Traditional Chinese medicine might be able to cure
viral hepatitis and ascites due to cirrhosis, as released by a medical
monograph of an expert in hepatitis.
In his newly published book of "Study on
Cirrhosis," Wang Yue, doctor with the Epidemic Prevention Station
in Qufu City of east China's Shandong Province, said that materials
extracted from a herb can kill the virus that causes hepatitis B.
Sources said that clinic experiments carried
out among about 388 cases prove the validity of the herb material.
Medicine was produced based on that material in 1998 and has been
approved through a provincial test.
Wang also abandoned traditional methods for
treating ascites and found a new therapy, which has healed at least
one patient suffering from late-period ascites due to cirrhosis.
Wang started to collect and examine herbs with
medical efficiency in the mountainous areas in the 1980s. He has
developed more than 200 therapies dealing with various diseases
and was rewarded by Ministry of Health.
