My visit with Dr. Zhang

[Bali05]

I went to see Dr. Zhang after reading different posts in various forums
from people who claim to have lowered and even normalized their enzymes.
While we all know that this is not a "cure" , we still prefer normal enzymes
over elveated ones in any given situation.
Dr. Zhang explained to me how you can live an almost normal life span
with the virus by keeping inflammation and anything else that is bad to the
liver at bay.
He uses herbal formulas that have been applied for hundreds of years to
millions of chinese (China has very high rates of hepatitis)

Does Dr. Zhang pass the medhelp legitamacy test ?

thank you.  I'm so dumb I was afraid to ask.  Yes, Andrew Weil, M.D., I have read a couple of his books-oops, I don't mean to give him a plug so I will not say anything positive or negative.  Since it looks pretty bleak for me in the long term I try to find out what others are trying and then go to my Hepatologist to see if it may offer some relief.
Palliative care is looming and I WONT BACK DOWN, as the song goes as long as I can sit up and read and type, no I WONT BACK DOWN.  Thanks

Thanks for positive the feedback.

Has Dr. Zhang been "approved" by medhelp ?

This is who DR Weil recommends to his hep c patients.  I saw Dr Weil a few years ago and thought about doing Dr Zhang but the cost was very high.  It involved about 20 pills a day at different times and frankly I don't live that a structured a life.  Some people swear by him others do not.  I doubt there has been any trials.

Btw, we have discussed Dr. Zhang here several times before. I don't think that anyone on the forum has seen him so far. I was in contact with him by email, before starting tx, but decided to do tx right away.

My friend's husband has been very satisfied with Dr. Zhang's protocol. He went through tx and obtained SVR, but also went to Dr. Zhang. They swear by Dr. Zhang. The person in question is a well known celebrity, who can pretty much chose whatever treatments he wants. They strongly advised me to get onto his protocol and I am still considering it, post tx.

Dr. Zhang is a Conventional Doctor and also a Dr. in TCM. He practices Modern Chinese Medicine. From what I researched on him some while ago, he is respected in the US, Japan and China for his work and has worked with Mt. Sinai NY and John Hopkins in B'more. They are interested in his approach for patients who cannot do SOC or have relapsed etc.

OK
at the risk of being accused of pitching
here are the websites

No.all types of hepatitis in China. Remember Hep C was not discovered that long ago
but it has been around for thousands of years. So chinese medicine evolved by treating symptoms thru trial and error over many many years.Treatment focus is liver health and immunity not viral eradication.

Statement from Zhang clinic:
If you want viral eradication try Interferon.
We can also help with sx on tx.

Dr. Andrew Wheill (spelling) endorsed Dr. Zhang on Larry King.

That`s all I know.
