Hepatitis - Be Sure To Wash Your Hands |

Hepatitis is a Latin word, that means liver inflammation. It's usually the result of destroyed liver cells and inflamed cells in the liver tissue. Hepatitis can be caused by diseases that primarily attack the liver cells and can be listed into one of two groups, depending on how long the disease lasts. Acute hepatitis lasts less than six months, while chronic hepatitis will continue to last for more than six months. Most cases of hepatitis, are due to some form of viral infection.

Hepatitis C Symptoms |
|
Hepatitis C is a type of disease that is caused by the hepatitis C virus. According to studies in the United States, there are approximately 36,000 persons who are infected by this disease each year. Although this is a milder condition compared to any other type of hepatitis, still it can lead to chronic liver disease if left untreated. Approximately 4 million people are said to be chronic HCV carriers. And 70% of these carriers will develop chronic liver disease if they are not diagnosed early on. This percentage is so high because many people with this disease have no symptoms. Regardless of whether they have symptoms, the condition will worsen if not treated immediately. Hepatitis C,... |

What's With Hepatitis B? |

There is no other way to explain all the hype Hepatitis B has been generating from all over the globe. The figures attached to it are too overwhelming to not be given much notice. Hepatitis B's prominence in the world's health care concerns is too big to miss. With about 350 million people worldwide infected and about one third of world's population being exposed to the virus, Hepatitis B boasts of an unwanted and unwelcome super stardom. To make this claim more founded, let figures in America speak for themselves. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) places the number at 140,000 to 320,000 cases of acute (short duration) hepatitis B occurring each year. At the other side of the globe,... |

I am Hepatitis C
Author:
Ryan Fyfe
I am Hepatitis C a form of hepatitis liver inflammation that is caused by a virus known on the street as HCV. Before HCV was discovered in 1989, they used to refer to me as a related name to my little brothers, "non-A-non-B hepatitus". A laughing stock of the virus world, but that all changed in 1989. Approximately 15 to 20 percent of people are able to deal with me and develop immunity. That doesn't speak for the rest, and also 15 to 20 percent of them that will show acute signs of the me, Hepatitus C.
It is known that for each 100 chronic Hepatitis C patients, 20 will develop liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis is a nasty scarring of the liver, which can progress into Liver cancer. I have infected over 180 million people around the world, and am now responsible for the majority of liver transplants, Hepatocellular carcinoma and also the major cause of death among HIV co-infected patients.
Most times, people that are carrier me in the chronic state, chronic hepatitis C, will have no symptoms. This doesn't speak well for myself, but without further delay over time I can cause long term damage to the liver. This is due to my blood borne nature. I work slowly and severe liver damage may not develop until 10-40 years after my initial infection. Mixing things up, my symptoms vary based on each individual carrier. Often times they will resemble flu symptoms which include: - body aches - loss of appetite - headaches - diarrhea - fatigue - nausea - nightsweats - abdominal pain - upper right quadrant pain
Because, like I mentioned, these symptoms resemble the flue, most people are not aware that they have me until they visit a doctor and have a physical exam. Even then sometimes I can go unnoticed unless they have blood work done. Cases often exist, where a individuals will go to donate bllod or plasma, and will return positive results to a HCV test.
Needle sharing, drug sharing, and unprotected sex are just a few ways in which I can spread rampantly. It's as simple as blood-to-blood contact. Wherever that exists I also exist. Things like piercings and tattoo needles are some of my favorites.

Hepatitis by Djehuty Ma'at-Ra Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver. Hepa is Latin for "liver" and the English suffix "itis" means inflammation. Hepatitis is characterized by other pathologies such as jaundice, abdominal and gastric discomfort, hepatomegaly, and dark urine (which is a sign of severe acidosis). What causes hepatitis? Answer: Toxemia! When an organ like the liver becomes overly toxic, it becomes inflamed and the inflammation causes the organ to enlarge. The liver is one of the body's five eliminative channels (or six eliminative channels if you're a woman). It is the major filtering organ in the body and performs over 500 functions. And because the liver secretes certain substances, it is also a gland. All toxins are first counteracted or attacked by the liver. The liver does a great job of fighting toxicity until it gets overwhelmed and allows less toxic substances to slip through into the body via the blood while it fights the most deadly toxins in a Divine gesture to save the host body. Certain toxins such as cigarette smoke, alcohol/beer/wine, pharmaceutical drugs, so-called Vitamin C, illegal drugs (cocaine, heroin, PCP, etc.), birth control pills, car exhaust and fumes, carbon monoxide, household cleaning supplies chemicals, and cosmetic and hygiene product chemicals greatly sabotage the health of the liver. These things make the liver work harder and overtime. And let's not forget about the toxins from the SAD (Standard American Diet). Meats are heavily saturated with toxins including cancer causing sodium nitrate and nitrites, synthetic female hormones, and chemical dyes. Dairy products contain cow feces and synthetic female hormones. Meat (slaughtered animal flesh), dairy... |
