After acquiring near fatal Hepatitis-E in 2016, near fatal Meningitis in 2018, being diagnosed with an incurable genetic condition in 2020 (Alpha-1) and surviving severe Covid in 2022 I have finally received my assessment results and all is good again. After six years of trips to ITU, medications, blood tests, scans, biopsies and operations and being fitted with a defibrillator it's time to finally take back control once more, a huge thank you to my consultants and my fabulous GP who without, I would certainly no longer be here.....
Phyllanthus Niruri or Stonebreaker is a natural healer of liver related diseases, kidney stones, hepatitis B, and Jaundice.
www.allayurveda.com/bhumiamla-herb.asp
Benefits of Bhumi Amla :
The scientists across the world have been attracted towards the anti- viral properties of Phyllanthus niruri. The extract of the plant has been found to cure even acute inflammation of liver. As such it is justified that the extract of this plant can cure Hepatitis caused by viruses of Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B. The extract of this plant has been found to be clinically effective in the Viral Hepatitis B along current parameters. It is due to the anti-viral properties that experiments on P. niruri are going on across the world today, and scientists hope that the plant may also be helpful in the treatment of AIDS. The extract of the plant has been proved to be non-toxic by researchers from the different parts of the world. Current researches on the chemical analysis of the extract of this plant show that its leaves contain Lignansniranthin, Nirtetralin, and phyltetralin chemical compounds. The seeds of this plant contain Ricinoleic acid, Linoleic acid, and Linolenic acid (54%). Fisetin-4-0-glucoside, a new Flavon glycoside has been isolated from the aerial parts of this plant.
It prevents from jaundice, diabetes, dyspepsia, ulcers, sores, swellings, ophthalmia and chronic dysentry.
Whole plant is useful for the treatment of some forms of gonorrhoea, dropsy, menorrhagia and other genitor –urinary affections of a similar type.
A poultice of the leaves mixed with salt cures itch and other skin affections.
It is bitter, astringent, cold, anti inflammatory, hepatoprotective and useful in liver disorders, cough, asthma, jaundice, spleen disorders.
Phyllanthus may help decrease the amount of hepatitis B virus found in the blood stream.

Dear Ms. Vinch:
Thank you for your e-mail inquiry concerning Interstate Blood Bank, Inc. in Louisville, KY. The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), one of seven centers within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is responsible for the regulation of many biologically-derived products, including blood intended for transfusion, blood components and derivatives, vaccines and allergenic extracts, human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps), gene therapy and xenotransplantation products.
FDA is charged with protecting the safety of the nation’s blood supply and ensuring an adequate supply of suitable blood for use in the United States and regulates the procedures for the collection and screening of blood. We hope the following information will be helpful.
CBER requires all establishments that collect, manufacture, prepare, store blood and blood products under controlled conditions for further distribution, or process blood and blood products to register and submit a product list within 5 days after beginning operation. Blood and plasma establishments must register annually between November 15 and December 31 and update product listings every June and December. The Agency maintains a database of registered blood and plasma establishments in the Blood Establishment Registration (BER) database. Please note that being registered with FDA does not mean a firm is in compliance with FDA regulations. Registration with FDA means that an establishment has notified FDA of its business address and their blood products. Registration enables FDA to know what blood establishments are out there so we can do periodic inspections.
The link to the public query of registered blood establishments (BER) can be found at the following link on FDA’s website: www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/GuidanceComplianceRegu.... I was able to find the establishment in question in that database with a current registration. The listing has the address of the establishment along with contact information of the Corporate Medical Director for that facility should you wish to contact them. Additionally, the Blood Establishment Registration database shows the licensed blood and blood products the establishment has notified FDA they are manufacturing.
Please know that FDA does not have regulatory authority over the advertisement/information that Dell provides in the link you gave us. As noted above, the Agency regulates the blood and plasma establishments. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that blood and plasma establishments must follow can be found in Title 21 of the CFRs, Parts 600-680 includes information for biological products: general, licensing, good manufacturing practice for blood and blood components, establishment registration for manufacturers of blood and blood products, product standards, requirements for human blood and blood products. A registered blood establishment must have a biologics license or an approved license supplement for each product it distributes in interstate commerce.
We hope this information is useful.
If you need further assistance, you may contact our office again at ocod@fda.hhs.gov or by phone at 1-800-835-4709.

Dear Jill -
Thank you for your timely response. I appreciate the input however I had submitted a previous FOIA request on the clinical trial results for Splenda back in 2009 (below) and still have not received those - perhaps you may not be aware the FDA is non-responsive to FOIA requests?

Poor William Griffith (1810-1845), another of those intrepid doctors and naturalists in the service of one or more of the East India Companies of European Powers. A civil surgeon and botanist serving the English East India Company, he travelled widely under often appalling conditions through northern India, the Himalayas, Burma... He came finally to Malacca in present-day peninsular Malaysia, where he died of hepatitis in 1845. His notes on plants and flowers and his journals were finally published at Calcutta by the British colonial government of Bengal in 1854. Among this material is his description of this member of the Ginger family.
'Alpinia' had already been used by Carolus Linnaeus (1753) to name this particular genus after Prospero Alpini (1553-1617). Linnaeus had been grateful to this avid Padovan medical doctor and botanist for his insight that plants - as much as animals - differ sexually, an important aspect of Linnaeus's taxonomy. The 'conchigera', 'having or carrying a '"shell"' - I guess 'scallop' might be appropriate here - is obvious from the photo.
The Malay name is Lengkuas genting, and the Dutch term - longterm colonial power in these regions from Malacca to Indonesia - was derived from that word: 'Lengoewas'. In fact, a synomym for this plant in Latin is 'Lenguas conchigera'
This Alpinia can be found all over this area. Curiously, I haven't really been able to find any comparable photos (but maybe I've looked in the wrong places). These flowers are indeed quite small: not more than about 5 mm. I was surprised that my little Sony T900 was intricate enough to make this shot.
Yes... 'poor' William Griffith... apparently this ginger can be used effectively against liver ailments, as was first demonstrated scientifically around 1890. Too late to save our enterprising botanist.
This photo was taken in that lovely Rimba Ilmu of the University of Malaysia! This morning I saw other examples of the plant in the Lake Gardens herbal garden, but they were not nearly as beautiful...

On the program: the mandatory temples, craters, junglist explorations, sulfur mines, deserted beach resorts and the occasional ex-Dutch colonial settlements.

This specimen was found in a recent trip to Africa suffering from a catastrophic liver failure that toned its skin too yellow to its own safe. It had to be put in captivity for further investigation.
Only 1000 tribal people live in Hana
Mursi. The government plans to settle 300 000 people from all over Ethiopia over the next few years into the area. Along with the workers and soldiers, AIDS and Hepatitis B are coming too.
A local nurse said that he started to test the Bodis and found very high levels of Hepatitis B. The tribes don’t use condoms. Mursi and Suris are used to fighting in traditional stick fights, and the winners get to choose girls. Free sex is common before weddings.

I helped my buddy out with a school project yesterday.
He had to design a poster and he went with the slogan :Get tattooed in a home, get free hepatitis' which is going to be used as an actual poster in a tattoo shop here in Tallahassee.
He wanted it to be kinda grungy and dirty looking and I think we did a pretty good job on it.
Our friend Victoria modeled for us and she was awesome. Definitely the easiest model I have worked with, and not bad on the eyes!
Enjoy!

Holy Hepatitis C Boomers, how 'bout a flash back!
I was trolling along in my usual fugue state through the local Target the other day and found myself marveling at the largest display of travel-sized condiments I have ever seen. Among the shampoos, cremes and emollients in adorable little containers, way down at the bottom this-stuff-doesn't-sell shelf was a tub full of tiny bottles of DR. BRONNER'S 18-IN-1 HEMP PEPPERMINT PURE-CASTILE SOAP (forever capitalized).
Now many of you – for a variety of reasons – do not remember the Golden Age of Showering (admittedly I could have put a little more thought into editing this, but let's press on....) in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Our parents lathered with Dial and Prell, but we rebels, having moved away and into some truly appalling communal living situations turned, almost universally, to DR. BRONNER'S 18-IN-1 for all our personal hygiene needs whether we needed all 18 or not.
I doubt if any of us tested all of the good doctor's claims for usage, but we didn't particularly care, for it was the one soap for both body and hair our parents wouldn't have touched with a pole and really cheap to boot. Two huge pluses.
But let's be honest here, we bought it mostly for the label. Oh, that label, relatively unchanged to this day, is an epic unending 6pt concoction of Dr. Bronner's 13 step MORAL ABC's ALL-IN-ONE GOD FAITH LAW thing, along with 10 (out of the advertised 18) listed suggestions for use, the other eight best left to the imagination I suppose. It should be noted that #9 of the stated uses is for spraying on plants to rid them of bugs.
Here's a sample sentence: “Enjoy body rub to stimulate body-mind-soul-spirit and teach the Essene Moral ABC uniting all free in the shepherd-astronomer Isreal's greatest All-One-God-Faith!”
Reading this stuff was maybe not the most fun you could possibly have in the shower but for many of us it would have to do as, at least for me, that Free-Love thing in the 60's was sadly over-hyped.
The 2 oz travel size version I brought home did not have room for the entire 13-step program but even a quick look will give you a sense of the cheerful typographic smegma of the original. At my first opportunity I took full advantage of the 18-IN-1 HEMP PEPPERMINT PURE CASTILE SOAPing experience, had a brief flash back to the glorious 60's, and emerged from my shower redolent of festive, pepperminty hawsers.
The travel size is recommended for wanna-time-traveler boomers, even minus the extra verbiage, but probably 2oz will be more than you'll ever need – unless, of course, you've got bugs on your plants.

Según los médicos la mayoría de las personas no sabe sobre esta enfermedad, que puede ser más peligrosa que el HIV. Se contagia principalmente por transmisión sexual y provoca problemas o desequilibrios hepáticos.
La información es nuestra primera arma contra la hepatitis B. Por ello en este artículo de Siendo Saludable queremos que aprendas sobre ella. Sigue leyendo para saber más.
Hepatitis B: causas y síntomas
En el sitio Medine Plus nos informan que
El virus de la hepatitis B (VHB) causa la infección por hepatitis B. Usted puede contraer hepatitis B a través del contacto con sangre o fluidos corporales (semen, los flujos vaginales y la saliva) de una persona que tenga el virus.
En cuánto a los síntomas en el mismo portal indican que la hepatitis B:
Puede que no tenga ningún síntoma.
Puede sentirse enfermo durante un período de días o semanas.
Puede resultar muy enfermo con gran rapidez (llamada hepatitis fulminante).
Es posible que los síntomas de la hepatitis B no aparezcan hasta 6 meses después del momento de la infección. Los síntomas iniciales incluyen:
Inapetencia
Fatiga
Febrícula
Dolores musculares y articulares
Náuseas y vómitos
Piel amarilla y orina turbia
¿Quiénes puedes contraer Hepatitis B?
Hemos leído en la web del Instituto Nacional de Diabetes y enfermedades digestivas y renales (NIH por sus siglas en inglés) que
Todos pueden contraer hepatitis B, pero las personas más propensas son aquellas que
nacieron de una madre con hepatitis B
están en contacto con sangre, agujas o fluidos corporales en el trabajo

Hepatitis B y cirrosis
Diario de Pozarica, México, alerta sobre las consecuencias de no recibir tratamiento para la Hepatitis B:
Cerca del 90 por ciento de las personas que padecen hepatitis pueden curarse si reciben el tratamiento adecuado y oportuno, contribuyendo esto a reducir el riesgo de muerte por causa de cáncer de hígado o cirrosis, informó la Secretaría de Salud (SS). La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) señaló que en las Américas las hepatitis virales causan más de 125 mil muertes al año, cifra que es comparada por las muertes por VIH y tuberculosis, casi un 99 por ciento de este tipo de fallecimientos es por consecuencias de hepatitis B y C.
¿Un spray para prevenir la Hepatitis B?
Infobae de Argentina nos informa sobre un nuevo descubrimiento científico: un aerosol que previene el contagio de hepatitis B:
Investigadores del Centro de Neurociencia y de la Facultad de Farmacia de la Universidad de Coimbra de Portugal desarrollaron, en colaboración con la Universidad de Ginebra, Suiza, una “vacuna” contra la hepatitis B. Esta se presenta en forma de spray nasal y funciona a base de nanopartículas poliméricas que transportan las moléculas terapéuticas en cuestión desde la nariz hasta el interior de las células. Su fácil aplicación es una de sus principales ventajas -sobre todo en países sub desarrollados –no sólo por no necesitar de un profesional sino por la reducción del costo de su fabricación.
Consulta con tu médico de confianza para vacunarte contra la Hepatitis B lo antes posible y ten en cuenta los riesgos de contagio.

Shortly after this talk at NASA Ames yesterday, Nobel Laureate Dr. Baruch Blumberg died of a heart attack.
I have the peculiar sense that I may have taken the very last photo of this great man’s life.
For those unfamiliar with him, he discovered the hepatitis B virus and developed the vaccine, saving millions of lives. The NYT eulogy today “compared his discoveries to those of Jonas Salk, developer of the polio vaccine.”
But his connection to NASA comes from another activity, one that I have found fascinating over the years. In his second career, he was the founding director of NASA’s Astrobiology Institute, “to address three profound questions: How does life begin and evolve? Does life exist elsewhere in the universe? And what is life’s future on Earth and beyond?”
“To these seemingly disparate endeavors — investigating disease-causing organisms and postulating alien or primordial life forms — Dr. Blumberg contributed a broadened understanding of the evolutionary phenomenon called polymorphism, in which a species can adapt to an environment through changes in appearances and functions.”
Speaking yesterday at NASA’s International Lunar Research Park Exploratory Workshop (brainstorming how to establish a permanent moon base):
“This sounds like a classic NASA mission. One: it sounds impossible. Two: it has no funding. [laughter] That’s a guarantee for success.”
“When we went to the moon, we discovered Earth.”
Life is precious.

Mych was abruptly taken from us by a sudden onset of acute hepatitis, eitology unknown, at age 8.
He is very sadly missed.
Run with the wind, my sweet sparkly-eyed boy....
WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
Author Unknown
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head
In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand,
And poke you with my nose?
We'd run agility courses with all our hearts
And for photos I'd gladly pose!
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven's gate,
And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me,
From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity,
And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
For you see, each days's the same day,
There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.

Hasta hace pocos años, los pacientes de hepatitis C en Chile sólo contaban con la terapia de interferón y ribavirina. Esta traía muchas contraindicaciones y sólo un pequeño porcentaje lograba recuperarse. Hoy, con las nuevas terapias los pacientes prácticamente no sufren contraindicaciones y cerca de un 98% se recupera totalmente.
