How do you cure a Hepatitis C ?Any herbal medicine ?


Question:


Answers:
no herbal medicine will have any affect on hep C viral loads although not drinking alcohol, eating correctly and taking vitamins might slightly slow progression of liver disease (but not slow hep c viral replication). Medical literature consistently shows no proof that any herb will slow viral replication in hep C.

If your Dr prescribes the new pegelated interferon (PegIntron or Pegasys) along with ribavirin capsules and your completely respond to treatment and go completely viral undetectable and remain so 6-24 months after completing treatment, then you are considered cured, although you still can't donate blood or organs because of the potential for hidden virus. Rate of response and treatment success rate depends on genotype of hep C, and whether you complete treatment and will range from 40 to 80% after you remove the considerable number of people who don't complete treatment because of side effects, etc.
