People frequently ask me about what I think of alternative medicine, and especially how it relates to hepatitis. Recently I wrote about four points to consider for those interested in alternative treatments: Treating Hepatitis With Alternative Medicine.
Since these types of treatments are very popular, I wanted to get more specific and talk about some individual treatments that really don't have any solid research for support. Because of this lack of effectiveness, I think people should avoid them--at least until more studies have been completed: Four Natural Remedies That Won't Cure Hepatitis.
I know that hepatitis can be rough, and the treatment, when available, is difficult. But don't waste your money or delay conventional treatment when there's no good reason to think an alternative therapy is worthwhile. For more information on conventional treatments, check out Overview of Hepatitis Treatment.
4 natural remedies that won’t cure Hepatitis C? How about NO NATURAL REMEDY will cure Hepatitis C! GEEZ!
You have got to be employed by a big pharma company or the government. God gave us everything we could possibly need including natural cures for everything. I’ll take Gods advice before allowing anybody to suggest I take a handful of toxic chemicals and call them in the morning.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the comment. This is an area I’m interested in and love to talk about. I have absolutely no problem with “natural cures” in general. It’s just that, especially for hepatitis, the four “natural cures” I’ve listed in this article aren’t proven to work.
