Regarding the posted study, it seems preliminary but hopefully the results will be confirmed. It's unfortunate that more funds are not made available for alternative solutions like these. Certainly the drug companies aren't going to fund them. Maybe something like the Gate's Foundation will.

Just wanted to post the link, it's easier for people to access that way..

<a href="http://hepatitis-central.com/mt/archives/2006/06/clinical_tria.html">Herbal trial</a>

What you will find interesting, is that participants noticed 20% IMPROVEMENT in liver histology, verified by biopsy of liver tissue. Funny, as over and over again we hear how supplements do nothing.. Curious what those same nay sayers will comment about this trial?
