The smoothie for prevention and treatment of acute hepatitis
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup avocado
1 1/4 cups grape


1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately

The finding of a natural source for treatment of  Acute Hepatitis C has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Recent studies back by well known institutions proposed Avocado, Pomegranates juice, and Grape may be the next generation of natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of Acute Hepatitis C.

Acute hepatitis C is an inflammation caused by hepatitis viruses C. According to the Bezmialem Vakif University, Oxidative stress is a common pathogenetic mechanism contributing to progression of hepatic damage caused by inflammatory liver disorders, including acute and chronic hepatitis(1). In take of antioxidants may be the best strategy for prevention and treatment of acute hepatitis(1).

Pomegranates is a fruit-bearing small tree, genus Punica, belonging to family Lythraceae, native to Iran but has been cultivated in Asian since ancient time. According to the joint study led by the Indian Institute of Science, an acute dose of 5000 mg/kg in BALB/c mice of omegranate (Punica granatum) fruit peel inhibited the HCV NS3/4A protease activity in prevention and control of HCV induced complications(2).

Ebselen, a synthetic medication mimic the function of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in expression of anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and cytoprotective activity. exhibited anti acute hepatitis C through inhibition of the NS3 protease involved in HCV genome replication(3)
Avocado is one of the fruits can induced the generation of more glutathione peroxidase (GPx) from the body.
Dr. Mutlu-Türkoglu U and colleagues at the joint study led by the University of Ystanbul, said, Interferon-alpha (IFN alpha) treatment of acute hepatitis C improve the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in reduction of oxidative stress in patients with acute hepatitis C(5)

Resveratrol, an antioxidant derived from grapes reduced acute hepatic Injury by concanavalin-A- (ConA-) induced autoimmune hepatitis in animal model through modulate the inflammatory process by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines IL-2, IL-6, and TNF-α(4).

The effectiveness of Avocado, Pomegranates juice, and Grape on Acute Hepatitis C  may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for reduced risk treatment of Acute Hepatitis C  with little or no adverse effects.

People who are at high risk of Acute Hepatitis C  due to family history, weaken immune system,..... should drink at least one serving daily and people with Acute Hepatitis C  should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.
Life style and dietary patter change are recommended.
