Hi,
I heard SST is good. But I don't know about ginseng. I have not heard of hep. C patients needing that or taking it. It is not good to mix herbs from different companies because they are not synergistic. That's why I get my herbs from Hepapro recommended by Dr. Zhang. He has written a small book about his herbs. They work very well together. You can check out his website at http://www.sinomedresearch.org
I have been taking them for 2 1/2 years now. Dr. Weil recommends Dr. Zhang and his treatments. He has a letter by Dr. Weil you can read on his website. It doesn't matter where you live. If you buy his little book he will give you a free 15 min. consultation from New York after you send him your lab information. He's very nice and helpful. There's a place on his website where you can email him questions.

Are you taking milk thistle?

There are much better treatments coming in just 2-3 years for those of us who can wait, like VX-950 by the Vertex company that is doing very well in clinical trials now and is a pill with no side effects. Patients are clear of the virus in a few weeks.

Best wishes to you. Take good care.

Hi Hopeful,

I hope this didn't get posted twice. I have been on Liver Kampo for a month now and my AST and ALT are in the 60's. My AST was in the 100's.
My Alpha Feto Protein was way high, (I don't have the numbers in front of me), and now it is in the normal range. I am also taking NAC, ALA, Turmeric, Chanca Piedra, Fish Oils, B complex and lots of green and red powders in Aloe Juice.

Ginseng is in Liver Kampo and is good for circulation and heart.

It is a very good combo and is being tested at Sloan. I think you will
be pleased. I personally like the packets over the pills. I just feel they are
easier to assimilate into the body. Don't know for sure though.

Good Luck and let us know how you do!

Hi Hopefull,

I have been using Sho-Saiko-To and it works fine. I use the capsule form called SST (I bought it on HepZone). I went through the Science behind it, and from what I understood, it is quite good. Are you still using it?
regards, E.
