Hepatitus / Liver

Hepatitis can remain dormant in the body for up to 30 years so by the time symptoms appear the liver may already be damaged beyond repair. Hepatitis C leads to more liver transplants than any other disease. Protect your liver by using a natural food diet and eliminating chemicals such as caffeine, alcohol, acetaminophen, and others which hasten the destruction of the liver. Drink plenty of water and try to keep the saliva pH in the range of 6.8-7.4. The following remedies have been shown to rebuild and protect the liver.

One capsule contains 250 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid. Studies have shown that 200 mgs daily can help reduce the kidney and nerve damage often seen in diabetes. It has also been shown useful in high blood pressure and heart support in combination with CoQ10 and L-carnitine. It also helps the body to increase its levels of glutathione and is essential in the production of energy at a cellular level. Because it raises glutathione levels, it is good for liver detoxification. For serious liver problems, the dose is usually 200 mg three times a day.

SELENIUM By Now Foods - 90 Capsules
$7.95
Each capsule contains 200 mcg selenium. Selenium has been shown to decrease the replication of the hepatitis C virus and is a powerful antioxidant. Two a day is the usual amount that is taken.

MSM - 1500 mg, By Now Foods - 100 tablets
$15.99
Each tablet contains 1500 mg MSM in fast acting disintegration technology. This natural form of organic sulfur is used in the body to assimilate methionine and cysteine and helps build new cells. New cells are what the liver needs. The usual amount taken is 2 to 4 tablets a day in divided doses. Since this is biological sulfur, it will combine with metals in the blood and then be flushed out of the body. I increased the MSM to 6000 a day when I was detoxing from aluminum.
