Can herbal cure hepatitis B virus?
Hep B most often presents with relatively mild flu-like symptoms and can be cleared by a healthy immune system, usually without major incident. To help your body kick the infection faster, there are natural treatments available. For example, short term high dose vitamin A or D or even C are anti-viral in nature. Garlic is also an excellent anti-viral (specifically allicin, so look for a supplement that’s standardized for allicin content.) In rare cases where it becomes fulminant hepatitis (fewer than 20% of cases), antiviral treatment may be necessary. In these cases, sillimarin (from milk thistle) and shissandra are two excellent options to facilitate healing and restore liver health. INF treatment is only administered for hepatitis C (which CANNOT be cleared by the human immune system and increases one’s risk for liver cancer and other potentially serious conditions significantly.) It would be really (inappropriately) aggressive to treat the average Hep B infection with INF!
