Wall Street Journal Best Seller Dr. M's Seven-X Plan for Digestive Health
Treatment for hepatitis C is frequently accompanied by numerous side effects and patients try various kinds of modalities to counteract them.
Researchers from University of California recently presented preliminary data on the effect of coffee and marijuana on the liver in patients with hepatitis C. This presentation was part of the annual AASLD meeting (2006).
Dr. Ishida and colleagues studied HCV infected patients and correlated their coffee, alcohol and marijuana use with liver tests.
These investigators found that while cannabis is harmful in hepatitis C (HCV) infected patients, drinking three cups of coffee a day actually protects liver. The protective effect is thought to be due to the antioxidant properties. Alcohol is also harmful, although not as much as the pot is!
Do you or someone you know has hepatitis C. What was your experience with the treatment? What did you do to combat side-effects if any?
