Based on research findings, other than treatment , you can keep yourself healthy by & avoiding alcohol, eating a low fat diet, & exercise. There is nothing that will eliminate the hep c virus except for two things: (1) treatment with the standard pegylated interferon & ribavirin (50-80% chance of clearing the virus depending on your genotype, viral load, race, and other health variables)
and (2) your body's own ability to spontaneously clear the virus (20% of people exposed to hep c will clear it on their own, but that occurs usually in the acute stage- within the first year).
Hope this answers your question. Best wishes.

Chronic hepatitis C is usually treated with interferon and Ribavirin. You should avoid alcohol at all costs. There really aren't any vitamins or anything that will cure the hep C, but the healthier you are the better your chances will be. Your liver is the organ affected here, so take care of it as best you can. It would be best if you discussed this with your doctor, He/She would be in a better position to counsel you.
