Hypericin and LDN for Hepatitis C

Hypericin and LDN for Hepatitis C

: Over 60 patients have been successfully treated for hepatitis C in Dr.

Bihari's practice. In a study of St. 's Wort in 15 patients with HIV in

1990, he had accidentally discovered a significant benefit to liver function in

two patients with hepatitis B (whereas there was no improvement in HIV markers).

Bihari then began to use St. 's Wort in his private practice to treat

hepatitis B and hepatitis C - patients with the former responded well, the

latter not at all. Since 1995, Dr. Bihari has been able to use a very highly

concentrated form of hypericin, the active ingredient found in St. 's Wort,

called HY2 [manufactured by Pacific Biologic in Clayton, CA; 800-869-8783] in

the treatment of people with hepatitis C. It is given along with LDN, to enhance

the immune response, and in many cases with ribavirin, an antiviral.
