The conventional emphasis on viral loads in the management of infective hepatitis is like blaming the policemen for the prisoners in the jailhouse. The viral loads that conventional medicine uses as its therapeutic yardstick are an effect and not the cause of hepatitis. It is like putting the horse before the boggy. Just like a weed that flourishes in a favourable soil environment and no matter how much we control its growth, unless we change the soil environment the weeds will always flourish. So, too, with viruses, diseases, and cancer cells. When the internal environment is fertile, viruses multiply. As we change our internal environment we reduce our loads, cirrhotic progression, and cancer propensity.Viruses are lifeless entities that cannot exist on their own without a favourable internal host environment. The internal environment that favours viral replication is constitutional acidity and fermentation which in simple English is inflammation and low immune resistance. The emphasis on the viral component and the use of anti-virals in the management of infective hepatitis is like pouring gasoline on fire or salt on a wound. These anti-viral drugs increase extracellular matrix toxicity-the launching pad for viral replication. As anti-viral remedies engage the viruses, the host's body is caught in the ensuing crossfire which manifests as the side effects associated with anti-viral use. These adverse reactions are often worse than the disease. About30 million American have liver disease. Liver disease is the fourth leading cause of death in America. Over 550,000 people worldwide die from liver cancer each year with a preventable complication of liver disease. One in one hundred thousand Americans has a truly functional liver. About 25,000 Americans die each year from liver cancer. Liver cirrhosis is the seventh leading cause of death in America.Hepatitis is either viral or non-viral. Viral hepatitis is caused by contagious viruses that have special affinities for the liver cells of humans. It is also referred to as infectious hepatitis. Non-viral hepatitis or non-contagious hepatitis is also referred to as toxic hepatitis. There are five forms of contagious viral hepatitis which are classified alphabetically: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. The hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E viruses cause acute hepatitis while the B, C, and D viruses can lead to chronic infections. Chronic hepatitis is a hepatitis infection lasting more than six months. Another type of hepatitis is called fulminant hepatitis, a severe and potentially fatal form of acute hepatitis.
