Hepatitis C Support Group

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

Anybody ever tried acupuncture to help with liver or other Hep C conditions?

Hi gkringler- no, but I have always been interested in it.... If you decide to do it, let me know how it goes, okay?
I am going to a chiropractor the end of this month to see about getting a game plan together to heal my body after this treatment. We just had one speak at work today who made a lot of sense to me. Worth a try!

My doc uses needles that come in individual paper wraps kinds like those toothpicks you can take when you leave a restaurant. One thing I did notice several embedded in the carpet..not good....keep shoes on!

@Lpbritt. I'm interested in the chiropractic thing. I've been thinking about seeing one anyway because of backaches, and feeling lopsided.
I noticed when excersizing (to a Jane Fonda for SENIORS dvd) that when I did things on one side it was different, uneven, & wasn't able to do it right.
Haven't tried or thought about acupuncture.

I saw an accupuncturist. I felt great after the sessions. But I was also interested in classical homeopathy and they're not compatible, so I chose homeopathy. Both helped my overall health and energy levels. For short periods the homeopathy even got my liver enzymes normal.

Thanks, I'll check into homeopathy.
