hepatitis C Natural Cures

Dr Berkinson, an MD and also holder of a PhD in microbiology with an advanced specialty in mushroom toxicology has prepared a protocol for treating hepatitis C. The protocol is what he calls a conservative triple antioxidant approach to the treatment of hepatitis C : Combination of lipoic acid (thioctic acid), silymarin, and selenium. This protocol to be explained in detail below, Dr Berkinson says, will protect the liver from free radical damage, increase levels of other fundamental antioxidants, and interfere with viral proliferation. I have personally read of  one hepatitis C patient who has followed this protocol and has lived symptom free for more than twenty years. The protocol has helped him to keep the virus in check.

The protocol presents the following ways of supporting the liver in the treatment of hepatitis C:-

1. Don't over use the liver.To effectively fight hepatitis C one needs to make sure that the liver is not overworked. The liver is especially overworked by alcohol consumption. If you suffering from Hepatitis C then you definitely need to stop taking alcohol. One should also avoid saturated fats that are found in red meat, margarine, processed foods and dairy products etc. Hepatitis C patients should also avoid caffeine, sugar, salt and refined carbohydrates. These only overtax the liver without helping the body nutritionally as they are nutrient deficient. Hot spices are also a no no. A hepatitis C patient should also avoid some medications such as acetaminophen found in Tylenol and other medications. This is because acetaminophen is the number one cause of liver failure.
2. Do detoxification periodically. You can do a detoxification by just eating raw vegan foods or fresh vegetable juices for a week or so to cleanse or detoxify the body. During this period the patient should only take fruit, vegetable, fresh juices, herbal teas and potassium broth. Doing this can speed recovery. You can also even go further to perform an enema to cleanse the intestines of any old fecal matter which contribute to toxins trickling back into the blood veins in the intestines.
3. Eat Liver friendly Foods to Strengthen the liver. All hepatitis patients should make sure that they always add turmeric in all meals. Turmeric should be used in stews, casseroles and vegetable dishes. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and has anticancer properties and is also liver friendly. Foods rich in chlorophyll such as wheat grass juice and others are also a must for all hepatitis C patients.
4. Take liver friendly supplements: Supplements such as vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, silymarin (an antioxidant from milk thistle), and other alpha lipoic acid have been shown in various tests to be very effective against hepatitis C. Vitamin C has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.
5. Take Some herbs : Many people living healthfully with hepatitis also recommend dandelion root, taking it as a tea or an infusion. Dandelion is great for protecting and stimulating the liver and improving bile flow. The dandelion can be taken as a coffee and make sure you use roasted dandelion root rather than the instant dandelion tea. Hepatitis C patients should also take milk thistle. Milk thistle is an excellent liver protective and regenerative herb.
6. Application Castor Oil Packs on the Liver Area. Castor oil packs should be applied to the liver area for 2 hours, three to six days a week. The application of Castor oil packs will stimulate the liver to heal. Caution is in order here, make sure that your bowels are moving at least two times a day before you use Castor oil packs as the toxins the body gets rid of need to be eliminated from the body rather than get concentrated in the colon. This same rule should apply to the detoxification process as well, as your condition may worsen if the body fails to eliminate the toxins that are eliminated by the liver and other cleansing parts of the body.
7. Take Vegetable and Fruit Juices: Take vegetable juices to nourish and heal the liver. Some herbalist recommend especially a vegetable juice that is a combination of chard, beetroot, fennel, celery, beetroot and cabbage. On fruit juices hepatitis patients should make sure that they almost always include grape juice which contains blood purifying and anti-inflammatory properties

Following the advice above you can manage to die at an old age with hepatitis C under control or in some cases some have even gotten rid of it completely.

Indigestion

I remember before I became I became a full vegan I used to experience an uncomfortable feeling of fullness and acidity in the stomach. This is what is called indigestion and the causes range from over-eating, insufficient digestive acid and food sensitivities. Sometimes the acidity which happens on an empty stomach could be caused by an inflamed stomach lining. An inflamed stomach lining could be caused by stress, gallstones and some drugs such as aspirin and some antibiotics. 

The medicinal herbal formula needed to cure indigestion is dependent on the root cause of the indigestion. Some healing herbs for indigestion are mallow, mugwort, ground ivy, meadowsweet, milk thistle horseradish, chamomile and plantains.

Medicinal Herb Remedies for Indigestion

For acidity that occurs in an empty stomach the herbs that help to cure it are mallow, chamomile, plantain and meadowsweet. These herbs can be taken as a tea for their anti-inflammatory effects.

In cases where you experience indigestion after taking food, then taking one or two teaspoons of horseradish before a meal is the best remedy. Another solution is to include horseradish herbs in the food that you take. Another solution is to take milk thistle and dandelion tincture 20 minutes before meals to assist and improve the digestion of the food that you will take later.

Dandelion coffee is also another remedy to improve digestion and enhance liver function.

Other natural remedies against Indigestion

One natural remedy is to take enough fluids throughout the day and only avoid taking fluids during and 30 minutes before and after taking food.

Doing some light exercises can also help in improving digestion by improving the muscles involved in digestion.

If none of the measures mentioned above do not work, please consult your GP or medical doctor to examine the cause of the indigestion.

Healing Yourself With Dandelion Root

Dandelion

Dandelion is one of the great cleansing herbs supporting the liver in its work of cleansing the body of unwanted elements such as excess hormones.  Other cleansing herbs are burdock root and cleaver. The name dandelion comes from french dent-de-lion, after leaves which look like a lion's teeth.

It has traditionally been used for cooling fevers and clearing boils. Dandelion can also be used to treat eye disorders, diarrhoea, fluid retention, liver problems and heartburn. While many conventional diuretics have been blamed for flushing out important minerals such as potassium from the body dandelion contains an abundance of potassium, iron, silicon, magnesium and other minerals that easily replace those lost through increased urination.

The bitter compounds in dandelion root stimulate the flow of bile to aid digestion and boost sluggish liver.Its content of vitamin choline supports the liver's work.

Heal Yourself From Parasites or Worms

Intestinal parasites

Having worms or parasites can be a very troubling but they are ways that you can use to cure or heal yourself from parasites and worms by getting rid of them using natural remedies such as garlic and charcoal slurry.

Anyone suffering from parasites should follow the following steps that have been proven to work in efficiently getting rid of parasites and worms in the body: -

• The first way is to cleanse your intestines by taking for instance Dr Schulze Intestinal Cleanse Formula 1 which has helped some to not only cleanse the intestines of fecal matter that for some has remained attached to the intestines for years but also to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the stomach and intestines.
• The patient should also take at least eight cloves of  raw Garlic  per day. The garlic will get rid of any parasites, worms and bad bacteria in the alimentary canal
• The patient should also take charcoal slurry or tablets or capsules that will help in the elimination of all the poisons in the gut. Some experts suggest taking 1 to 3 glasses of the charcoal slurry per day.
• Adoption of a high fiber diet will also help in making sure that this problem is sorted for good as your food will be easily digested and thereby leaving no room for parasites and worms to develop in the intestines.
• Dr. Richard Schulze probably the most prominent medical herbalist in the world says that a Liver Flush using his liver/gallbladder and D-Tox tinctures will kill everything that can grow in you. If you have problems with parasites and worms I would advise you to take  Dr. Schulze's five day liver/ballbladder cleanse.

The patient should continue with this treatment until the desired results are achieved.
