Natural remedies that prevent Hepatitis infection

To add on to the previous post, here are some other natural remedies that can help prevent Hepatitis in general. Basically, taking a natural approach to Hepatitis means focusing on supporting the liver and keeping the immune system healthy.

1)      Reishi Mushroom has shown favorable results in treating hepatitis, especially in cases without severe impairment of liver. In a study of 355 cases of Hepatitis B treated with Wulingdan Pill, which includes the fruiting body of Reishi, 92.4% of the patients had positive results.

Basically, the Reishi Mushroom:

-Balances the immune system and aids liver function and circulation.
-Is a broad acting remedy and can be taken on a long-term basis.
-Has been classed as the highest value healing herb in China for thousands of years.

2)      Milk Thistle is renowned as a liver tonic that protects the liver from Hepatitis, alcohol damage, cirrhosis, and pollutants. In 1960, German scientists identified a group of active ingredients collectively called silymarin from Milk Thistle, mainly from the seeds.

Silymarin protects the liver by:

-Strengthening the outer membranes of liver cells, which prevent toxins from entering the cells.
-Stimulating protein synthesis in liver cells, which helps to regenerate and repair the liver.

Silymarin compounds are also strong antioxidants, and have been shown to reduce damage to liver cells caused by repeated use of some prescription drugs.

3)      Black Seed Oil improves liver function and associated digestive problems. The warming and bitter qualities seem to penetrate into blockages in the body and rapidly instigate normalisation. Black Seed has a strengthening effect on the immune system, and works in a host of other ways to promote optimum health and well being. This remarkable herb has a legendary status and has had a recent resurgence in Western medicine.

4)      Liquorice is used in Japan to treat chronic Hepatitis B. Glycyrrhizin interferes with Hepatitis B surface antigen and is synergistic with interferon against Hepatitis A virus. It is also used at times to treat Hepatitis C.

Researchers have also demonstrated that liquorice helps protect the liver from damage due to chemotherapy. At low doses, the herb stimulates the liver to manufacture cholesterol and excrete it in bile. This can help lower serum cholesterol levels.

5)      Colloidal Silver and Olive Leaf Capsules may be useful in cases of Hepatitis.

 On-going research may eventually restore Colloidal Silver to its once accepted status as probably the most versatile and effective natural agent against bacteria. It has a hugely important bonus in that bacteria find it almost impossible to develop resistance to it.

 Olive Leaf works on fungal, bacterial and viral infections. It also has other benefits such as anti-oxidant effects and can be helpful for the circulation.

6)      Zell Oxygen will strengthen the immune system by re-establishing healthy cellular mitocondria and in turn health cellular respiration and metabolism. By using Zell Oxygen in combination with one or more of the natural antiseptics such, a more rapid, through and permanent elimination of pathological micro-organisms will result.

7)      The use of Sterols and Sterolins will further strengthen the immune system and specifically Help T cell production.

In conclusion, most of the showcased food items only prevent Hepatitis infection instead of curing it. However, we should not only start taking care of ourselves when we fall ill. Rather, we should start at a young age. After all, prevention is better then cure!
