Some very common over the counter herbal remedies and vitamins are particularly damaging to you if you are Hep C Positive.

Do research on all of the following:

TYLENOL!!!!! (And think twice before taking aspirin and iboprofen, also, but take them INSTEAD of tylenol, if you need to.)

IRON!!!! Ditch any vitamins that have iron in them. This is what Hep C viruses use to replicate!!

CELANDINE

CHAPPAREL: INCREASES the RATE of liver damage.

COMFREY: obstructs blood flow to the liver, increasing the rate of fibrosis and cirrhosis damge

GERMANDER

LOBELIA

Menolly - is this a case of two minds thinking alike?

You would think that we were only two feet away!

Lets pull this into the other thread?
