HR's supplements plus other anti-fibrotics

[mhudnall]

Let's try again. The following list of supplements are for those not currently on INF treatment. To be clear, no one is making the argument not to treat with INF. But if you are not on INF treatment, if you have failed treatment, if you cannot treat, or if you are waiting to treat, then these are supplements that may help your liver.


The following is a list of HR's list of supplements:

They include:

"A multi vitamin/no iron

1000 mg of Salmon Oil (epa=160 mg / dha=240 mg / omega 3 = 400 mg) x1

Life Extension Super Curcumin W/Bioperine 800Mg 60 Caps (800 mg) x 2  / Powerful Antioxidant Properties to scavenge free radicals
Anti-Inflammatory Actions
Enhances important detoxification enzymes Curcumin increases the secretion of bile by stimulating the bile duct. It also protects the liver by detoxification, stimulating the gall bladder and scavenging free radicals. With the help of the adrenal glands, it inhibits both platelet aggregation and the enzymes which induce inflammatory prostaglandins. Curcumin may also help break down fats and reduce cholesterol. Large doses not recommended in cases of acute bilious colic, obstructive jaundice, painful gallstones, and extremely toxic liver disorders



Sylmarin (425 mg) x 2 / Milk thistle provides hepatocellular protection by stabilizing hepatic cell membranes.

Green Tea Extract (300 mg) x 2 /

Colon complete complex contains:
Fiber complex (2000 mg) x2
Lactobacillus F19 probiotic (14 mg) x 2
Lactospore prebiotic (20 mg) x2

I use Smartbomb.com as a source except for the Resveratrol.

I will go with Lactulose amd Lactobacillus GG when I use up what I have."

Gauf did this regimen while and I believe before he was treating. It was his 3rd go at it and he just posted his SVR.

There is a lot of info in his journal.

Thankyou so much for the updates on supplements and the link to HR's supplements (saves me having to hunt).  I have almost convinced a 2 x relapser to join this site and will be pointing him towards your posts.  

Here in NZ they simply haven't got anything in the pipeline for him (G3A 2 x relapser, cirrhosis).  And if you can't treat, the supplements can certainly slow things down; my own battle before my second tx is testament to that.

I've just finished a 13 hour day at work (OMG - I'm starting to really feel alive!!), and can't manage to copy and paste stuff right now.  I'd be devastated if one of your postes gets deleted;  just letting you know that many people, for many reasons, DO read your postes but don't comment.     Thanks again;  prior to my eligibility to treat a second time,  I tried so many things, including Ozone, and I was really interested when you bought up "LDN" which was something I hadn't heard of before.

Pure curcumin suffers from a limited bioavailability. There are preparations that significantly improve on this shortcoming. I'm posting just to let folks know that not all curcumin is created equal. Well maybe it's all created equal - but some get's a lift in life.

20 years ago I would have added...

and I like smokin' my 'erb....

Um, gee I just wanted to mention that curcumin is the active ingredient in tumeric.
Its cheaper to just buy tumeric than getting it already capped up from lifeextensions.

I don't know what all the fuss is about.
Some people choose herbs some do not.
Myself? I like coffee :)

Let's keep this discussion to THIS forum.  Whatever happened on the other site has no bearing here.
