Hepatitis B Treatment with Homoeopathy

Hepatitis B  Treatment with Homoeopathy


Hepatitis literally refers to any inflammation of the liver. In fact, there are five forms of acute viral hepatitis that are often clinically indistinguishable from one another. These diseases are unrelated to each other except by the fact that they all cause liver damage.
It is important not to confuse hepatitis B with with any other viral hepatitis. Each has its own mode of transmission and associated risk factors. Hepatitis A, for example, is transmitted by the fecal-oral route, whereas hepatitis B is often transmitted through sexual contact or IV drug abuse. 
HBV is a known threat to health care workers. Each year in the U.S., an estimated 12,000 health care workers contact Hepatitis B from their patients. About 300 people die each year of this illness or its long-term consequences. This is in contrast to the observation that only seven health care workers have developed AIDS as a result of occupational exposure. The ease of the transmission of the virus is one of the many challenges facing public health professionals. 
Hepatitis B infection may result in a range of health outcomes. After a two- to six-month incubation period, HBV can lead to acute hepatitis. Most individuals are able to recover completely from an acute infection. However, if the body is unable to mount an effective immune response, a patient may become a "chronic carrier" of hepatitis B virus & they become positive for HBsAg tests by different assays.
Chronic carriers are at increased risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a serious liver cancer. In fact, HBV is regarded by many scientists to be second only to tobacco as a known human carcinogen. All carriers, whether or not they have active symptoms, have a 12 to 300 times greater risk of developing primary liver cancer than non-carriers. 

Causes and Risk Factors of Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B follows a similar mode of transmission as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the agent responsible for AIDS. Both are transmitted through exposure to infected blood or blood products, sexual contact and from mothers to infants primarily at birth.
However, hepatitis B appears to be far more infectious than HIV. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 30 to 40 percent of acute HBV infections in the U.S. occur in individuals with no known risk factors. In comparison, only 4 percent of AIDS cases have occurred in individuals with no known risk factors. 
Hepatitis B is threatening for a variety of other reasons. In addition to the ways in which HIV is spread, hepatitis B appears to be spread by casual contact. It can be acquired by close contact within families, or from person to person through contact with open skin lesions. The virus may possibly be spread by exposure of mucous membranes to saliva, but you cannot get it from food or water, sneezing or coughing, breastfeeding, handshakes, hugs or casual contact. 
Another important fact is that hepatitis B can remain stable outside the body for days or weeks, even when dry. 

Symptoms of Hepatitis B
Symptoms and signs of hepatitis B can range from none to minimal in the early stages of the illness, to jaundice (yellowing of the skin), nausea, abdominal pain, fever, and malaise in the acute phase. Appetite loss, fatigue, itching, dark urine and pale stools are some common symptoms.
After the initial infection, carriers of hepatitis B usually have few symptoms. 

Diagnosis of Hepatitis B
Diagnosis of hepatitis B is based upon examination of the blood for characteristic antigens and antibodies associated with the disease.

Treatment of Hepatitis B 
Homoeopathy offers the best treatment for Hepatitis B carriers.
They can become HBsAg negative within a period of 2-3 months if they take the medicines regularly. Patients have to wait for another 2 months if they are HBV-DNA positive with a heavy Viral load (above 10000 copies/ml) & HBeAg positive on their blood tests.
