influence on the course the disease takes.

let’s get this out of the way right off the bat:

The single best thing you can do if you’ve got

hepatitis C or any liver disease is to stop drinking.

Completely. No kidding. alcohol puts a strain on

your liver, which is not so bad if your liver is healthy

but is lethal if it’s not. so if you’ve got hepatits C,

whatever else you do, you need to stop drinking.

A Medical hero Takes on the

Establishment

I first learned about the natural cure I’m going to tell you about from Burt

Berkson. I’ll introduce him so you’ll understand why I paid as much attention

as I did to his recommendation, and why I’m going to pass it on to you with a

ringing, unqualified endorsement. I consider Burt Berkson a medical hero.

Years ago, Berkson was doing his internship at a hospital in Cleveland when

two people were brought in by ambulance in pretty dire condition. They had

been hiking, had eaten some highly poisonous mushrooms, and were close to

death. Berkson remembered reading some research on a substance called alpha

lipoic acid (ALA), which, in addition to being great for managing blood sugar,

was an amazing free-radical scavenger. He appealed to the hospital to let him

try ALA on the couple, but was turned down since no one had ever heard of it

and it wasn’t in the hospital’s pharmacy. He was basically told there was noth-

ing that could be done for the couple and if there was, the powers that be at

the hospital would certainly have known about it. What did a mere intern think

he could do with some nutritional supplement no one had ever heard of? And

besides, what could an intern know that a resident or attending physician didn’t?

Well, quite a lot actually.

Berkson, who is not only an M.D. but just happens to have a Ph.D. in

microbiology with an advanced specialty in mushroom toxology, knew a bit

about liver disease. Risking censure and loss of his internship, he called an old

colleague, Fred Bartter at the National Institutes of Health, who arranged to

fly in some ALA. He administered it to the dying couple.

And they’re alive and well today.

That, by the way, is medical courage.

So when Burt Berkson talks about the liver, I listen.

Back in 1999, Berkson published a paper called A conservative triple anti-

oxidant approach to the treatment of hepatitis C: A combination of alpha lipoic acid (thioctic acid), silymarin, and selenium: Three case histories. In it, he suggested a basic protocol of three supplements that would protect the liver from free-radical damage, increase the levels of other fundamental antioxidants, and interfere

with viral proliferation.

That protocol is the core of the “natural cure” for hepatitis C. I believe

every single person with hepatitis C or liver disease of any kind should be on it.
