Evidence-Based Guidelines: NOT Recommended

[Guest guest]

Hi, Phil.....

 

Your timing with this article is priceless! Thank you.

Because I work in an integrative environment, I'm

constantly put on the defensive with regard to herbal

treatment.

 

I have an HCV patient whom I co-manage with a liver

specialist. She has no other treatment to offer him

except peg-Interferon, to which he has a history of

being non-responsive and suffering marked side

effects. Her response is " well, we don't know what

they do....there are no randomized controlled trials

on them " .

 

Despite two surgeries and having been on massive doses

of IV antibiotics (Unicondylar septic knee), his LFTs

have been WNL (except for one occasion)for the six

months I have treated him. They previously had never

been normal for the past 20 years.

 

Any feedback from others treating HCV?
