[Jonathan B. Britten] I wonder whether anyone has first-rate information on alternatives to transplant.
================================ Jonathan, The immune system needs to be calmed down so it doesn't over-react and destroy the body's own tissue. There are many reasons why the body does this. Two chief culprits are infections from microorganisms such as Mycoplasma, and the ingestion of glutinous grains. The microbes that don't have cells walls of their own, burrow into the cells and the body no longer recognizes its own transformed tissue. Similarly, the proteins in gluten irritate the body's tissues and the immune system goes into hyper-drive and starts attacking the body. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye, and sometimes oats (which themselves don't contain gluten but which can be contaminated by grains that are glutinous). Transfer Factor helps modulate the immune system. This means boost it when it's under-functioning, and CALM IT DOWN when it's hyperactive. I also think it's a good idea to avoid gluten in all its forms. Another factor is heavy metals. Mercury is notorious for provoking autoimmune responses. Plus, the liver is the filtration organ of the body. If it's overloaded with toxins, it can't do its job. Sweating is a great way to eliminate toxins through the skin with taxing the other elimination organs. My Rife Handbook discusses all these issues in depth. For more, and vital, information on autoimmune conditions in general, see the new book by Datis Kharrazian with the word "thyroid" in the title. Although he focuses on hypothydism, the book is really about the progression and treatment of ALL autoimmune conditions. You can read my review, with details of the book's contents, under the 5-star ratings on Amazon. Or see the same review under "Thyroid Gland" on my webbsite. I consider this one of the most important books of the year. This may not help the person with autoimmune hepatitis right away, but at least it's a place to start. I would recommend her seeing a health care provider who's versed in autoimmune conditions. This means a naturopath, oseopath or other practitioner in the holistic health field, but NOT an allopath. Allopaths don't understand how the body works, and thus aren't very successful in treating autoimmune malfunctions.
