The treatment for chronic hepatitis is hard because the side-effects of the drugs are rough. Because of this, some people are interested in "natural" medicine as a treatment alternative. They reason that natural treatments are easier for the body. Perhaps, but are they hard enough on the hepatitis?

I think people should consider some basic points before choosing alternative medicine for anything, not just hepatitis: Simple isn't always better; Natural isn't always safer; Relatives aren't always right; and Alternative isn't always alternative.

To find out more about these points and why people with hepatitis need to know about them, check out my new article on alternative medicine.
