I would like more info on all of the doses of EVCO, salvia, ligustrum and so on. I hate living with Hep B and have remained single for 3 years because I am embarrassed to share my virus with them. This is the first time I have ever responded to comments, but I believe you are on to something.I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you...ycats"

But I cant go work abroad since I have hep b- I insist I am a healthy carrier but the doctor in clinic says it might turn to active stage. My world seems to go in black and my heart likes to burst. Why me, why does this kind of illness. Many questions still running on my mind even its 9 years ago. My doctor told me before I can only live for 20 years span. And im lucky if I can reach that 20 years. I panicked, I cant sleep, I cant eat as well. But I still continued life, now im still not cured. I'll try this herbal. I used to cut them of my house at povince at la union before, not knowing this herb might help me. Thanks for this comments that ive just read.. I'll try and plant some again im my vicinity. ''Phyllanthus niruri or Chanca Piedra''.. Life goes on and don't lose hope.. Our body might be affected but our heart and spirit to live a normal life must be on top of us.. Live without fear just visit your doctor twice a year after you take this plant.. Good luck to us friend out there. GOD STILL KNOWS BEST FOR US...."

12/13/2010: C. Eyes from San Fran, California replies: "Merejem from La Union, you are going to be fine! You are going to live a long healthy life. Just taking the Chanca Piedra alone made my VL drop from over 10 Million down to 300 thousand in 2 months. I made it very strong and drank it 3 or 4 times a day. The Salvia/Lungustrum works too! Its easier to take as you can pop 4 pills, 4 times a day. I mostly use this now as I have grown tired of drinking so much tea! BUT the tea worked the most dramatic and with the fastest results! Selenium is also Very important as the HBV has a gene that is the same as humans in that it takes the enzyme your liver makes out of selenium to thrive in your liver, depleting you of selenium livers and glutathione levels. This is the reason why we are so tired or in a mind fog sometimes. I have read selenium alone reduced viral loads. Like I mentioned above it MUST be the natural plant based Selenium and NOT chilated selenomethionine!!!! The most I have ever taken was 800 micro grams a day (one pill=200 micrograms, four times a day). I cant stress this enough STAY AWAY FROM selenomethionine! Reading the back of the bottle, it should say high yeast selenium. Sometimes it just says food based Selenium. The High yeast, food based selenium is less commonly sold so be sure you go to a healthfood store and ask for the food form, usually sold as high yeast selenium.

Eating anti viral foods like shitake mushrooms and cooking with extra virgin coconut oil will make an impact as well. Vitamins are important to minimize oxidation stress on your body especially your liver. Most important is vitamin D. With liver disease comes vitamin D deficiency. Be sure you are getting higher levels of Vitamin D. The best way is sun exposure. If medical research suggests that with pharmaceutical drugs, elimination of HBV is possible, why not with natural substances as I mentioned above.

My last VL count was 253 in August. Can you believe it! My doctor did not know what to say. He originally said to stay away from alternative things as "they just don't work" and "that stuff is not regulated and who know what you are getting" I'm glad I did not listen. I tried to post this data at medhelp but everyone was so big pharma and anti herbal they chased me out of their forum. IF you have success with any of the above, you must post it places like this to help others. Pass on your good fourtune to help someone else heal rhemselves and eliminate the fear that comes along with HB. I have a feeling it will be 0! I'll update here! Sorry it took so long to comeback here!"

Thank you for your post. Did you see a holistic/ ayurvedic doctor in Los Angeles? I have a small boy with chronic Hep B, (from his birth mother) and I am not sure of the correct dosages. He is only 4.

Thank you all so much for sharing your information."

My viral load isnt that high about 5800 but its risen from about 2500. My doctor doesnt seemed worried about it at all just telling me to come in every 6 months to monitor it. I dont like this and believe that western medicine is all about pharmacueticals(?). I want to start taking care of myself before its too late can someone help me with herbs and things"

06/18/2011: Jamila728 from Rochester, New York, United States replies: "Closed Eyes from LA: I just purchased chanca piedra in capsule form from raintree nutrition do you believe that is as affective as the tea? I notice alot of people use it for hep c and you are one of the few I have seen that use it for hep b. I dont want to listen to my dr anymore and there oh dont worry about it attitude. Im ready to take charge and find a way to become healthier than I already am. Any input I'm grateful for. Thankyou"

06/20/2011: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Jamila728... Chanca Piedra is one of the finest all-round herbs out there. It quickly reduces blood calcium levels, is a liver/kidney protective, reduces blood acidity, reduces high blood, reduces blood sugar, is an anti-inflammatory, reduces pain and is a strong anti-viral. Here is the full spec, with all the research, of exacty how useful Chanca Piedra is as a herb:

http://www.rain-tree.com/chanca.htm

Chanca Pidra(CP) is also more well-known as a successful anti-viral against Hep B. CP stops the Hep B virus by interferring with the Reverse Transcriptase enzyme during the Hep B virus's reproduction stage. So CP actually stops the Hep B virus reproducing itself.

Chanca Piedra is also currenty being researched for it's beneficial effects against HIV AIDs and Cancer.

CP is also completely safe to take in large doses -- no side-effects have ever been recorded even at large dosages. However, since CP is also a mild diuretic, it might be advisable to supplement with fulvic acid drops or sea salt or a good mineral supplement as well -- if the CP is taken for a long period.

If you have the CP capsules, then take at least 1000 mgs two or three times a day at mealtimes.

I would also optionally use the following protocol to further protect your liver:

Taken at mealtimes

Alpha Lipoic Acid -- 300 mgs twice a day(lunch and dinner)

Selenium -- 200 mcgs twice a day

Milk Thistle -- 1000 mgs twice a day

This simple protocol works to significantly increase Gutathione levels in the liver to help to fight the Hep C virus, remove toxins and to help raise up and strengthen your immune system to proper levels."

07/29/2011: Close Eyelids Poen from Los Angeles, Ca replies: "Mamac fromShermanOaks

The best start in my opinion is to feed the 4 year old good food. There are also anti-virals foods such as coconut milk and shitake & Maitake mushrooms. These foods have been shown to lower HB viral loads. The chanca piedra tea would then be my other recommendation. I cant recommend the Salvia Lingustrum for kids as I don't know ratio portions for kids and what is appropriate. Also, ensure the child is taking daily vitamins. That make a difference also. Not directly but ensure all the necessary nutrients are present for a growing child.

Jamila728 fromRochester, Ny

Wow considers yourself lucky with such a small VL. Drinking Chanca Piedra tea every day, made strong 3 times a day for 4 months and according to a report from a well Know Doctor Bloomburge in the 60's and you have a high change of "Clearing the virus" from the chronic state. I recommend on shitakii mushroom daily too to increase the changes of clearing HB.

Also if you bought the rain-tree capsules, the best way to really get the most out of them is to take one capsule and pour it into scalding hot water, let it sit for 5 min and drink all of it like a tea. You pull more of the active substance out into the water which makes its way into the bloodstream waay more than swallowing the dry pill.

Do this 3 times a day. That will make your bottle last much longer and you will get more Chanka Piedra internally. Do include anti-viral foods in your regimin and a daily vitamin with high levels of Vitamin D. People with liver issues like HB tend to convert less cholesterol in the liver and skin into vitamin D."

08/11/2011: Jamila728 from Rochester, Ny replies: "Close Eyelids Poen from Los Angeles, Ca

thankyou so much for your reply I will start putting the capsules in the tea to see if that helps as ive been just taking them in pill form. Also do you have any recommendations for a multi-vitamin? am I looking for like a womens one a day? And should I just eat shitake mushrooms or take a supplement and what kind of anti viral foods should I be eating? Thank you so very much"

10/31/2011: Closedeyelidso from Sanfran, Ca replies: "Hi everyone,

Here is an update on liver health I have personally found effective in the last few months.

Without any explanation from my doctors or evident on nay measurable tests, I still have liver pain. According to all prior tests, liver enzymes are low(normal range), I am healthy and there is not liver damage. I also cannot sleep on my right side like I could earlier in the month when eating the below mentioned foods. Measurable dna/rna remains extremely low although I am due for tests in the next month or two. FYI, I am not taking any supplements with the exception of a daily multivitamin and a separate vitamin D 1000 IU capsule. GNC MeggaMens formula is perfect as its selenium and vitamin D levels have recently (in the last 2 years) been increased as science continues to support medical reports of liver and immune health with high daily doses of each in recent findings.

After reading how beneficial watermelon and avocados are to the liver, I decided to incorporate them in to my daily diet. For the first time with out taking a supplement, the liver pain went away on its own! I ate one avocado a day and a plate full of watermellon a day, sometimes twice a day.

I recommend googling "watermelon liver health "and "Avocado liver protector" to read just how beneficial they both are. Usually with the articles are listed the scientific published medical journals that have researched the benefits, explain the why it does what it does and the substances isolated in the foods promoting the positive results.

Also extremely important is what I stopped eating. I reduced my intake of grains such as pasta, rice and breads. I also reduced my meat intake. I increased my raw vegetable intake like tons of spinach or other dark green leafy salads. Do not eat any foods containing canola oil. Read all about what canola oil is made from and how the plant seed, rape-seed is legally classified as an insecticide and how processing of this oil when heating, makes it less friendly to the body by sucking up vitamin e levels in the body.

If one grows tired of eating a lot of watermelon, you can juice it as well. I just got a juicer and juice it with a half of a whole lemon, peel and all. Lemon is also good at cleaning the liver!

It was amazing! To feel great and no liver pain without taking anything was awesome!

Today, I am not too proud to say, I fell off of that great diet and the liver pain returned. I recently have been eating salads again, making fresh carrot/apple/half a lemon juice but not eating any watermelon at all. I think the difference is the lack of watermelon. I'm going to buy one today and cut it up in peaces to eat over the next 5 days. Watermelon contains a potent amino acid extremely beneficial to the liver that aids in the removal of ammonia in the blood.

Just to be clear, a half a watermelon should be consumed in less than 2.5 days. That's how much one should eat or juice. The only downside for me in eating all that watermelon was peeing more frequently!

Be sure if you try the daily avocado, watermelon with the reduction of grains and meats, increased raw veggies let us know if you feel a difference."

11/01/2011: Timh from Louisville, Usa replies: "Closedeyelidso, thanx for your Liver post! If I might reply, it appears something is depleting your glutathione enzyme. Avocato, being one of the riches preformed glutathione foods (next to Asparagus), is obviously giving that boost. The watermelon supports the already taxed kidneys. Since your conditions seems sorta permanent, it seems you might need to do a whole house and whole body detox.

Also, in my own case, I too was using diet/nutrition and alternative cleansing for liver health w/ marginal releif. Then I found out about Milk Thistle Seed. MTS immediately stabilized my liver, but it appears a little too late as I soon became completely disabled. Supplimental NAC is also an excelent Glutathione booster. Another food highly recomended by naturalpaths is Broccoli Sprout Extract as it boost both phases of Liver P-450 enzymes. Good luck on your health journey."

11/03/2011: Closedeyesopen from San Fran replies: "Thank you for your reply. I never had liver pain until I had a Hep A vaccination. Thats when everything started. The hep B had been there unknowingly for a long time with never a symptom. It was literally the next day after the shot when the pain started.

I don't think this will be permanent. My liver is completely healthy with a very small viral count and no damage or visible signs of HepB according to the doctors I have seen over the last 2 years over at UCLA.

I just got finished eating the watermelon : ) I read it was best to eat it before bed for the liver. I started a few days ago and noticed a big difference. I can lay on my side again but just for five min or so which still is a significant improvement from when I wrote the post.

I'm very sorry to hear about your condition. I have read so many stories about how people who were disabled or in need of a transplant, turn themselves around with dietary changes, life style changes and a variety of herbal/amino acids. Hope a turnaround is in store for you soon!

A wise woman once said to me: "I find that nothing will get past the doors of our minds we keep closed - or in other words, remain open and that anything is possible"

That's how I lowered the viral load from Millions to hundreds!

Good luck to you!"

11/12/2011: Majid from Auckland, New Zealand replies: "Hi everyone. over 8 years ago I diagnosed with chronic HBV, and I was taking Lamovadine since, until last year I found out my body do not respond to that anymore so I started VIREAD as well.

And now after 8 years of medicine nothing changed . I am sick and tired of this, for last result decide to take alternative medicine as followed :

18/OCT/2011 : I STARTED CHANCA PIEDRA TEA TWO TO THREE TIMES A DAY
10/NOV/2011 : I ADD THE Following:

A) MULTI VITAMIN 1 DAILY
B) LIVER DETOXIFY 1X3 DAILY
C) MILK THISTLE 150mg 1X3 DAILY
D) SELENIUM 200mg 1x3 DAILY
E) ST JOHNS WORT 300mg 1X3 DAILY
F) Salvia-Ligustrum 2X3 DAILY

I will post my blood result in 2 months. I have no idea how it's gone help, but I am taking them along with my normal medicine.

I will appreciate any comment.

thank you all"

11/13/2011: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Majid... Although your herbal regimen against Hep B is a good one, I think it needs clarifying.

You are already using Chanca Piedra as well as Milk Thistle and Selenium which is great. But you would stand a much better chance against Hep B if you also took Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl Cysteine and low dose naltrexone(LDN) every day as well. See this article about how a child was cured of Hep B using this therapy.

http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1265528

The proper nutrients and dosages you should be taking for this CAM therapy are:

Milk Thistle -- 1000 mgs at meal times twice a day

Selenium -- 200 mcg twice a day at mealtimes

Alpha Lipoic Acid -- 300 mgs twice a day at mealtimes.

Acetyl Cysteine -- 200 mgs twice a day at meals.

LDN -- one 3 mg tablet taken with water at 9:00 pm at night just before bed.

The nutrients act in the following way:

Chanca Piedra -- inhibits the HBV Reverse transcriptase virus stopping its reproductive capability.

CAM therapy -- Kills the virus and repairs the liver by antioxidant action.

LDN -- Increases endorphin levels which doubles or triples the white blood cell count in the body. It also seems to fix any auto-immune signalling problems between the immune system and the anti-bodies which attack the liver. Thus the anti-bodies revert to normal immune behaviour.

This herbal therapy will not only kill the HBV virus -- it also helps to repair the liver damage bacause it greatly raises the Glutathione levels in the liver. This helps to fight the virus, detox and repair the liver as well.

Unfortunately taking Viread as well as Lamivudine will not help you that much. Lamuvidine can damage the liver as well as raise viral levels when used with other anti-virals. Type "lamivudine warnings" in Google search to find out about this. It is also quite difficult to come off Lamivudine but this is up to you."

11/13/2011: Majid from Auckland replies: "Hi Bill,

Thank you very much for your comment, my doctor told me to stop taking lamevdine 2 weeks ago. And about adjustment I will do that. I have to order online so it gone two weeks before I get anything.

Thanks again for comment."

12/14/2011: Colsede Yeso Pen from Las Altogles, Usa replies: "Update:

I have been taking the Salvia Lingustrum with GNC's brand of olive leaf extract for a month now. I find their brand was the most effective olive leaf out of the many brands I have taken over the years. I now have no pain regardless of what I eat as some foods would cause some pain when passing through the liver. I can lay on my side again unlike just a month ago. I started taking them both for something totally unrelated, a sever tooth ache.

A filling came out a month ago which by the way, is good since it was amalgam. Around that time, that tooth was causing severe pain all over my right jaw and face! I am trying to avoid getting a root canal after reading the dangers in health associated with them.

Olive leaf extract worked well in the past with a toothache. I decided to combine it this time with the Ligusrtom formula and it worked within hours!! It works so well. I have been to a dentist and they gave me a prescription for antibiotics which I have not gotten filled as the infection is gone, so long as I keep taking these herbs. IT starts to come back after a day if I go too long without taking it- like 8 hours or more. I will take the antibiotics if this is not completely healed in another week or so.

I have been taking 8 Salvia/Ligustrum with 2 olive leafe, 3 times a day. Also included is about 8,000 IU of Vitamin D and one daily vitamin I take this time a year/flue season to avoid getting the flu.

I will continue with this through the end of February. After that point, I will go for another round of tests and post the results here.

I failed to mention a side effect when taking this amount, this frequently, on a daily basis. It increases libido."

12/19/2011: Jamila728 from Rochester, Ny replies: "Ok so I've been taking the chanca piedra capsules. I haven't been drinking it as a tea though :(. What kind of multi vitamin should I be taking along side this. What about maca root- I've heard some things about that. Is there anything specific I should be taking my viral load is really low."

12/27/2011: Closed Lids Wide from Sanfran, Ca replies: "As long as the mulitvitamin high levels of vitamin D and selenium - like the GNC brand usually in a box next to their registers, your good."
