title: Successful Treatment of Chronic Viral Hepatitis With High-dilution Medicine.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Two cases of viral hepatitis that had failed conventional therapy are presented. Both were subsequently treated with protocols using homeopathic medicines as detailed below. Both patients sustained remissions for 2 years after taking ultradilute natural medicines after their conventional treatment had been discontinued.
  
  
  METHODS
  The treatment protocol included Chelidonium majus 6X and Thuja 30C as the main medicines. Other homeopathic medicines were used as detailed below. Cases were confirmed with standard hepatitis antibody and viral measurements. Patients were followed for more than 2 years with measurements of viral counts, liver enzymes, and other relevant biomarkers of liver disease.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Both patients are alive and functioning normally in their home environments more than 2 years after treatment initiation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We review the literature related to the chief medicines used in these cases and find that they have known and demonstrated therapeutic effects suggesting plausible mechanisms of action in these cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Clinical trials of this homeopathic treatment protocol should be conducted to explore the therapeutic potential of these medicines for treatment of viral hepatitis.
