Need help for a friend with Hep. C.

Hey Andreas,
My best friend was recently diagnosed with Hep. C. She actually introduced me to you via your LF book. She had chronic fatigue (so she thought) and has done about 20 LF's. she started feeling better until a few months ago and started going downhill. She recently got health ins. and got some blood work done to see if there was something going on. After 20 LF's, changing her diet etc. she was diagnosed a couple weeks ago with HCV. She does not know how or when she was infected. Her count is up and she is on the verge of diabetes. They want to send her to a liver specialist and do a biopsy. She wants no part of it and is going to try to heal her liver. She is 51 and may have had this for a very long time.I'm writing this since she does not have a computer. Here are the questions she had.

1) Why would her count be so high after 20 LF's?
2) She is starting a vegan diet but wanted to know if there were any herbs other then milk thistle she should take?
3) Do you have any other suggestions on what she can do to heal her liver and stop anymore damage.
Thank you so much for your time. Gayle
