Natural Remedies for Liver Disease and Liver Damage

What is ALA please? How many mg did you take of ALA & Milk Thistle? Thank you

20+ years ago I was diagnosed and treated for Hep C. At end of treatment tests still showed infection, and that it would most likely come back years later. After starting a regimen of ALA, NAC, Milk Thistle and Selenium I no longer show any infection - and the "professionals" said testing would always show an infection, even if my viral load level was below 10 (it was over 1 millions when I started treatment).

I still take these supplements today and have recently added Sam-E. Don't know if it would work for everyone, but it sure worked for me!

Lynn: Definitely add SAM-e to the protocol your currently using. L-Carnitine is also indicated for fatty liver. This should help.

The following abstracts may be applicable for your husbands condition and gives an approximation of an expected response time.

Melatonin is liver protective and is naturally produced by the body, but production declines as we age.

Melatonin also helps protect the stomach.

Melatonin has a very good safety profile.

I went through something similar with nausea and some chest pain as well. Liver flushes and coffee enemas are the fastest cure for fatty liver and nausea. It may take doing a few of them to get the best results.

Fatty liver and ALA: I need more information about ALA and selenium; how do we know it is working? Will normal liver enzymes show up in a blood panel test in a few months? Am just flying blind here...

Lynn,

I was also diagnosed with fatty liver disease, and found the thing that helped me the most is organic, non-GMO soy lecithin granules. I took 2 teaspoons in the morning for two days and the liver discomfort was gone. I also added milk thistle, ALA and Selenium after a while along with ACV. I have only minor occasional discomfort now, usually when I eat too many bad foods.

Look up gerson therapy.

I am using the plan with ALA and Milk thistle on my father who got his liver damaged from a dose of chemo therapy while his bioduct stent was clogged and it damaged his liver and kidneys.

We are having problems with him swallowing pills and I need to know if it is safe to take the contents of the ALA out of the capsule and put it in something like applesauce for him to take.

Please Help, William

Dear William, We have done this with many different supplements for my children, though we have never used ALA. Since the medicine will still be going straight to the stomach, it seems like it should be fine. ~Mama to Many~

OK next question

I have read a lot on the Budwig diet and I got the book.

??? Is it safe to do the Flax seed oil and cottage cheese plan along with doing the ALA , SAMe , L Carnatine, Milk thistle and the other item that were mentioned????

Hardest thing to get under control is my fathers Sodium level dropping toooo low and the retention of fluids.

Need some good advise, Doctors are not helping anymore they have given up on my father. Can't understand it his blood pressure is great and heart is in great shape along with his lungs.

Reishi Mushroom Tea

I was diagnosed with Hep-C in November 2014.

I have been taking Goldenseal and everyday detox liver tea simmer together with honey, lemon is good too. Milk Thistle as well. I take Echineacha 400 mg 2 caps daily to build your immune system to help fight the virus.. I am feeling better. I have always done natural remedys/herbs all of my life..The hot tea settles smoothly in my body and I am not nauseated when I keep drinking it.

First off, Ascites isn't cancer, it's the fluid leaking out of the damaged blood vessels and spilling the liquid into the surrounding tissue......

Secondly, STOP EATING ANIMAL PRODUCTS. Use a whole food diet of plant based materials and fresh/natural/organic/etc foods. Don't eat things from packages. Shop the outside edge of the supermarket and stock up on fruits and veggies. Limit salt to no more than 2,000 mg a day. It's hard when eating processed food, just to warn ya!

Thirdly, Supplements are great. Sam-e, seleium, milk thistle, vit C. Drinking hot (warm) lemon water first thing out of bed is great. Also coffee enemas are helpful, but graphic. I tend to stay away.

Fourthly, I'm no doctor. I'm telling you what worked for me!

Anyone have an opinion on food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda or borax?

Ascities is NOT stomach cancer. It is the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, causing abdominal swelling. Please do not scare people with your false information.

Green juices are the only way to help the liver to start healing itself. Then, milk thistle and raw garlic after stress is taken off liver and healing has begun.

Oh my gosh. Ascites is definitely not terminal stomach cancer. PLEASE do not listen to any of these people and get your own information from MEDICAL sites, not random people.

I've read many articles about melatonin, it can cause irritation to the stomach...all of you check your facts.

In reply to Jerry R. (Sugar Land, Texas),

Yes, checking facts is important! Melatonin is on my list of very useful supplements for multiple health issues. Here are several abstracts and studies on melatonin suggesting it is gastroprotective among many other health benefits. Something that might be expected from a hormone that is naturally produced by the human body:

Hello Martin,

You say you are looking for alkalizing formulas...the how to do it...just go to "Remedies" on Earth Clinic and under "A" you'll find alkalizing formulas...all Ted's stuff. I know this renal failure issue is frightening but keep up the fight and never quit looking and trying out solutions.

1/2-1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 hr before meals and bed.

What does the baking soda help for?

Baking soda is not advised just before meals as it is highly alkaline and therefore interferes with stomach acids required for good digestion.

Sorry, I just saw this post. I am not sure if after seven years, Martin is still interested in something to treat renal failure.

Cleansing of the colon first, followed by cleansing of either the liver or bladder/kidneys. Colon cleansing has to be done first, before cleansing any of the other organs of elimination. Since we absorb so many toxins through the air, water, environment, etc., doing a colon cleanse, followed by a liver cleanse, kidney/bladder cleanse once a season, four times a year, can be extremely beneficial for our health. This applies to everyone, regardless of where we are living. We could be living on an island far away from civilization and we still are going to have to cleanse our organs of elimination due to the prevalence of toxins in the atmosphere, etc. An organic only, whole-foods, unprocessed, vegan, plant-based diet is extremely helpful.

A raw vegan diet consisting of high-raw foods is even more beneficial. Drinking organic greens juices and organic vegetable juices in the morning, along with organic green smoothies.

Do not eat anything between 4:00am and 12:00pm other than organic fruit, or drinking organic vegetable juices or drinking green smoothies. This is because our bodies go through an elimination cycle at this time. Do not eat after 7:00pm.

See herb doc for more info.

Your post on this subject is very instructive. I am suffering from hepatitis B infection. I tried alpha lipoic acid and milk thistle but each time I take them, I come down with serious abdominal pain. I had to stop the medication. But I am afraid that my liver is at risk. Advice me before please.

Hi Puneeth... Normally the Berkson protocol also includes ALA by IV several times a month, but his essential internal protocol is the following:

ALA -- 300 mgs taken twice a day at mealtimes.
Selenium -- 200 micrograms taken twice a day with meals.
Milk Thistle -- 900 mgs taken twice a day at meals.

Dr Berkson also uses Low Dose Naltrexone, Cysteine and a full vitamin and mineral protocol as well in his remedy. Also taking all the B vitamins daily is important because ALA tends to use up the B vitamns in the body. And if you can't go to Dr Berkson's Clinic in New Mexico, then perhaps your local doctor in India can just contact him by email or phone to find out the exact details of how he administers ALA by IV so that your local doctor can do the IV procedure for your father locally in India. Here is Dr Berksons webstite:

Have you looked into BHT? It could really help with this condition, according to results people are getting. But, I think it isn't as effective when used with milk thistle extract, as I recall. --T.

Hi Bill, Thanks for you reply. Have some quick question regarding the dosage of Milk Thistle. is it 900mg per day or 900 X 2 per day?

Hi Puneeth... The dosage for Milk Thistle is 900 mgs which is taken twice a day. The total dosage per day is 1800 mgs.

Dear Friends, My wife is 53 years old and is suffering from liver cirrhosis. She has been in hospital for times and is now back at home. She has become very weak and requires help to be walk to the toilet, dining table etc. The doctors have said that she should undergo a liver transplant and it is frightfully expensive 20 Lakh Rupees and there is no gurantee if the operation wil be successful.

I am very worried for her. We have two small children (twin) girls of age 9 and I would have to sell everything that I have to put up for the operation. Also since she is soo weak, I am not sure if she they would be able to do a operation.

I have seen a Mail from Punneth who lives in Hyderabad and his father had a problem with his liver. Would want to know how if he got cured and also as to how to get ALA and the rest of the suggested remidial medicines.

Would greatly appreciate your help and advice.

Reggie

Dear Reggie from India, There have been some people reporting success with BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] for advanced cases of liver damage. As sick as your wife is, she needs to use caution if she chooses to try this treatment. By that I mean start out with a very low dose of BHT and slowly work up to the larger doses discussed here and elsewhere. I would think no more than 50mg of BHT per day and over a week ramp up the dose used to 250mg of BHT per day. See how she does at 250mg per day for at least two weeks to see how it effects her. If her condition gets worse always lower the dose of BHT used. Here is what S. From Sacramento has to say about BHT and advanced liver disease as reported here in this forum:

03/23/2012: S from Sacramento, California replies: "Hello everyone, I
would like to post my results after a little over a month of BHT 2x a day 350.
These results are amazing. I have normal liver function thanks to this forum.
Thank you, Oscar!!

> > Now
> > Ast 19 (13-39)
> > Alt 30 (7-52)
> > Ggt 20 (9-64)
> > Bilirubin total 0. 2 Low ( 0. 3-2. 0)
> > Before I was told in 2006 that I had stage 4 liver damage due to my hepC
that my counts were in the millions with this other test done by oncologist."

I think this BHT treatment just might work for your wife also because of BHT`s proven and well documented ability to deactivate harmful chemical entities know as free radicals and reactive oxygen species. These harmful chemical entities are assoociated with liver damage and play a big role in causing such damage. The BHT has worked for S. From Sacramento and some others with very damaged livers also. Of course I can NOT guarantee success. But from what you have reported your wife is running out of other options....Oscar

Dear Oscar, Thank You for your reply. My wife has been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis grade II. She has never ever had alcohol in her life. Please let me know as to how does one get the BHT as recommended by you, in India. Is there a place that I can purchase this medicine from in India? Appreciate your reply. Regards, Reggie

Dear Reggie from India, Here is the website of a company that claims to be a " Worldwide Distributor " of BHT and other health supplements:

http://www.nutri.com/index.cfm/product/31_17/butylated-hydroxytoluene-bht.cfm

If for any reason that company does not sell to India try a google search to find one that does.

Also, do you know the cause of your wife`s cirrhosis ? What have the doctors told you the cause of your wife`s cirrhosis is ? I am surprised that these doctors are talking about a liver transplant for someone with stage 2 liver cirrhosis. Though obviously any cirrhosis is not good, stage 2 is not as bad as stage 4. Stage 4 is where S. From Sacramento was when he or she pulled through, got well with this BHT treatment. So don`t get so discouraged. I think there is a very good chance your wife can recover and am hoping this BHT can help her a lot. She should also be taking some vitamin B12 in a dose of 1mg per day. Vitamin B12 is sold in micrograms [ mcg ] dosages. One mg is the same as 1,000mcg. So do not confuse that. She wants to be taking 1,000mcg [ micrograms ] of vitamin B12 per day. Some vitamin C will also help. I think 500mg of vitamin C is a safe and effective dose to take. Also, a low fat diet is recommended for people with liver disease. Eating a healthy diet with some moderate use of vitamins can go a long ways in helping people with liver disease. If she has hepatitis vitamin E supplements should NOT be taken. Does your wife have hepatitis ? Has she been tested for hepatitis B and C or not ? It is important to know what caused this cirrhosis of her liver to occur. The BHT can also help a lot with hepatitis B and C. Give the BHT a try along with the vitamins I discussed. 250mg of BHT with water on an empty stomach has worked for many people. If she tolerates that dosage well it may help to go to the two doses of BHT per day. But only if she tolerates the one dose per day with no problems. There is THE NEW BHT CURES GROUP if you wish to join. I am a moderator there and there are other people there focusing on helping people with liver disease. Here is that website:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_New_BHT_Cures_Group/

Stay in touch and keep this forum updated on your wife`s condition. I very much hope this BHT treatment works as well for your wife as it has for many other people. Sincerely, ...Oscar

Hi Raggie, I am in Mumbai and I had procured BHT some time ago and it is for " LAB USE ONLY ". If Oscar could confirm for it's use, and if you have some one to collect it from me, I will be more than happy to give it. Baldev (09322887066)

Dear Mr Baldev, Thank You So Much, Shall call and speak with you and also shall make arrangements for some one to collect it from you.

Dear Oscar, My wife was tested for Hepatitis B&C and it was negative. The doctors do not know as to what is the cause of the Cirrhosis. One Gastro doctor who we were consulting said that it could be due to fatty liver. I will surely join the group and keep you updated about the health of my wife. I will definitely like to use your recommendation as mentioned in your mail.

Thank You So Much
Reggie

Dear Mike, Thank You so much for writing in. Shall surely use your input. Shall keep you and the team posted about her progress. Regards, Reggie

Dear Reggie, I have great sympathy for your wife's predicament and I'm sure she has had numerous tests to find out why she has cirrhosis, but possible that an iron storage disorder could be implicated. Apparently, severe liver damage occurs above ferritin levels of 1000.

My liver enzymes were each close to 200. I had 5 monthly phlebotomies since last winter and my enzymes are 46 and 75 and still going down... It takes iron out of your system and your liver is happier... Plus brand new blood... and no drugs involved...

Hello Reggie,

What kind of medicines you need from USA? and which you do not get in India. Please let me know, I can send it. My friend's parents are coming to Hyderabad on 3rd October. I can buy it here and send it to you. Please reply immediately.

Its worth while googling RSO Rick Simpson Oil and cancer. If you are in India then finding the ingredients to make some oil or at least some cannabis butter. many 'terminal patients' who'd been sent home to die by their doctors have had the cancer completely clear up By putting drop of oil under their tongue a few times a day. Amazing results!

I have HCV and my liver has been thru a lot over the years but I've also been fasting and juicing regularly for 3 decades. Which maybe why I'm still alive when many of my old friends aren't. Sadly where I live it's very illegal to use cannabis oil.

I recommend taking some turmeric everyday and selenium, milk thistle, and ALA if u can get some (I mix a drink everyday of turmeric cinnamon cayenne black pepper and flaxseed oil in water or freshly juiced veg which goes down very nicely and can feel it doing good inside) best of luck to you both.

If you are still looking for it, you can get it off eBay, Amazon, or online in general. I mean let me know what's up.

I'm currently taking milk thistle and Lotrel for high blood pressure. Will this interfere if I start on the BHT regimen? Thanks

hi my name is Jamie and my brother has A.L.L leukemia and after about 8 rounds of chemo he now has liver damage and kidney problems. I have been reading about the A.L.A milk thistle and selenium and would like to know if we can treat him with this combination will the fact that he has leukemia change anything and if I can give him this combination, what is the does please help .....as of yesterday the hospital he is in is saying there is nothing else they can do for him.

I am leaving to go to him tomorrow and I have gotten the selenium 200mcg the milk thistle in 1300 mg and the A.L.A in 600 mg please let me know asap thank you.

I would certainly try it. See also castor oil packs on this site. Very helpful for the liver.

Hi Bill, Where can I buy milk thistle in the Philippines?

I was wondering about how much of that stuff you mix together. Thank you so much.

What is this stuff and where could I find it? Could you explain a little more detail about how it is suppose to be taken? And is it safe for peoples with hcv?

Sorry for the delayed response. You can purchase ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), Selenium and Milk Thistle at virtually any vitamin store in the U. S. And many other countires as well. I took (and take) 600 mg. ALA with breakfast and 300 with dinner. I also took/take 400 each of selenium and Milk Thistle twice a day with meals. It's a good idea to take a B vitamin if your taking the ALA because it seems to deplete B a bit in its metabolism. Obviously a number of other things help liver health as well including a number of things on this site (good low fat diet, beets, tumeric, castor oil packs, etc.)

ALA is also being praised as a superior anti-oxident by Bruce Ames, Ph. D. Of University of California who may be the most respected researcher of anti-oxidents in the world. For that purpose he recommends you take it 250 mg. Along with 500 mg. Carnitine. They market a commercial mix of the two called Juvenon that Dr. Weil sells on his web site though you could probably buy the items cheaper on your own.

Did this eliminate your ascites or did you have to be tapped also? Did you have edema and was that eliminated also? Because your have used this combination, how are your liver enzymes and blood test results? Please respond asap, as my husband was recently diagnosed as having liver cirrhosis - no biopsy as yet, but has these symptoms. He has been tapped but the ascites comes right back. We need your input.

I had severe bloating (ascites) and could only walk a few steps. I was at death's door step. I was "tapped"(paracentisis) about six times--the last time they removed about 7 liters of fluid from my abdomen. The Berkson protocol (Alpha Lipoic Acid, Selenium, and Milk Thistle) worked for me. It did not cure my hepatitis C but all my enzymes improved dramatically along with my health. I went from not being able to walk without a cane to being able to walk 3 miles plus, and reasonably good health. I started to recover within a week or two and went to his clinic in Las Cruces, New Mexico where he administers the ALA intervenously--twice a day. If you type in his name on line (Dr. Burt Berkson) you should come up with some articles as well as the Integrative Medical Clinic of New Mexico. If you are in Texas you are not too far from him.

I have not been to a doctor but I know I drink too much and am beginning to worry. I have been reading up on cirrhosis and found that itching is a symptom and I do have that. Every once and a while I do have some pain on my right side. My question is if I take this ALA , Selenium and Milk Thistle now will it help? Also, I vowed to give up drinking during the week but would like to have a few on the weekends, would this stop the ALA, Selenium and Milk Thistle from working?

Dawn, the nutrients you listed will help your liver if you take them.

If you don't have gallstones or hepatitis, then you are several big steps out of the danger zone. In chronic alcohol consumption, the first thing to happen to the liver is the buildup of fat. If fatty liver continues it will become enlarged and cirrhotic. If you eat well and don't drink severely and you do take a good multivitamin/min, you should not have progressive fatty liver.

As for supplements, zinc is also critical for alcohol control. Choline and Carnitine are the two main fat burners, but all b-vit are good and augment the C & C. Also you must have lots of the omega 3's in your diet as alcohol depletes them.

So, It's okay for me to have a few drinks on the weekends as long as I take all of these supplements and this will not damage my liver any more? What about the itching and the pain in my abdomen? I used to have 4-5 glasses of wine each night, now only on weekends, could this have caused the fatty liver you discussed?

Dawn, any or all the nutrients will greatly help your liver regardless of your past or current lifestyle. Try any or all these supplements and if the pain & itching is your liver, it should subside. If the pain & itching is severe, you may want to have your liver checked out by a physician. A parasite infestation or some kind of infection may be causing these symptoms, so also consider herbals for that possibility.

Report back as to your progress.

I too enjoy drinking a little too much and I do struggle to cut back. I have found vitamin therapy (especially niacin) and water cure (thirst was triggering cravings) helped a bunch! I suggest you read the entries related to alcoholism in doctoryourself.com.

What brand and/or where to buy? Alpha Lipoic Acid

So I have read all the lists of the past couple of months and want to know if any of you writers are still finding any remedies.. Better, what did or did not work, ect... I was just diagnosed.

Dear Peter, thanks information you gave... I am from Turkey. My mother has Liver cirrhosis. I read lots of good things about Dr. Burt Berkson's protocol. I want to try ALA, Selenium, Sylmarian with B complex on my mother. But I am confused about dose... I will try to give 100mg ALA 3x in a day (total 300mg in a day). Than go up to 300mg ALA 3x in a day (total 900mg in a day). is it reasonable ? when we must stop to give ALA?

ps. I found that, Dr. Berkson recommends Metabolic Maintenance, Carlsons, and Biotech vitamin manufacturers. One of the interview he says dose about ALA.. "he has never gone above 15 mg/kg. For primates it takes about 90 mg/kg to kill a primate.

Gokkan, I don't think there is any need for a "slow" introduction to Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Dr. Berkson recommends 600 mg. In A.M. and 300 in P.M. Taking it and other vitamins with your largest meals of the day (Dr. Berkson gives these amount I.V. in his clinic in New Mexico, USA). It probably doesn't matter if the doses are split in 3-300mg. doses. May even be more absorbable that way. There is no particular harm in continuing the ALA after her liver problems are under control. ALA acts as an enzyme, as well as a liver protectant, and facilitates many positive chemical reactions in our bodies.

Hi Peter, what are the dosages for the ALA IV and was it the only infusion given or any other IV was given to you. Did the water accumulation stop for you?

Re: Appha Lipoic Acid I.V.: The I. V. Dosage I recieved (and I believe What Dr. Berkson used for the majority of patients) was 600 mg. Am and 300 pm. Given in 100c. c. D5W drip I. V. Over 45 minutes to an hour. One should eat an hour or two before the I. V. And the physician should be aware of possible hypoglycemic side effects. I know Dr. Berkson uses (or used) McGuff Compounding Pharmacy in Santa Ana, California, USA as a supplier for the Apha Lipoic Acid he administers I. V. He also give a 1c. c. B complex or B12 shot after the I. V. Remember the ALA solution has the potential to lower blood suger--if this happens a teaspoon of honey and a protein bar will be helpful

@Laura from Weatherford, TX: There's a pharmacy in Whitehouse, TX (near Tyler) that carries milk thistle with artichokes. It works great. They are called Whitehouse pharmacy and it is near 110 and 346 (on 110 just north of 346). Hope that helps.

Thank you! I have been sick without a diagnosis for several years. Recently I was finally diagnosed with an oversized liver from non alcholic fatty liver. The Dr. was no help , so I checked Earth Clinic and tried this treatment. It has been about 2 weeks and I can not believe how much better I feel! No more pain in the liver, I feel stronger and generally on my way to good health. Next month is my DR. appointment and I am anxious to hear her feedback. THANKS AGAIN!

Do you know if they zap the products you mentioned with radiation at the airport?? I am from UK and have been x rayed so many times it's unreal!! A lot of people suggest LUGOL'S IODINE to conteract this, but EVERY WHERE you go in UK for medical help, they zap you!! I am real ill, and refuse to go back to hospital or a dentist coz they zap you as well! It is taking it's toll on me, so I am hiding from them!!!

Andrea: When you say "zap" do you mean x-ray??? If so, this is surely a health threat, and someone or group needs taking legal action against such invasive procedure.

Anyway, if it is radiation poisoning you are experiencing, you need to take mineral hot baths especially Backing Soda & Epsom Salt. The herb Sarsaparilla and the antioxidant Rutin are recommended as well.

Please let me know how this works. I have same issues with doctor saying the same thing.. Please help

@Andrea from Cardiff - I'm not sure about this, but I noticed the blepharitis subsided when I cut gluten out of my diet. Also, when I eat gluten again, I get bumps on my forehead. Also, I get a "crawling" sensation. I cross checked on the Internet and gluten causes a whole list of autoimmune diseases and lupus. It is lethal. Check it out.

Andrea C, like you I drank to try to subdue the unbelievable pain! & I wasn't believed. Now I can't touch the stuff. I have to take some meds but I have cut back 1/4 of what I was prescribed & none of some of it. I am very concerned about the radiation. There was mechanical issues with my spine, had lots of xrays etc but they would never take any notice of them, 8 yrs later and its now all degenerated, pinching the nerves and ruined the facet joints. Infections, body trauma, chronic stress, not high quality food mostly due to being in so much pain I couldn't cook, couldn't get a carer because Im so allergic. Now can barely use a computer or any of those pads or phones. There is wireless and wifi everywhere. Doesn't this concern anyone?

I am sorry for your suffering xxxx Thank's for Replying.

As far as drinking to kill the pain and then damaging the liver.... I have heard that Kratum is a good pain med. I haven't tried it myself, but know someone that went from percoset every day to Kratum for pain.

Where I will get alpha lipoic acid in UAE?

Wecair2, what protocol did you do? The ALA, Selenium and Milk Thistle? What dosages per day? Thank you!

Naproxin not easy/kind on your liver, nor is aspirin or aleve. Tylenol is safer to use for pain

If you have not yet tried it, I will suggest going to a homeopathic practitioner. After having elevated liver enzymes due to fatty liver, I talked to my regular homeopath as well as a medical energy reader. They both prescribed tinctures and homeopathic remedies, and a month later my enzyme levels are normal and the pain is almost gone...It's worth a shot. Good luck!

See the mini beet protocol elsewhere on this site. Proceed with small amounts of beet juice at first as it seems to be quite a powerful cleanser for some people.

EC: Here's the link for the mini beet protocol: https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/mini-beet-protocol.html

I use the apple cider vinegar for liver support and it really helps with detoxification. I use this, one tablespoon, three time a day in a glass of water with raw honey, as well as a number of other natural things to detox. But this one helps a great deal to keep me regular. I also use it thirty minutes before a meal to help metabolize the fat.

DANDELION ROOT TEA IS ESSENTIAL FOR LIVER DAMAGE. PROMOTES HEALTHY LIVER FUNCTION. AND IT IS DELICIOUS. YOU CAN BUY IT IN YOUR HEALTH FOOD STORE.

My child got hapititis A and is admitted in hospital Dr said there is no change can apple cider viniger help my child 😢😢

Which homeopathic tincture and medicine did they give you?

ITS MY FIRST DAY OF THE ACV.... REMEDY... WE'LL SEE ......!!!!

Add some local honey for flavor, also a health benefit.

I am pretty sure you are Alicia, Is that true? Anyway, thank you for your helpful advice. How are you doing Alicia? I will post your advise over at the BHT CURES group. I hope you are well. Please let me know how you are doing. Your Freind, ...Oscar

Reg: your liver remedy.. I'm 33 but have really lived life in the fast lane.. I have been experiencing the following: Swollen belly, dramatic weight loss, nausea, blurry vision, sharp paines in the liver area, extreme migranes, havent been officially diagnosed but symptoms started 7yrs ago.. Did you experience any of these and what else should I do more of or eliminate from my diet? Any feed back would be appreciated. Thanks..

You don't say how much of salt or lemon you add to the carbonated water. Just as a healthy tonic, I made this up with a tall glass of the carb. water, then I added one teaspoon of sea salt and 1/2 juiced lemon. It was delicious and I could drink it all day; love the salty sweet. But I'm curious... Why do you say the doctors won't like you drinking this. Is it bad for you? Can I take in too much salt this way? should I limit it? Also, am I even adding enough salt and lemon to be of good use? And what, since your article does not say, is the benefit of the salt? Thanks so much.

A swollen belly is ascites and you should never take sodium (salt) for ascites. You need to follow a low sodium diet.

Thank you for the formula. I've been taking one glass after meals and it seems to help my digestion. I have also made a drink of salt, ACV and seltzer water that I drink a couple of hours before bed. After reading more about ACV and the need to add baking soda for best results, I am thinking of adding that to my nightly drink.

Sodium is only bad in its MANMADE form, sea salt is natural including all its naturally occuring elements included, it thins the bile, which is the livers way of detoxing, this is why it helps.

THANK YOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

can we please not argue. Can you post your results. it is no good getting angry. what we ARE here for, is trying to help each other. I am not against ALLOPATHIC medicine My friend, who is TOTALLY, against DOCTORS AND DRUGS admitted, even HE, had to GO SEE THE DOCTOR. The 'EARTH CLINIC' is trying to HEAL your self WITHOUT PHARMACITICALS. Unfortunately, as 1 lady pointed out, we have to go to the DRUG BASHER'S occasionatley to get a RESULT, to tell us what the problem is. I am SSSOOOO anti PHARMA... It probably makes me look like a bloody anti chem terrorist!!!!!! But some time's, BLEGH!!!!! They are your only hope. I DO NOT 'AGREE' with a 'PILL' for every ill. Any way, the point I am trying to make here, is GOD'S LAW' will take time. You can not espect to use MOTHER NATURE' to 'CURE YOU OVER NIGHT'. I have seen many people saying... 'OH I TRIED IT ONCE, AND IT NEVER WORKED... If it was that easy, we'd ALL have a 'MIRACULOUS' recovery! You have to walk the path........ As the BEATLE'S sang, the long and winding road. ALSO... IT AIN'T EASY - we are HUMAN... If there was a silver bullet, it would be 'POSTED' on here. I am not being rude, BUT... RECOVERY, by nature, take's a while. PHARMA HAMMER, does not 'CURE' it masks the 'SYMTOMS' then once your body gets used to it, you need MORE... To take you BACK to the very beggining??? Look, you're going to feel real bad when your DETOXING....and a DOCTOR will just prescibe a HIGHER DOSE of what ever drugs you are on I am sharing my EXPERENCE to try to esplain this. When you start DETOXING, you may think you're bloody dying!!!!!!!!! NOT TRUE!!!! But what I will say, if you're freaked out by 'DETO' symtom's go see the PHARMA HAMMER medicine man. THAT does not mean you have to take PRESCRIBE'D' Drugs It may just be helpful to know what is wrong with you, and use GOD'S PHARMACY' to get well. It does not happen over night. IF I KNEW THE SOLUTION I would glady give it away for free I am not DR MERCOLA....... AND CRONIE'S.... I think it is wrong to 'BRAIN WASH' people suffering into buying products, that they belive is the 'ULTIMATE CURE?????? THAT'S SICK!!!!! If I could find something for some one suffering, I would glady give it away for FREE!!!!!!! When your ill, and in agony you will end up buying EVERY THING to take it away I know, I have done it myself... spent LOADS of money I can't afford on ALL sorts of lies BUT there may be some thing that will help you on here. READ THE SIDE EFFECTS ON DRUGS.COM that even what you eat, will interact with your body IF I RULED THE WORLD and found a 'CURE' for what ever ails you, I would give it away for nothing I am disgusted, that people that had bad illnesses, found a 'CURE' and now want to sell it to us, THAT'S WRONG!!!! DONT GIVE UP!!!!! I am very ill BUT I won't stop trying And if I find a ROUTE I will post it on here GOD BLESS ALL THE EARTH BOUND ANGEL'S

AND "EARTH CLINIC" Love Andrea

Look what I am saying is this xxxxxxxxxxx Go get the TEST'S done, but can we belive the blood results??????? But take a shot, my docs are ALWAY'S telling ME, I need to got to the SUGERY for a blood test??????? If I could i'd fly up there!!!!!!! NHS????? NOT all HUMAN'S are worth SAVING???

My husband is stage 4 liver cirrhosis. I'm going to be trying this for him. Is there anything else I can do to help him get better? Please let me know, Thank you.

Hi Chris...You could also try giving you husband daily amounts of the following supplements:

Shown dosages should be taken twice a day at mealtimes:

Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA) -- 300 mgs

Selenium -- 200 mcgs

Milk thistle -- 500 mg

Low dose naltrexone(LDN) should be taken once a day in the evening with water. Dosage is between 1.75 mgs to 4.5 mgs per day.

Other nutrients that should be taken are Vitamin C(1000 mgs 3 times a day) and B50 complex twice a day with meals.

This simple treatment is based on research evidence from Dr Burt Berkson's Triple Anti-oxidant Therapy for Cirrhosis, Hepatitis C etc.

Dr Berkson's Triple Anti-oxidant Therapy

Dr Berkson also uses ALA by IV in his own therapy at his clinic. So if you are interested in arranging an appointment at his clinic in Las Crusces, New Mexico then see this link.

Dr Berkson has had tremendous success with curing Cirrhosis, Hepatitis C etc and his treatment will not cost you an arm and a leg. Dr Berkson uses no dangerous or expensive drugs in his treatment. This is just another option for you.

Also, as important as any nutrient yet often disregarded, is consuming cooked chicken or calf liver Or taking Raw Bovine Liver Tablets to ensure proper & speedy replication of new liver cells. A sick liver cannot properly convert food proteins into non-essential amino acids, thereby depleting the very amino's needed for new liver cells.

I tried before pink Himalayan salt, sodium bicarbonate and both were very detrimental to my ascites. Potassium bicarbonate is OK and potassium chloride as salt substitute.

Thank you for this info. I was diagnosed with hep c last November. I am on my last 3 weeks of a 12 week regiment of Mayvert. Last 2 blood test came out no more hep c virus. However, come to find out I have stage 4 cirrhosis. I have been researching everything I can about this. I truly believe with faith in Our Lord and these natural remedies will heal me I'm going to fight this. If I lose the battle no sadness it just means Our Lord has called me home.

Please explain and detail about sea salt .. Was your sea salt iodized? What were the components of your sea salt? I have liver issues.
Please help me.

Hi…can you give any exact measurements of the salt drink? My mom is in end stage liver failure and I really need help. Thank you!

I had hepatic liver cysts removed and they grew larger a week later...30 of them with 1.5 liters of liquid in them....what a pain....so I tried a lot of stuff.. I love castor oil for pain relief ...and used serrapeptase and I suspect it ate those cysts. It gave me a stomach ache...and I used a lot ...one 120, ooo tab at bed for a week and then two a day one early and one at bed and then I got scared after 3 months and stopped... Went to a worship service at church and cranked it up a notch dancing and praising ...(made a fool of myself) and then never had to use anything for them again.... Ginger helps the liver and so will comfrey....don't listen to scare tactics in the media …. Blessings, Charity

I am a little confused on the directions for the castor oil. I would presume the garbage bag would burn with the heating pad. Please go into more detail. Thank you.

EC: We prefer using a hot water bottle for castor oil packs rather than a heating pad. We place a thin kitchen towel in between the plastic bag and the hot water bottle to prevent scalding!

Castor oil has greatly improved my liver function! I've been using the castor oil packs for over a month nightly. I've noticed that the swelling has gone down dramatically, and my appetite is returning, and I'm beginning to lose weight. I also have candida and I notice that this really helps to dump the yeast. It's actually very relaxing so I do it right before bed. Castor oil is very inexpensive and can be found in the laxative section of your pharmacy.

I just wanted to add that you can also add SLICES OF GINGER to the flannel and castor oil... I just put the castor oil on the flannel and the ginger on my skin and cover... It detoxifies the liver in better with the GINGER!!!

I think what you do is great. I do want to suggest looking into the overwhelming negatives related to using a microwave and what it does to anything inside of it. If your intention is - to heal - I would avoid using a microwave all together, period.

I love your ginger idea, but isn't it kind of spicy hot?

Also, a general question to all - I think it's either my gallbladder or my liver acting up right now (illeosecal valve is staying stuck open) & I have seemingly inflamed, maybe referred discomfort under left breast/stomach. I'm ready to do castor oil pack, which worked for me for something so long ago that I've forgotten. But where do I do it? Where I feel the seeming inflammation on left side, or where my liver or gallbladder are? Any thoughts?

Which vitamin(s) does your daughter have inadequate liver stores of? Orthomolecular experts believe that many serious health conditions are the result of some individuals having unusually high requirements (i.e. , metabolic abnormalities) for specific vitamins or minerals. Depending on the regulations where you live, a naturopathic physican may be able to try IV-administered high doses of the vitamin(s) in question. Try a Google search for your region's naturopathic association and look for someone who mentions orthomolecular medicine as an area of practice.

I myself went through a horrific battle with pruritus (and jaundice); I finally figured out that it can be controlled with diet; I stopped eating everything except fruits and vegetables and it stopped. But of course I lost 20 lbs, but it was such a relief. I was so skinny I couldn't look at myself; I finally got over my problem, which turned out to be caused by drug I was given (macrobid/nitrofurentoin). Now I am back to normal.

Hi. I can"t speak for sure about the vitamin Def in her liver. Check Dr. Group's Global Healing Center site. As something that may soothe her skin, I recommend you try a vitamin C shower filter. Maybe she could drink that water also. I have one and recommended it to a friend who has had dandruff and his head would turn bright red, itchy and painful after shower. It became a trip of horror each shower. All dandruff shampoos didn't help. He tried the filter and INSTANTLY pain, itching, redness, dandruff was gone. He has been using it for 2 weeks, with natural olive oil soap to clean, and thinks he is in heaven. And told his 3 brothers across the ocean about it.

This may well soothe her, it costs about $40, maybe $8 shipping. Money well spent and I hope you get it. God Bless

The filter neutralizes chlorine and such. It is great for city dwellers. You can look up Ben Fuchs as he is good on specific nutrition.

Hi, my father, has a rare liver disease called primary billary cirrosis. His mother and two sisters also had it. His itching was really bad, similar to your daughters. Also, his mom and sisters seemed to be worse. He takes urisol (that spelling is incorrect). His itching is almost gone. The dr did perscribe an anti itch drug, as reactine did not help and is harmful to the liver. He hasn't had to take the anit itch drug in almost a year. The urisol pushes the bile out of the ducts. I hope this helps. It is agony watching them suffer so much. One of my aunts used to get her husband to tie her hands so she couldn't scratch, once she started scratching she couldn't stop.

Chamel, please see if you can find someone who deals in supplements (vit/min, nat. Remedies, etc), and muscle testing, like applied kinesiology, For myself, this works, I know what I'm taking I really need to take, no guess work. And w/ kids, it adds another level of assurence that you aren't harming them w/ drugs and causing life long injury to their organs. For an at home. Extra virgin coconut oil, applied externally after bath before drying is great, it is anti-viral/bacterial/septic and it is soothing to the skin. I also like to add calendula oil. They have a tonic on site, 2 TBS ACV 1/4 tsp Baking soda and 8 oz water ( you can add honey to sweeten if you want, I add just a little of pure stevia) that is a basic liver tonic, just figure out how many times a day she needs to have it to stop the itch. I would still find a natural med. Person so you can know that all deficiencies are being adressed, and also if this is a case, instead, of what she is exposed to, like flouride, chlorine, chemicals used to clean your house, pesticides, HFCS, etc... We have so much in toxins around us and there are easy things we can do to stop it and detox it.

Hello Chamel, Just a thought, did you think about changing her alimentation. A lot of people are doing allergies because of milk, cow milk (this one on the store). Do you give her that? Just my 2 cents. Hope that everything will turn right.

Try low histamine diet.

I read that the best coconut oil to use in therapy is ORGANIC UNREFINED COCONUT OIL
