Dr. Weil's Article "Natural Help for Hepatitis"April. 1998 Issue I advised Susan to make some specific nutritional and lifestyle changes and also referred her to a practitioner of Chinese medicine in her area who I had heard was achieving impressive results in treating hepatitis with herbal remedies. "He checked my pulse and gave me a couple of bags of dirt," Susan reported after her first visit. She poured the "dirt" - actually a carefully formulated mixture of Chinese herbs - into gelcaps and took them faithfully, checking in with the practitioner every couple of weeks.
Three months into this regime, Susan had her liver-enzyme levels tested,
and they were normal for the first time in 12 years (her raised enzyme levels
had been ignored all that time by her former physician). I was happy to hear
that, six months later, in January, her retest remained normal.
That is an extremely encouraging sign, and Susan plans to stick
with her treatment program for the foreseeable future
