Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Wow, I've never heard anything about either....where are you getting this information from? Fish oil is an important source of omega 3s...and they are important in maintaining our overall health. And eating fish of any type is much preferable to eating meat which is full of fat which is hard for our livers to process and iron which we all know is highly detrimental to Hep C. It's the actual virus that feeds on the iron...it's not a matter of the iron being bad for our livers. Or at least that is my take on it. Spices...I've never heard of any spices being detrimental to our livers. I know for a fact that cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, coriander, cilantro, clove, basil, thyme, pepper, rosemary, tumeric, cumin, chili powder, chives, garlic (which is a liver cleanser), parsley, oregano, paprika, tarragon, dill, bay leaves, curry powder, dry mustard and marjoram are not detrimental for our livers when used as seasonings. I don't know if that holds true if you are going to eat handfuls of them. <g> Remember that sugar is very hard on our livers...use maple syrup (pure) or honey (unprocessed is preferable to processed because it still contains the enzymes and good bacterias). Hope this helps clear up some of your concerns. Blessings Tatezi iwonderthis wrote: > Hi, > > I heard that fish oil is not good for liver, especially for hepatits > patient. Does any one know why?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 Hi Suzy... Yep, HCV feeds on iron which is why iron is so bad for us. If you are in treatment and getting anemic it has nothing to do with iron. Claudine can tell you what it's called, but increasing iron intake will not help the anemia caused by treatment. I suggest if you are having problems with anemia to start taking folic acid which helps our body create red blood cells. I took it all through treatment and never became anemic. After treatment I continued taking taking it and all of a sudden my hemoglobin and hemocrit were way too high...too much blood in laymans terms. Doc had me go off the folic acid and every thing settled down to normal again.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 Suzy, While I was on treatment, my doc gave me a prescription for folic acid for my anemia. It really helped. alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
