Another booklet by Christopher Hobbs called Natural Liver Therapy is helpful for anyone wishing to improve their general health. Eating organic foods whenever possible is essential to combat fatigue so the body doesn't expend energy eliminating pesticides etc. I wonder about the various Chinese herbs - are they subject to Food & Drug guidelines? Astra Essence sounds helpful. I had not thought about targeting the kidneys. With Hep C I have focused on boosting the immune system & helping the liver. Wendy in B.C.
