      Alcohol damages the liver by direct toxicity. Some people are more prone to it than others.

      The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase is responsible for metabolising alcohol from the body. In women and some people, this enzyme is low. Hence the toxic effects of alcohol is more felt in these groups.

      One must note however, that its not always those that feel drunk that suffer the harmful effects of alcohol.

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

Below, you will find information that could provide guidance regarding my dietary recommendations for patients diagnosed with hepatitis; either B or C: In general, those diagnosed with chronic viral hepatitis and who have not developed severe complications, such as end stage liver damage do not need to limit their dietary intake (with the assumption that they were on balanced diets before diagnosis). If they are in doubt, the following is a rough guide: Proteins: Do not limit protein intake. If you do, you are likely to loose your muscle protein, thereby complicating your ability to fight your infection. Lean protein diets such as fish, chicken (skinless

Will I die from hepatitis?

Several people have been so scared about the likelihood of death from hepatitis that they do not undertake the screening test for hepatitis. They play the ostrich that buries itself in the sand, hoping that since it cannot see itself, the predator doesn't see it. In other words, ignorance is bliss. I guess you have been itching to know the answer to above question. NO And YES, are both correct. No, if you know about your status early enough for either monitoring or treatment. Not everyone is at risk of being found positive for hepatitis infection. Among the risk factors are the following : Previous history of use of unsterile surgical instrument Having a family member with diagnosis of hepatitis B or C If you have had multiple sexual contacts Being African Intravenous drug use Being born to a mother with hepatitis etc. Yes, if you ignore checking up and then presenting with late complications such as cirrhosis and or liver cancer. The chance of developing th
