I met 2 people in my life that have been vegetarian for many years.
Then they got this nasty disease, had a very bad condition and doctors suggested them to start eat meat. So they started and continued this way.
One of them was vegetarian for 8 years... :\

From the other side my brother when he was a child had both hepatitis A and B. For those who don't know hepatitis B is never totally treated. Once been sick you alaways have the virus in your blood. And you have too keep a special diet take care of the liver. So my brother was vegetarian for many years already and he feels quite well. I would say he feels much better than many nonvegs.
The question is: Were those doctors right by suggesting to start eat meat in a Hepatitis case?
