Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver (liver is the root word for liver and everything ending in “itis” means inflammation). Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the many viruses that can cause liver inflammation. Other causes include irritation of the liver by alcohol, bacterial infections, drugs and cancer. At least 75% of people infected with hepatitis C develop chronic hepatitis C, which can be progressive and fatal. Once you have it, you have to find ways to keep it under control. This disease does not disappear completely. However, my clients have had very good luck with alternative medicine treatments for hepatitis C, but working on it and follow with a good program.

About 4 million people in the United States have antibodies to HCV, meaning they have been infected with the virus at some point. Half of these people do not even know they have it. All forms of viral hepatitis are contagious.

The most common form of hepatitis C is spread through direct contact with blood is. Drug users often have this disease, as the reuse and sharing needles. Needles, and before 1992, before the blood test was made available to test for the virus, blood transfusions, organ transplants and dialysis have been the vehicle for the transfer of virus, but I’ve known people to warn others not to drink, even outside the same glass they are drinking from, which could also pass through saliva.

Birth, sex and needle stick injuries (most commonly in the nurses and the field of human medicine) are also less common causes of transmission. Sharing personal hygiene items is another form of transmission (eg, razors and nail clippers.)

Symptoms and signs of hepatitis: Eighty percent of people infected with hepatitis C have no symptoms. The symptoms can be mild and appear and disappear with the patient’s lifetime. Less often, the patient will come down with an acute case of hepatitis with full-blown symptoms.

Symptoms typically occur 5-12 weeks after exposure to the virus and can last from weeks to months and include: pain in the liver (on the right side just below the rib area), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea , fatigue, dark urine, feces or gray clay, irritability, confusion and headache (due to dehydration from chronic diarrhea). Chronic hepatitis often leads to cirrhosis of the liver. Cirrhosis is where the healthy liver tissue is taken over by scar tissue. When this happens, the liver loses its ability to detoxify the blood.

Additional symptoms at the moment include fluid retention (especially under the ribs on the belly area), jaundice (also called jaundice, a yellowing of the skin is most clearly seen in the white of the eye ), chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, itching skin, weight loss (cachexia), vomiting with blood now (so it might look like coffee grounds) and, finally, hepatic encephalopathy is characterized by hallucinations.

When the liver is sick, we see diseases like high cholesterol, high triglycerides, hemorrhoids, cancer, allergies, varicose veins and a lot of anger and resentment.

I do not know which comes first in such cases, the anger that causes the disease based on the liver or liver-based diseases resulting from anger. The good thing is we have plenty of options to overcome these challenges and that does not really matter where you start the time to start and keep at it.

My favorite treatments for hepatitis include:

1. Fruits / vegetables (especially dark green foods, vegetables, bitter, red fruit, and beets.)

2. Barfy things green (or any other green food – not really much matter what you choose.

3. Drink plenty of filtered chlorine and fluoride free water to stay hydrated.

4. Exercise, but do not overdo. Walking is wonderful – especially on a consistent schedule.

5. Homeopathic specifically to bind and excrete the virus of hepatitis (I use formulations healthcare Nosode Hepatitis drops).

6. Emotional release work (to help dislodge the emotional cysts in the liver.)

7. Herbs to support the liver, as necessary, including but not limited to: Milk Thistle (also called silymarin), burdock root, safflower, licorice, green tea, dandelion, artichoke, mushroom Cordyceps, turmeric, and peppers. Note: It is important that your body needs, but no more than you need. The body has to process everything you put into it. If there is more, the liver has to work to get it out of the system.

8. Assessment of the habits and current lifestyle suggestions to reduce intoxication.

9. The reconstruction of glandular cells with a / protomorphogen (I love Livaplex by laboratories standard process (TM))

10. The withdrawal of all products of alcohol and any drug that is processed through the liver (Tylenol, NSAIDs, some painkillers, and lots of other drugs are processed by the liver – ask your pharmacist and doctor about anything you put in your mouth!)

11. Working in relief all the anger and resentment problems in your life and the dove-tail the work of forgiveness. Anger and resentment are stored in the liver.

12. The management of liver disease associated with allergies, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, glaucoma and cancer.

13. The elimination of the metaphors of vocabulary that has to do with anger, hatred, resentment, and was angry and stubborn.

Forgiving yourself seems to be a common obstacle to overcome in these particular cases. It is very important to understand there’s a reason why he contracted the disease were taught valuable lessons, but now is the time to reach a resolution and move to a healthier way of being.

Life is a journey. The challenges we have are gifts from God. What about the challenges are our gift to him. If we focus on similarities rather than how we feel marginalized and alienated, we find that ultimately we want the same things. . . To be loved, understood and valued. I think this is what life is all about.
