Product Description
An insightful overview of the impending Hepatitis C epidemic, its causes, the most recent research, and an in-depth, detailed look at the botanical medicines that show promising results for restoring liver function. Includes formulas for using herbs to strengthen the liver and combat disease.

From the Back Cover
Herbal Medicines Offer Hope for Combating Hepatitis C More than 500 million people worldwide carry the deadly hepatitis C virus (HCV), and hepatitis C poses a public health crisis far greater that the AIDS epidemic. This deadly disease, which can go undetected for years, eventually attacks the liver, causing cirrhosis, cancer, and even liver failure. Conventional medical treatments for hepatitis C have limited effectiveness. In Herbs for Hepatitis C and the Liver, Stephen Buhner examines the most recent research on how hepatitis C affects the body. He offers important information, practical guidance, and hope. This book includes:

* Clear description of the common medical tests and treatments for hepatitis C - what they mean and how effective they are. * A guide to knowing and using the top herbal medicines that work to protect the liver and strengthen the immune system. * A protocol for cleansing and strengthening the body with a combination of diet, herbs and lifestyle changes.

"An authoritative review of herbal and other natural therapies for liver disease, equally useful for the patient or the professional medical practitioner." (Paul Bergner, Editor, Medical Herbalism)

This book is incredible. The natural remedies and diet choices along with supplement/vitamin advice is like visiting a top notch herbologist/naturopath who specializes in Hepatitis C. I own several books on the topic, but nothing compares to the wise, straighforward and warmly written text by these folks! Do yourself a favor and start feeling better soon! Buy this book today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Herbs for Hepatitis C and the Liver, April 14, 2003

By	Joanne Holbrook (Loma Rica, California United States) - See all my reviews

This is an essential book for Hep C. I have used the herbal protocol for 8 months and brought my viral load down to 69,000 and it is still dropping. Before I read this book, I had almost convinced myself that traditional treatment was the only way, even with its horrible side effects. Now, I am so glad that I found this book, contacted Dry Creek Herb Farm (referenced in the book) and started my daily herb treatments. The only side effect of the herb is that they don't taste very good, but with the results I have had they are starting to taste pretty good. The cost is very affordable also. Thank you Stephen Harrod Buhrner and Dry Creek Herb Farm.
