Hepatitis B Treatment and Holistic Cures

I am HBV carrier. Luckily by Earth Clinic I came across Chanca Piedra and had it capsule form. Really wonders happened, like in a month by taking two capsules per day I felt like I am having a cell in the place of my liver. I do drink regularly. Never visit the doctor. Bcz ur liver tells ur energy levels So my suggestion is Just take Chanca pedria capsules. They are available online Indian name for Chanca pedria is Bhumi Amla So you don't need to work On other medications hope it helps you. Any questions welcome

I am beginning (restarting) a natural journey to treat my own hepatitis b, and will actively provide updates. Last measured viral load was about 84,000 (down from 500,000,000 btw, all due to natural methods: Chanca Piedra tea/Oxymatrine).

I am not sure what my viral load is currently, probably in the millions, but i am not willing to go to the doctor again after consistently being dismissed by my doctor about natural therapies that worked on me. From here on out, I will be taking the following for a year: O

xymatrine Chanca Piedra concentrated tea Monolaurin Selenium Licorice root+potassium Serrapeptase After 1 year: AHCC Monolaurin Selenium I am aware that this is a lot to keep taking consistently, and probably costs a lot of money, but I'm at a stage where I could get HCC if I don't do anything about this.

We have to take this seriously....this is a very serious health problem. We also need patience and consistency for this to work. Because medical system sucks, and doctor's are not willing to monitor us if we do this, we have to take control of our own health. I'm going to get an independent CBC/AFP blood test/fibroscan every now and then (without doctor referral..) to keep track of progress. I will try to find a good doctor that doesn't force drugs on me, but until then, this is my plan.

Will continue to report because I know how devastating this condition is, and how lonely and hopeless it can make one feel. Great ingredients for depression...! Stay strong, y'all. There is hope. If this is all successful,

I am going to start a website with all these supplements. I am determined...we have to do this for ourselves and our loved ones. But especially for our own health and mental wellbeing.

I took 500mg of BHT every day for about two and a half years. Food Grade BHT and putting it into a capsule by myself.

My virus load HBV-DNA (hepatitis B) even increased that period from 15 IU/ml to 133 IU/ml. During that period also my cold sores (herpes) outbrakes increased (because of having stress) so BHT didn't protect me at all, even though I took it before my outbreaks in order to deal with my hepatitis.

BHT doesn't dissolve at all in water because it is a lipophilic organic compound. So why taking it on an empty stomach without food with lipids according to Oscar's treatment protocol? It will not be absorbed in the small intestine.

I had many expectations from BHT and had even two major negative results. So that's why I am giving it only one star.

I had no side effects at all (but not direct either!).

I like your message! it's encouraged me to go on and continue my life!

HEPATITIS B VIRUS DIFFICULTIES. NEED HELP FOR SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT

Hello to all EarthClinic.

I was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2013 but my doctor always told me I NOT a good candidate to be placed on treatment most likely my body will easily cleared the virus for itself. I was in this condition till 2015 doing my regular every six month liver function test when the result gave a little high increase in ALT and AST, at that time the Doctor decided to put me on tenofovir for three months treatments to help bring the AST and ALT to normal. I was on this treatment when I came cross earthclinic websit through several research on where to have a possible cure of this virus. 2015 I discovered EarthClinic and the BHT treatment while on my third month of Tenofovir after I complete the three months treatment of Tenofovir I went again for another liver Function test the result shown no much different in level on the AST and ALT from normal level, this means they were still a little higher from normal.

After a month different I decided to start the BHT treatment within four months on BHT, when I went for another liver test, this time I got a very good liver test result which shown a normal level on ALT and AST l. I was on BHT a through 2015 to 2016 and 2017. My first doctor Had to leave, he was an India doctor, he left in 20017. but I was still on my BHT treatment, later on I had to contact another Doctor for another Liver Function Test and also to see my Hepatitis B status with BHT this test proved very well after taking BHT for almost 11 months just it alone. the Doctor asked me to stop taking if I was on any drug for Hepatitis B because I don't currently have any active a Hepatitis B in my blood. I should only be repeating my normal Liver function test this happen ending of 2017 at that time I have to stop since I was not experiencing any difficulties with me as use to be and the BHT quantity was almost finished.

After like five month went for another liver function test which also shows a good result and my urine was also very cleared in color. So I was in this state with no troubles until 16 October this year when start felling some fever so I went to see another Doctor since I was unable to access my old Doctor and explained to him my problem so he ordered me for Hepatitis B, Liver Function Test, Malaria and Typhoid. When the result came out I had AST 118 and ALT 91 which both shows high.

Hepatitis B Virus Profile:

Hepatitis B Surface antigen Reactive

Hepatitis B Surface antibody Non Reactive

Hepatitis B Core Igm Non Reactive

Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Reactive

Hepatitis B Surface Envelop Antigen Non Reactive

Hepatitis B e antibody Reactive.

In this condition I'm also experiencing difficult in breathing weak body. So the Doctor also asked to do and Ultrasound that is liver scan, the liver shows that my liver is in good state but my New Doctor decided to admitted for three days for the difficult in breathing I was experiencing and also put me on tonoforvir and another drug call LIVERIL contains milk thistle and sylirum . I was discharged after three days when my difficult breathing problem was resolved. Presently I'm taking the Tenofovir treatment and the LIVERIL treatment I have been in this almost three weeks now. Since then I have also been experiencing some abdominal pain though not severe and also experiencing heaviness on my leg when walking or standing. I have placed an order for BHT which I'm expecting to have before end of week so that I can go back to my old BHT treatment. My serious challenge now is the heaviness on my legs and feets, this why I also wish to have the BHT treatment see if it can take care of this heaviness. I will appreciation for any advice on the various drugs and other treatment that can help to clear this condition, I'm really a little bit worry for my present health condition. Thank you all

Am just reading this now and I discovered it has been posted a long time a go. Please can u tell me the BRAND of beta 1,3 glucan you have used to increase ur antibody that high.

For whatever it is worth. 45 yrs ago I just had a baby a week later I was sick, went to the hospital the nurs said my eyes were yellow.

They called in an expert in hepatitis. He came in brought a huge needle with a blunt end and drew out a liver biop.

I went to his office the next day, he said I had lost 1/2 of my liver and to restore it suck on hard candy SLOWLY, he said the slow release of sugar will heal the liver. 2-3 months later he did another biop on me and my liver was completely restored.

I have told this story many times but... everyone wants a pill.

Hi Danbuzu...I'ld like to tell you a story that is relevant to your problem. Three years ago my wife's cousin, a young 20 year old Filipino, applied for his first job. And whenever you apply for a job dealing with people in the Philippines you have to get checked by the doctor. When the cousin had his check-up, they discovered that he had the Hepatitis B antigen.

He spoke to me about his problem and I advised him to gather the Chanca piedra near his house and then make a decoction with it and to drink a glass of that decoction twice a day everyday. The advised decoction can be made by taking one whole mature plant(with roots) cut it into one inch lengths, bash it roughly, and then add it to a large pot together with 2 liters of water. On low heat, boil it down gently until you have one liter left. Remove, cool, strain and put into a container in the fridge. Take two glass of this decoction every day outside meal times.

After about 6 months, I spoke with the cousin again and I asked him about his Hep B problem. He told me that he went for a check-up after about 3 months of taking the decoction and said that the doctor's tests could no longer detect the Hepatitis B antigen anymore. And he also told me proudly that he now had a new job.

I know for a fact that the Chanca piedra plant commonly grows as common a weed in the lowlands of Nigeria - just like it does in the Philippines where I live. And the plant is very easy to identify because it grows up to a meter high and is the only plant in the world where its seeds are uniquely found along the underside stem of the leaf petiole.

Here is an article on Chanca piedra which will show you images of this plant so you can identify it and gather it for yourself in your region:

Chanca piedra(aka Stone-Breaker, Seed-Under-Leaf)

If you take this remedy as described, it won't cost you a dime. And, from my own experience with this herb, it will cure Hepatitis B. Another piece of research in 1988 that involved 37 young children in the UK -- all with Hepatitis B. They gave these kids chanca piedra in capsule capsule form. After only 20 days of taking the Chanca piedra, the Hep B antigen could no longer be detected in 22 of 37 children involved in the research. The cured children were also tested again after 9 months with still no trace of the Hep B antigen.This research is here. And Chanca piedra also has considerable efficacy in eradicating both the Hepatitis C virus and the Herpes Simplex virus. So Chanca piedra undoubtedly has strong anti-viral action against several prominent viral diseases that has been well proven from the research.

Consider Oxymatrine. It is protects the kidney's as well. It protects against fibrosis, cancer and reduces hbv replication. Also try chanca piedra/pyllanthus nirruri at low doses, for extended time. Include AHCC for more complete cure.

My wife is having liver disease issue pertaining to HBV where her viral count is over 7,000 iu and went up from 4,500 6 months ago. She also has the Chronic Kidney disease. Can you let me know how to contact Oscar for BHT treatment and how expensive it is for a month, and how long you need this treatment?

Where can I buy chanca piedra in the Philippines?

Hello, just checking if for real someone hep b chronic was cured and what they used and how long. Thank you waiting to hear from the cured people.

Hi. As far I know there is no cure for hep b.

Chanca piedra or BHT - which one is to come first for HBV treatment? Please...

Hi. My question is to Bill or anyone who can give me advice I just got my lab done. ALT 63; hepatitis B surface AB quant >1,000.00 ;hepatitis B surface AB qual reactive ; hepatitis B surface Ag nonreactive; hepatitis C virus antibody nonreactive. I'm confuse do I have hepatitis B? Can I start to take Chanca Piedra? Doctor told me to do more blood work in one month. Experiencing some pain in right side ander ribcage. Ultrasound is ok. Wasn't vaccinated. Please help. Thank you!

What I recommend is incorporating chanca piedra (either phyllanthus niruri, amarus, urinaria or all of them all together. you can find some good online vendors, some of which are tropilab, wholefoodbotanicals...etc) they reduce hbvdna, hbsag, hbeag (i went negative for hbeag a couple months ago after using nirruri for 4 months in a row, morning and evening as a concentrated tea). Phyllanthus amarus has the ability to also lower the risk for HCC.

Also, I recommend monolaurin. that thing is pretty good as well and has a similar function to bht. Oxymatrine is also quite good and is antifibrotic.

With all of these, also try to build your immune system. AHCC is a great example of something that can help a lot. Rebounding as well is an excellent way to stimulate lymph flow. try to reduce proccessed food, but also eat a lot of good hearty balanced foods. Practice deep breathing, positive emotions, and try to develop an even stronger personality. By doing this, we reduce tension in our bodies, which can otherwise suppress circulation and interfere with our healing hormonal responses. You can also take Alpha glucan, which improves specific immunity to hbv. Only with the right balance of hbv replication and immune system "warriors" can we develop immunity. Even if we develop immunity, there is still going to be low grade replication. So after we earn immunity, we also must continue with natural antiviral treatments such as chanca piedra, monolaurin, oxymatrine, and maybe even bht. When you combine a few things, please read about any possible interactions first.

I am currently taking 3 types of chanca piedra morning and night, 3 pills of oxymatrine, and building up to 3 scoops of monolaurin. All of these are powerful antivirals.

Only with phyllanthus nirruri treatment (and some oxymatrine, some bht but more religiously, the phyllanthus nirruri) on and off, I was able to reduce my hbv viral load of 500,000,000 to 64,000, and turn hbeag to negative (with the addition of phyllanthus amarus).

I've had enlarged spleen for years, and only now it's starting to reduce in size (related to fibrosis of the liver and portal hypertension). I did a fibroscan last month as well, and it came to a result of Fibrosis 0-1 stage. For fibrosis, I also have been using serrapeptase though. I recommend it as well ( start with very small amounts as some people will have violent vomiting reaction if they start with regular dose). Be on monolaurin with full dosage for 2 weeks before starting serrapeptase if you plan to do so. For anyone with splenomegaly I recommend red root extract or tea. For anyone with platelet issues (related to splenomegaly most likely) I recommend papaya leaf extract. with both of these, start with small doses.

hi cabalen..just diagnosed heap B, I drink boiled fresh ginger and turmeric with crushed pepper.please give me the details how to prepare CP, here is all in powder form.how many times do you take everyday? Please help.

For what it is worth I had Hep b 43 yrs ago when my son was born. The doctor was a specialist in this disease. He bioped me told me it was hep b from a dirty needle. 6 months later he did the same biop I was cured.

His method was sucking on hard candy, slow release of sugar was his answer. I do not remember how many a day but I do remember horehound and christmas wheels.

Hi Samo, thank you for that input, it's very encouraging. I've battled with HBV now since 2011. I also take entecavir and my viral load is basically undetected but I get heat sensation on my upper back now for a year and it can be very uncomfable at night or when I'm not working or moving around..Fatigue is there too. I'm thinking of stop taking entecavir and follow a strict diet and lifestyle you've made. I just want to know how has it been now for you?

Thanks again

Blessings

Can reactive turn to be non reactive?

Why is Oscar not answering anymore on recent posts?

Hi Oscar, I started BHT treatment 5 months ago, I followed recommended by your protocol. 250 mg BHT in the morning and before I go to bed. I also take vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin B and vitamin B12 on daily basis. I am have chronic Heb B. My doctor is saying I am still in immunotolerant stage. Here is my lab results:

06/30/2016

HBV Quantitative copies/ml: 12978600000

08/20/16 started BHT protocol

11/18/16

HBV Quantitative copies/ml: 10126800000

that is 21% decrease of viral load. Not as much as I read some other people had. I am still continuing taking BHT, I also try to exercise everyday and reduce my red meat intake. My liver enzymes are within the norm. I also drink Chanca Peidra tea on daily basis. I got labs done on 12/27/16 and still waiting for my results.

Dear Oscar, thank you so much for your input, this virus is affecting my dating life and my self esteem and I hope to get rid of it one day.

Chanca Piedra grows wild in Ghana. Look at Bill of San Fernando in The Philippines describes it, as well as shows what you need to recognize about this plant with pictures in his post. It is also known as stone breaker and in local language Awo ba agu nakyi.

Please, can I can't find CP tree in my country and I'm also tested hepatitis B positive. I need your help please

S: Try taking 350mg BHT once a day and fallow 1hr later with either one capsule of Echinacea Extract or St John'sWort Extract. If this doesn't achieve complete remission try doing this 2x per day. You may also consider taking 1000mg Lysine per day as this amino acid helps the immune system.

If you don't experience an increase in the viral numbers this is enough to go on living and not worrying about it, but if the above treatment doesn't get & keep the numbers low, then you will need to do some whole body detox & cleanses so to get your immune function back to normal.

Zinc deficiency is common in cases of chronic infections so consider supplementing Zinc/Copper 50mg/1mg per day away from fiber foods.

Hi, I believe it is important that people share their experience using BHT supplement.

As I reported here for about 2.5 years, I consume BHT to treat my chronic Hepatitis B disease.

I consumed 750 Mg per day and my viral load remained very low, but unfortunately I have not achieved complete healing yet.

My last blood test showed a result of 548 HBV QUANTITATIVE PCR (One year ago it was 860 which is also not very high)

I wonder how I can improve my results, despite I am taking relatively a large amount of BHT every day (750 mg)?

All the best, Sarah

Please the best way to deal with those stubborn diseases is to kill the parasites, bacteria, viruses and worms causing them.

these are the list of plants to use:

• Mugwort
• Male Ferm Root
• Pumpkin Seed
• Black Walnut Hulls
• Cascara Sagrada

please, note that all these plant combined together will kill the most strongest parasites, bacteria, viruses and worms. please check details on each and how to combine them because some should be used in little doses. but when combine and taken in small doses for a short time you eliminate all and get better.

Dear Lee, Thank you for your encouragement. I need to inform all BHT users that in my opinion the product sold as BHT by " Wholesale Nutrition " is NOT pure BHT. It is a mixture of BHT, cellulose [ a cheap filler ] magnesium steorote, [ unsure of spelling ] and silicon dioxide. This powdery mixture is NOT any thing close to pure BHT. Why it is allowed to be sold as BHT is a mystery to me.

I just bought a bottle through AMAZON and am NOT happy with it and will NOT use it. The silicon dioxide is finely ground sand and is used in some toothpastes and cosmetics and has known dangers.

So if people are using this " Wholesale Nutrition " brand of BHT and having poor results and or bad side effects it is NOT pure BHT and lists those other ingredients I noted on the bottles.

I do not spend the time here in this forum like I used to. I am in a lot of pain. I had hoped these metal sutures could be removed. Two surgeons advised against trying to do that. Was told I would likely end up in MORE pain and worse off than I am. They are willing to try but strongly advise to leave things as is.

The thought of being in even more pain does scare me. I am sorry I do not have it in me to be here more. I know for sure there are MANY far worse off than me.

What can I say? Take Care, ...Oscar

Hi Bill, is there a diet needed to follow during 2 month of drinking chanca piedra for HBV carrier?

and when you said out of meal, is it before of after meals?

Please advice.... thank you in advance.

Oscar, never get weary of doing good. It's like many missions who help the less fortunate. Some come there to abuse the system not needing the help. They already have a job and food and can make it on there own but see it as free food so they take it. Others truly need the help and have children who also need the help and really appreciate the support of donations and time. It is for the latter of the two that we continue our missing to help people . Both will come and I accept that I can not change it. Always remember Oscar you are here for us who need the help. I wanted to thank you for all your help and time and compassion. Many things come and go but your good deeds will forever be remembered!!! Best Regards, Lee

About 6 months ago a young Filipino friend, who was part of the family, contacted me for advice. He had just left his job and was hoping to get another higher paying job. To get this job he had to have a medical. Unfortunately, his medical results showed that he had Hepatitis B. He was quite depressed about this because no job == no money == no food for his own family.

I recommended a very cheap protocol. I later met with him and showed him what the Chanca piedra plant looks like (see below). It grows profusely as a weed all over the tropical lowlands of the Philippines and so its a free remedy. I advised that he should immediately take a decoction of Chanca piedra -- one glassful -- twice a day outside mealtimes.

The way to make the CP decoction is as follows:

• Take one whole mature CP plant with roots.
• Wash the plant thoroughly and cut it up into 2 ins lengths.
• Bash the plant so it opens up.
• Throw the result into a large pot and fill it up with 2 litres of water.
• Boil this down gently to 1 liter.
• Remove, cool and strain.
• Store the liquid decoction in the fridge. It will keep for about a week.

The Chanca piedra plant only grows to a height of about 1 meter and it has one unique distinguishing characteristic -- it has seed pods growing underneath the leaves and all along the upper petioles of the plant. That's also why it's other name is Seed-Under-Leaf.

Anyway, after my Filipino friend had taken the Chanca Piedra decoction for about two months, he went back to the doc and was again tested again for Hepatitis B. There was no sign of the Hep B antigen in his results and he was completely clear.

He also got the job that he wanted...

Here is a picture of the Chanca piedra plant.

Hi there,

To answer your question, please allow me tell you about my own experience. I found out that I have a chronic Hepatitis B in 2006. I felt fine at that time, However, Doctor gave me a medicine (entecavir (Baraclude)) and said it will help to bring down virus load, but not cure (I should ask more about "not cure"). I trusted him 100% without any question. And I took it. 3 months late, test result looked very good. the virus load went to most under detect it. Then about 6 months total after taking that medicine, I felt pain in my back where kidney area, and body pain.

Long story short, then stop taking it after about 10 months from when start taking it. All my kidney pain, and body pain issues went away. But down side is virus load spiked back. Plus this medicine made virus change from inactive to active, based on last blood test result from doctor. And after 1 month stop taking that medicine, I started having all kind issues with my liver.

I had been used natural herbs/foods since then to treat any symptom that I had. Here is how I live with it so far:

1. Don't take medicine for hep B, if it doesn't cure it. Specially you feel fine. And if you make a decision to take it, then please ask all kind of questions, reach for second, third, even fourth opinions.

2. Don't take painkiller, It will make our liver getting worse. And most of the time, we need to feel pain that how we know what wrong. I always look at this way, pain meaning our body tells us that change life style: the way we eat, exercise, mood.

3. I always taking supplement:
main for HEP B: SELENIUM 200 mcg, NAC sustain, B-Complex, R+ Alpha Lipoic Acid every day. Zinc 30mg for 3 days and skip 2 or 3 days.
SPECIAL: MILK THISTLE taking 5 table spoons. Yes 5 table spoons per day. When you feel any issue with liver. And drink dry Artichoke leaf (boiling about 1 big leaf in 16 oz of water like making a tea). Need to taste that bitter.
dandellion, Red Reishi mushroom are good to take too

4. If feel any pain at liver side (right side). I took 1 tsp of black seed oil in morning and 1 tsp at night before bed. This works for me all time. Also see step 7

5. Vitamin D. either taking a sunbath or taking supplement. Lately, I found out that we need to take Vitamin D with K2 ratio.

6. Vitamin C. I take high dose until feel soft stool, when I have flu/cold. And in the past, I often went doctor at naturopathic medicine college to iv vitamin therapy session. Lately, I feel fine and busy at work, I stopped doing that for more 3 years now.

7. Juice vegetable: I always juice "Beet, Carrot, Kale, ginger". those are main ones for liver. And sometime I added parsley for kidney.

8. Water. make sure enough mineral water if we can. Now a day, we have filter drinking water which filter everything including mineral.

9. RELAX. Often relax. Don't get anger, there is nothing worth more than our health. If start feel anger, laugh with it. It took me years to find out how to relax. Even now, I would say I am not complete relax yet. How do I practice to relax? jump into pool and play dead. feel all joins, muscles and let them relax completely. And Meditation, it is not easy to sit still ( if we can slowly increase time to more than 1 hour), when I started. And then I would say I know how to relax. :-)
PRAY also is good way to relax too.

10. Foods: I don't eat meat for at least 8 years. so I just say what food I eat most every day
- oils:
extra virgin Olive 3-5 table spoons
sometimes taking cold express virgin coconut oil. specially when I feel tired
Avocado oil for fried food
Black seed oil for cure my right side pain
Seeds: chia seeds or power flax seeds for morning, pumpkin seed/sunflower seeds for snack
Nuts: 2 full hands for mixed nuts without salt for Costco
Fruit: wild blueberries, goji (little bit expensive), cranberry. all kind of berries. wild and organic or non-GMO at much as possible.
Gains: I am Asian, rice is the main dish. Now, I try eating less rice and adding more seeds in whole wheat bread. I got seeduction bread from whole foods.
Additional, every morning I drink 1 glass of water with lemon before brush my teeth.
AVOID ANY SUGAR, and GREASY BAD FAT

11. Massage: often self massage every inch. special in the shower. rule to release pain for myself, massage more on the side not feel pain. if pain on the right, massage similar spot on the left. And brush teeth, I always told my kids massage teeth. meaning massage gum and tongue. This will help our taste better, liver function works properly.

In case you ask me if I have a family. My wife and 2 kids have negative. Thanks God!

Hope it helps you. Wish all the best to you.

Cheers to our health!

Hi F Ahmed,

Hope you are fine and doing good.. I am in the similar stage as you are posting the msg. I have gone through all the comments, but did not find any relevant answer. I am in the same stage and frame of mind with no hopes.

Can you please help me. Where did you get treated?? Is it completely cured or not?? How to approach and whom to approach?

Regards, Sateesh

Dear Oscar, I bought BHT (butylated hydroxy toluene) but the capsules contain 250mg and I don't know how to convert it to 350mg, since I am huge and fat. Please advise me on what to do, because I waited for almost one month to get this from US to here in Malaysia. Looking for your reply

Hi I have Heaptitis B and would like to know how much chance piedra would help me kill the virus. I read that someone boiled the weed and cured his hep b in 6 months. What is the best form to use, whole leaves, tea or extract? Thanks

Dear Davey,

Thank you so much for your valuable comments, could you please advise the meaning of treatment? Is HBV curable as in it can be removed from the body completely with medication? I am a chronic HBV carrier and I have been told that there is no cure for HBV.

Hi Oscar,

I have read your post regarding the Hep b treatment. My GI doctor has put me on entecavir (Baraclude). I am the type that doesn't like to take medicine. My viral load is > 5 mil. I had fibroscan performed this April...the doctor said that there is cirrhosis. Though the liver ALT is <30 for the last 20 years.

I purchased BHT, Chandra piedra tea & tincture and also Ayurvedic Yakrit.

Should I start all these alternative treatment before looking into taking entecavir? Thanks for your kindness in assisting!

Sincerely, Linda

Hello Oscar, this is Daniel from Libreville its always good to come back to the Forum.

I have been doing really good all these while and been just going around doing my work as every other person. Last February I was at the Hospital and the viral count is still going down, though at a certain time I lost track of my diet and things were not as it use to be and my viral load went back up with some little abnormalities on my liver enzymes. Since October 2014. I have been having this very crazy side symptoms which I don't understand. I constantly feel like my stomach is full. I have been to the hospital, did a fibre scan, blood test for enzymes and everything looks normal, there is no inflammation somewhere, nothing. Now I dont know if there is anyone here who is going through the same issue with Hep B, and have been able to deal with it. Please if there is any one here please let me know. I am still on my BHT treatment and I think its getting me on the right track.

It will be nice hearing from you Oscar.

Hello Femi, In case you need BHT 350mg Capsule in Lagos, Nigeria, just send your contact details to jesuslives360 (at) yahoo.com. A bottle of the 350mg contains 100 capsule but please be ready to pay to get a bottle. I only have less than 5 bottles left. Thanks. Jesy.

I want to thank you Oscar for the good work you're doing on this website. I commenced treatment for hbv March 2015 with viral load of over 14 million ui/ml copies and I repeated the test in September 2015 and came down to less than 90 copies after been on Tenofovir for that same period.

I do not want to continue with the Tenofovir again. What herbal remedy would you recommend for me to help totally get rid of this monster. My LFTs are very normal now and symptoms again.

Thank you Oscar-d-genius!

How can I get this plant - Chanca Piedra? Is there any other name for it please?

Dear Muna [ Lagos, Nigeria ], You can try to buy the " LifeLink " brand here:

http://www.ilifelink.com/bht_butylated_hydroxytoluene_250_mg_x_500_capsules.html

If this company does not sell to Nigeria you can also try finding a retailer who does at " Ebay " or " Amazon ". I know there is a problem for many Nigerians in finding a retailer of BHT that sells to Nigeria.

This is a problem you are going to have to solve for yourself.

Also: BHT is classified as a " food preservative " and not a " drug "....Oscar

What a great testimony and am so happy for you.

Dear Pelumi [ New York ], Thank you so very much for posting your results about the use of BHT and the other supplements you discussed to treat both hepatitis C and B.

Like you I was infected with both. And like you my response to the BHT treatment was rapid and dramatic. Though I was only being tested for hepatitis C. It was noted I was also infected with hepatitis B. At least for the hepatitis C my blood was testing negative in about one month.

But you need to understand that this did NOT mean I was cured. It meant the treatment was working the way hoped for.

It took years, and I really do NOT know how many years before I tested negative for both infections using the hepatitis C and B antibodies tests. Mike [ Twodragunns got negative with the hepatitis C antibodies test in somewhat less than one year ]. That is the record as far as I know with the use of BHT to treat a hepatitis C infection. This is was with continued use of the BHT treatment.

Keep in mind that: BHT does NOT uninfect an infected liver cell. What BHT can do is prevent uninfected liver cells from becoming infected. And all liver cells have about a 200 day lifespan. So with continued treatment a true CURE is possible and has been achieved by myself and others including Mike with the use of BHT.

Look the treatment you described is working very well. But you are still infected until you test negative with that antibodies test.

The hepatitis C forums are full of people who relapsed after getting to no virus detected in the blood using the now dated interferon + ribaviron + whatever treatments.

So it is VERY important that you continue with the BHT treatment for at least two years. You do NOT want to relapse. This is great news you posted. I wish more people would. Also you added some supplements that apparently work very well with the BHT treatment. There is no arguing with success. You are helping this forum and many people with your input....Oscar

Femi, sorry for replying so late. Yes I bought the Chanca Piedra tea.

Now let me give an update about my own case. My doctor had told me that not only did I come down with Hep B, but also Hep C. The Lucozade and the Glucose worked miracles because by the time I went back it has gotten so much better.

But the very first time I googled about a natural cure for Hep B and it brought to me to this site it was John from Sydney Australia's remedy I first saw. So I ordered everything on the list from Amazon. I got Schizandra, BHT, Seleniun, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Virgin Coconut oil capsules. I used them every single day. I stopped the lucozade and the Glucose D altogether at that time. By the end of one month and I went back to my doctor, they drew blood, the result came back, and he told me there was no trace of either Hep B or C in my blood test anymore. He shouted for joy and almost hugged me. I told him I had gone holistic. He just was so happy and wanted to know what I had used. He said I would not be needing the sonogram he had originally ordered which I didn't go for. Now I've been able to eat. I had lost 20 pounds while I was battling with the disease from July to now; which was the best thing I got out of being sick. But now I am so happy that I am cured.

So, you CAN be cured holistically, with BHT in particular. And the other supplements enhance the cure too. Thank you guys very much.

Please, I need BHT. Can I be assited. How do I obtain the drug in Nigeria. I want to cure my Heb. B. I am living with the disease. Please advise me.

What a great testimony and thanks for the update. I bought BHT from a drug store in UK. Are you talking about Chanca Piedra tea or leaf. It amaze me why all this things are not here in Nigeria. Thanks for the update.

Hello Femi and Lekan. I am also a Nigerian. I came back from Nigeria not too long ago only to discover I too came down with Hep B. I have seen my doctor who is also a Nigerian who PROMISED me that if you attacked Hep B with Glucose D and Lucozade, you will get a cure after a while. You know why? Because he has been there. He got infected with the blood of a patient while operating him, through the carelessness of one of the operating room nurses. The only thing he took was to bombard himself with drinking a lot of Glucose D and Lucozade. I am drinking both of them on a daily basis, while at the same time I have started taking BHT and Chanca Piedra. I got mine through Amazon.com. So if you guys have access to Amazon America you might be able to order your BHT and Chanca Piedra. But in the mean time keep drinking that Glucose D and Lucozade. You will definitely start feeling better. According to my doctor that was the only thing he drank for a long time and he eventually got cured.

I am in South Africa. Where do I buy salvia ligustrum?

Hello Oscar, thank you for the good job you are doing by helping people with hepatitis.

I was recently diagnosed with hep b with a viral load of 7065 in May 2015. I took Neem, dandelion root and leaf, golden seal, and turmeric. In July 2016, approximately 6 weeks and some days after being diagnosed I tested again, my viral load went down to 4011.

My question is will the BHT totally cure my hepatitis as I am trying to clear it from my system entirely. I read a lot of people says BHT is helping them reduce their viral load but not bring cured totally from it. I read you have been cured from it. Please advice. My ALT is normal. I'm looking forward to take another blood test this week to see if my viral load is gone.

Hi Muhamed. Am also having that hepatitis b. What is that plant?? How useful is it? Can it be found in Nairobi and Mombasa? Tell me of other herbs. Any of the members can send me email.

Where can I get salvia in south africa or online..

Hi I have been following the thread, where can I buy salvia in south africa or online. please help

Please please help me.I'm still hepatitis b patient.i want go Dubai for job but that virus damaged my life.please please please answer me HBV can positive became negative......my mom and dad very upset about me bcz I'm one and only son.

Mercy, when will you start importing them. This seems to be killing a lot of people. I went for a lab test and I was told am Hepatitis B positive, I have never heard of it till that very first day and reading about it's really scary Livolin is giving me burning pain, rashes and mild headache.

Emmanuel and Lekan, Please I will like to know if there's a pharmacist here in Nigeria that sales BHT. Am reading about Chanca Piedra and Salvia leaf what is their local name here in Nigeria. Thanks

Oscar thanks for enlighten me. Am in Nigeria and need your help regarding BHT, have been going to severe burning pain since I started taking Livolin and I don't think it's really helping me. Am so confused right now and I will like to get back to my life style and daily routine

Hi, Ashe I am also with a similar problem and so we can help each other on hepatitis b. Here is my email address mussie313 (at) gmail.com

I am a nigerian, if I import bht to nigeria, how much can you people afford to buy it there in nigeria?

Hi Ricoh...I would advise, for now, just to take the Chanca piedra(CP) as advised for your Hep B problems. CP is also highly beneficial for the liver and kidneys, lowers blood pressure, removes excess calcium from the blood and helps to lower fats and sugars in the blood. So CP will also go a long way to helping you maintain a healthy heart.

Concerning your fears of hereditary heart disease, I would simply take 100 mgs niacin at every meal. Niacin will give you the niacin flush. To avoid this just take an aspirin 20 mins before you take the niacin -- no flush. If you can, you should also supplement some form of iodine as well. You can buy lugol's iodine from Philippine websites like sulit.com. You could also perhaps just buy some liquid kelp extract(which contains iodine) from a health store and use that instead. The combination of niacin and iodine -- called iodo-niacin -- is an old and well-known pre-WWII heart remedy that worked better than statins and without the dangerous side-effects.

I would also try to avoid sugar, excess carbohydrates, junk food and excess fats in your diet.

Thank you very very much for your reply Bill, I really appreciate it. is there a Quiapo Market in Quezon City?? isn't it located in Quiapo Manila?? Anyway, I have another question. are there any supplements which contains most of the important vitamins and minerals that you mentioned like alpha liphoic, selenium etc etc coz it would be very expensive to buy those supplements one by one. how about usana supplements?? it says that it has some of the most important minerals like alpha lipoic and many more but its selenium is not food based just like the one you recommend.

Also I would like to ask if its safe for a person with hepatitis b to take fresh cayenne pepper because I've been taking it for more than a week now, 3x a day after meals because I've heard that it's good for the heart and will unclog blocked arteries. even though I don't have any symptoms of heart problems yet, I decided to take cayenne for prevention since almost all of my grandparents, uncle, relatives died from heart problems & stroke. If you have spare time please text me at my cel. no. 09106630286.

Good day Is theres possible cure to temporary Non-reactive from re-reactive? I will undergo a medical test soon for employment. Hope to hear from you soon. Regards

Hi Ricoh...Regarding your Hep B problem, it's probably best if you go to Quiapo Market in Quezon City(by the bridge) and buy the Chanca piedra from there -- this is the main herb that will help to cure your Hep B. In Filipino, this herb is called sampa-sampalukan.

Only Chanca piedra(or sampa-sampalukan) has the proven the ability to cure Hepatitis B.

Chanca piedra grows everywhere as a weed in the Philippines and looks like this:

Chanca piedra

To make the decoction, just add 3 tablespoons of the dry, powdered chanca piedra to 2 liters of boiling water. If you find the plant then just use one whole plant, with roots, to make the decoction. Boil this down gently until you have one liter. Then strain the liquid and put this into the fridge. Drink half a glass of this liquid 3 times a day. You can add fresh fresh juice to it if you like for a better taste.

Hi there Bill!! Hope you're still there to answer my questions.. my first question is, can I substitute that heart shape plant that you mentioned with serpentina (andrographis paniculata also known as the king of bitters)??

What is the purpose of combining of another bitter herbs to CP?? Can you teach me a proper way of drying CP plant?? hope I can talk to you longer in our dialect because I'm not very good in english. I really need your help. please add me at my yahoo messenger (cire_gt(at)yahoo.com) or at my friendster (dodong_oragon(at)yahoo.com).

Thank you for the reply Marcin!! The reason why I chose chanca piedra is because I've heard that this plant has a higher chance of curing hepatitis B and that's what I'm trying to cure since I can find so many chanca piedra plant here in my place unlike tulsi which is hard to find. also I would like to ask how should I prepare a decoction/tea from a fresh chanca piedra plant, coz what I do is I take two fresh CP, roots included and boil it in 1.5liter water. am I doing it right and is it ok to boil it in the evening and drink it 3x the next day?? I also would like to know if I can take fresh CP and dry it for future consumption. what is the proper way to dry CP and does dried CP lose it's effectiveness in curing hepa B and dissolving stones?? if not, then how long can I store dried CP in an airtight bottle. is it ok to take other herbs alongside CP because I'm planning to take other herbs that will help to elevate my blood pressure. but first, I have to find some herbs which helps to elevate blood pressure.

Hi. It is long time when you wrote this post I am wondering how you are getting on with any treatment for Hepatitis b. Regards Raja

Hi Ricoh,

Another herbal remedy for the gallstones is tulsi (holy basil). It lowers the level of uric acid in the blood, which is is a main culprit for the stones. It breaks down the stones and dulls the pain coming from them. I read that you have to take juice of the leaves with honey daily for 6 months. However, the fresh herb might be hard to get so you can try the powder.

You can also use Apple Cider Vinegar with sodium bicarbonate (pure baking powder) alkalizing remedy at the same time. It is described on this website.

Back to your original question, here are some ways to elevate the blood pressure:

*diet higher in salt

*drinking lots of fluids

*regular exercise to promote blood flow

*avoiding prolonged exposure to hot weather and water (baths)

Good day!!! I just want to ask something about this chanca piedra as cure for hepatitis B. I want to try this CP to cure my Hepa B using this herb but the problem is, when I tried drinking CP decoction after 4days, my blood pressure went down to 90/60 and maybe that's the reason why I have nausea and sometimes diffulty in breathing although I can really feel that gallstones are really moving from my liver. I really want to continue drinking CP tea but I'm worried that it would lower my blood to a very life threatening level. So I would like to ask if what should I do to counteract or reduce the lowering effect in the blood of CP?? Are there any herb/fruit/vegies that I can eat or drink alongside CP which can elevate my blood pressure?? Please help me coz I can feel that my liver is in bad shape already and I really want to try this natural remedy since doctors would only tell me that there is no cure yet for hepatitis B.

I want to know how phyllanthus niruri (chanca piedra) is exstracted locally to treat chronic hepatitis B virus. And where I can get the product of phyllanthus niruri to buy in Ghana.

Mind you the treatment was not easy. It includes strict self - discipline especially when it comes to foods. Avoid all kinds of processed foods, dairy, alcohol, cigarette smoking and other harmful vices. Main foods include mostly green and leafy vegetables and fruits. The treatment was a combination of natural medicine and western medicine. The doctor advised ENTECAVIR (because of high viral load) and the natural doctor prescribed SELENIUM. After 2 years of treatment, HbsAg is non reactive. Take note, the case here is chronic hepatitis b (30 years). Relapse didn't occur because continuation of a healthy living is currently practiced. If I had been cured this means that everyone can be cured from this illness.

Now, if How long and when will you be cured is a difficult question. It's only the Almighty who can answer this. If you want to start treatment, start the changes in your lifestyle. Self - discipline is very much needed and highly essential for the treatment. Next would be laboratory monitoring of Hbsag and Hbeag as well as Sgpt/Sgot. You can do it monthly for at least 3 months to check for the progress of the treatment and if there's a continuous positive result, do it every 2 or 3 months. Treatment is expensive but it is worth it. Good luck

Hi Jingle;

I am sorry.. I bought the chanca piedra because I am having issues with my gallbladder.. I have only drank a few cups so far so I don't know if its working yet... plus I didn't drink it everyday. I just kind of started..

Hi Jingle,

One of the best things about Earth Clinic is that everyone here is on your side, and no one feels you need to follow a certain path because someone recommended it. We have to follow our instincts, while considering what the doctor and others have said. There can be conflicting advice here; it is just people's experiences and opinions. In the end, it's your body and you need to do what seems right to you to heal it. If you decide to stay with the medicine and you recover, please keep us updated so someone else in those shoes may benefit from your experience. Whatever you decide to do, we are all behind you, hoping for your recovery. You are facing a very difficult disease, and the course you take must be one that you feel is best for you. I didn't take anything when I was so ill with Hep A. I think that may have saved me, because the nurses and the doctors offered Tylenol to me many times. Fortunately, I had seen Dr. Rosenberg on TV talking about a possible relationship between Tylenol and liver problems back in the 80's, and took his advice to heart. I didn't know about chanca piedra back then, and Hep A usually resolves itself once the liver starts to recover. It was a good nine months until I could sleep on my right side again - the doctors couldn't find my gall bladder on the sonograms and kept insisting I must have had it removed because the liver was so swollen. But I am well today and you will be, too. Just use your mind and heart, and go with what your gut is telling you. We are all cheering for you, no matter what path you decide to follow. Please keep us posted on your progress and take care.

Jingle,

The article on chanca piedra that Bill has recommended says that British researchers managed to restore liver function to normal in a person with acute hepatitis in only five days using chanca piedra.

Moreover, Dr. Baruch Blumberg, a nobel prize laureate for discovering HBV antigen, reported that chanca piedra can clear up chronic carrier state of Hepatitis B.

Blumberg's research has inspired Indian researchers to do a study on HBV and chanca piedra, and they discovered that Phyllantus amarus extract cleared HBV antigen from 22 of 37 chronic HBV patients in 30 days, and they continued to test negative for 9 months.

Researchers from Copenhaga report that chanca piedra is more effective for in the treatment of HBV than other herbal remedies.

Research group in China has had good results with HBV patients using powder of water extract of chanca piedra. They also report that different species of Phyllanus have different effects.

I think that headaches or any other side-effects from taking the herb might actually be a cleansing reaction, which is something positive.

Take note that chanca piedra should not be taken by pregnant women because it is a uterine relaxant. You also should not take it if you are diabetic or are currently on heart medications (it is hypotensive).

Recommended dosage:

*Alcohol tinctures should not be used

1-3 cups of tea daily

or

2-3g in tablets twice daily

or

2-6ml of water extract 2-3 times daily

Thanks Rsw...

I didn't mean not trusting Bill and you and the ppl here answering my question, helping me...

But feel it is a tough decision just because I just started the medication a few days ago and am scared of stopping it now since it says it will be dangerous if stop within 6 months or 1 year without doctor's words... I wish I could come to this site earlier... I missed the golden chance. I cannot decide what to do, because I'm afraid of worsening the situation and missing the time window to treat the problem.

Rsw, did you take the Chanca Piedra back the time when you were serious in hospital? what helped you to make that decision? did your health get better or are you healed?

Bee, did you take the Chanca piedra? did your health get better or are you healed?

Hi Jingle,

I'd have to say that you know as much as I do about the chanca piedra, but as I was looking at the source, GMO, pesticide and herbicide free qualities, I felt that the Sunfood looked good. The others may be equally fine.

I have been on this site for years, and know you can trust Bill's advice. He is a resourceful researcher and graciously shares his knowledge with us. He is a free thinker and sees connections between illness and ordinary herbs and products that doctors miss. He usually gives studies to back up his advice. So when he says chanca piedra can cure Hep B, I would believe him. I don't know about mixing it with your medicine. I've had severe Hep A and was told by the doctors in the hospital that it could go either way, so I understand your concern about overloading the liver when it is already compromised, but I'm not qualified to advise you on that. I hope you find the answers you are seeking and become totally cured soon.

I bought organic chanca piedra tea from David Wolf and his company Longevity Wharehouse. It wasn't expensive but you will have to get it shipped... I have tried natural stores and no one had it... you can probably also find it online at amazon.com

Hi Rsw:

Thanks a lot for the info. I found there are a few teas on iherb and amazon website. Which one do you recommend (I assume wildcrafted are all organic and have better quality). Will the first one be the best since it is more expensive:-) In addition, do you know if it is safe to take Chanca Piedra and also baraclude? does Chanca piedra really help Hep b?

Most local stores rarely sell most health supplements. you really have to search and buy online.

Hi Jingle, I noticed that Sunfood sells chanca piedra tea that is non-GMO with no herbicides or pesticides, grown in the Amazon. I am assuming this would be an acceptable product. It is currently out of stock on their website, but IHerb sells that brand and it is in stock. Best wishes!

yeah, the reason why it's hard to decide what to do, is I just started the baraclude, and am scared of stopping baraclude now because of the high DNA viral load...As you said, it's OK to take both of them at the same time earlier? but now seems the two things might interfere... any further explanation will be appreciated..

Hi Jingle...As I've said, baraclude is a medicine with significant side effects. From the Baraclude website here are the reported side-effects of baraclude over the long term:

Baraclude can cause serious side effects including:

• Lactic acidosis (buildup of acid in the blood). Some people who have taken BARACLUDE or medicines like BARACLUDE have developed a serious condition called lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis is a serious medical emergency that can cause death and must be treated in the hospital. Reports of lactic acidosis with BARACLUDE generally involved patients who were seriously ill due to their liver disease or other medical condition.Call your healthcare provider right away if you: feel very weak or tired; have unusual (not normal) muscle pain; have trouble breathing; have stomach pain with nausea and vomiting; feel cold (especially in your arms and legs); feel dizzy or light-headed; have a fast or irregular heartbeat.

• Serious liver problems. Some people who have taken medicines like BARACLUDE have developed serious liver problems called hepatotoxicity, with liver enlargement (hepatomegaly) and fat in the liver (steatosis). Hepatomegaly with steatosis is a serious medical emergency that can cause death. Call your healthcare provider right away if: your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice); your urine turns dark; your bowel movements (stools) turn light in color; you don't feel like eating food for several days or longer; you feel sick to your stomach (nausea); you have lower stomach pain

• If you are female, very overweight, or have been taking nucleoside analogue medicines, like BARACLUDE for a long time, you may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or serious liver problems.

Source: http://www.baraclude.com/index.aspx#indication

I'm just hammering the point that I think Baraclude is a particularly dangerous medicine because it can cause body acidosis and is so obviously toxic for the liver and can even cause jaundice/cirrhosis over the longer term.

However, from the research, Chanca piedra has no known overdose limit and no known side-effects for the body over the short or longterm.

So it is safe to take chanca piedra and baraclude at the same time?

From the evidence above, common sense would seem to suggest that chanca piedra is the safer one to take for your condition. If you take baraclude at the same time as chanca piedra, then baraclude will act to weaken the body(acidosis) and weaken the liver(causing jaundice) while, at the same time, the chanca piedra(no side-effects) is trying to defeat the Hep B in order to heal the liver. Simply put, baraclude seems to work against the liver healing and Hep B killing effects of chanca piedra. So if it were me, I would just take only the chanca piedra every day and monitor my viral count and progress on a monthly or tri-monthly basis with the doctor as normal.

Can the chanca piedra eventually clean up all the viral load and change HBsAg to negative?

Yes, chanca piedra can cure Hep B. On the other hand, baraclude is only recommended to lower viral load. Modern medicine has no consistent cure for Hep B.

Also you mentioned to take a low dose of chanca piedra, how many times should I take a day ?

If you're start taking chanca piedra on its own everyday then you should work up to a maximum of four cups of tea a day taken outside mealtimes.

how long should I take chanca piedra?

You can take chanca piedra tea as long as you like. Until you are cured.

I think you or somebody also took Salvia Ligustrum to change the HBsAg to negative? If so, should I introduce Salvia at some point?

You can take Salvia ligustrum with chanca piedra if you wish. But a good organic form of chanca piedra powder should be able to kill off the Hep B virus on its own in my opinion.

You should be able to buy wildcrafted organic chanca piedra online at Amazon or Ebay. I get my own supply of organic chanca piedra from my garden in the Philippines and prepare the herb myself.

Hi Max, I want to start the 3 things -Chanca piedra, Salvia Ligustrum and beta glutan. but couldn't find them in any local store. Where did you buy them? I heard organic high quality is super important. Can you please shed some lights here? Many thanks!

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the quick and thorough answers. That helps a lot!

So it is safe to take chanca piedra and baraclude at the same time? and will the two interfere with each other? If taking both, how can I tell which one is contributing the decrease of viral load - chanca piedra or baraclude?

Can the chanca piedra eventually clean up all the viral load and change HBsAg to negative?

Also you mentioned to take a low dose of chanca piedra, how many times should I take a day ? still 3 ~ 4 times a day, and one cup a time? how long should I take chanca piedra? Can I take the tea forever if there is no side-effect? I think you or somebody also took Salvia Ligustrum to change the HBsAg to negative? If so, should I introduce Salvia at some point?

In US, where can I get the high quality organic chanca piedra tea? Is Whole Foods a good place to go?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Jingle...Chanca piedra is a well-known anti-viral against Hep B and jaundice and is also beneficial against kidney stones and gallstones. I have even read a piece of research where chanca piedra had a high cure rate -- and these people were cured very quickly with Hep B virus levels near zero.

"Two human studies reported chanca piedra's liver protective and detoxifying actions in children with hepatitis and jaundice. Indian researchers reported that chanca piedra was an effective single drug in the treatment of jaundice in children, and British researchers reported that children treated with a chanca piedra extract for acute hepatitis had liver function return to normal within five days. Researchers in China also reported liver protective actions when chanca piedra was given to adults with chronic hepatitis."

Source: Raintree Herbal Databse

Chanca piedra also appears to be effective against liver cancer:

"A 2000 study even documented that chanca piedra increased the life span of mice with liver cancer from thirty-tree weeks (control group without treatment) to fifty-two weeks. Another research group tried to induce liver cancer in mice that had been pre-treated with a water extract of chanca piedra. Their results indicated the chanca piedra extract dose-dependently lowered tumor incidence, levels of carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes, levels of liver cancer markers, and liver injury markers. Both studies indicate that the plant has a better ability to prevent and slow down the growth of tumors rather than a direct toxic effect or ability to kill cancer cells."

Baraclude is commonly used as an anti-viral against Hep B. But this drug does have some significant side effects -- see here. I also think that going to your doctor and asking him or her about whether you should take chanca piedra would be a wasted and costly exercise. Why should a doctor -- who is completely untrained in the use of herbs -- know anything about chanca piedra? So I'm afraid the decision as to how to use the Chanca piedra lies with you alone. Perhaps you can find a knowledgeable naturopath who can help to monitor your progress. The other thing you could perhaps do is start taking the chanca piedra at low dose to see its effects. If these effects are positive, with a reduction in viral load, then you could start to lower the baraclude dosage while increasing the chanca piedra dosage at the same time.

The easiest way to take chanca piedra is as a tea or decoction. Take chanca piedra tea three or four times a day outside mealtimes. Lastly and most importantly, whenever you buy herbs you should always buy the highest quality organic herbs which have minimal have heat or chemical processing involvement. The raw powdered form of organic chanca piedra is best with the most efficacy.

Chanca piedra also has no known side-effects.

As a matter of fact, over the past week or so I've been drinking a strong chanca piedra decoction to help reduce high blood pressure, reduce blood fats, reduce blood sugar, reduce excess blood calcium and to also help reduce high blood pressure. I do this periodically because my diet is certainly not perfect. I simply refer to this as taking out the trash -- all about preventative maintenance.

Hi Bill,

I have read a few posts from you about Chanca Piedra. Want to ask you a few questions:

My liver panel was abnormal about one year ago and had high DNA, but after 2~3 months, the liver panel(ALT, AST and etc) all changed to normal, and DNA decreased to <500; but I didn't monitor them for about year, so in this Jan, I had a test and ALT/AST are mild elevated, but DNA is about 10^7. Following my doctor's words, I just started to take baraclude a few days ago; and the doctor said I will be on the medication for the rest of life. kind of scared...

Say you and a few ppl here cleaned up the virus, so wonder if I can still take Chanca Piedra and Salvia Ligustrum, while I'm taking baraclude at the same time? or I have to stop baraclude?

Meanwhile I'm taking lots of Vitamin C, and some milk thistle and selenium and tumaric and Vitamin B. Are they safe to take? also is Vitamin E safe? Thanks a lot!

I just started the baraclude 0.5mg per day, can I take Chanca Piedra meanwhile? Thanks a lot!

Emmanuel, please help out. Introduce me to the phamacist that helped you get the bht capsule. You could save a life by doing so. Please help me out. I need the capsule and have searched everywhere here in Nigeria. Please help me out, loud I cry.

Hi Venugopal...You should be able to get rid of the HBsAg using the Chanca piedra herb in a tea or decoction. It acts as an anti-viral that directly inhibits the reproduction of HBV.

This plant commonly grows all over India so you should be able to purchase the Chanca piedra tea or powder from any Ayurvedic doctor. Chanca piedra(CP) is called bhumy-amalaki in India. This remedy is cheap and effective. See the research here:

Chanca Piedra Research

I also use CP tea to keep my blood sugar, blood fat and blood pressure at healthier lower levels. A simple CP tea(drunk 3 times a day) will also dissolve and eradicate any gallstones and kidney stones in your body and it will also act as a protective for the kidneys and liver.

I am suffering from HBsAg as I was detected for this virus in 2000 but I have no symptons and as such I married and have 2 children but neither of them till date have no such infections. Mine as per my doctor is reactive is there any way it can be made non reactive. Thanks.

Gary: For Chronic Active Viral Hep I take one 250mg BHT fallowed minutes later w/ one of these three antiviral herbs ---Echinacea, Saint John'sWort, Chanca Piedra, once daily w/ good results.

I would like to know the best drugs that combine effectively with BHT FOR THE QUICK CURE OF HEPATITIS-B AND HOW TO GET THESE DRUGS IN ATHENS Greece as soon as possible. Thanks.

Greetings,
I need your help, I'm Reactive and non reactive of antihbe, can I take those medicine same at once everyday?

Hi Oscar, This is John Jack if you remember me? Hope you're well?

I was on the Yahoo group with you. That group was so good until you deleted it,

Do you or are you on any forum that I can follow you regularly?

My hcv viral load has come down to 7000 till this month, however I reduced my dose sorry to say I've been taking 3 pills a day and it spiked up to 2000 but I'm going to try to go back to the regular dose.

I think by keeping the body saturated with bht regular dose is what keeps it working well, I reduced my dose and kept on getting blood work done as the viral load was reducing.

Take care.

Dear Oscar,

I also have chronic hepatitis B but I have not tried BHT. I have not had much pain but lately I have felt pain on my right side around my lower ribs. I have tried milk thistle and other Chinese herbs and also Ayurveda medicine but I still feel the pain. Could you please let me know your suggestions. Last time my viral load was 2500. I'm going for my next tests in October.

Thanks for your help, Rass

Hello Phany [ Rwanda ].Lamividine and Tenofovil are two different antiviral drugs used to treat hepatitis B. They are NOT BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ]. The chemical structure of both of those antiviral drugs is NOT at all the same as BHT. I looked them up and the chemical structures of both are very different than BHT.

Now are they working for you or not ? Because if they are working perhaps you should continue this treatment. If they are not working BHT is worth a try. It [ BHT ] does work for many people infected with hepatitis B. But so do those drugs you are taking.

Go with what works for you....Oscar

Hello oscar, I followed youth posts and happy to join your conversation, I have HPb virus. I am taking lamividin and tenofovil comprime and I am asking about those BHT that I am seeing on the post. Is it the same or not? thanks

Hi Kumar_pp123,

Where did you buy BHT in India..please help.

Hello Nigerians, I found a company that sells BHT to Nigerians. Here is a direct link to buy BHT from them:
http://www.lef.org/vitamins-supplements/item17137/BHT-Butylated-Hydroxytoluene.html?source=search&key=bht
Now this is " The Life Extension Foundation ". I spoke with a staff member of LEF. She told me she knows of NO reason why you can not purchase BHT from them. The price for non-members is $ 16.50 US dollars for one hundred 350mg capsules of BHT. Now you will need a credit card to buy it or have a friend who will let you use their credit card.

If you join LEF and become a member you can buy the BHT for $12.38 for the same one hundred 350mg capsules.
Here is some more information about LEF along with a phone number if you have any problems:
Nigeria is not listed on the countries with restrictions http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Shipping/Shipping-Information.htm? Do recall there sometimes being problems with credit cards from that country. If you were informed that they couldn't buy the product from us, you are welcome to contact Customer Service 1 800 678 8989 or http://[email protected] to find out.

So I very much hope this resolves this problem for Nigerians. I do recommend you start out with 1/2 of a capsule for at least a few days to make sure you have no problem with using BHT. The capsules are easy to pull apart. Then just fold the remainder in a piece of paper for the next dose. Also: I very much advise taking BHT with water only on an empty stomach for best results.
Also: Please report back to the EARTH CLINIC and let me know if this works out for you people. Also: You people need to boil any water you drink to ensure it is safe to drink. The same is true for everyone because so much of the entire world`s water is no loner safe to drink unless it is boiled first....Oscar

Quick follow up to Nigerians: There may be other payment options for buying BHT from Life Extension Foundation. Such as a BANK CHECK or MONEY ORDER if you do not have a valid credit card. You can speak with a customer service representative at: 1-800-678-8989. This is a good company. If you don`t screw them around they will sell the BHT at a good price. I have purchased BHT from them for many years. It is a good product based on my experience with them. So this should solve this problem. I still do not know what the problem was to begin with. There are NO trade restrictions regarding Nigerians buying BHT according to the woman I spoke with. She does state there were problems with Nigerians and credit cards. So if you try and scam or cheat them with invalid credit cards don`t blame me or them. I do know most Nigerians are good people but I have learned there are some Nigerians who try and scam people. The same is true of some Americans so I am NOT judging Nigerians per se. As far as I know there is NO reason you can not buy BHT from LEF. If you want this BHT do NOT try and screw them around with invalid credit card numbers. It is up to you to establish trust with these people by being honest and using valid funds. I went to the trouble to find a retailer for you. Don`t make me live to regret doing so....Oscar

Dear TimH, I always appreciate hearing from you and know that in spite of your own serious health problems you are here helping other people.

I do not want to say much about politics. But we can NEVER give up hope for America. Our Nation has gotten through MANY difficult times including poor leadership. Please hang in there and keep faith in that fact. The problems we face as a nation never end. The same is true for many Nations. But America at this time is the ONLY hope the world has. There are MANY Americans dedicated to seeing our Nation and the rest of the world through these difficult times. Hang in there and keep the faith alive.

I do not have any big answers to the problems we all face. I, like you, try and do what good I can. Hang in there friend, ...Oscar

@Oscar: I am very sorry to hear of your persecutions and am glad you have the courage to voice them.

I too lost my privacy about 25 yrs ago because I am a conservative Christian Artist. It's not widely known that gov authorities have long been antagonistic to those who really know what's going on. I watched a foreign film about 2yrs ago of a small community of artist and idealist in post Nazi Germany (forget the title) who were under constant illegal surveillance from gov, then personally followed and trapped into something or other for crimes of treason. Anyway, ever since I got disabled especially, and to some degree a few yrs before, I have had to be very careful to always watch my back and soon found it necessary to get certified to carry a concealed deadly weapon.

Fast forward to the recent past and I have been routinely denied medical diagnostics of verifiable symptoms as reported to md's and then dr worked up a case of mental illness, denied me home health and recommended entry level psychological counseling. As I am a conservative Christian w/ a Major in Psychology from an accredited university I abruptly refused and was then told I would need to be institutionalized. After reviewing the liberal political circumstances of Ky's Medicaid provided healthcare (of which I am reduced) and also the liberal dc obamacare policies gutting medicare and home health, it seems quite obvious that the "practice of medicine" follows very closely w/ the controlling political agendas.

It is so sad to witness the collapse of what was once a great country, but the big liberals are having the time of their life and everything is going their way, while we conservatives are suffering opposition & persecution. The way I see it, this world is theirs and the next world is ours. I think Christ's Sermon On The Mount says it very well on a variety of injustices heaped upon the good folks "blessed are you".

I am grateful for what little I do have in this world and am glad to share healing remedies here on E.C. so maybe others won't get so far down as is my misfortune.

Hope you can wiggle yourself from the worst of such bad circumstances as seems you had the fortune to have already w/ an a-political dr of psychiatry.

Dear Emmanuel from Lagos, Nigeria, I can NOT buy BHT for you because of the mistrust between the USA and Nigeria. I know there are many good Nigerians, but there are some who are considered terrorists by the USA. Also, I am on an American FBI watch list because of our President [ Obama`s ] " operation vigilant eagle ". This Obama policy places all war veterans on said watch list and I am a war veteran. This is a serious issue for me. I was placed in or on a psychiatric lock ward last year when I went to the VA [ Veterans Administration ] for help for pain resulting from an old but severe gunshot wound to and through my abdomen. They took me into custody and sent me to this lock ward. You are locked up and considered a mental case. Luckily I got a good psychiatrist who realized this was non-sense and saw to it I got released in about one week.

So I am in a situation where I am already being watched by US authorities for being a war veteran. If you think that is BS you can learn about operation " Vigilant Eagle " here: http://pamelageller.com/2013/05/obama-war-on-free-speech-targets-our-vets-operation-vigilant-eagle.html/

In conclusion: You Nigerians need to find your own sources for BHT. I can not help you with that.

Also, I do NOT know what these other medications you are on are and have no way of knowing how they will effect the BHT treatment. There was an African who was infected with both hepatitis B and malaria who did very well using the BHT along with his malaria treatment. Also an AIDS patient who did VERY well using BHT to treat his hepatitis C type 1a infection [ HCV type 1a ] is the hardest to treat. He cut his HCV viral load in half in one week using BHT while on his AIDS medicine which was PLEXARA or something like that. My point being the BHT seems to work well with at least some potent other anti-virals and also some malaria treatments. But do keep the treatment as simple as you can with the understanding that you may need these prescribed medicines. I wish I could be of more help to you. For the reasons I discussed: I need to be careful to protect myself from USA authorities. This is the sort of crap that happens when trust breaks down between peoples governments. Good people have a hard time helping each other....Oscar
