    There are no non-medication treatments proven to treat Hepatitis C.

    Granted, though, there may be vitamin/herb/etc. regimines that can help, but in conjunction with medical treatment.

    The website below is very helpful. It does not state in the website, but please know that HepC can be transmitted by getting tattoos (sharing of needles) and piercings. Although many "professional" tattoo artists state that they use sterile needles, many places wash needles and repackage them. Also, HepC can be transmitted through dirty ink that was used on a prior person.

    This is a great website for all your questions.
