Re: Interest in Alternative Treatments - Hep/CAM Info

[Guest guest]

Hi Scarlet and everyone,

Thanks for the advertisement for the Group (Hepatitis_Children_and_CAM_Alternatives ), Scarlet! Below is an excerpt from our home page, in case you would like to know more about it. We welcome both adults and children affected by all forms of Hepatitis. We are a relatively young group (only 16 months 'young'). I've been slowly adding Clinical Research / Studies to the Group for CAM protocols helping Hepatitis, Liver Cancer and/or the Immune System during this time. I think there is probably 200+ Studies on subjects such as:

Antioxidants (Milk Thistle, Selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, etc.),

Traditional Chinese Medicine / Herbs (Oxymatrine, Artemesia, AHCC, Curcumin/Tumeric, etc.)

Nutritional (Probiotics)

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) / Opioid Antagonists

Info about Hepatitis_Children_and_CAM_Alternatives :

"Welcome! This group celebrates the beautiful gift that we have been given - life! We or our loved ones have a disease called Hepatitis. We are not 'defined' by this illness. Instead, our goal is to be 'refined' into compassionate people who seek to share healthy, hopeful, and winning remedies with others! This Group welcomes both ADULTS who have Hepatitis & those with CHILDREN with Hepatitis -- including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and/or AutoImmune Hepatitis. We mainly focus on Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) / Integrative / Functional Medicine protocols for Hepatitis using Antioxidants, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)/Herbs, Probiotics, etc. We will also discuss conventional Hepatitis treatments. This group will respect the healing journey each member has chosen, even though it may be different from the road that we have individually chosen. Each member is encouraged to share their protocol story in detail in order to authenticate its success! This includes relevant medical information, including treatment protocol, lab results before and after beginning treatment (ALT/AST, DNA viral loads, etc.), and your doctor's response to the success of your protocol. Clinical trials and medical research are also posted in the Group. We currently use the "Messages", "Links", "Files", "Database", and "Polls" features to relay information.The information on this Group is not meant to substitute for that of a medical professional. Instead, this is simply a starting point on which each group member should investigate the treatment presented, and then make sound decisions based on consultations with a medical doctor. If you or a loved one has Hepatitis, please join us on a journey of healing that we are traveling together! May Peace & Hope be our guiding companions!~~ Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is Mystery, Today is a GIFT! ~~ Eleanor Roosevelt"

May you have joy and peace on your journey of healing ~~ Joyce
