he said, it's a miracle. You know, I don't really work out
a lot. I walk and play sports with my kids. But he says, 'You're in the
best shape I've ever seen you in. You're 40 years old and your liver is in
great shape, all your blood work came back really well, low
cholesterol.'"
Anderson went on to credit her all-natural lifestyle for her good
health:
"I'm... treating it homeopathically... But I'm doing really what
he (the doctor) told me... He thinks that me being vegetarian really helps
me staying in such good shape."
