Taking a natural approach to Hepatitis means focusing on supporting the immune system and keeping the liver healthy.
If you or someone you know is living with a hepatitis infection, you can turn to the hepatitis-remedy website (google hepatitis-remedy) for advice on how you can navigate the day-to-day challenges of living with a liver disorder.
This website explains in everyday language the causes of this disease, and goes on to let you know about one of the best remedies available.
@blueeyebabygirl Thank you so much for your kind words. I have so much support here and could not imagine that I would inspire and give so much hope. As well "may God heal you and bless you means a lot to me and may God heal you and bless you as well.
thanks! my uses standard process brand and gave me whole food vitamins but no herbs...my hepetologist says not to take them because she is unsure of tge reaction with the boceprivier. this is frustrating for me because my appitite is no were what it used to be and i feel im not getting enough support from my current diet.
@bradleysmama22 Just checking in with those that supported me during treatment and hoping that your doing okay and your road has not been too bumpy. It does end but WHEW!!!!!! And it is worth it!
I thought i left a comment before but im not sure it worked...i am currently in a 48weeker and also chose tge new victrelis. im working with a holistic doc as well but my hepotologist does not want me to take any whole food suppliments while using the new drug. do you have an opinion about this? did you take vitamins while on treatment? thank you for being a positive example for me! I pray you have a clear 6mnth appointment and freedom:) love, Ashley
@bradleysmama22 Hi Ashley. Yes I got your first message but took a family vacation to the mountains and getting caught up with work has been exhausting. I used New Chapter supplements throughout my treatment. You may use these and they are a whole food organic supplement. My doctor encouraged me to take a multi vitamin. I did not take my herbs such as turmeric and holy basil but at times I just could not swallow anymore "Pills" and I could sure tell when I was not supporting my body.
I have been chosen for the new treatment with the added drugs.This is still only available in clinical trials in Australia atm,cos our govt. takes a very long time to approve drugs!I have genotypes 1a and 1b so am looking at 48wks trtmnt. I have to wait another 12mths so I'm getting my other medical problems sorted in the meantime.I've had this virus approx 35yrs and liver is level2 50% fibrosed.I just want it out body.I've lost lots of friends 2 liver cancer....involved inRnRoll!Wish u luck!
@gleegirloz I always go to the site of the person that post and I must tell you I was delighted with your spirit and character. Congratulations for being chosen. My doctor told me I will have a full recovery and since we have no cirrhosis you will as well. Having somebody in our lives that passed will keep you reminded when you have difficult days why you will endure. Please keep me posted and all the best to you as you move into this cure.
@anaisabel365 Hi and thanks but I do have cirrhosis/fibrosis.Even so my hepatologist has given me an 80+% chance of success whereas I only had a 40% chance with the old treatment.Looking forward to getting to the end of it and throwing a party!:))
@gleegirloz i just got diagnosed . iv had it 40 years .i dont know what shape my liver is in . now im on a homeopathic cure . it is lycodium,an extract of clubfoot moss . i started in the afternoon about ten days ago. the next morning i opened my eyes and right away noticed that i was 100%awake in about two seconds . this after drunken heavy sleeps . my energy is up higher and im sharper mentally .all is good so far i will stya on this for a year and then see how things are . .
@gleegirloz this lycodium can be found at health stores that carry homeopath remedies . its cheapand easy to use . put three drops in a bottle of water and sip it all day . retop the bottle two or three times a day . i love it .
I find your journey truly inspirational. Without getting too specific I am involved with Hepatitis C and it's wonderful to hear of your recent successes. Hopefully other will follow in getting treatment and getting cured. Hep C is a silent killer. It attacks your liver everyday without you feeling anything until, sometimes, it's too late. I am praying for you to stay undetectable and achieve a cure. Good luck
I just found out I have hep C im scared. I hate needles. I go to the Dr. in 2 days to learn more. I wonder how the heck I got this hep C. Wish me luck.
@roostertj I truly feel heartbroken every time that I hear of this virus invading another precious body. Things are better than ever these days for a cure and lots of research is working towards more effective and gentler treatments. Hep C really can be a slow moving virus and I do not know your story of course but you have options. I send you peace of mind and a bit of luck does not hurt.
I must believe that all of this is worth it. At this time I am undetectable and I have 11 weeks to complete my treatment. Treatment has been doable....not easy but definitely doable
Hi there! Im 35 yrs old and have had Hep c since 26. I am really considering treatment bc of my 41/2 yr old son... I want to live, to see him grow up. I am scared bc of all the horror stories especially the loosing my hair part (i know it sounds vain). I know i have genotype 1a. Im not quite sure how to even get started with treatment. Maybe u could help with any suggestions. I am watching your videos and u have already inspired me. I have kept this secret from so many ppl, I wany freedom too!
@prplbtrfly1 hope you find the direction and peace of mind to do what is right for you. I just want to tell you that the longer I lived with this virus the more it took a piece of me. Although I spent many years trying to live in a way that did not host this virus..OH the discipline..i have to say that now I am so glad to be in treatment and putting an end to this nightmare. Yes there are side effects but with the shorter treatment course it is worth investigating.
@prplbtrfly1 I cleared the virus at 8 weeks and now I must finish out 18 more weeks. Today is a "unwell day" and I will be on the couch most of the day but for two days I worked full days, cooked dinner, ran errands. I have not lost any hair and I am in week 12. Find a good gastro doctor....one that is kind and cares about you. If you do not feel that go to another. If you can, find somebody in treatment or my friend Peggy and can help but support from those who truly understand will help.
ANA ISABEL: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO MY COMMENT ABOUT YOUR VIDEO BLOG...TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I WILL PROBABLY START TAKING (PEGASY'S) PEGINTERFON ALFA -ZA FOR INJECTION AND(COPEGUS) RIBAVIRIN 200 MGS, MY DOCTOR HAS GIVEN ME READING MATERIAL FOR THIS 2 DRUGS...IN MY NEXT APPOINTMENT SHE WANTS ME TO HAVE A QUESTIONS THAT I MAY HAVE....ONCE WE BOTH ARE IN THE SAME PAGE,THAN MY TREATMENT WILL START...YOUR BLOG ITS MAKING MY JOURNEY A LOT EASIER....THANK YOU....SO MUCH....XXOO
@KARTONVERDE You are going for a cure....a complete cure from these terrible virus. Never forget that these medication have only one purpose and that is to cure you and then we will be free. The side effects can be managed and they do pass. Be excited, be strong and be happy that this opportunity is here. Most of all, have support of friends, even they will not always understand . I will help you and perhaps you will can help me. Let me know your start date and I will keep you in my heart.
HI ANA...THIS IS CARLOS, AND I ALSO HAVE HC....IM IN TALKS WITH MY DOCTOR ABOUT WHEN TOGO ON THE TREATMENT.....BUT IM SO HAPPY THAT I FOUND YOUR BLOG....YOU SEEM SO NICE AND FULL OF POSITIVE ENERGY..AND INFORMATION....I HOPE YOU DO GREAT....AND TODAY 8/02/2011 I WILL BE WATCHING YOUR FIRST VIDEO....XXXOOO
@KARTONVERDE Hi Carlos. Thank you so much for contacting me. I am always happy to hear from others facing or going through the same thing. I begin 9 weeks tomorrow and although at times this can be difficult there are times it is okay. All of this is better than living with hep c. I have lived too long with this and I want to be free. i tried many ways to cure without treatment so i am happy with my decision to hopefully be cured. What treatment will you be doing? ALL THE BEST TO YOU
I will be starting my treatment this week, My geno type is 1 and I failed the first treatment due to severe side effects. Thank you for this video I will be looking forward to your updates, hope I can cope, and hope that you continue with your great attitude .
@fmc1724 I wish you success with your treatment. What "protocol" will you be using. I will assume one of the new ones which should cut your treatment time in half. Many before us have faced 48 weeks or longer.....we can do this. I have just started my 8th week and still can have days that are quite doable. I have a long ways to go and must pass my next lab in order to continue. I will keep you in my thoughts....let me know if you need some support. I still have a ways to go.
@GypsySue313 Thanks for contacting me. I live in Texas but we can still support each other. This is a big deal and I am glad to watch people come forward.
@DINOBRAV69 I fear and feared the treatment for years but the yearly lab work and living with this virus day in and day out began to take its toll. Our options are getting better all time....apparently easier cures are on the horizon within the next 2 to 3 years. I know your story so well and it always touches my heart when we connect.
I started last night, the hardest thing I've ever done was to push that poison into my body, first treatment not to terribly bad...lots of back and joint pain..very tired, Im have geno3a and will receive 24 weeks od meds. 4ml peginterferon and 1000 ribivirin........Im keeping tabs on you Ana, good luck, I think we will need it..
@mrswidby Good luck to you...yes you are right we need a little luck. As a 3a I believe you are an easy cure. Yes I agree there is nothing about plunging interferon and beginning treatment that has ease. It has been difficult at times and okay more so. The new protocol is in full swing in my body.....lets us all be cured.

I have understood this treatment from three views, 2 other women currently in treatment, and myself. We have learned many "tricks" to managing side effects. Some are personal and some are across the board. I'll have us do re-caps in this as we learn more and more. I am in my 5th week and the boceprivir was just "introduced this morning. It's is time for another video blog...I have crossed many things and I am okay.....most of the time....managing side-effects is key
I too have been approaching this more holistically with Nutrition and lifestyle since being diagnosed in Dec of 2003. I keep putting off standard treatment due to fear of lasting side effects. But I am now considering beginning Triple Combo starting in Sept. 2011. I've been quite ill these last 8 years, and feel that I will not handle the drugs well. And CAN'T imagine feeling worse than I do now.
