Hepatitis C is running an enormous epidemic.hepatitis treatment
And hepatitis treatment is very expensive with big Pharma.
It can sometimes cost thousands of dollars a MONTH!
It’s not clear exactly what causes hepatitis C, but can hepatitis be cured?
The medical community likes to think it’s a virus.
There is a virus that is often present, but it seems to be more the inflammation in the liver that causes the problems.
And it doesn’t seem possible to get rid of the virus at all.
The whole thing is an expensive medical mystery that doesn’t appear anywhere near being solved.
Hepatitis treatment may not ever be figured out fully.
But research for a hepatitis cure focuses on fighting a virus we’re not sure is the problem.
I would not be surprised if hepatitis C is not actually caused by the virus, but who really knows.
But there are things that we do know that can help for now.
We do know that there are some methods of treating hepatitis C that work very well.
You might want to consider using these if you have the potential to be exposed to hepatitis C.
[cmamad id=”4582″ align=”center” tabid=”display-desktop” mobid=”display-desktop” stg=””]
If you’re traveling to certain places, you increase your chances of exposure.
You also increase your chances if you’re exposed to a lot of food and restaurants — particularly low-end restaurants.
The Centers for Disease Control says that 2.7 to 3.9 million people in the United States have chronic hepatitis C.
And perhaps 75% to 85% of people who get it end up with a chronic infection.
The current theory is that hepatitis C is spread through infected blood.
But I would also be very suspect of this.
There is surprisingly little proof of any of this.
It does seem that it can be spread through sexual contact, and even through sharing toothbrushes and razor blades.
But again, surprisingly little is known about hepatitis C.
Part of what we think we know about hepatitis C is based on what we have been able to learn about hepatitis B.
So, what do we know about hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is also spread through blood, but it can be spread just as easily through semen as well.
While we “think” that hepatitis C is caused by a virus, we’re certain that hepatitis B is viral.
It can cause lifelong chronic illness.
There is supposedly a vaccination that is effective against hepatitis B.
But I don’t have information on that today.
What I do have information on today is a couple of things that might be effective to help you avoid being infected by EITHER form of hepatitis!
This could be important information if you’re traveling or if you think that you’re more susceptible to getting hepatitis B or C.
So this is one study out of many that show aspirin should be in your hepatitis prevention arsenal.
Fairly low levels of aspirin can actually PREVENT hepatitis C.
Low levels can also treat it and may be able to get rid of hepatitis C at its early stages.
Aspirin may be beneficial in the earlier stages of infection or as a prophylactic approach.
And many other studies also show how aspirin may prevent hepatitis C.
They also show how it may be equally, or even more effective, than any of the expensive drugs on the market:
We found that aspirin had a suppressive effect on hepatitis C virus RNA and protein levels (nearly 58%).
As hepatitis treatments go, aspirin is pretty wonderful!
And besides aspirin, niacinamide has been shown to have some great promise.
If you’re from outside the US, you’ll call it nicotinamide, but it’s the same as the niacinamide in the US.
Nicotinamide uses include having been shown to be effective against hepatitis B!
Therefore, nicotinamide suppresses hepatitis B virus replication. This study highlights the potential application of nicotinamide in HBV therapy.
Niacinamide/Nicotinamide is the same compound as vitamin B3.
It’s a form of vitamin B3 that does not produce a flushing when you take it.
The dosages here are fairly small like the doses for aspirin.
But like aspirin, nicotinamide benefits both the prevention and early treatment of hepatitis.
It may be enough to take just 100 mg a day of either aspirin or niacinamide.
Both of these treatments for hepatitis B & C are inexpensive and have a long history of safety.
Neither of these is likely to be prescribed to you by your doctor though since Big Pharma has expensive drugs to push.
Can hepatitis be cured?
I don’t know. But I do know that we can fight them with simple aspirin and vitamin B3.
So, while I hope you never get them, you now know how to fight hepatitis B & C without prescriptions for dangerous medications.
And if you’re in a place where you think you might be exposed, you know that you have at least one tool that may help prevent hepatitis.
