I took it before tx. It isn't going to kill the virus, in fact my alt s were higher than ever. Tx isn't easy but it's the best hope for SVR.

I have too say I have personally watched others do herbal treatments instead of TX in my area and from all my Hep/C meetings I go too. Not one of these individuals has been helped that much from herbal methods and are or considering regular TX. Ya know Im a Chef, Been to the C.I.A.school and studied the values of herbs and plants,roots,bark,fruit,grain,leggums from acidities,to anti-oxidents,fiber and all that crap my friend,( Which I have forgotten most of it since school)( And you all thought I was just a dumb-ass biker) LOL,LOL, All I do know is that the best plant base intake comes from the Medditereanean area, Weather its a plant base diet or herbal needs,Or what ever. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE OF HEP/C IS THAT ITS A BLOOD BOURNE THING!!!How ya goona kill that? I ask? Blood to Blood kinda hard to deal with? I truly hope and pray you beat the dragon, Fuck I dont even know if what I typed was any heplful or not, I kinda got lost, Anyways I hope all good things for you and your family. Love and Respects John & Anna

And here's a bad one - complaints and govt in the same article?

I can't find all too much on this product, but I can't say don't try it.

I have done a couple cleanses which got rid of some cravings I had like sugars and even caffeine. Both cleanses were from the following site:
http://www.wrc.net/wrcnet_content/dietplans/d-tox_diet_12day.htm

I have done the 12day one a couple times and let me tell you that it definitely is tough but works. I did the liver cleanse one as well, but it was pretty tame to me. The 12day one was great because I felt clean inside and totally energized.
One thing I like about the site is that every single ingredient is listed for all of their products; I like that. None of that "over 40 different absorbic acids" or something like that.

If you want to go the herbal way, please know that it's not going to get rid of the virus, but may help your liver and lower the viral load and whatever else they are supposed to do.
Get yourself a serious herbalist and maybe stop into one of those freaky healthy nutrion health food stores. You know the ones with the people working in there who know the products.
Good luck in your efforts.

I am convinced that herbs help you get ready for treatment, I went to a 3 hour seminar with doctors who are into the whole holistic approach not just the herbs. Boy did I learn alot about the body and brain and how herbs fit in. email my doctor at quickrecoveryclinic@comcast.net, Her name is Michelle Newcomer. I am convinced she can properly advise you. She is trained in the entire Endocrine system which includes the liver. I have been to so many specialists and she was the first to understand our problems. Try her, it may help prepare you going forward. I cannot due treatment because I now have brittle diabetes and it is hard to manage the glucose with liver disease. The herbs that have been prescribed to me have kept the numbers balanced for a month now. And I can finally sleep more than 3 hours at a time. I also have NASH and late fibrosis/cirrhosis. I will try only the best now. I have already tried the gimicks long ago and have learned the facts now.

I agree with tatt and heart.

Tatt, we all know that you are more than just a pretty face sitting on a bike so thank you for all your input!

Heart, I only wish I knew much more about herbs and such because I truly believe that they are of extreme benefit to all person's health.
I have done a couple cleanses and I do feel "cleaner" afterwards.
Maybe you can offer us some helpful tips on what we can do? (hint, hint)
