Patient's question:
I and my wife both have chronic hepatitis C, and we have taken both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. Now, it has indeed been controlled. What should we do about chronic hepatitis C?Doctor's answer:
For hepatitis C, it's important to eat more refined grains; animal organs, crab roe, fish eggs, chicken skin, pork skin, and pork intestines; peanuts, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, sugarcane, fruits, potatoes, taro, sweet potatoes, lotus root, starch, and water chestnuts, etc. Processed meats and sausages should be eaten sparingly. At the same time, the best cooking methods are steaming, boiling, and cold salads, and it's absolutely crucial to avoid excessive saltiness. The recommended daily salt intake should be less than 6 grams.It's not terrible to have hepatitis C, and patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
