SOMETHING INTERESTING ALSO

I also found this text:

In one remarkable study, patients with hepatitis C were given seven oral antioxidants, glycyrrhizin (500 mg twice daily), schisandra (500 mg three times daily), silymarin (250 mg three times daily), ascorbate (2 g three times daily), lipoic acid (150 mg twice daily), L-glutathione (150 mg twice daily), and alpha-tocopherol (800 IU daily) for 20 weeks. Four different intravenous antioxidant preparations, including glycyrrhizin (120 mg), ascorbic acid (10 g), L-glutathione (750 mg), and B-complex (1 mL; composition not specified), were also administered twice weekly for the first 10 weeks. No significant side effects were observed. Normalization of liver enzymes, which indicated reduced liver injury, occurred in 44 percent of patients. One-fourth of the patients showed viral load decreases of 90 percent or more. Histologic improvement was noted in 36 percent of patients (Melhem A et al 2005).

Although those are herbs that have shown success, as long as you have the Hep C virus in your blood with any viral load level, your liver will respond by being in a constant state of inflammation.  When the liver is inflammed, liver cells begin to die which leads to scarring.  It is the scarring that ultimately leads some to cirrhosis.  And, there are some who have scarring leading to cirrhosis who show only slightly or do not show elevated liver enzymes at all when their blood is tested.  All those herbs can't hurt unless they are used in PLACE of treatment.  While waiting for treatment, this sounds like a good protocol, but ultimately, only treatment has the ability to  completely eradicate the virus and get us back to the good health we are seeking.
