Unlike "white mans" medicine herbal remedies take much longer to show significant results so allow for just a few months is ridiculous to expect results like that! I've been living with Hep C for over 20 years, I take liver herbs, including Milk Thistle daily, I have no significant elevations or inflammation in my liver... and being co infected and taking HIV meds daily I would expect more inflammation but nope!

I have HCV for 30 years, from donating blood in developing countries when I was an overseas volunteer. I don't drink alcohol, do any drugs, try to eat well but am now A3 F3. This has increased from A1 F0 in 8 years. I am determined not to take the cure that kills the patient. Any advice on alternative methods would be valuable. Yes, I am doing Milk Thistle etc since 2 months only. In 8 years Viral load has decreased from 35 million to 1 million - so why do the Fibro and Acti tests go up?
