A Real Hepatitis Remedy by Tibetan Physician,
Dr. Yeshi (C.M.O)

Do you have any Western Training?

No, we don't have Western Training. But we have also had to study
many books on Western medicine. Because these are modern times, we
now have daily practice and experience and know many Western
doctors. We read Pathological reports, X-ray reports and Blood reports.

Why did you become a doctor?

There is no question it is because I wanted to help people but it is also
because Tibetan medicine is a unique medicine and it is our history and
culture. The second reason is that in Western or Traditional medicine it
is the best profession. Even after we are retire we can still help people
as we are then even more experienced ?even more proficient.

Are all Tibetan Physicians connected to His Holiness the Dalai Lama?

All Tibetan physicians are under the Tibetan Government and His
Holiness the Dalai Lama patronage. There are some who are the
personal physicians to His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself but these are
only a few. They are more experienced and more senior. Only a few
are selected for that.

What is the success rate of Tibetan Medicine in treating all Hepatitis
infection? You had previously told me about up to 75% -- is that correct?

Yes, yes.

How does Tibetan Medicine work?

If a patient takes Tibetan Medicine, it prevents more damage to the
liver. I am talking about Hepatitis B & C. We protect the liver by
deflecting disease and we begin to actually heal the damage. The many
compounds in the preparation of Hepatitis medicine also fight the virus.
After using Tibetan Medicine for 6 months, the liver begins to function
more normally even if the virus remains.
But in the cases of Hepatitis B or C -- if we are talking about seeing the
virus go from positive to negative this happens only rarely.

Are you saying that the virus may not be eradicated completely?

After using Tibetan Medicine and adhering to the diet, the liver's normal
functioning progresses and the virus count is reduced but the virus may
still remain though it no longer does damage.

Can you say how much the virus count is reduced?

There are no guarantees. This depends on a persons general health
conditions and if he has other diseases. But if all the conditions are good
and if he follows his diet and takes his medicine regularly, the virus
count will go down about 50-65%. This is very possible using Tibetan
Medicine.

If someone has an adverse reaction to the Tibetan Herbal Medicine,
what do you suggest they do?

If you mean side effects? I would say that this was a very rare case.
Very, very rare. And I can say it happens only seldom. Using Tibetan
Herbal Medicine for Hepatitis prevents many other liver diseases and
does not let the liver worsen into cirrhosis and liver cancer. These are
some of the reasons why Tibetan Medicine is such a good tradition and
is so effective.

What if he is taking Western medicine -- for blood pressure for
example -- will it interfere?

No, no. It will not interfere. In such conditions if a patient must use
Western medicine, he can continue using it along with his Tibetan
medicine but he must keep a 1 to 2 hour difference between the two.
Then there will be no problem.

In Tibetan Traditional Medicine, the Pulse and Urine are used to make a
diagnosis. If a person is unable to visit a Tibetan doctor, can you
diagnose accurately based on the patient's Liver Function Test (LFT),
recent Blood work, along with the questions you posed?

Yes. This is easy to handle.

How long does the treatment take?

We explain to the patient that the treatment can take 6 months to 2
years of taking the medicine. We don't like to give a specific duration
because if a patient has Hepatitis B or C and after taking the Tibetan
Medicine for approximately 1 year he has greatly improved, the doctor
may say he can stop. But if the patient has had a great deal of progress,
he may still want to further the treatment for another year. Mostly
people stop because of having monetary problems.

So a patient can expect a treatment to last 6 months to 2 years -- if the
medicine is working, right? But what if someone has been taking the
medicine for only one month -- will they begin to see any improvement?

Yes. After using the Tibetan Medicine one month -- there will be definite
improvement. If he has symptoms like loss of appetite, fatigue, jaundice
and fever, he will see improvement in all these areas.
The problem is with Hepatitis B or C he may not have any outer
symptoms. He may look normal and healthy. If a patient does not have
any symptoms he will not feel different after taking Tibetan Medicine for
one month. Though the tests too will show improvement.

Do you see Traditional and Western medicine working together in the
future?

Traditional Tibetan Herbal Medicine and Western pharmaceuticals are
two different systems and work in two different ways.

If a person in the West begins treatment with you, can he call you here
in the office for advice?

Yes, of course.
