They are working on creating a new drug for use in combating hepatitis C. They are using a substance called naringenin. It is a substance found in grapefruit and other citrus fruits.

Hepatitis is the major cause of liver disease in the world. The problem with current hepatitis treatments (the reason they are looking for better ones) is that they don't work very well, and they have negative side effects.

The problem is that they want to isolate naringenin from grapefruit and concentrate it, and put it into a pill that they can patent and sell. In other words, they want to make a new drug. Of course, experience shows that any time we concentrate a substance and give it to people it always causes unwanted side effects.

Why? Because it causes an unnatural imbalance in the body.

Modern medicine has gone so far down the road of drugging everyone for every little thing, that they can't even recognize the ridiculousness of their methods.

The original idea was of course a common thought that many of us have when we are immature and inexperienced. "If a little of this helps the body to heal, then a lot of it will help even more."

News flash!!! More is not always better. Sometimes it is just more. Sometimes it is dangerous.

Naringenin is only a small part of what makes up a grapefruit. There are many other things in a grapefruit that can also help to optimize health. The creator balances these things in such away that it also helps to balance body systems.

Man has shown his ignorance time and time again in his inability to understand and balance the systems of the body.

Hepatitis actually means inflammation of the liver. Inflammation denotes that something has harmed or caused damage. The liver is a major organ in the body that is important in metabolism and also helps in detoxification. Guess what most drugs have in common. They eventually cause kidney and/or liver damage.

So the whole idea to create a drug to help with hepatitis is somewhat ludicrous.

Of course one can always hope for that magic pill that will cause healing and have no negative side effects. But that isn't reality when you look at the history of medicine. History has many important lessons for us. However we are usually too egotistical. We think that we are now so much smarter than people were in the past, we can do the same things with a different outcome.

The researchers working on this new drug are also quick to point out the you can't get the beneficial result by simply eating grapefruit. Why? Because you would have to eat a lot of it to get the same effect (duh, they concentrated it), and if you eat too much grapefruit it might interfere with other drugs that you may be taking.

Why would grapefruit interfere with drug effectiveness? Because it helps to detoxify the body, and drugs are toxins.

To avoid hepatitis and other virus related infections, or any infections for that matter, do things that will boost your immune system. The best thing that you can do is to eat good wholesome food, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, get regular exercise, think happy thoughts and allow your body to do it's thing.

Of course with hepatitis in particular you also want to avoid promiscuous sexual relationships as well as homosexual relationships.

Avoid toxins of all kinds as much as possible. Recognize that anything can become a toxin if taken in excess.

Just eat a high quality natural foods diet, exercise, drink plenty of good clean water, make sure you get fiber (whole raw foods), get plenty of sleep, breathe deeply and have a gratitude attitude.

Your body will take care of you, if you take care of it.
