Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver and
comes in many types such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. The different letters A, B, and C simply indicate a
different virus causing the hepatitis. The liver becomes tender and enlarged and has problems functioning
normally. This results in a buildup of toxins in the body that would normally be filtered out by the liver. Symptoms
of hepatitis include: appetite loss, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, light colored stools,
muscle aches, drowsiness, dark urine, and often a yellowing of the skin. All forms of hepatitis are
contagious. Hepatitis B is the 9th leading cause of death in the
USA. A lower digestive system cleansing
maybe helpful, the colon and intestines are prime places for toxins to build up.

Hepatitis
is an inflammation of the liver, normally caused by a viral
infection. The liver becomes tender and enlarged and is unable
to operate as normal. As a result, toxins that would normally
be filtered out by the liver build up in the body, and certain
nutrients are not processed and stored as they should be. Symptoms of hepatitis include: fever, weakness, nausea,
vomiting, headache , appetite loss, muscle aches, joint pains,
drowsiness, dark urine, light colored stools, abdominal
discomfort, and, often, jaundice
which is a yellowing of the skin, and elevated liver enzymes in the
blood. Flu like symptoms can be either mild or very severe for
the person.There are several different kinds of hepatitis,
named according to the virus that causes the condition. In the last
15 years, researchers have identified the viruses
responsible for three leading kinds of the disease, they are called
hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. There are also
other, less common types known as hepatitis E, and non-A,
non-B hepatitis. All of them are highly contagious. Hepatitis A, also known
as "infectious hepatitis", is very easily passed by
person to person
contact, and through contact with food, clothing, bed linen,
and other objects. It is contagious between 2 to 3 weeks
before and one week after jaundice appears. After a round with
hepatitis A, the person develops an immunity to it.
Hepatitis B, also known as to as "serum hepatitis", is spread
through contact with infected blood (like the sharing of
contaminated syringes, needles, and transfused blood) and some
forms of sexual activity. it is estimated that up to 5% of all
Americans, and as much as 85% of gay men, are infected with
hepatitis B. However, most hepatitis B infections come and go
unrecognized. In some 10% of cases, the disease becomes
chronic, scarring the liver and making it more vulnerable to cancer. Hepatitis B is the
9th leading cause of death in the USA. Hepatitis C accounts for 20 to 40% of all
hepatitis and 90 to 95% of hepatitis contracted through blood
transfusions. Tests can now detect antibodies against
hepatitis C in donated blood, a major advance in ensuring a
safe blood supply, but an infected person may take up to 6 months to develop the
antibodies to it, so it is not possible to identify all infected blood. Hepatitis C can
also be contracted through intravenous drug use, sexual
contact, and broken skin or mucous membranes. In addition to
the various types of viral hepatitis, there is a form of the
disease called toxic hepatitis, which can be caused by
exposure to chemicals, mainly the injection, ingestion,
or absorption of toxins through the skin. Chlorinated
hydrocarbons and arsenic are examples of severe hepatotoxic
agents. In toxic hepatitis, the amount of exposure to the
toxin determines the extent of liver damage.
Whatever form of
hepatitis good nutritional supplementation can help either
prevent it or aid in the healing process.
