Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver and
comes in many forms such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. The different letters A, B, and C simply indicate a
different virus causing the hepatitis. The liver becomes tender and enlarged and has problems functioning
normally. This results in a buildup of toxins in the body that would normally be filtered out by the liver. Symptoms
of hepatitis include: appetite loss, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, light colored stools,
muscle aches, drowsiness, dark urine, and often a yellowing of the skin. All forms of hepatitis are
contagious. Hepatitis B is the 9th leading cause of death in the
United States. A lower digestive system
