Strong Back is another herb which grows deep in the rainforest and which has proved to be very effective for managing chronic hepatitis C. It is a climbing vine whose botanical name is Desmodium adscendens (sometimes called amor seco or Strong Back herb).
People with liver pain from this condition have found relief in 24 hours and over a period of 60-90 days their elevated liver enzyme levels drop dramatically. But it doesn’t actually kill the hepatitis virus–it works on liver repair.
The herb which has shown in animal studies to kill the hepatitis virus is called “Chanca Piedra” or Break-Stone. It looks like a small fern and grows in swampy areas of the rainforest.
