Is possible with a good diet to stop the progression?!

Hello everyone,
I have been diagnosed with hep C almost 6 month ago during a common blood test. After I have seeing a doctor he suggested me to wait (refering him the desease was in moderate stages) and to make regular blood tests every 6 months. I did some of those test yesterday and it came out these results

ALT (SGPT)                43.8              U/L
AST(SGOT)                39.4            U/L
Direct Billurbin             0.28          mg/dL
Indirect Bilurbin           0.44            mg/dL
Total bilurbin               0.72          mg/dL

Serum protein electrophresis
Fraction                                 %                
Albumin                                 56
Alpha 1                                  3.9
Alpha 2                                  8.9
Beta1                                     7.2
Beta2                                     6.4
Gamma                                 17.6

About 5 months ago I had these Results
ALT (SGPT)                56.8            U/L
AST(SGOT)                38.4            U/L
Direct Bilurbin             0.354          mg/dL
Indirect Bilurbin           0.61            mg/dL
Total bilurbin               0.962          mg/dL

Serum protein electrophresis
Fraction                                 %                
Albumin                                55.1
Alpha 1                                  4
Alpha 2                                10.9
Beta                                      9.7
Gamma                                20.3

I also made a elastography test and before 5 months the max value was 7kPa now the max value is 6.5kPa and was not an enlarge liver like use to be months ago. During all this time I have been very careful with food eating only beans, cabbages, spinach, black rice, carrots a lot of kiwi, apples, home made cottage cheese, green tea, green salads, a lot of olive oil extra virgin homemade one,  etc. Alcohol stopped, even smell it.
My question is that, Is it possible that through a good diet you might slow the progress of liver damages from Hep C virus?!

Hi Kity,
It's not something that I found on the Internet.  The best way for you to confirm that fact - is to ask your doctor.

Thank you for your reply. Yes it is phase 0-1. When I discover that I do have the Hep C it was devastating. I was shocked. I was feeling pain on my muscles legs and I was feeling very unpowered. so very depress like I was living the last days. I met doctor here and they told me that I must start the theraphy asap. After that I have decided to go in Italy where i meet one of the best doctors. I was lucky. After the examination of the blood test he told me that the desease was in a moderate stage and it was on my hand if I wanted to start treatment. Than I asked him based on his experience because by that time I was so decided to go through tx. He told me to wait a couple of years, meanwhile new treatments are on the way. So I decided to wait. By the way I have gen 1B.

Hi,
This site is the best for me. I discovered to have this disease in the middle of december 2012 by a routine blood test. I think I got it to the dentist and the damage coused up now to the liver I think are caused by the way I used to eat. I ate 2 times per day, morning and in the late afternoon and usually dry food, meat, fried patatos etc and all this time maybe I can have a macchiato and some water and all day long working.
Regards

Hi Happy!  Do you have any information on where you read that it takes 4 months to filter 1 alcoholic drink? I've searched and can't find that specific info. Let me know, thanks!  Kitty

i have elevated iron levels -hemocrymotosis-meaning i will have to have iron stores removed before any treatment but there's studies showing ppl. w/ this usually don respond well to interferon treatment.
i hope biopsy shows little damage-whats has yr biopsy showed or are you scheduled for one yet?
i have heard to eat organic foods,drink half yr body of distilled ,not tap water if possible any more hints you are willing to share with me would be greatly appreciated
how long do you think you've had hcv and what genotype are you?
i keep reminding myself that everything we eat or drink has to be filtered by this most important organ.i didnt know it took 4 months for liver to breakdown one drink,this site is so helpful with me and this most serious disease,but seriously  feel free to email me any hints-thank u
