Hepatitis - Foods to USE and AVOID Hepatitis diet Protect Your Liver The liver is such a powerful filtering organ. Every five minutes, your entire blood supply is filtered through it. As blood filters through, the liver removes the toxins (anything poisonous to your body). The liver has an amazing capacity to keep doing its job even while damaged, but eventually too much damage will reduce liver function. Therefore, it's in your best interest to reduce toxins to your liver. Some common toxins to the liver:
Foods to AVOID
Animal products - Animal products should be avoided for several reasons. First of all when you consume animal products you consume what that particular animal has consumed. If it was fed with grains that have been chemically sprayed you also are eating those chemicals. Then there are the injections, growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, etc. If the product is in the form of meat, then you have just added stress to the digestive process, stressing the liver, gall bladder. Meat is one of the hardest foods to digest. It can sit in the stomach for 5-7 days and ferment, causing flu like symptoms, gas, bloating, and even more stress. Caffeine, including colas, chocolate, coffee, some teas, OTC meds. A good substitute for coffee is an antioxidant herbal tea. Caffeine of course is a stimulant. Stimulating the liver can cause stress to the liver. If you are in the habit of drinking caffeinated beverages you need to eliminate them slowly as they are addicting. If you stop too suddenly you can have withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, nausea, irritability, and weak shakes. Tap water - drink distilled water only. No filtered water. Your tap water may contain more than you bargained for, including chlorine, fluoride, inorganic chemicals and compounds that the liver is not able to process. Filtered water is of course better than tap water but filters breed bacteria. In order to reduce the stress from the liver you need to give it the purest form of water possible which is distilled water. Even the shower you take every day has toxins in it which are absorbed through the skin and inhaled through the lungs. If you can possibly purchase a water filter you would be doing yourself a great favor. Junk foods - Junk foods are our favorite foods but the name fits, Junk is junk, meaning worthless. Our body does not get a good source of nutrition from junk foods and most often they are full of all the things we need to stay away from, fats, sugars, empty calories, chemicals, additives, etc. Our poor livers don't need this added stress. White flour unless it is organic and unbleached - Bleached white flour has been chemically processed. Lots of vitamins and minerals are lost during the process, about 78%. When we consume this chemically altered product our bodies need extra vitamins and minerals in order to process it and utilize it. Isn't this the opposite of what we want? We want to eat foods that will nourish the body, not make it work harder. Hydrogenated oils - Hydrogenated (they are refined) oils are another product that is hard for the liver to handle. Any type of oil or fat that hardens when cold. A better choice would be flaxseed oil or virgin olive oil. Dairy products (animal) - Dairy foods are extremely hard to digest and again you are eating whatever the animal ate. Yogurt is not considered a dairy product but be sure to read the labels as the commercial brands are usually high in sugar content. A yogurt maker is a great investment. Fruit juices - Fruit juices are high in concentrated sugar. Sugar is a shock to the liver, stresses the digestive process, stresses the pancreas, and it feeds the virus. Artificial sweeteners (use liquid stevia instead) - The first word gives you the first clue, artificial. These sweeteners are extremely hard for the liver to process. Your poor liver doesn't even recognize what this substance is. Processed foods - we all know processed foods contain unnatural substances, preservatives, fillers, and chemically treated substances. Common sense tells us this is not healthy for us. Enough calories. Anorexia is a symptom associated with advanced cirrhosis that can make it difficult for someone to get enough calories. Usually, this only lasts a short period of time, brief enough for your body to get by on its reserves. However, if it lasts for several days or weeks, you probably aren't getting the nutrition you need. One solution is to discuss with your physician whether you're getting enough food or enough of the right foods. The right amount of protein. Meats, milk, nuts and cheese are all good sources of protein. Protein is an important nutrient and it's absolutely necessary for good health. People with chronic hepatitis should be able to enjoy moderate amounts of protein without worry. As long as your liver is working properly, protein shouldn't be a problem. However, too much protein is bad for people with advanced cirrhosis and can lead to brain disease as the excess protein accumulates in the blood. Again, the liver is responsible for keeping protein at safe levels, but when the liver is damaged as is the case with decompensated cirrhosis, it can't do as much as it did before. While it's important to eat enough protein, too much is harmful. Talk with your doctor to determine what's the best amount of protein for you. Enough vitamins and minerals. Some people with chronic hepatitis, especially those with alcoholic hepatitis or advanced cirrhosis, may not be getting enough of the fat-soluble vitamins and necessary minerals they need through their diet. Your doctor or nutritionist may measure your levels of vitamins A, D and E to check your clotting time. One solution to this deficiency is using doctor-prescribed supplements. Otherwise you'll need to make certain you get these vitamins and minerals the old-fashioned way: through a balanced diet. Prepare Meals with Your Liver In Mind Low-fat meals. The liver is an incredibly important organ to your body. It's involved with many aspects of nutrition. One important function of the liver is to produce bile, which the body uses to emulsify dietary fats, such as from potato chips or hamburgers. Before the body can absorb the fats and use their nutritional energy, all fats must be prepared by this process. However, depending on the damage to your liver, you might not be able to prepare enough bile to handle a meal high in fats. As a result, you might suffer indigestion because of the undigested fat. One solution is just to eat low-fat foods. An alternative is to eat very small amounts of a high-fat food. Small meals. Because your liver is damaged, it isn't able to store as much energy as it once could. One of the jobs of the liver is to store the chemical glycogen, which it can quickly give back to the body when it needs immediate energy. Most people can store relatively large amounts of glycogen in their livers, but when the liver is damaged with fibrosis, the scar tissue takes away valuable storage space for glycogen. This explains one reason why people with chronic liver disease often get tired quickly. One solution is to eat small, frequent meals making sure to include carbohydrates. This gives your body the chance to replace its glycogen reserves. Healthful foods. Your body needs good nutrition whether you have chronic hepatitis or not. To achieve good nutrition means that you're getting the nutrients you need (vitamins, minerals, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber) from the foods you eat. The quality and types of foods are important: fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats (chicken, turkey, pork) and whole grains (barley, brown rice, whole wheat breads and oat meal). Exercise. Along with nutrition, exercise is an essential part of good health. Some of the common symptoms associated with chronic hepatitis in the setting of no cirrhosis or cirrhosis that isn't too advanced, such as fatigue or depressed mood, may be improved with regular, moderate exercise. You should begin any exercise program gradually and, depending on your level of health, under a physician's guidance, if needed. Most exercise, however small the amount, is very beneficial to your health and well-being. It is an excellent complement to good nutrition. SHIITAKE (Lentinus Edodes) SHIITAKE (Lentinus Edodes, Siangu, fragrance fungus, black fungus) is known for exceptional taste and color. Worldwide, it is also known under one name – sleeping Buddha mushroom. The ancient monks in Japan were tapping the tree on which this kind of fungus grew on with special wooden hammers for a single purpose – to raise a “sleeping micelle”, as well as Buddha, so that he would not forget to give Shiitake extraordinary healing properties. Shiitake healing properties are unique as well – it is confirmed by multithousand history of Fungotherapy and many clinical researches carried out in Europe, America and Russia. This fungus is a sensation for biochemists sinse there were two things at once discovered: polysaccharide lentinan, that has unique effect on protecting against cancer, which is not typical to any other single plant, and volatile compounds of mushrooms so called “mushroom phytoncides”, that are able to fight with a variety of viruses, starting from “innocent” rhinoviruses (rhinitis virus) and ending with HIV, have been isolated for the first time. Lentinan is used as a complex measure with patients who have cancer, because it prevents development of various tumors and metastasis, through immune system activation (Moriya, 1984). Lentinan bind to specific cell surface or plasma proteins, which activate macrophages, T-helpers, T-destroyers and other muscular and granular cells. These activation mechanisms increase the level of antibodies, interleukins (IL-a, IL-2, IL-12) and u-interferon. Thus, the protecting effect of Lentinan against cancer is through strengthening the body’s immune system. Immunomodulating effect of polysaccharide extends the capabilities of its use, so it is used in various immunodeficiency conditions. After using Lentinan, the decreased activity of immunocompetent cells is renewed. At the same time T-helpers resume, which increases the number of activated macrophages and antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, enhances interactions of immunocompetent cells. Thus, the result of polysaccharide Lentinan is corrected immune. It’s a great regulator of the immune system and a good prophylaxis and treatment tool against col and viral diseases. In addition, Shiitake has a remarkable capacity to reduce cholesterol level, normalize blood pressure, inhibit organism’s pathogenic flora. For diabetes patients this fungus is also beneficial as it reduces blood sugar levels. If the patient is dependent on insulin, this fungus is also relevant, as it helps to avoid vascular complications. Overall, this fragrance fungus has a wide range of medical properties.

Linchzhi is a fungus called “immortality mushroom”. In traditional Chinese medicine Linchzhi has received the highest rating, because its action spectrum is very broad, and it has no side effects. The chemical composition of this fungus is very rich. Proteins are rich with common irreversible and replaceable amino acids and amines. Fat is mostly from polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mushroom is rich in vitamins (mostly C and D) and minerals (calcium, phosphorus and iron). Compared with other herbs, Linchzhi contains more active polysaccharides. Only these types of mushrooms have acids of a triterpenoid ganoderm group with a molecular structure similar to steroid hormones. Ganoderm acids have ant allergic effects and improve oxygen uptake. Linchzhi (Ling-shi, Reishi, Ganoderma Lucidum) Studies have shown that protective anticancer effect from medicinal mushrooms is related to the presence of fat substances and polysaccharides contained in themwhich is likely to be ergosterin. Linchzhi may be distinguished from many other medicinal mushrooms by the fact, that they are not only rich in active polysacchsarides that protect against cancer, but also in so called terpenoids, which increase resistance to stress, promote superoxide dismutase operations, prevent accumulation of free radicals. The specific effects of polysaccharides manifest through activated macrophages and T-lymphocytes, stimulated interferon and improved overall cellular immune response. These mushrooms are not toxic to human and, in medical point of view, are safe. Upgrade of damaged immune system (including patients with AIDS) as well as protection against cancer depends on the use durability of Linchzhi mushroom. Linchzhi is simultaneously a toning and adaptogenic agent. Toning strengthens the body and adaptogenic – helps to overcome stress. Linchzhi is a natural adaptogen, enhancing health and normalizing body functions. It not only strenghens a number of immune response components for patients with cancer, but also inhibits pathological immune changes in patients with autoimmune diseases. Modern laboratory and clinical research have indentified anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial, anti allergic, and anticancer protection properties of the fungus Linchzhi. Especially significant therapeutic effects of Linchzhi fungus are observed with treatment of patients with raspiratory tract disease (chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, etc.). It can be concluded that the Linchzhi mushroom can be used in four main areas:
