There exist highly effective (greater than 90% cure rate) treatments for hepatitis C. Ask your primary care provider about these treatment options. Dr. Weyrich strongly recommends that patients who have hepatitis C take these treatments if possible. Only patients who are not a candidate for these curative treatments, have failed these treatments, or who cannot afford these treatments should consider the naturopathic, complementary and alternative treatments described below.
[Dudley_hep_c] reports that hepatitis C is a condition that LDN helps. In one case, after taking LDN for about 3 years, six significantly elevated liver function enzymes all returned to normal.
Dr. Deanna Windham states that "LDN improves the immune systems's response to infections, including" hepatitis [type unspecified], "likely due to its immunomodulatory effects on T cells, monocytes, and macrophages" [Elsegood2016, pg 36]
Dr. Weyrich has been trained to use Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of hepatitis C with LDN.
Please see What is Low Dose Naltrexone? for more information.
