1. New Interview with Dr. Zhang on Hepatitis C and Chinese Medicine

According to Dr. Zhang, Modern Chinese Medicine's main assets are, "liver
protective therapies to control liver inflammation to slow down and halt liver
fibrosis. Anti-fibrosis therapy, in some cases, can actually reverse fibrosis
and restore liver structure and functions. MCM can help manage and maintain
normal to near normal life quality and life expectancy of hepatitis C patients."

2. Some healthy diet tips for those with Hepatitis C:

1. No alcohol consumption, even moderately, as it has a toxic effect on liver
cells and makes you more prone to liver cancer according to studies.
2. I suggest organic produce, whether store bought or homegrown, as this reduces
the chemicals that an already stressed HCV liver will need to process.
3. A well nourished body will fight Hepatitis C best. A diet rich in calories
and nutrients on a daily basis is critical as is healthy exercise to keep your
body functioning well.
4. Adequate protein is necessary to help the body repair damaged liver tissue
and everyday needs such as production of new blood cells. More on types of
protein below.
5. Eat at least 5 servings a day of fruits and vegetables as they provide
important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Soy products, dried beans, and
certain herbs and spices also contain abundant phytochemicals which behave like
powerful antioxidants "gobbling up" the destructive free radicals.
6. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice into a glass of water at least once a day.
Staying hydrated is important to flushing out toxins and the lemon juice is a
natural liver detoxifyer. Lemon juice also provides vitamin C an important
precursor to Glutathione.

3. New Interview with Dr. Palmer on Hepatitis C Treatment

Dr. Melissa Palmer is a conventional medicine doctor who's "so-called claim to
fame was that I was among the first physicians to notice that weight reduction,
healthy diet and exercise may actually reverse damage done to the liver by fat."
Dr. Palmer's message to those with hepatitis C, "New therapies ( protease and
polymerase inhibitors) should be approved by the first quarter of 2011- that
have an improved chance of cure even in those with genotype 1- the hardest
strain to cure."

4. Choosing Not to Treat Hepatitis C
"The decision to undergo treatment is a complicated one, and what worked for me
might not work for others. I explore the other path—making the choice to not
treat. I recommend ways to support your liver and general health. This advice
applies to nearly everyone, but particularly those with liver disease."

5. Choosing to Treat with Conventional Medicine

After reading this article, I would ask for Pegetron if getting conventional
treatment!
Largest comparative hepatitis C study confirms treatment effectiveness and lower
relapse rate for Pegetron(R) patients.
