Ascites - Editor's Choice

My wife had cirrhosis of the liver caused by long term diabetes and some of the medications she has been on. In one month they have drawn 10 liters of fluid off her abdomen. She was in the hospital 5 days while they were determining what was causing it. They sent the fluid off and determined there were no cancer cells. She is 81 years old & has had type II diabetes for the last 13 years and has had to take Lantus shots daily. They removed 4 liters of fluid the first time.

We came home and about a week or so later she started blowing up again. We put her back in the hospital and they drew off over 6 liters this time. They went down through her throat and inspected the liver and made their diagnosis. The doubled the dosage on the water pill she was taking. I talked to the Dr about starting her on Milk thistle and he said that is a great idea because they know it helps the liver. It actually helps the liver rebuild cells.

I also started her on a Turmeric from mega foods called turmeric strength for liver. it also has milk thistle, schisandra berry extract & black pepper. Your body can't process much or the turmeric without black pepper or oil of black pepper.

I also started her on Ginger, yellow dock & dandelion root. After starting this almost two weeks ago, she had actually lost 4 pounds and no more fluid collecting. She is more cognitive, walking better & think on the mend. I give the capsules twice daily.

Doctors have acknowledged for years that milk thistle seed is great for the liver. They refer to it as sylimarin.

Dandelion & yellow dock helps to flush toxins out of the liver.

My belly was swollen up like I was 9 months pregnant. Taking ACV, 2 tbsp, 1 tbsp honey and 1 tsp baking soda brought it flat.

I have been reading a lot about ascite in earth clinic but one thing I would like to add that is amazing and fastest cure of ascite and that is tamarind, it works wonder, I have never seen so fast cure of ascite in the world as I observed in a patient and the second thing is homeopathic medicine Chelidonium 6x, a dose is three drops in some water, repeat twice daily and give feedback please, thanks

Serrapeptase for Ascites:

Acquired Ascites this fall as a result of an on-going medical issue - NOT cirrhosis related. I had paracentesis (where they drain you of fluid) and they drained 3. 5 litres - about 8lbs. Ascites will return... You begin by getting tapped every 2 months, then every month, week, daily etc. Mine had started to return, and, truth be told, I was not feeling that great after getting tapped. Because the fluid in my peritoneum was getting watered down with fluid, the viscosity in the peritoneal fluid was lost I. E. My organs were not sliding smoothly over each other, but sticking. Every morning I had 2 ferrets in my abdomen having a knife-fight from 4 to 6 AM (until I had a BM). Pain? I would rather pull a watermelon out of my nose.

Research turned up Serrapeptase, an enzyme from the Japanese silk worm. Long story short, I felt that SerraP could help me - although ascites was not specified (edema was). I started taking 60,000 ui twice a day. Once in the morning, once at night - always empty stomach. It saved my life, I have never been tapped since. Immediate pain relief, fluid went down right away and continued to do so for the next week. Medical condition is still very bad hoodoo, but no more ascites. I needn't live my life floundering with 8 lbs of liquid in my gut, always having to be near a hospital to get drained.
