How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Autoimmune Hepatitis?
Mainstream medicine's approach to autoimmune hepatitis is suppress and hope the enzymes behave.
High ALT? Prednisone. Add azathioprine. Taper if the numbers look polite. Relapse? Raise the dose. Bone thin, sleep wrecked, blood sugar up? "That's the cost of saving the liver." The antibody is the whole story they tell.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Autoimmune Hepatitis?
Commonly missed root causes of autoimmune hepatitis include molecular mimicry, leaky gut antigens, viral leftovers, and hormone and toxin load.
An autoantibody is a flag. It is not the reason the immune system aimed at hepatocytes. Steroids can save tissue in a flare. They do not remove the molecular mimic, the leaky gut antigen stream, the viral leftover, or the hormone and toxin load that keeps the liver looking like a target. Quiet enzymes on high-dose suppression are not the same as a settled immune system.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why is your immune system treating liver cells as the enemy?
