Remember, nutritional supplements and herbal infusions are not able to cure hepatitis. But their use relieves the symptoms of the disease and prevents the occurrence of serious complications. With hepatitis C, it is useful to cleanse the liver.

In the morning after waking up, you should drink half a liter of natural water at room temperature. After half an hour, you need to drink freshly squeezed apple or grape juice. An alternative would be two tablespoons of olive oil.

Next, you need to lie on your left side, and put a warm heating pad on your right side and cover yourself with a warm blanket. The procedure takes two hours. Then you should get up, take a few deep breaths and squats. At the end of the procedure, you are allowed to eat.

All home treatments should be discussed with your doctor.

In order to improve their emotional and physical health, patients should adhere to the following rules. Rest: Patients with hepatitis C suffer from chronic fatigue, so they need extra time free from work.

Moderate exercise: exercise will help you recharge with the energy and strength necessary to fight the virus. Proper diet: the disease is accompanied by a deterioration in appetite and bouts of nausea, so it is extremely important to follow the regimen. Patients should refuse food that irritates the liver.

Refusal of bad habits: the main element of the treatment process for hepatitis C is the complete exclusion of substances that harm the liver, namely tobacco, alcohol and drugs.

Consider alternative medicine recipes that have not been mentioned yet:

• freshly squeezed carrot juice. It contains a large amount of vitamin A, which is able to cleanse the liver and restore damaged organ cells;
• cabbage juice. Three times a day, you should drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice. You can also add some beet juice there;
• physiotherapy. It is enough to perform simple exercises: walking, rubbing in the liver area, push-ups, tilts and turns with the body, etc.;

In order to speed up the healing process, you should not forget about dieting. Products must be crushed. Food should be comfortably warm; cold or too hot dishes should not be consumed. Preference should be given to products in which vegetable fibers predominate.

Hepatitis C develops as a result of infection of the body with one of the viruses. Most often, this occurs as a result of a transfusion of contaminated blood, the use of injection needles alone, tattooing with an unsterile instrument, or during unprotected sex with a sick person. This type of hepatitis is considered one of the most dangerous.

Characteristic symptoms

As a rule, signs of infection appear approximately on the 50th day after the virus enters the body. A person's appetite may worsen, weakness, pain in the right hypochondrium may appear. Sometimes nausea and bloating may indicate the disease.

When infected, pathogenic microorganisms penetrate the liver and begin to multiply in it. Cells at the same time gradually begin to be replaced by fibrous tissue. The disease is dangerous because in most cases it is asymptomatic. Although many simply do not pay attention to the weakness that has appeared, fatigue, and frequent belching.

Also, experts know that even a runny nose, cough, muscle and joint pain are among the signs of hepatitis, if they are accompanied by darkening of the urine and lightening of the feces.

In some cases, it is quite possible to get rid of a disease such as hepatitis C. Treatment with folk remedies is also very popular. But it is better to combine methods of alternative medicine with traditional therapy. This will speed up recovery and put the liver in order.

Traditional treatment

Many, having heard their diagnosis, are in no hurry to follow the doctor's prescriptions and purchase the necessary medicines. But it is worth remembering that infusions and decoctions of herbs can only temporarily alleviate the condition, they do not have pronounced antiviral properties, therefore, with their help, hepatitis C cannot be completely overcome. Treatment with folk remedies for genotype 1 b is undesirable. After all, this type is generally poorly amenable to therapy. It is also difficult to remove the virus from the bodies of people over 40 years old and those who have a weakened immune system.

For treatment, doctors often prescribe the drug "Interferon-alpha" in combination with "Riboverin". Therapy always consists in taking effective antiviral agents. Only with a competent approach to treatment can irreversible changes in the liver be prevented. These include cirrhosis and cancer.

Complex therapy

In most cases, even doctors advise using a number of non-traditional methods to alleviate the condition. But if you found some recipe yourself, then before using it, it is better to consult an infectious disease specialist or at least a therapist. After all, some herbs are toxic, and therefore they can only harm the liver.

Both doctors and traditional healers agree that a diet is necessary if you have been diagnosed with viral liver damage. It is also advisable to start limiting yourself if you have symptoms inherent in a disease such as hepatitis C. Both the treatment of folk remedies and the methods of traditional therapy can alleviate the condition.

To increase the effectiveness of treatment, it is necessary to abandon canned foods, fatty, smoked, fried foods, and alcohol. It is also important to minimize the amount of spices and seasonings used.

Alternative medicine methods

Traditional healers offer a lot of options on how to overcome hepatitis C. Treatment with folk remedies reduces the load on the liver, so the patient's condition can temporarily normalize. But this does not mean that herbs help neutralize the virus. This must be remembered if you decide to completely abandon the methods of traditional medicine.

Often, herbalists recommend using various infusions and decoctions prepared from one or more herbs. Milk, mummy, oats, lemons are also used. Juices are popular. To improve the condition, you need to completely revise your diet and change your diet.

Popular herbs

To improve the condition and normalize the functions of the liver, many healers recommend using various infusions. Let's consider some of them.

To prepare a healing drink you will need:

2 parts of celandine grass, calendula flowers, dandelion roots, fennel fruits, corn stigmas;

3 parts St. John's wort;

4 parts of birch leaves and cudweed grass;

5 rose hips.

All herbs, leaves and flowers must be crushed and mixed thoroughly. The infusion is prepared as follows. 4 tbsp. l. personally made mixture is poured with a liter of boiling water and infused for at least 7 hours. It is necessary to use the infusion three times a day before meals. But this is not the only possible treatment with folk remedies.

You can also try to fight hepatitis C with corn stigmas alone. This recipe is also known to those who suffer from gallbladder problems. A tablespoon of stigmas is poured with a glass of boiling water and infused for a couple of hours. Drink infusion of 3 tbsp. l. four times a day. You can also make a decoction of them. To do this, pour 3 tbsp into 0.5 liters of boiling water. l. corn stigmas. Drink a decoction of 0.5 cups.

Herbalists also recommend this recipe. Tansy, mint, immortelle, cumin, horsetail, celandine, dandelion, shepherd's purse and verbena are mixed in equal proportions. Rose hips, birch leaves and corn stigmas are also added to this mixture. A spoonful of the prepared dry crushed mixture is poured with a glass of boiling water and infused for 7 hours. Strained infusion is drunk 1/3 cup about 15 minutes before each meal. According to healers, it has choleretic, antimicrobial, antiviral and blood-purifying properties. They say that people who drink this medicine forget that they had hepatitis C.

Treatment with folk remedies can also be carried out using the root of marsh calamus. The infusion is made from 1 tsp. raw materials and a glass of boiling water. You can drink the medicine already 20 minutes after preparation - ½ cup before meals. The interval between taking infusion and food should be about 30 minutes.

It is important to follow all the recommendations for the preparation and use of decoctions if you have hepatitis C. Treatment with folk remedies (milk thistle herb, for example, is also very popular) will not give a positive result if you take infusions somehow. The mentioned herb is effective in various liver diseases, including viral hepatitis, cirrhosis and cholelithiasis. It contributes to the restoration of the cells of this organ. To prepare the medicine, it is necessary to pour 60 g of milk thistle seeds with a liter of water and boil over low heat until the volume of the broth is reduced by half. After that, it can be turned off, strained and poured into a jar. The medicine is drunk for 1 tbsp. l. every hour for 12 waking hours for 21 days. After that, you should take a two-week break, after which the course must be repeated, regardless of how you feel.

Healthy teas

Many healers recommend preparing not only infusions. Mixtures of herbs can be brewed like ordinary tea, infused for about 10-30 minutes, filtered and drunk. For example, rowan leaves are effective if you have been diagnosed with hepatitis C. Treatment with folk remedies is primarily aimed at restoring liver cells. And rowan is a proven remedy. To prepare tea, 30 g of leaves and 0.5 liters of boiling water are used. It is infused for 30 minutes and drunk a glass a day.

Many recommend healing herbal tea. It is prepared from milk thistle, St. John's wort, mint, chamomile, rosehip, wormwood and hop cones. All these components are mixed. Each tablespoon of the mixture is poured with a glass of boiling water and infused for about 10 minutes. Tea is drunk hot in ¼ cups during meals. The course of treatment lasts 30 days, after a month it must be repeated.

You can be treated with ordinary tea, in which healing sugar will be added. For the preparation of the latter, ordinary celandine is used. It is necessary to squeeze the juice out of it and drip 2-3 drops on refined sugar. In order for it to become as useful as possible, it must be left for a couple of months in a warm place. With the help of tea sweetened with such sugar, you can cope with a terrible disease called hepatitis C. Treatment with folk remedies (celandine in particular) also includes the preparation of infusions from a mixture of herbs.

Atypical recipes

Some methods of supporters of alternative medicine are questionable, but, nevertheless, people try to forget what hepatitis C is with their help. Treatment with folk remedies, reviews of which are quite often positive, can be very non-standard.

So, healers suggest using lemon to fight the disease. To do this, the juice of one citrus fruit must be mixed with 1 tsp. soda. The prepared mixture is consumed in the morning on an empty stomach. It is said that four days is enough to forget about the signs of jaundice, which often accompanies hepatitis C.

Treatment with folk remedies (horseradish root, by the way, is one of the components of many recipes) should be aimed at fighting viruses, renewing the body's strength and restoring liver cells. To combat infectious hepatitis, healers recommend mixing horseradish root passed through a meat grinder and May honey in equal amounts. The resulting medicine is infused for 3 days, after which it must be consumed 3 hours after each meal for 40 days.

If possible, you should also make a special healing tincture. To do this, in June, you need to pick horseradish leaves, put them tightly in a three-liter bottle and pour vodka. The drug is infused for a week, and then taken 1 tsp, stirred in ¼ cup of water, half an hour before meals.

There are also other methods by which hepatitis C is treated with folk remedies. Reviews indicate that the use of horseradish root infusion gives a good effect. It is prepared in the following way. The root is rubbed on a grater so that porridge is obtained. It is poured with boiling water at the rate of 1 liter of liquid per 0.5 kg of horseradish. The medicine is infused throughout the day. After that, the infusion is filtered, the thick is squeezed out. The resulting liquid is drunk ¼ cup before meals.

Application of oats

There are highly effective and at the same time quite budgetary methods of treating such a viral disease as hepatitis C. Treatment with folk remedies (oats in this matter is an excellent helper) should have a choleretic effect and promote the regeneration of liver cells. For these purposes, you can make a special decoction.

A glass of pure oat grains is ground into powder (this can be done using a blender, coffee grinder and mortar with a crusher), sieved and poured with a liter of boiling water. To this amount, you also need to add 2 tbsp. l. sugar and a pinch of salt. The composition is mixed and brought to a boil over a fire. After that, it must be simmered for literally 5 minutes and removed from the stove. The cooled broth is taken ½ or even a whole glass after a meal.

There is another method by which viral hepatitis C is treated with folk remedies. It involves the preparation of a decoction of 300 g of oat grains and 3 liters of water. The medicine is put on fire, they wait for it to boil and cook without a lid for 20 minutes. After that, the broth must be cooled and poured into containers. It is necessary to drink 0.75 liters per day, it is desirable to seize the liquid with honey. The course of such treatment should last 3 months.

Mumiyo is a universal product

Getting rid of liver diseases, you can significantly improve your well-being. For these purposes, many recommend the use of mummy. This organo-mineral product stimulates the work of all organs, improves blood circulation, has an antitoxic and tonic effect.

For treatment, it is recommended to dilute 4 g of this remedy in warm milk. To increase the effectiveness of therapy, you can add grape juice and honey there. It is recommended to eat it with homemade raw chicken eggs. Mumiyo is taken for a month.

But this is not the only recipe that is remembered when it is necessary to carry out treatment with folk remedies. Hepatitis C responds better to drug therapy, but if you are an ardent opponent of traditional medicine, you can adopt several available methods from the arsenal of healers. For example, prepare a potion with the same organo-mineral product. Shilajit can be diluted in water at the rate of 0.5 g per 0.5 l of liquid. The prepared solution is taken in 1 tbsp. l. before meals (about half an hour) for 24 days. After that, it is advisable to take a ten-day break, and after it ends, repeat the course. For repeated treatment, 0.7 g of mummy is already used for the same amount of water. After each course, you must drink an infusion of herbs for 10 days. For its preparation, yarrow, St. John's wort, horsetail and chicory are mixed. A collection spoon is poured with 200 ml of boiling water and simmered in a water bath for 30 minutes. Drink a decoction of 1/3 cup.

Treatment during pregnancy

There are situations when it is better to trust professionals. You should not engage in healing if you have hepatitis C while carrying a baby. Treatment with folk remedies during pregnancy can be dangerous for both the health of the mother and her baby.

If you still want to try alternative medicine methods on yourself, then at least give up the use of herbs. There are many other relatively harmless methods that can be used to alleviate your condition if you have been diagnosed with hepatitis C.

Treatment with folk remedies can be like this. For therapy, milk mixed with birch charcoal powdered into dust is used.

Also, many advise drinking pumpkin juice. The porridge from this product is also useful. It is cooked on water, and before the end of cooking, milk is poured into it. Also at the end, you can add a small amount of hercules to it. Porridge will not lose its beneficial properties if it is sweetened.

Mustard oil is also considered useful for hepatitis. It can also be used by expectant mothers. It helps cleanse the liver. They replace ordinary oil, you can fry or season salads with it.

Traditional healers recommend that everyone use carrots for treatment. To do this, 1 kg of grated vegetable is poured into 0.5 liters of boiled water. After an hour, the mixture must be filtered and squeezed thick through gauze. ¾ cup cranberry juice and ½ lemon juice are added to the mixture. The prepared drink is drunk three times a day for ¼ cup.

But it is worth remembering that it is necessary to control the state of your health even if you decide to abandon traditional treatment.

For therapeutic and prophylactic purposes in case of liver diseases, honey is recommended to be used in the morning (30-50 g) with the addition of royal jelly (one spoon for mustard), and in the afternoon - a tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of bee bread (Yu. V. Stamboliu, 1974). A mixture of one spoonful of honey with apple juice is effective, taken in the morning and evening (M. I. Schmidt, 1968).

25. Air marsh. For hepatitis, an infusion of rhizomes is used, which is prepared as follows: pour a teaspoon of crushed raw materials with a glass of boiling water, leave for 20 minutes, strain. Drink 4 times a day for 1/2 cup 30 minutes before meals.

The liver is the filter for neutralizing all poisons. In patients with liver disease, a large amount is administered intravenously glucose. Replacing it with reception honey presents a number of advantages. Treatment with honey has recently been confirmed by good indicators. At the same time, folk healers advise taking honey with apple juice (in the morning and in the evening, 1 teaspoon of honey and half a glass of juice). Doctors and traditional healers successfully treat infectious jaundice and hepatitis with the help of honey.

Unique means of the famous doctor P. M. Kurennova

Many suffering from this disease have spent a lot of money trying to get rid of it and ... still cured. For the successful treatment of the liver, there is a Russian folk remedy - corn hairs, or fibers.

When the leaves are plucked from the corn cob, many hairs, or fibers, are found under them. It is these hairs that should be brewed (in a teapot) and drunk like tea. The treatment time sometimes lasts about six months. In order for the treatment to be successful, the corn fruit must be ripe. Fibers from an unripe fruit have no healing power.

Doctor N. W. Walker recommends that liver sufferers drink fresh juice from the following four vegetables: carrots, celery, endive(a plant from the genus "chicory") and parsley. On the every 16 ounces of the mixture should take carrot juice 7 ounces, celery 5 and the rest two ounces.

Remedies for stones

Pass one glass through the meat grinder hemp seed. Mix with. three glasses of raw, unpasteurized milk, reduced to one glass, strain hot and drink on an empty stomach one glass a day in within five days. Repeat ten days later. There is nothing spicy. Seizures from pain in the liver are possible, but must be endured. A year later, repeat the course of treatment, and, according to many healers, a complete cure is beyond doubt.

A. Fast for twenty-four hours. During this time, you can drink water. After 24 hours, you need to give an enema. One hour after the enema, drink one glass olive oil and one glass of grapefruit juice (a fruit obtained by crossing an orange with a lemon) at the same time, that is, one must drink one after the other. This is usually followed by severe nausea. To avoid vomiting, lie down and suck on a lemon. You can't drink water. In case of acute thirst, you can drink one sip of salt water, but it is better to overcome thirst and not drink water at all.

Fifteen minutes after taking Provencal oil with grapefruit juice, you need to drink one and a half glasses of laxative. 15 minutes after taking this laxative (or whenever you want), you can drink water. Gotta keep on starving and in a day you need to drink Provencal oil again with grapefruit juice, that is, you need to repeat the same procedure as described above. Then, when the stomach is cleared, it is necessary to monitor whether the stones come out. They float in the urine and are greenish, brownish, and sometimes creamy in color. When the urine cools, the stones will settle to the bottom. You should continue to take olive oil with grapefruit juice (and, of course, continue to starve) until the stones have all dissolved. It is not uncommon to have to take this medicine for five, six, and sometimes even seven days to dissolve all the stones. We must remember that there are very strong pains. Before starting treatment, an x-ray should be taken in order to know how big the stones are, how many and where they are. At the end of treatment, it is useful to take an x-ray to make sure that the stones have completely disappeared.

B. Renowned American Naturopath Doctor Mac Ferrin recommends drinking beetroot juice for a very long period of time and claims that the stones will dissolve gradually and relatively painlessly.

B. Take a few heads of beets, peel, wash and boil them. Then continue to cook this mixture until it becomes almost like syrup. Drink three-quarters of a glass several times a day. Experts say that gallstones will dissolve pretty soon.

Healing remedy for pain

For pain in the liver and tumors, you need a quarter cup of good olive oil mix with a quarter cup "grapefruit". It should be drunk at night, not earlier than two hours after eating, after making an enema to clear the stomach. Then lie down in bed on your right side. Repeat the enema in the morning. This can be done after four or five days again, as needed.

Moderately hot heating pad on the liver area

Dr. Zalmanov attached great importance to the liver as an organ. With him, an ordinary rubber heating pad filled with hot water played a significant therapeutic role. She plays the same role in our medical center, replacing a bunch of pharmaceuticals for each patient.

What does this very simple, even primitive at first glance, medical procedure give our body? She delivers amazing results! Let me remind you once again that everything ingenious is simple. Zalmanov's medical genius lies precisely in the fact that he saw universal, powerful and at the same time safe for the body therapeutic agents in the simplest things at first glance.

Returning to the liver, I note that it is a key organ of our body. It is responsible for many biological processes occurring in it. The most important of them is metabolism - the exchange of almost all substances that enter our body from the outside or are formed inside it endogenously. At the time of Zalmanov, medicine knew about 30 biochemical functions of the liver, and he predicted that researchers would discover at least 130 more such functions in it. Also, the most important bioprocess that takes place in our body is blood circulation, and the liver takes part in it much more than is commonly believed in orthodox medicine.

The volume of blood flowing through the vessels of the liver for one hour is about 100 liters.

Due to stagnation of blood, the liver in sick people very often increases in volume. This leads to the following mechanical consequences. The mobility of the diaphragm - our second venous heart - decreases and the base of the right lung is compressed; there is stagnation of blood in the venous system of the portal vein; there is stagnation of blood in the blood lakes of the liver and spleen, which leads to the exclusion of a large volume of blood from the entire circulation, including from the small circle. This, in turn, prevents the respiratory movements of the diaphragm. Further, venous congestion occurs in the organs of the abdominal and thoracic cavities, and the pumping function of the heart decreases.

Hepatocytes - liver cells - are tiny, but do not stop their most important work day or night. Gathered together, like a research-and-production chemical-pharmaceutical association, they carry out detoxification of the state - our body, neutralize and remove toxins that accumulate in it around the clock into the intestines. They also neutralize fatigue toxins that are formed in us during the day during mental and physical work. If the liver cells do not remove toxic substances from the body well, then a night's sleep does not bring us a feeling of rest and we wake up tired, sometimes even more tired than before going to bed.

From the point of view of blood circulation, the liver and spleen are closely interconnected and actually represent a close functional synergy, that is, a functional community in venous blood irrigation of the abdominal organs through the large portal vein system. When the liver and spleen are enlarged, they lift the diaphragm upward, and it becomes almost immobile. Too elevated diaphragm compresses the bases of both lungs, causing alveolar and circulatory stagnation in the lower parts of the lungs. The use in this case of a moderately hot heating pad causes a decrease in the volume of the liver and spleen, which begin to support the diaphragm less from below, it goes down, unblocking the lungs. The lungs increase the amplitude of their respiratory movements, ventilation improves in the alveoli, bronchioles and bronchi, stagnation of fluids disappears, and with it its consequences disappear: bronchitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, emphysema.

If the liver and spleen are very enlarged, a hot heating pad on the liver area should be applied systematically for at least 40 minutes 3 times a day after meals. With a slight increase in these synergistic (friendly) organs, it is enough to put a heating pad 1-2 times a day. Rinse, warm, feed your liver with live (that is, from fresh fruits and vegetables) sugar. When you warm up your liver, you raise the temperature of the blood in the blood pools of the liver and spleen and activate the blood flow in their capillaries, thus achieving an increase in the volume of blood circulating in your body.

Typically, a heating pad is used to relieve abdominal pain. But in fact, it must be used to avoid pain in the abdominal cavity. This simple and inexpensive medical procedure is of invaluable preventive value if used regularly and for a long time, for months and years. Approximately 2-4 weeks after starting this simple thermal hydro-therapy, the pinched diaphragm begins to unblock. Her breathing movements become fuller and more forceful. External and cellular respiration, blood circulation in the vessels, general nutrition of tissues and cells (trophic) are improved for the benefit of the whole organism. The influx of calories of thermal energy of moderately hot water contained in a heating pad applied to the liver area reduces the body's need for increased nutrition.

Zalmanov did not know a treatment simpler, deeper and more effective than the application of a hot heating pad to the liver area. He urged the sick and healthy to wash their livers in this way every day, just as we wash our hands and face every day. “You need to warm up the liver if you want to live longer and get sick less often. Without a heating pad for the liver, it is impossible to cure or treat a single chronic disease, ”Dr. Zalmanov liked to say.

With age, the mass of the liver and the blood flow in it decrease. Between the ages of 30 and 70, liver volume decreases by 28%, and blood flow by 25-35%. At the same time, studies of the activity of liver enzymes and the study of the protein-synthetic function of the liver indicate that they are not significantly affected by age.

The synthetic function of the liver is well characterized by the concentration of specific plasma proteins. The simplest indicator of plasma protein concentration is ESR, which increases in adults by 0.22 mm / h per 1 year of life due to a small increase in the concentration of globulins and fibrinogen.

The lower limit and mean reference range of total protein concentration in blood serum slightly decrease with age. The content of albumin in decreases by 10-15% in the range from 30 to 80 years. The concentration of total protein in the blood remains constant after the age of 55, since an increase in the level of acute phase proteins (acidic and g glycoprotein, serum amyloid protein) and globulins level out the decrease in albumin concentration.

Although this decrease in albumin levels is not sufficient to be clinically significant, it may reflect a declining hepatic reserve capacity and contribute to changes in the transport functions of albumin (eg, as a drug and calcium carrier). This must be taken into account when choosing the dosage of drugs. A decrease in the concentration of albumin in the blood causes competition between various drugs for the remaining free binding center of the protein, as a result of which, with a lack of such free centers, the amount of the active fraction of the drug increases. This phenomenon, along with reduced blood flow in the liver, leading to a decrease in the rate of drug metabolism, as well as a decrease in renal filtration (especially if the drug has a limited distribution in body media), can lead to an increase in pharmacological action and the occurrence of side effects. Simultaneously with albumin, the concentration of another carrier protein, transferrin, decreases in the elderly.

Liver enzyme activity may decrease, increase, or remain unchanged with age. Patterns of changes in the activity of enzymes are given in table. .

The activity of AST and ALT is slightly increased in older women, taking estrogen preparations can also increase the activity of ALT in the blood.

In older women in menopause, alkaline phosphatase activity increases by 40% compared with young women. This change reflects the hormonal disturbances inherent in this period of life, but may also be associated with subclinical osteomalacia due to hyperparathyroidism. Although the activity of alkaline phosphatase in women is lower than in men in all age groups, it can reach the level of activity in men in the period of 60-90 years. Alkaline phosphatase activity in older men is 10% higher than in young men.

A protective increase in GGTP activity, a sensitive marker of liver dysfunction in men and women, occurs between the ages of 60 and 90 years.

The concentration of bilirubin in blood serum, reflecting the excretory function of the liver and hepatobiliary system, almost does not change with age.

The liver contains a huge amount of enzymes, which determines its participation in many metabolic processes of the human body. With the exception of those substances that are transported through the mesenteric lymphatic vessels, all substances that come with food necessarily pass through the liver before being distributed and deposited in the body.

The most important functions of the liver include:

1) biosynthesis of substances that function and are used in other organs, for example, ketone bodies, blood plasma proteins, glucose, fats;

2) the synthesis of urea as the end product of nitrogen metabolism in the body;

3) digestive function due to the synthesis of bile acids, the formation and secretion of bile;

4) neutralization of toxic substances formed in the body or coming from outside;

5) excretion of metabolic products with bile into the intestines, removal of excess cholesterol, as well as the resulting bile acids, heme breakdown products (bile pigments) and other metabolites resulting from the neutralization of substances in the liver.

The liver consists of a relatively small number of individual cell types, but at the same time, the numerous functions of this organ are reflected in the complex morphological structure of cellular structures.

According to the numerical ratio, 80% of liver cells are hepatocytes; approximately 15% are endothelial cells, of which approximately 40% are the so-called Kupffer cells. Most of the hepatocytes are located in plates formed from two layers of cells, bile ducts are located between them. The outer surfaces of the plates, loosely covered with endothelial cells, go into sinusoids. The latter are modified vessels (capillaries) through which mixed arterial-venous blood circulates: the venous blood comes from the portal vein, the arterial blood comes from the hepatic artery.

In view of this structural feature, hepatocytes have one part of their surface in contact with blood (in the sinusoids), and the other with bile in the bile ducts. By and large, the liver functions as a filtration system, as the blood is “processed” before the filtrate enters the central vein. Therefore, the basis of the normal functioning of the liver is the integrity of the connections between individual cells and their blood vessels.

About 1.2 liters of blood flows through the liver in 1 minute, of which 70% enters through the portal vein, which collects blood from the digestive tract. This position of the liver ensures its important role in the chain of transformation of substances absorbed from the intestine, and in the regulation of their concentration in the blood.

The relationship of hepatocytes with the vascular system changes both during fetal life and undergoes quite significant changes at the birth of a child. The umbilical vessels, through which the fetal liver was supplied with oxygenated blood from the maternal circulation, close, allowing less oxygenated blood to enter the liver from the portal vein. Corresponding changes in metabolic processes can partly explain the observed violations of liver function in the first 2 weeks after birth.

The liver of a newborn performs the following main functions: maintaining homeostasis (constant blood composition, etc.), glucose in conditions of great brain demand for this product, binding and excretion of bilirubin from the body, formation and secretion of bile components. In the liver, in addition, detoxification of medicinal substances and activation of certain substances are carried out to protect the body from the absorption of endotoxins and microorganisms.

Neutralization of substances consists in their chemical modification, which usually includes two phases. In the first of these, the substance undergoes oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis. In the second, some substance is added to these groups and already in a bound form (conjugation reaction) is excreted from the body. In some cases, the neutralization proceeds only one phase - either the first or the second. Many substrates are partially or completely removed without any changes at all.

The mechanisms of metabolism and detoxification of foreign compounds in newborns are not well developed. Thus, the immaturity of the mechanisms of neutralization (oxidation and conjugation) of drugs, characteristic of the fetal liver, is apparently a biological defense mechanism, since the conversion of fat-soluble drugs into their derivatives can pose a serious danger to the development of the fetus. Improving the metabolic processes in the liver contributes to the survival of the fetus, which is carried out by the development of specific enzyme systems in response to the action of the environment through the maternal bloodstream or intestinal absorption in the newborn. Violation of the relationship, as well as the synchronism of the above processes as a result of exposure to an excessive amount of exogenous or endogenous toxins, can have pronounced consequences for the newborn.

It should be noted that a decrease in the effectiveness of some drugs can be observed due to an increase in the rate of chemical modification reactions and their binding by the liver. It has been proven that some drugs inhibit (suppress) the activity of enzymes involved in the binding (conjugation) reaction. In particular, a fairly effective inhibitor (a substance that inhibits the activity of enzymes) is phenobarbital, used to prevent and treat neonatal jaundice.

Nuclear jaundice is a disease that threatens the integrity of the central nervous system and even the very life of the newborn. Since in children of the first year of life, in the process of bilirubin metabolism, a sufficiently large intake of it into the internal environment of the body occurs, immediately after birth, the mechanisms of bilirubin conversion in the liver are sharply activated. A healthy newborn copes with increased levels of bilirubin (hyperbilirubinemia) during the first 3-4 days of life.

The group of hereditary diseases, such as hepatosis pigmentosa, includes Gilbert-Meulengracht, Crigler-Najjar, Dubin-Johnson and Rotor syndromes.

When the urine becomes dark due to the presence of bile, it is very difficult to drink. In this case, in order for urine to circulate better; through the kidneys, more fluid is needed. In accordance with the experience gained, after the start of urine intake, it quickly acquires a more pleasant taste.

Start urinary therapy by rubbing urine into your feet and hands, allowing you to get used to it. Then try to drink it in a small amount, drinking water if necessary. If the first urine in the morning is very concentrated, then discard it and use the next urine obtained after drinking heavily or fruit juice.

Viral hepatitis

The main signs of this group of diseases are predominant liver damage and manifestations of general intoxication.

Viral hepatitis is caused by viruses belonging to different families (hepatitis A, B, C, D, E). The main route of infection for hepatitis A and E is fecal-oral. The source of infection is a sick person, a carrier of any form of hepatitis A or E. A person becomes infected through dirty water, unwashed food. Children are more likely to get hepatitis A, adults are more likely to get hepatitis E.

The route of transmission of the virus in hepatitis B, C and D is parenteral: through the blood and other biological media, infection can also occur with semen, saliva, vaginal secretions and tears.

You can get infected from a person with acute and chronic hepatitis. Most often, the infection spreads during medical and diagnostic manipulations through damaged skin and mucous membranes, during childbirth, and sexual contacts. An elementary manicure or tattoo procedure can be a way of infection. Hepatitis A and B are more common.

Hepatitis is a viral disease characterized by diffuse inflammation of the liver tissue. Several types of this disease are known.

Hepatitis A, or Botkin's disease. Infection with this species can occur through household items, water, food, etc. The disease does not become chronic.

Hepatitis B (serum). Infection with this type of hepatitis is possible only if the blood of a sick person enters the body.

Hepatitis C. The disease can be transmitted both through household items and through the blood. The course of this type of hepatitis is especially severe, since the disease develops in a latent form, symptoms appear only at a late stage, when treatment is already difficult.

Chronic hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis of the liver.

The main symptoms of hepatitis are belching, loss or lack of appetite, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, general malaise, a feeling of bitterness in the mouth, muscle and headache, staining of the sclera of the eyes and skin in yellow, dark urine, cough, runny nose.

Chronic active hepatitis (HAH)

Chronic active hepatitis (CAH) is a progressive disease caused by a number of factors, including genetic ones. The role of the latter is especially significant in the occurrence of autoimmune hepatitis. This form, as a rule, prevails in women under the age of 30, due to the influence of immunoregulatory genes linked to the X chromosome. The genetic factor determines the possibility of developing immunopathological mechanisms.

Able to leave behind a considerable number of unpleasant consequences. Many patients in the old fashioned way, having learned about such a diagnosis, begin to self-medicate at home. But it is worth noting that with such an infectious disease, you should immediately consult a doctor, and perhaps he will already prescribe concomitant treatment in the form of folk remedies - medicinal herbs.

If you resort to folk methods for the treatment of the hepatitis C virus, then you should carefully study the composition of medicinal mixtures and their side effects. The most common, safe and versatile remedy for infection is carrot juice. The general availability and usefulness of carrots is able to restore liver cells, as well as normalize its function in the human body.

Carrot juice can be drunk in any quantity, if there is no allergy. It is worth noting that, based on the characteristics of the human body, the skin may acquire a yellowish tint. You shouldn't be afraid of this.

Many patients, despairing that they will never be able to cope with the disease that has overtaken them, resort to traditional medicine. In a short period of time they try many medicinal herbs, decoctions, infusions - but this does not help them. Folk remedies are a method of treatment with a cumulative effect, that is, the patient will not receive an instant result. The treatment regimen at home can drag on for many months, or even years. The main thing in folk medicine is to observe all the proportions in the manufacture of the medicine and take it clearly on time.

If you have no experience in preparing medicinal suspensions, it is best not to do them in order to avoid sad consequences.

Common folk recipes

The most popular way to treat hepatitis C with the help of traditional medicine at the moment is milk thistle. Its seeds, leaves and root are ideal for decoction.

The recipe is simple:

• grind three large spoons with a pile of seeds and pour them into 0.5 liters. boiling water;
• wait until ½ of the broth remains, strain the infusion.

Take the resulting decoction three times a day after meals.

In second place after milk thistle is the rhubarb plant, which is rich in minerals and vitamins. The scheme for preparing a decoction from it is simple:

• crush the rhubarb root to get 5 g of ready-made “powder”;
• pour one glass of boiling water;
• simmer over low heat for no more than 20 minutes;
• strain.

Take three times a day, 15 ml. before meals. You can finish off honey to taste, since the finished broth has a too bitter taste. The course of treatment with rhubarb is two months. If you decide to take a break in treatment, then the use of the decoction can be resumed after two weeks.

Also, traditional medicine recommends that patients with acute hepatitis C take crushed cranberries with honey, one tablespoon three times a day. If there is no cranberry, then it can be replaced with viburnum juice - this is an equivalent replacement. Honey helps to relieve the inflammatory process in the biliary tract and contributes to the normalization of the stomach.

Milk thistle and rhubarb are rich in various kinds of vitamins and minerals, but they will not help to completely heal. Therefore, before resorting to the help of traditional medicine, it is worth discussing your given desire with your doctor, as well as conducting a comprehensive examination of the whole organism.

It must be remembered that as soon as you learned about the diagnosis of “hepatitis C”, you have been a virus carrier for a long time. In order not to provoke an epidemic, you should carefully consider your condition and health - it is best to consult a doctor for specialized medical care.

Remember, folk remedies, herbal decoctions and infusions have their meaning only in a complex form, where combined ones are present. Traditional medicine is designed to support your body, but you should not use it as the main treatment. Therefore, if you want to recover quickly, do not delay the moment of “healing”, but consult a doctor.

Hepatitis C is a serious disease.

With such a diagnosis, it is necessary to be observed by a doctor.

But, if you are a staunch opponent of drug therapy, adopt proven folk methods.
