Re: Supplements Jon and Carol and all

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the feedback SuziQ. Unfortunately, I have an outrageous sweet tooth and devour lots of sugar. I didn’t know that was a problem for the liver. I’ll have to research about that. I’ll have to look into Dr Berkson.Thanks! Jon from Ohio From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Suzi QSent: Thursday, December 30, 2010 5:54 PMhepatitis Subject: [ ] Supplements Jon and Carol and all Hi Jon and Carol and all, I use the supplements from Dr Burt Berkson in New Mexico. There is lots of info on him on the internet. www.Berkson_Lipoic_Final www.Berkson%20clinical20%studywww.youtube.com type in LDN conference 2009 Dr Berkson and you can see some lectures by him. The only herb I take is milk thistle. I do take alpha lipoic acid, selenium as well. His protocol is 300 mg ALA, 200mg selenium, 600-900 mg milk thistle twice daily. You will need a B-100, extra B-12 and a good daily vitamin without iron. I am not currently on LDN. I do take D3 and CoQ 10 as well. Supplements do NOT cure Hep C. They are designed to heal and protect the liver from the damage of the Hep C virus and other liver problems. Neither are they designed to be used with treatment. It is my belief that taking these simple supps will help the liver--before treating, if you fail treatment and after treatment. I, personally, have chosen not to treat due to age (76) and slow progression of my Hep C. Of course, I do not drink alcohol and haven't for many years. Watching your sugar intake is also important. I don't know much about other herbs, etc as I have chosen to follow Dr Berkson's regimen. Do be careful as some can harm the liver. If you look at the links I provided you will see that he is a well respected doctor. Liver disease is his speciality. If you have questions--just ask.

Thank you Suzi!

I did some research on Dr Berkson. I'm going to ask my Dr if I can take alpha

lipoic acid until I start treatment. See what she says.

Good advise on the supplements!

Hi Carol,

You might want to go to the link that Don posted

http://health.dir./group/ /links/006N___Dr_Berkson\

_001287085127/

and print out the section on Dr Berkson Clinical Study to take to your doctor.

Many doctors have not heard of him or know that he is a very educated man. Many

doctors do not recommend supplements as the drug companies are not behind them

in case of a lawsuit--so they are reluctant to use them. And there is no money

for clinical trials because there is no money in a supplement that is in the

public domain. It is a catch 22.

I have been to see Dr Berkson. He is a quiet unassuming man in a small one

doctor office. He only treats liver diseases. He orders a ton of lab tests and

works from them. Now, he has branched out into low dose naltrexone for certain

types of cancer.(As well as Hep C) Some universities are trying to get money

for clinical trials on that.

Hope your doctor is ok with ALA. It does work. Let us know.
