Did you know the following amazing facts?

Well over half a billion people in the world today are infected with the hepatitis viruses of the B and C type. The most common sexually transmitted disease in the world is hepatitis B. These facts are more than interesting – they are astounding! Thankfully in these modern times we have the tools to fight these viruses. A healthier liver is able to withstand the potential damage inflicted by these nasty viruses. What we aim for is -
  • A reduction in viral load (the amount of virus in your body)
  • A reduction of viral replication
  • A stronger immune system, which is your greatest health asset
  • A reduction of your risk of liver cancer
  • A reduction in symptoms of hepatitis, especially fatigue
Liver cell repair and renewal This must be qualified, as if you have liver cancer or end stage cirrhosis I cannot guarantee this. I urge you not to wait until you have reached these stages when you probably need a liver transplant. If you have early or medium stages of cirrhosis it is usually possible to achieve considerable repair and renewal of your liver. Anti-viral drugs can bring an eradication of the hepatitis B and C viruses; however the success rate of this depends upon many factors and for many people results in failure and a host of nasty side effects. Even if an eradication of the virus can be achieved with anti-viral drugs, the virus can hide in the body to attack its host another day when their immune system is weakened. Eradication of the virus is called “a sustained viral response” to treatment, which means that the virus can no longer be detected in the blood; however the virus could still be hiding in other parts of the body such as the liver, cerebrospinal fluid or lymphatic system. If your immune system becomes weakened the virus can reactivate and attack your liver again. We are dealing with stealth viruses that are hardy and clever at evading the body’s immune system.

Studies have shown that low serum selenium levels are associated with higher risks of various types of cancer, including liver cancer. Selenium supplementation is vital in those with all types of chronic liver disease, as it reduces the risk of liver cancer.

An observational study of the liver cancer preventive effect of selenium supplementation was done in China. The 8-year follow-up data showed reduced primary liver cancer incidence of 35.1% in the selenized table salt supplemented people versus the non-supplemented population. On withdrawal of selenium from the treated group, primary liver cancer incidence rates began to increase. However, the inhibitory response to the hepatitis B virus was sustained during the 3-year cessation of treatment.

It takes quite a few months for the selenium to build up to protective levels in the important areas of your body, such as the liver and the immune system and thus a long term commitment to taking these supplements is needed. Selenium helps to detoxify your liver Selenium is a great detoxifier – this is because it is required for the production and action of glutathione peroxidase in the liver. Glutathione peroxidase is an antioxidant enzyme necessary for detoxification and protection of the liver against free radical damage.  Glutathione is also a powerful natural anti-inflammatory agent.  Reducing inflammation in your liver is very important because that will reduce the risk of permanent liver damage.

Testimonial

To all the health care workers at Dr Cabot’s Health Advisory Service in Phoenix – a big thank you! I am very grateful for the opportunity of meeting you. When my husband died 4 years ago, I was tested for the hepatitis C virus and I tested positive – this made me very anxious. I found the doctors all told me different things so I searched for books to help me understand this disease. I called Dr Cabot’s office in Phoenix. Dr Cabot and her team have been answering all my questions and have been very helpful. They sent me books on raw juicing and liver cleansing. I believe they truly care for people who struggle. I had bought books that claimed that “Milk Thistle” was helpful for people with the hepatitis C virus and I have bought supplements that contained low doses and were not that pure. I changed to Livatone Plus, which contained a high dose of pure Milk Thistle combined with many other nutrients good for the liver. I continued to improve and so did my liver function. Recently I was told that the hepatitis C virus had left my body. I do not understand all the medical terminology but my kids and I cried with relief. I feel the Livatone Plus and all the expertise from Dr Cabot’s team with their encouragement and information has helped my body fight and conquer this thing that scared me every day of my life. Now I wake up knowing I will live to see my kids marry and have families of their own. I thank God and Dr Cabot. Please invest a little for your health. I have looked on every website and in many health food stores and Dr Cabot’s program is the best available. A grateful patient from Palm Springs California.
