This program includes chronic persisting Hepatitis B and C, Cirrhosis of the Liver, Chronic cholecystitis, gall bladder stone and chronic pancreatitis.

* Chronic persisting hepatitis B is a viral infectious disease. Symptoms are poor appetite, nausea, fatigue, enlarged liver. Some patients may have vomiting, jaundice or enlarged spleen. They also have abnormal Liver function tests.

* Cirrhosis of the Liver is disseminated infection which is caused by different kinds of reasons. Because the structure of the liver is actually destroyed, fibrous tissue is hyperplasiaed. The liver cells are regenerated so as to become pseudolobule. Some patients have medical history, such as hepatitis, schistosomiasis, poor nutrition, long term alcoholism or take prescription medicine that is traumatic to the Liver. The symptoms are poor appetite, nausea abdominal distension. Ascites, diarrhea, fatigue, thin and bruise easily. Some patients may have a lack of sexual drive, male breast enlargement and for women, irregular menstruation. Western doctors can make definite diagnosis according to tests and biopsy.

Chinese medicine cannot easily heal these diseases. Drugs prescribed by Western medicine may have the side effect of creating more trauma to the Liver. Chinese Herbs rarely cause side effects to the human body. Yet Chinese herbs can improve the clinic symptoms very much. We use no regular course of treatment. Most of the patients can obtain great improvement of symptoms. We request patients go to see Western doctor regularly to check on the results of the Chinese herbs.
