hepatitis A is not curable because it doesn t need to be cured, it clears by immune system 100% less dangerous than a cold

hepatitis B is the same for adults, clears 98% cases and chronic only at birth/very young.

the cure is tenofovir or entecavir, not supplements, virus is stopped immediately from replicating and making damage and will clear from our own human dna/cells in 10-15years of antivirals

supplements are useless for hbv, they can only help genereal helth and liver regeneration.

kabayan, sad to hear your situation. Hep B is acquired or can be transmitted through multiple partner, meaning yung contact is hep B carrier. Nakukuha din yan sa blood transfusion pero i believe sa ospital is screened naman mga donors. Hindi ka naman sinalinan ng dugo di ba? Pwede ring case na mother or parents mo is hep B positive na di mo alam, kaya genetic, im sure ang anak meron din. Or di ka naman drug addict na kung saan gumagamit ng common needles..Di ako medical practitioner pera self-educated ako sa mga medical conditions, isa na dito ang hepatitis. Hep A is curable, but sad to say hep B and C are life long illness which i believe makocontrol lang kase i'm afraid, that illness cause by hep virus will end with cirhosis or liver failure. Just pray and do whatever you belive na mabubuhay ka ng healthy inspite of the fact that you're a hep B positive. Don't loose hope. ingatan mo lang liver mo by avoiding fatty foods, junk foods, alcohol, and do exercise and eat plenty oof vegies...that would help alternatively kung di kaya sa financial para magpagamot. pero try mo din magpaonsult sa government hospitals for liver monitoring like utrasound, liver profile. I'm praying for you all.

You have to get the tests done which I told you. Don't worry it's a very common disease and people often live long with it.

Which country are you from?
If you cannot afford anything, just get ALT and ultrasound done every six months. If you can afford, do liver fibroscan too. Avoid red meat esp beef, pork and mutton. Avoid fats, have lots of fruits and vegetables, fish, Vit e. Walk 30-40 mins daily.
