Hello, I Just Tested Positive For Hep C. I'm 21
-3 capsules 525 mg dandelion root
-3 capsules (80% silymarin) milk thistle (1260 mg milk thistle seed)
-1 capsule curcumin turmeric supreme (406 mg)
-2 capsules burdock root (950 mg)
-2 capsules "host defense mushrooms, my community comprehensive immune support"
-2 capsules "host defense mushrooms, turkey tail immune support"
I also have vegan yogurt everyday with live and active cultures. I also take biotin supplements for my hair. I think the pills are working because I used to feel light throbbing in my mid abdomen and in my shoulder (pain I only felt after testing positive for hep c). Since I started taking the pill medley everyday, I no longer feel any throbbing, aches, etc.
I can't officially see a doctor until January when I have insurance again, but in the meanwhile, are the pills I'm taking safe for me? Is the daily biotin dose okay for me?
A combination of liver healing diet plus supplemnts are best.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query seen your reports and here is my advice.
Yes all the medicines used by you are basically herbal and natural extracts and are good anti inflammatory and are very safe and good for your liver.But along with supplement a liver rejunuvating diet should also be taken.The simple formula is 60% complex carbohydrates 25% lean proteins and rest should be good fats like Pufa and Mufa.
You could also include herbal Liv 52 ds tablet(online on XXXXXXX just for help).They are ayurvedic tablets and excellent liver rejenuvators.
A perfect diet with supplements would be a perfect healer and immune booster.
As per biotin is concerned daily dose should not exceed 30 mcgs.
