There are herbs such as Milk Thistle, Believe it or not Dandelion has had great personal results , it is one of the best Antioxidants out there, Just for the picking.

The average Doctor knows very little about hepatitis ! And when you consult a Gastro ask how many hepatitis patients he or she has treated ! This is the most Important course of action ! because of the lack of Doctors that have the actual treatment information.

RIBAVIRIN - COPEGUS seem to be the worst of the treatment !

Remember There are also different drugs used with ribavirin, Ribavarin was originally designed for Cancer but was not effective!
The pills make most weak and tired or in some cases cause mania, all and all, Although I will say there are days when you will feel like crap ! they arnt as bad as the disease is ! I will give final results after treatment. Many people are giving some other medication, to help with side effects. I myself just could not handle Psych meds, They made my mind out of control. More

MENTAL SIDE EFFECTS - CAN BE ROUGH. MOST PEOPLE END UP ON PSYCHE MEDS. BECAUSE OF MEDICATION. BUT IN THE LONG RUN IT IS WORTH IT.

Probably the worst !
Side effect .experienced was SLEEP deprivation, Loss of weight and Irritability. Minor fever or Cold sweats I myself just could not handle Psych meds, They made my mind out of control. I stress if possible stay away from any Psych meds that will not help with mania and nerves. Unless your doctor or psych says to stay on them. Regular meds they like to prescribe really crashed with my thinking, Allowed many panic attacks. they can be frightening because even with a strong mind there was no way to control it mentally. but they are some things you get to tolerate after a while. Unfortunately. There are others you can do a search on. It is also extremely important to have Blood test to determine if your Blood Cell count is not LOW or High. In this case it is procrit that is being used to bring blood cell count back up. To acceptable levels. After about 1 month of sleep medication ( Seraquil) the side effects seemed to lesson. This could be from getting a normal amount of sleep. Ask a Professional about your options.

PHYSICAL SIDE EFFECTS OF TREATMENT -WHAT TO EXPECT. THESE EFFECTS WILL NOT BE FELT by everybody but are common.

The Physical side effects can be different, Every person has had some serious reactions to the Medications. I will outline the whole treatment process and give the worst of the 7 cases I am monitoring .The first symptom you will encounter Immediately after you start. 1) fever ,Flu like feeling Temperature averaged high for the first couple of weeks. After a while they are not so frequent (2) Fatigue ,It can be a real kicker, some days you wont want to move. The legs are sore and walking can be tiring and painful. (3) Sleep deprivation is common " Ribavirine " Makes it difficult to sleep good. I personally take seraquil it works good. I just do not like the fact it is considered a Psychiatric drug. (4) Another problem is the blood count goes crazy, I also after about 3 months , Needed a shot of Procrit to raise my red blood cells twice to four times a month. (5) Weight loss is reported in just about every case. Me I lost 45 pounds in 5 months. Went back to my original regiment and have been gaining weight back. After going from 170 lbs to 126lbs in 3 months of treatment. Eating was a big problem You must eat, The thought of eating for most is later or just skip it, But you must try to maintain your weight be cause the medication runs most bodies down. This takes real willpower in my case I now, for the last month started with my out lined regiment. A few changes made the response so much more effective back on Dandelion three times a day. But I only take 550mg 3 times a day 200mg milk thistle 1 time a day. Most importantly exercise water power aide or Gatorade 2 bottles a day 1 in morning to hydrate after a night with no water. Be proactive and better equip your Liver for new health. I have seen it in lots of cases, total rejuvenation. I am trying to get in touch with company that makes my power drink to get some breakdown on It. Why every other weight gainer sucked. This works well and does not seem to change my blood test except in a positive direction. I am using water vitamins, any drink with Electrolytes. read the regiment page and give it a try you'll feel almost normal the REGIMENT has answers but if you have no motivation this isn't for you !
