(Liver Biopsy suggested possibility of Cirrhosis)
(Portal Hypertension and risk of Esophageal Varices)
Recovery with Liv-Herbal Formula in combination with Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin therapy
Patient with history of chronic Hepatitis C (genotype 1a) infection. Liver Biopsy suggested the possibility of Cirrhosis. Evidence of Portal vein Hypertension and risk of Esophageal Varices. After a month of Interferon treatment the PCR was Positive for Hep-C viral RNA presence and after 3 months of Interferon therapy patient barely achieved a 2-log drop in viral load. At this time patient started Liv-Herbal Formula. It is reported that Hepatitis C virus genotype 1a does not respond to therapy that well but in this case the 6th month blood test indicated as Negative (No viral RNA was detected in the blood). It means that 3 month of taking Liv-Herbal Formula has helped the patient to achieve the results that doctors did not think is possible. This finding suggests that Liv-Herbal Formula definitely contributed to patient's recovery and is safe if taken along Interferon and anti-Viral drug therapy.
Blood work, Biopsy, Serology and PCR were done at standard laboratories and Hospitals in Canada.

Data presented here is selected from the research files of Bio-Herb Remedies Inc. Canada
Note: Canada has a national health care plan that covers patients' medical cost. Immediate or frequent medical tests are requested only when physicians consider it is essential, otherwise, they are done every three to six months, or yearly. When the data presented here indicates improvement after 6 or 9 months or years of taking Liv-Herbal Formula, it does not necessarily mean that one has to take it for that long to see an improvement - the medical tests in these cases were done after a longer period of time.
