The smoothie for prevention and treatment of  Neonatal Hepatitis
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
3/4  cup blue berry
3/4 cup tomato
1 tsp curcumin
1 cup grape juice

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   Neonatal Hepatitis 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.

Neonatal Hepatitis is a condition of liver inflammatory liver diseases occurred in the newborn, mostly within one to two months after birth. According to liver foundation anti viral infection together with intake of vitamin A, D and K should be helpful in fighting of free radicals in induction of oxidative stress(1).

Recent studies back by well known institutions proposed, Blueberry, Tomato, Turmeric and Grape Juice may be the next generation of natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of Neonatal Hepatitis.

Resveratrol is a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly in grape and blueberry may be a potent antioxidant for reduced risk and treatment of neonatal Hepatitis, through its anti viral infection(2). 
Accoridng to the IQ Institute of Infection and Immunity, resveratrol, the anti viral key molecules inhibited against HCV genotype 3a (GT3a) may offer an alternative attraction to target the viral helicase for treatment of hepatitis(3).
In a new human hepatoma cell line system for hepatitis C virus, the anioxidant effectively trigger autophagic cell death through the increased expression of autophagy through cell cycle arrest(4).

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia. The herb has been used in trditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc. Its phytochemical curcumin expressed anti hepatitis B virus (HBV) effect through inhibited HBV gene expression and replication(5).
According to the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), curcumin also reduced tumor incidence at other organ sites and suppressed formation of metastases and should be considered as a contra-indicated for patients suffering from inherited and acquired metal storage diseases that include patients with hepatitis C virus infection(6).
Curcuminoids, derived from the plant Curcuma domestica Val derivatives of curcumin, are effective in suppressing the hepatic microvascular inflammatory response against lipopolysacharide (LPS) through ameliorated expression of inflammatory cytokines(7).

Carotenoids, found abundantly in carrot and tomato also attenuated risk and treatment of neonatal hepatitis C through exhibition of synergistic effect(8). According to the Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, lutein, a member of carotenoids inhibited the activity of HBV through suppressed the secretion of HBsAg(antigen) from HepG2 2.2.15 cells in a dose-dependent manner(9).
Dr, Mawson AR and Dr. Steele TA., professors at the Des Moines University Osteopathic Medical Center, said, "The reduced rate of survival of liver grafts in patients with HBV infection could also be due to the continued presence of the virus, stimulated by retinoids in the graft tissue. "(10).

The effectiveness of Blueberry, Tomato, Turmeric and Grape Juice  may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for reduced risk, complications and treatment of Neonatal Hepatitis with little or no adverse effects.
Women who are at high risk of Neonatal Hepatitis due to family history, environment factors, .... should drink at least one serving daily and women with Neonatal Hepatitis should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.
We don't recommend smoothie for newborn
Life style and dietary patter change are recommended.
