Guest guest Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 The Life Extension Foundation has a good protocol for this. Ribavirin is very helpful. Due to overt corruption in our government, the FDA has declared Ribavirin will never be approved for this indication, but since it is available any doc can Rx it for anything they want. They just have to know to do it. It is also widely available abroad. Many people with chronic active hepatitis C require intravenous vitamin C once or twice a week for several months to clear it. We have discussed assorted antiviral supplements on list earlier. If anyone wants more information than they can find at www.lef.org, contact me privately. Andy . . .. . . . . .

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 : Hi Vicky, My son has Haemophilia and his treatment with blood products made him prone to blood borne viruses such as HIV and Hepatitis. Fortunately he now uses recombinant Factor VIII. I remember that many boys contracted HCV a few years ago and most are now asymptomatic after treatment with iv Interferon. In England you would need to see you doctor and get a referral to a haematologist. HCV is a potentially life threatening virus and should not be ignored. Best wishes, Terry Fitton, Birmingham. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi KerryAnn, Your friend may want to consider taking silymarin (milk thistle weed), it is an excellent herb for cleansing and supporting the liver and has been very successful in treating Hepatitis C. http://www.mdidea.com/products/herbextract/silymarin/data.html. My naturopath said it is also excellent for the regulation of blood sugar. Another common use is to promote lactation in breastfeeding women. Please note that while rare, large doses can actually cause a person to lactate. I only mention this in case it happens to your friend, as it could be quite worrying. I would also advise they look for a high quality supplement, pharmaceutical grade if possible. I don't know where you live, but I am sure a local health food/supplements store could advise your friend. I have some books that I am happy to consult if you would like more info etc... Please feel free to e-mail me directly if you like. Best wishes for your friend - Cheers la Hepatitis C Does anyone know about nutritional supports or treatments for Hepatitis C? I introduced lacto-fermented foods to them today and sent them home with enough sauerkraut to get them through until theirs is ready. They will be removing soy from their diet as well. They already make bone broths and eat organ meats, grass-fed meats and free-range eggs, eat very little sweetener, and little processed food. What else would be a good nutritional support or supplements specific for Hepatitis C?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I don't know if it's nutritional per se, but Milk Thistle Seed Extract is widely touted as being able to rebuild damaged liver cells; which seems like it would be very helpful in the case of hepatitis. I believe betaine from beets is also supposed to be helpful in liver cleansing or something. Another one is dandelion, and there's a book " Dandelion Medicine " which is more just dandelion lore and recipes but very interesting. My PA Dutch friends still pick dandelion greens to eat before they bloom as a spring treat. My mother in law had hepatitis that she got from a blood transfusion long ago. Over time she lost the ability to digest fat, which her family (two of them doctors) misunderstood as her becoming anorexic. Fats made her sick. Looking back, I believe she would have greatly benefitted from raw coconut oil, which I didn't know about at the time. Probably raw milk as well but she didn't think she could drink milk. > > Does anyone know about nutritional supports or treatments for Hepatitis C? > I introduced lacto-fermented foods to them today and sent them home with > enough sauerkraut to get them through until theirs is ready.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Kerry Ann have you learned anything more to aid in this? I am wondering if a person can be healed of it or not through dietary changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am > wondering if a person can be healed of it or not through dietary > changes. , I gathered the information and passed it onto the person who was asking. I haven't followed up yet. My understanding is that once you have it, you have it, and most of the suggestions I received were for the acute phase of it. I just haven't had any more time to invest in it to get more information.
