so in this video we’re gonna actually

talk about what is hepatitis C and some

alternative things that you can do to

minimize the damage from this condition

and before I begin I just want to point

out that anything I say is just for

educational purposes is not meant to

replace your medical care check with

your doctor before applying and in this

information okay that being said let’s

get into some very interesting things

about hepatitis C what is hepatitis

first of all hepa liver itis

inflammation of okay it’s inflammation

of your liver so hepatitis C virus is a

very specific virus that invades the

liver cells and creates a lot of

inflammation and damage so it’s

transmitted by blood so you can’t get it

by kissing someone it’s mainly by a

dirty needle transfusion and even but

rarely getting a tattoo or acupuncture

now what’s really interesting about the

hepatitis C virus is it actually mimics

LDL that’s the so called bad cholesterol

low-density lipoprotein and I think the

reason it does that is because these

viruses are very strategic they want to

survive so they can actually mimic parts

of your own physiology there is no

vaccine for hepatitis C and when you

have hepatitis C you’re more at risk for

getting diabetes which we’ll cover in a

second and also cirrhosis and even

cancer some of the symptoms for

hepatitis C would be fatigue weight loss

nausea joint pain muscle pain and loss

of cognitive function now another

interesting side note is that 10 to 50

percent of these cases that have

hepatitis C spontaneously resolved

mainly in younger people and females

okay so the mechanism of hepatitis is

that you have this virus creating a lot

of destruction you’re getting a lot of

inflammation and it’s replicating okay

with this inflammation you have several

issues one is that you start getting

scar tissue or fibrosis which eventually

can lead to cirrhosis or scar tissue of

the liver when this happens you start

losing function and because the liver is

essential for so many different

functions you start having all sorts of

other issues now another interesting

thing that happens when you have

information is that inflammation can

cause insulin resistance okay

insulin is trying to connect to the

cells and the cell receptor is resistive

of that hormone so what happens is that

you don’t get the feedback loop that you

would normally get to turn off insulin

so when you resist insulin the body

starts making more insulin okay so a

person with insulin resistance has

anywhere between five to seven times

more insulin than a normal person and

the big problem with insulin resistance

is you get a tremendous amount of

oxidative stress you get oxidation and

this is why pre-diabetics and diabetics

have all sorts of health problems with

their nerves with the brain with the

heart the inside layer of the artery on

the heart starts to oxidize you start

having problems with the eyes and the

kidney and anytime you have inflammation

itself you’re going to get a lot of

oxidative stress too so the combination

of insulin resistance or high insulin

and inflammation is a double-edged sword

to the liver as far as the livers

ability to actually heal and repair

itself if there’s a constant

inflammatory condition and you have all

this oxidative stress you’re getting a

lot of constant destruction of the cells

now another interesting thing about

inflammation itself is the cancer cancer

has a tendency to spread in areas of

inflammation so whether you had an old

injury or an old infection or a current

infection there is a higher risk and

getting cancer and hepatitis C because

of the inflammatory condition that’s

going on all right so now that you have

a better understanding of what it is

let’s talk about what to do about it all

right so this is what I would recommend

but again check with your doctor before

doing any of these actions all right

what are we dealing with we’re dealing

with oxidative stress from the virus

itself we’re dealing with a lot of

inflammation we’re dealing with insulin

resistance which by the way is creating

a lot more insulin in this insulin is

creating more oxygen

stress so we have a compound effect that

gives us a lot of oxygen of stress and

free radical damage there’s a great

study I put it down below a double

blinded study that showed significant

decrease in liver enzymes an improvement

in liver function when one takes

antioxidants now in this study we were

taking them orally in and being injected

but they use milk thistle which is by

the way really good for the liver but

also an antioxidant ascorbic acid

l-glutamine alpha lipoic acid alpha

tocopheryl and B vitamins all of these

act as antioxidants now there’s some

other ones you can take too that we’re

not part of the study but they’re pretty

powerful NAC selenium and Sammy there’s

actually many different antioxidants you

can take but I would go for a food

itself like parsley kale any of the

cruciferous foods are loaded with

antioxidants or a concentrate of a green

product or a cruciferous would be very

very good you want a food concentrate as

compared to an antioxidant that’s a

synthetic which I don’t recommend

because it’s been shown that those

actually can spike your risk for cancer

so just use a natural food based

antioxidant and start consuming a lot of

cruciferous vegetables now another very

very powerful thing you can do to reduce

oxidative stress is do intermittent

fasting in fact in a minute fasting is

probably one of the most powerful things

you can do to drop inflammation the body

and dropped oxidative stress apparently

your body goes into this very

interesting survival mode and a healing

mode both of your immune system and just

resisting stress in general now if you

look up hepatitis in relationship to

fasting you’ll see some positives and

negatives to that okay one viewpoint is

that you don’t want to do fasting

because there’s a problem with the liver

you’re not storing sugar effectively and

you usually have hypoglycemia so you

have to eat every couple hours to keep

your blood Sugar’s up I totally disagree

with that because if you’re going to eat

every couple hours you’re gonna raise

insulin more and more and more to the

point where you’re gonna actually create

more insulin resistance and like I said

before excessive amounts of insulin

creates more oxidative stress so we’re

trying to go in the opposite direction

if you go into in a minute fasting very

nice and gradually I think that’s going

to be very very healthy for the liver so

we have intamin fasting a lots of

cruciferous vegetables you want to steam

them or slightly cook them or even

consume them fermented because you also

release more antioxidants if you do that

also get on a healthy keto plan

ketogenic plan I put a link down below

if you’re new to this but that will

actually lower your carbs okay and

that’s gonna help insulin resistance

right there and that’s gonna lower

oxidative stress just by that action the

combination of healthy keto and

intermittent fasting together is very

powerful for any type of inflammatory

condition and this right here of course

you want to avoid alcohol because you

don’t want to do anything that damages

the liver cell and minimize any

medications you’re on get with your

doctor to do that because again the

medications have side effects and

sometimes people say well can I take

prednisone or cortisone shots because

that’s an anti-inflammatory yes it is

but the amount of damage that’s gonna

create another parts of the body is not

going to be good you probably dropped

inflammation for a short period of time

but then actually have more damage in

other parts of the body and the last

thing I want to mention is this this

little virus right here how do we do

with this virus viruses tend to beat you

up when you’re rundown and you’re

unhealthy when your resistance is low so

the real only solution to a virus is to

be super healthy to have so much health

that the virus kind of can eventually go

in remission and stay in remission

because you can really cool embarrass

you want to do everything you can to

minimize stress so these actions have

the capacity to minimize damage control

and increase the longevity of the liver
