Chinese Medical Ethics in Some Diseases

Hepatitis C & Traditional Herbal Medicine

In China, Hepatitis C has an infection rate of 2.1% - 3.4%. Doc. Ma, a renowned liver disease expert with more than 20 years of experience, has developed a new route of treatment. By combining both modern and traditional medicines, he prescribes medicine according to the patient's pathogenic mechanism, for the purpose of reinforcing body resistance to eliminate pathogens; preventing patient's liver cells from deteriorating, preventing the liver fibers from growing, and avoiding the disease becoming chronic. The purely natural herbal medicine Doc. Ma uses first clears bodily heat, excretes damp, detoxifies poison, then activates blood and eliminates the stagnant.

In his treatment of Hepatitis C, he realizes, although the symptoms resemble those of Hepatitis B, effects of treatment would not be so satisfactory if medicine for chronic disease was applied. But when diagnosed and treated based on an overall analysis of the illness and patient's conditions, plus using the combination of both modern and traditional medicines, a patient's liver functions will become normal in about two weeks. As Hepatitis C tends to repeat itself, especially in such situations as cold, anger, etc., a patient, even after his/her liver functions have returned normal, still has to take medicine for about half a year for rehabilitation. The overall effective rate of Doc. Ma's herbal medicine is 98% while the curative rate 93%.
