Good Morning!

 

Lifestyle and Herbal Suggestions for Hepatitis

 

The protocol incorporates lifestyle change, and implements healthy

diet, body cleansing, exercises and different traditional and natural

therapies.

 

Remember: There is always something that can be done! The first thing

to do is to change your mood. If you are depressed, if you are

unhappy, you can not be healthy.

 

Most people who become infected with HBV are able to clear the virus

from their bloodstream and develop immunity. People who have not

cleared their virus after six months are considered to have chronic

hepatitis B — a condition that often requires treatment to prevent

further damage to the liver. Left untreated, chronic hepatitis B can

lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer, liver

failure and death.

 

Taking a natural approach to Hepatitis means focusing on supporting

the liver and keeping the immune system healthy.

 

Reishi Mushroom has shown favorable results in treating hepatitis,

especially in cases without severe impairment of liver function

(Chang & But, 1986). In a study of 355 cases of hepatitis B treated

with Wulingdan Pill, which includes the fruiting body of Reishi,

92.4% of the patients had positive results (Van et al, 1987). Reishi

Mushroom balances the immune system - a remedy of first choice for

all auto-immune disorders, it also aids liver function and

circulation. It is a broad acting remedyand can be taken on a long-

term basis. Reishi has been classed as the highest value healing

herb in China for thousands of years. Reishi fits well into any

healing programme, as a general tonic and as an immune modulator that

tends to calm down the destructive aspects of the immune system –

often a stumbling block in the treatment of chronic health problems.

At the same time Reishi will improve immune response where it is

under functioning.

 

Milk Thistle is renowned as a liver tonic. In 1960, German

scientists identified a group of active ingredients collectively

called silymarin from Milk Thistle, mainly from the seeds. Silymarin

protects the liver by strengthening the outer membranes of liver

cells, which prevents toxins from entering the cells. Silymarin also

stimulates protein synthesis in liver cells, which helps to

regenerate and repair the liver. Silymarin compounds are also strong

antioxidants, and have been shown to reduce damage to liver cells

caused by repeated use of some prescription drugs. They may protect

liver from alcohol damage, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and pollutants.

 

 

Black Seed Oil improves liver function and associated digestive

problems. The warming and bitter qualities seem to penetrate into

blockages in the body and rapidly instigate normalisation. Black

Seed has an unprecedented strengthening effect upon the immune

system, and works in a host of other ways to promote optimum health

and well being. This remarkable herb has a legendary status and has

had a recent resurgence in Western medicine. Its efficacy is

solidly backed by three thousand years of folklore and the past fifty

years have seen a burgeoning amount of scientific data to further

support Black Seed's renowned healing properties.

 

Olive Leaf Capsules may be useful in cases of Hepatitis. Olive Leaf

works on fungal, bacterial and viral infections. A wonderful natural

remedy that has other benefits such as anti-oxidant effects and can

be helpful for the circulation.

 

The use of Sterols and Sterolins will further strengthen the immune

system and specifically Help T cell production.
