Preparation and Trials of Hepatitis C – Nosode
Hepatitis C nosode was developed by Dr. Shah around 2008. It is a polyvalent preparation sourced from a standardized preparation containing the Hepatitis C virus. The preparation underwent the process of potentization and ultra-dilution, rendering it free from any toxicity and making it safe for human use.(1) The preparation was made under the observation of a team of scientists including virologists, hepatologists, immunologists, legal experts, and physicians.
Hepatitis C nosode underwent a human trial called Pathogenetic trial (1) as well as Clinical trial(2) on patients suffering from Hepatitis C infection. The studies have demonstrated the anti-Hepatitic C activity of this preparation by reducing the viral load in the responder group. In another interesting study, the study has demonstrated anti-cancer activity of Hepatitis C nosode in a cell line model, against liver cancer. (3)
