Can Herbal supplements cure the Hepatitis C?

hep-c-alternative-medicineThe answer to this question is unfortunately, NO. There is a consensus within the medical community that herbal supplements and other types of alternative medicine have still not been proven to cure the Hep C Virus.


Although supplements and alternative medicine does not offer a cure, it is good to say that some of these traditional remedies can help to alleviate some symptoms and discomfort before and during the treatment, and even can help the patients improve their immune system which is very important during the treatment period and for recovery.


Some natural products such as Milk Thistle and Curcumin are well received by some medical practitioners though no extensive study have been done yet to support the benefit for patients infected with the Hep C virus.


There are natural products that can be helpful, not only for Hep C patients, but also can be used to keep a healthy person healthy, such as probiotics. The best advice is that when possible try and get your vitamins and minerals from natural sources through a balanced diet.


There are other popular natural products that should be avoided if you are infected with the Hep C virus, such as licorice root, colloidal silver, and St John´s Wort.


Always consult your health care professional before starting any natural supplements or therapies to be safe.
