Natural Remedies for Liver Disease and Liver Damage

Dear truth be told, I'm wondering of you have tried a dietary approach to your condition. I'm not a Dr but it is my understanding that carbohydrates such as grains, sugar, alcohol are hard on the liver and that it is possible to heal your liver with good fat: Eggs, calves liver, coconut oil, avocado, butter, olive oil, cod liver oil, etc. I know others have done apple/beet/carrot juice fasting with good results for liver support. Lecithin is another liver cure you can read about on here which is somewhat related to the fat cleanse.

There is also a section on this website devoted to treating a variety of viruses and I think you may find those options helpfull too. Some off the top of my head are colloidal or ionic silver, iodine, food grade h2o2, olive leaf, apple cider vinegar, aspirin, essiac tea, raw garlic, ginger, turmeric, chilli peppers etc. - lots of virus busting liver supporting options if you troll around this website a bit.

My dads old drinking buddy swears he cured himself of hep c by quitting alcohol and drinking kambucha tea instead. Probiotics are also good if you have ever taken antibiotics, since so much of our immunity comes from the friendly gut bacteria (they make vitamins for us, fight off infection, digest our food etc). Good bacteria like healthy fats like those mentioned above while bad bacteria and yeasts like sugars. Apple cider vinegar and kambucha tea are both good to support a healthy digestive tract but there are many options for getting good bacteria from probiotic yogurt, kefir, kimchee, and saurkrout.

Are you taking a muli mineral and multivitamin? Do you get enough sunlight to make vitamin d. I know jaundice in babies responds very well to light treatment which means the liver needs vitamin d to regenerate. Other viral diseases tend to respond to sun treatment as well. Dr Mercola highly recommends getting enough sun to keep your immunity up.

Two other websites I find infinitely helpful are westonaprice.org and mercola.com. I also like Dr Myhill's website for specific nutritional recommendations.

I'm wishing you well again soon and I hope some of this information proves useful.

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.

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.

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.

HI U OLE PATOOTS,,,,,,,,,,, tonight we do our liver flush ; have shut off all supplements, eating a mild and late breakfast, drinking lots of apple juice and water. Have all the toddies mixed and in the frig. and heating pads are on the bed. Hope some of you are trying this procedure for the first time. The Russian PhD says in his book that he and his Retreat followers spent a week detoxing and conclude with the liver flush. He considers this to be one of the best things to do for good health. We have two of his books. His mother was an MD and was disappointed that he studied Physiology, not medicine. His reponse was that he wanted to help people stay healthy and not just treat their symptoms.

Wish us well, =====ORH=====

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.

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.

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

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:

My liver panels were elevated off the chart two years ago. Family dr sent me to a liver transplant specialist who stated I would need biopsy and 80% chance of liver transplant. I said I'll call back to schedule that.

Instead, started eating turmeric every morning with an omelet and lots of black pepper. Did paste of turmeric with olive oil & rubbed it into the area directly over my liver and covered with an old towel and put a heating pad over it for a half hour and did the same with bottoms of my feet a few nights a week for a month or so (cover with old socks as turmeric will stain the bed sheets). I was getting monthly liver panels. 2nd mth after doing turmeric my panels stopped raising, then each month after that slowly started going down! After 10 months my levels were within normal limits.

My family doctor is in awe and is now using turmeric for his family. I will continue turmeric the rest of my life and suspect my panels will continue to go even lower. I can honestly say turmeric saved me from a liver transplant for non alchol fatty liver disease!

I have been giving it to all my dogs and the older ones with arthritis are running around like they did when they were pups and they never get any sores or lumps of any kind anywhere, only go to the vet for rabies shot as I live in the country (skunks, raccoons, possums, etc) Who would've thought an item u can get at the grocery store for less than $3. 00 a month would cure non alchol fatty liver disease! And no painful and dangerous surgical transplant!!!!

The remedy above is Pro Argi 9 (main ingredient is L Arginine). The medical doctor is Dr. Prendergast, M.D. in Palo Alto, California. The Noble Prize winner who discovered (with two other scientists in 1998) that L Arginine increases NO (Nitric Oxide) is Louis Ignarro. Louis Ignarro wrote the book: NO More Heart Disease: How Nitric Oxide Can Prevent – Even Reverse – Heart Disease and Strokes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Ignarros reverses heart disease is Louis J. Ignarro.

Thank you Earth Clinic for all of the wonderful information you provide for us all! I hope this posting helps someone.

Usa, I agree with you on the environment we live in can be toxic to us. I proved this, when I was sent to Colombia, South America with the Red Cross for 7 months. I live in NY and had asthma that worsened with 9/11. I was allergic to everything, so many foods and always felt sick and not really strong, especially when I hit 39. Within my first month in Colombia, I no longer had to use my asthma inhalers, or was allergic to so many things. I was eating fruits off trees all day long and lost over 25 lbs. I was so happy and healthy. Upon my return to NY, I slowly deteriorated and within 4 months I had my first asthma attack again. I thought I had been cured, so much that I wasn't even carrying an inhaler and had to rush to the e.r. I have since then considered getting my degree and since I am bilingual moving down to South America and living life, not just surviving like I feel we do here in the United States, unfortunately. This is a great country, and I have served it, but it is not serving me. Norma

I have always used Castor Oil Packs to strengthen my liver and kidneys. The liver can grow itself back if you take the time to do it.

You get cold pressed castor oil, wool flannel, a heating pad and a piece of plastic - I use a garbage bag. There are sites online that will explain it in details.

I put the castor oil into a sealed container with the wool flannel and shake it up. You want the castor oil to e dripping from it slowly. I then put the container into the microwave for about 15 or 20 seconds - just to get it heated up. I then put a couple of towels onto my bed or couch and lay down on them. Then I take the wool flannel and put it on my stomach. If you are trying to heal the liver, put it a little bit more over your liver, if you are trying to heal the kidneys, put it over that area. Then I put the garbage bag onto th flannel and then the heating pad - all the way on high (or as high as you can handle). Leave it on for at least one hour and meditate on what you are trying to achieve. After you are finished, wipe your self off with a mixture of Baking soda and water,to get your skin back to the proper ph.

Do this for 4-5 days on and then leave off for the remaining days.

The is a good book calld Edgar Cayce and the Palma Christi. It tells of all the wonderful things that Castor Oil (the Palma Christi) does!

There is a manipulation to put your ICD back into the correct location. And the chiropractor Or a knowledgeable massage therapist can show you how to do this, or you may be able to research it online. You can find where it's located, between your right hip and belly button.

I put mine back in place by lying down, bending knees (as if you are sitting with feet flat on ground) ). With your fist, push slightly below the ICV which feels like a knot and guide your fist in the imaginary line between hip and navel. My massage therapist taught me how to do this after consuming a parasite from sushi. (If anyone is interested on how to get rid of parasites, it was 100% pure gum spirits of turpentine. Dr. Jennifer Daniels and The Candida Cure book both explain it.

In my case, I was extremely sick from the parasite. 8 months of doctors who laughed when I asked them to check for them. Upon taking matters into my own hands is when my healing occurred. Btw, slaves consumed turpentine 2 times a year to eradicate worms and it was even in Merck's book over 100 years ago. If you decide to use it, research the amount to take. I started with 2 drops in almond milk every other day because I had become so frail, and worked up to 1 teaspoon in a month.)

Also, I recently read on Mercola that choline, present in egg yolks, is beneficial in moving fat out of the liver.

HI U GOOD PEOPLE,,,,,,, if you are doing the flush, I hope you are drinking your apple juice. It's not mandatory, but helps. Also like Jessie, I did not lie, I just misspoke. Forgot that Sat. we are leaving for Grayton Beach, Fla. so we will do the actual flush on Thursday night. Suggest you stay with Fri. night going into the weekend.

There are additional things that will assist you:

Take about 4 to 8 capsules of 500 mg L-Ornithine for sleep and a heating pad on your left side to encourage your liver to flush. Have a bright flashlight so you can observe the toilet stones the next morning. We have learned to have all our solutions in jars and packed in an ice chest next to our bed. They go down better cold. Dr Clark says to use pink grapefruit, but we have used lemons, either works.

Well, if you are not doing the flush with us, then at least you're thinking about doing preventive things like Mama does.

========ORH=======

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~

I'm not a Dr. but if he were my father I would get him off chemo ASAP and put him on a glass of water with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt 3x day. Then I would have him go on alpha lipoic acid 100 mgs 3x day and acetyl L carnitine 200 mgs 3 x a day and then eat only organic foods and not much meat but do eat some and only natural meats... NO antibiotics or drugs fed animals... Also 200-400 mgs plant based selenium if very important. Depending on his weight drink 2-4 quarts of good water. Milk thistle about 500 mgs a day increase to 100 mgs... Don't give up! I beat stage 4 cirrhosis and cured it in 5 months and drs said it couldn't be done.

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

Hi, I'm new to this forum but wanted to share a liver cleanse recipe with you guys. 1 cup of shredded carrots, 1 tsp of virgin olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Eat throughout the whole week along with your regular food intake. It really does work!

To answer your question about coconut oil for liver issues, VCO (virgin coconut oil) is very good for increasing the liver's excretion of bile which helps overall metabolism and a variety of other health benefits. There are well over 50 other positive health benefits which result at various intensities from person to person, depending on the individual's body chemistry and current state of health as well as other things you're doing to your body such as a proper and healthy diet. Coconut oil, by itself, however, may not be enough for some people or conditions. For example, if you research Hulda Clark's works on parasite cleansing, you'll find that many people have damage to the body due to parasites and must rid themselves of those before attempting to do an overall cleanse. It is estimated that 80% of the world's population, including all developed countries such as the USA, have parasites living in their bodies. Opposed to popular belief and expectation, it's not merely a 3rd world problem. Only about 20% of these parasites are visible to the naked eye; the rest are microscopic. Many people with liver disease have problems due to their dietary lifestyle feeding a kind of liver parasite known as a fluke. If you try to cleanse your liver while having these flukes living there, you will find yourself becoming very sick. Using an herbal concoction Hulda recommends first to kill the parasites may be necessary before attempting the toxins cleanse from the liver.

Having said all of that, for my own liver / thyroid / kidneys I eat 2 Brazil nuts morning and night along with a handful of goji berries. The Brazil nuts are loaded with selenium which are essential for cleaning out the free radicals associated with these organs producing hormones, and the goji berries have a super powerful blend of minerals and vitamins which have been known for over 1000 years by the Tibetan Chinese to cure nearly every ailment from cancer to diabetes to eye problems. Both the nuts and the berries will tremendously boost the immune system to keep you well. Furthermore, the high levels of Omega 3 fat found in Brazil nuts assists in the reversal of heart disease, memory issues, cancer, blood sugar and cholesterol levels and many other health issues.

CAUTION! Do not exceed 4 Brazil nuts per day. Brazil nuts have the highest levels of selenium of any known food in the world. This is great for boosting immunity in the proper amount, however, selenium in higher than recommended quantities can eventually result in dementia or other selenium poisoning symptoms. 4 nuts per day is a very safe and effective amount and has greatly improved my own health as well as the health of my friends and loved ones.

I hope this information helps. I've also heard that milk thistle, extra virgin olive oil and lemon work well, but I've not tried that kind of cleanse for myself yet.

James; Most times just by applying Coconut oil to your skin can be easily absorbed through your body & might work just as well. I do this because I cannot tolerate the oil by mouth.I drink lots of coconut water because it has 5 essential electrolytes. Good Luck

The ocean's salt and mineral content is bio-identical to human blood. Look up SOL salt. It's a Himalayan rock salt solution with the proper amounts of sodium and chloride. (Ratio) I use Omni Blue mineral drops in my water. It has magnesium too. It is sourced from clean Ocean water in Australia.

Along with the vitamins suggested above: (i.e. Milk Thistle, Dandelion Root, ALA, selenium, B-complex and B-12)

These helped me the most:

Tudca, Biomagscience HGH amino acids, and zeolite with humic and fulvic acid have given me my life back.

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 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.

Ginger, raw, thinly sliced and chewed or crystallized ginger tiny pieces, really cut down my liver pain, go slow it's very strong.

There is a fb group on high dose Niacin. Also learn from doctoryourself.com and search youtube for Andrew Saul, Dr Abram Hoffer (who treated mental illness with supplements and removing foods that cause allergy/sensitivity in many) and vitamins. There is also a vitamin C group on fb who discuss niacin, niacinamide, vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

Eating a tablespoon of lecithin with meals helps fatty liver (and anxiety in many cases) as does taurine. I was actually shown my test results and told I had fatty liver after an ultrasound showing gallstones. Nothing was said about lesions, but I was in there having a gall bladder attack and had my gall bladder removed so they only looked at my gallbladder. (2008). In 2013-2015 was when I couldn't take vitamins and so on.

I just wanted to share with you that from our forefathers we used to treat liver problems with a particular medicine which we used to give at home.

Many people used to come take this medicine and also we never charged them any money, I had recently had treated my own son? it does work well but you need to follow these steps and also
please follow the days we give the medicine? and stick to the diet which I normally ask during the days you take it... this medicine you can make it at home and take it only on these days.

Ingredients you need:

Garika in telugu (A kind of grass called Agrostis linearis. durva. Ainslie.)

Cardamom Powder (half teaspoon)

Saffron a pinch

Our beliefs the medicine was given on:

Sunday Morning, Evening and Monday morning.

OR

Thursday Morning, Evening and Friday morning.

Please wait after taking one time don't stop your medication which your doctor prescribed and then check after 15 days
with your doctor and check how well is our liver functioning.

Also please remember the diet when taking the medicine eat light and no oily food also no non veg and fatty food.

We used to ask our patients to eat only boiled rice with buttermilk during medication days whenever hungry and water.

Also follow your doctor's diet and medication.

Please check and post your experience with others. I hope it helps you.

I will answer all your questions if you have any.

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

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.

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)

Hello Anna,

I know what you mean about approaching this process slowly. I have been on this healing and recovery path for 4 years now, but granted, I was on the cortico steriods which led to my severe candida infection for decades, so I expected a long journey, and I do not want to overwhelm my body, which only sets you back anyway. So listen to your body, it will tell you when it has had enough and you need to slow down or take a break. Although I am not there yet, I am light years from where I started, so I want to encourage you! This forum, has been lifesaving and life changing for me and my family, and I tell everyone about it. I am glad you found something here that will help you as well. God bless and good health! Flower's Mom

As far as the Hep B... My father-in-law cured himself several years ago of Hepatitis by simply drinking Banaba tea. NOT banana. He lives in the Philippines and found a banaba tree (free from pollution), gathered a few fresh and healthy leaves, rinsed them off and boiled them into a tea. After drinking this tea for a few months, he tested negative for hepatitis and remains healthy until this day. Banaba, as well as a number of other powerful herbs, is very anti-viral and works well to kill pathogens in the liver as well as other organs.

Please keep in mind when drinking some things like powerful herbs or Apple Cider Vinegar for cleansing that you must drink plenty of water to prevent the expelled liver toxins from settling into the kidneys. This can create painful kidney stones. You will notice that the urine turns darker yellow from the toxins, but this also can be an indication that you probably need more water to help pass the toxins out without poisoning the rest of your body.

God bless and heal well.

I found at a very young age that my liver has always been at risk; I found recently after many years of pain in lower back and being way under weight but severe swelling through out my whole body, was caused from mold, I was also surprised to find that 90% of the USA has chances of mold build up because of the continuous dampness year round causes this mold, the worse case scenario is that doctors nation wide are treating it as an infection which adds insult to injury because most antibiotics are made from mold.

Recently I almost had a heart attack because the antibiotic ciproflaxine made my chest feel like it had been crushed. I think from now on God willing I plan on not seeing a doctor unless absolutely needed. I later found that I had neck surgery that was not needed. How sad a world we live in.

I seriously feel that it's herbs that are holding me together and trusting totally in my own instincts and this website. Thank you Ted and other's that have shared their much needed input, it's the glue that holds us all together.

God bless us all, Peace

MSG is highly toxic, and apparently the toxicity level increases by A LOT if you reheat leftovers with MSG in it. It all begins with us requesting MSG chemical free food and fluoride free water

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.

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.

Ariana,

You and your mom might talk to her doctor about adding melatonin as an adjunctive to her treatment plan based on the following review that discusses the effects of melatonin in early stage cirrhosis and late stage cirrhosis :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6815834/

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

>>> ' Current evidence shows that MT protects against liver injury by inhibiting oxidation, inflammation, HSC proliferation and hepatocyte apoptosis, thereby inhibiting the progression of liver cirrhosis. ' <<<

It is important to keep in mind that melatonin has a very good safety profile even at very high dosing levels.

For the last couple of weeks, I have noticed an ammonia type odor coming from my husband. It is an odor I am familiar with when I take care of elderly people in a nursing home, but my husband is only 66 and in good health. He takes no meds, except naproxin for his knee that was repaired of a meniscus tear. He does take a good vitamin. He is a bit heavy but not obese. For years he has had liver tenderness when we lay together and my arm is on his liver area. Could this be the beginning of increased symptoms of the liver?

I dropped the olive oil part since the green of the olive oil could be mistaken for stones. I started the Atkins cholesterol protocol, TMG, vitamin E, a bunch of supplements. That alone flushed the smaller stones. I found though that for me they returned very quickly and I used plain Apple Cider Vinegar to keep them flushed. Later I found Stephanie Seneff discussing sulfur and cholesterol sulfate and its proper function in the body, added MSM to my protocol, resolved stones and diarrhea as long as I keep on the MSM and TMG. I have helped two people flush their stones the way since then. One was my husband who went on a fast and felt like he was having a heart attack. He grew new respect for my pain all those years.

Blanche,

I'm sorry you are suffering so much. Since childhood, I have had same similar symptoms as you have.

Not one single doctor could discover, let alone diagnose what I have.

It's only now in my old age, that it turns out I have Hemochromatosis aka excessive iron overload.

Here's what's helping me: I follow Ted's Borax protocol daily and also:

First thing in the morning, (on an empty stomach) I take 1 capsule Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6), and 2 capsules Choline Inositol (Now Foods brand).

1 tablet Super Oxide Dismutase.

After 30 minutes, I take 1 cap full of Liquid Colloidal Plant Minerals (Now Foods brand), and 1 drop Lugol's Iodine rubbed into my skin, and then have 1 egg for breakfast.

After breakfast: Vitamin B Complex, Marine Beta Carotene (Vitamin A) 25,000iu, Vitamin C 3000mg, N-Acetylcholine Cysteine (NAC), Sublingual Vitamin D3 lozenge 1000mcg, Vitamin K2 Mk4 and Mk7 100mcg each, Essential oils: Natural Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols and mixed tocotrienols) 400iu, Conjugated Linoleic Acid 1000mg, Fish oil 1000mg, Evening Primrose oil 1000mg, 50mg Zinc, 400mg Magnesium Malate, Potassium Citrate 3 capsules.

Dhea capsule 50mg and Pregnenolone capsule 50mg

Avoid multivites that have iron in them.

Midmorning 3 Brazil nuts for Selenium. mg

Evening After dinner:

Melatonin 1 mg sublingual, Magnesium Malate 500mg, Glycine 500mg, Choline Inositol 2000 mg, Progesterone Cream (tiny pea size drop).

I hope this can also help for you.

A young girl of 13 has been diagnosed with severe jaundice. Yellow skin, yellow eyes...the local doctor has prescribed rest! Her mother is frantic with worry. What should I tell her?

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

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

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...

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

Joy, I replied to you about the gelatin capsules... Sounds to me like you have sensitivities to the binders and fillers in your meds. I am extremely sensitive to manufactured glutamic acid (MSG). I cannot ingest gelatin capsules. I cannot eat yogurt. I had to get the magnesium powder because the magnesium citrate caused PVC (premature venrticular contractions) that felt, to me, like heart flutters. After all my tests that was the diagnosis I was given. I then found out about the "citrate". It is processed from corn because it is cheaper than from citrus fruit. The FDA is not protecting us and I said earlier on this site that they should be renamed the Fool and Deceive Agency. I think you should stop taking all the processed things you are taking. Especially yogurt. The dairy cows are being fed GMO grains and grasses. As I mentioned, it has taken me over twenty years of piecemeal learning and it is difficult to "spit out" in a few sentences how I know what I've learned.

All of our fruits vegetables have been engineered to last longer. Corn and Soy are two of the deadliest ingredients in our food supply and they are in practically everything. They are being fed to critters we eat, get milk and eggs from and are difficult to digest. Nothing is safe. Moderation is essential.

I have to apologize for being so piecemeal but that is the nature of someone who has had two traumatic brain injuries... Comatose after one. From my experience, you seem to be ingesting things that are in conflict with each other. I don't feel you could be "eating healthy" if you keep having problems. I have had to do a little research to use food as my medicine. This will have to be continued if you are REALLY interested... There is much information I could share but it will be piecemeal and I want to be thorough when I give it. It is important to stop eating raw fruits and vegetables because they are not digested well. They must be cooked to be easier to digest. What I've learned is contrary to what has been acceptable as "healthier eating". Canned and frozen are better because they are picked at their peak and blanched.

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.

After getting a heads-up from an E.C. member on the power of Magnet Therapy a few days ago, I realized that my Liver issues needed the extra power so I have been using a very strong magnet for about 4 days now. Daily wearing a Magnetic Belt, increasing Milk Thistle, adding Artichoke and Turmeric over the last few months hasn't seemed to provide much relief. Also, I have gone back to a Liver Tonic designed by the master herbalist Dr. Christopher as I have had good results in the past. These two treatment protocols have markedly and speedily increased my over all health and vitality.

The Dr. Christopher Liver/Gallbladder Formula is:

Prickily Ash Bark - Peppermint leaves - Ginger Root -Barberry Bark - Wild Yam Root - Cramp Bark - Catnip. I couldn't purchase the Catnip, and added Chaparral - Schizandra Berries - Artichoke Leaves. One small spoon twice daily and I can feel the difference. I use the menthol cough-drops occasionally and take D-Limonene daily to keep those green cholesterol stones melted. Also use Lecethin and extra Choline/Inositol. Will soon do the dreaded Gallbladder Flush and report results.

Specifically, my B. P. reading tonight was 128/78 which is way down from 168/108 range 3 weeks ago and many months prior. Evidently the blood flow from scarred and fatty liver tissue obstructs not only bile flow but also blood flow affecting B. P. Throughout the body. I also place the strong magnet over the heart area (I have for many months occasional low pain here despite CoQ10 & Carnitine) for only a few moments. Hulda Clark warns not to use magnets on heart but I only seem to have benefited.

I am experimenting the strong magnet on different areas of the body for detox w/ good results so far (except the die-off of headache and kidney pain).

For once in the last 2 yrs, I am beginning to see a glimpse of hope in recovering at least a sustainable level of health, all in the item of that one important organ ---the Liver.

Hi Timw of Louisville, You have made my day with your post. I have been worried about you for a long time now, and am so happy to hear that you have found something that is improving your health. I'm sure many others share my best wishes. You have helped so many people with your time, advice and experience, and it's wonderful to hear that things are looking up for you. Take care.

Hi Timh... I just thought that I would suggest a few possible remedies that might help your condition generally.

First I just wanted to draw your attention to some new research on Vitamin B3. They have found that larger orthomolecular dosages of B3 can increase the effectiveness of the immune system by a factor of 1000. This fact alone will help your body to more effectively defeat any pathogen -- not just hep c -- in your body. B3 should always be taken with B50 or B100 complex for its synergistic effects. You mention taking 5HT or tryptophan supplementation in your posts which I heartily agree with. Tryptophan also produces smaller amounts of B3 which, in larger orthomolecular dosage, also helps to cure depression.

To reduce the oxidative stress on your body and to eradicate excess and damaging free radicals it makes sense to radically increase the levels of anti-oxidants like glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, super-oxide dismutase and vitamin c etc in the body. This will benefit your liver and help to reduce inflammation and damage. So taking supplements like selenium, NAC, ALA and milk thistle as well as manganese, zinc and vitamin c will all help. Even just supplementing one or two drops of clove oil in water will benefit you. Clove oil is the strongest anti-oxidant in the world. Vitamin C has an ORAC value of about 80, 000 and oregano oil has an ORAC value of about 539, 000. Clove oil has an ORAC value of 10 million.

Lastly, I would advise that you take Chanca piedra daily. I know this herb well. It has a history of curing Hep B(which can also co-exist, undetected, with Hep C ). There was a recent post by Alicia from Syracuse -- she used LDN with Chanca piedra and a careful diet with wonderful results. CP is an anti-viral that eradicates viruses by inhibiting their reverse trascriptase enzyme, thus preventing them from reproducing. CP also acts as a viral binding inhibitor. Research has also established that CP is highly protective for liver hepatocytes -- the worker cells of the liver. CP also has beneficial hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, calcium channel blocker(excess calcium inhibits iodine uptake), anti-oxidant and hypotensive action and is a mild diuretic that uses the urinary pathway. Chanca piedra can be taken as a tea throughout the day or as capsules, 1000 mgs at every meal. A good organic source of CP should be used.

Just some ideas that might help you.

Hi Oscar, This message is for (ImReady) in Jahoo forum, I feel very sorry that is not had results with BHT, here I'll give remedy to cure his liver, with whom I have had excellent results, must have a extract juice 1/4 cup of beet juice, 3/4 cup fresh tomato jufo and 1/2 cup of sage tea afficinalis think so is written, the cosinar used to cool and put it all together take it every day in fasting, you can take it multiple times if desired, is a liver rescontitullente, I hope that you can perform so well as I, my best wishes.

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.

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

I discovered our whole body is circulatory, over 80,000 miles of blood vessels and the LIVER is loaded with them also and with it being a cleansing mechanism of the body, if it gets sick, toxic and unhealthy this causes a back-up into the body. 2010, when I almost lost my twin sister, I got blessed to hear about a 37 yr old with 80 yr old blood vessels and now he is 74 with blood vessels of a 12 yr old. You can bet his liver is clean. This is a Doctor and it is validated by Nobel prize and both the doctor and a heart institute use it on every single patient. My sister lives today with no more congestive heart failure and is without meds. Be blessed

What was the remedy you used?

Thanks for your half way information, the Dr. got better by justly being a Dr. or because he had used some medicine, how he was able to clean out his liver? You had left off the most important information. How did he get cure or cleanse, with any cleanse he has found in any pharmacy or natural medicine. Please tell us the complete story. Thanks

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.

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.

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.

Actually it is estrogen that causes the increase in cholesterol in bile not prgesterone, if this was the case we would see a decrease in stones as women got older and periods ceased however the opposite is quite true, gallstones increase when periods cease due to decrease in progesterone.

i have been trying Schisandra chinensis past couple days. seems it helps with the cold intolerance since the liver is not converting T3/T4 correctly. Supplements are part of the puzzle, but also you need to avoid all sugars/processed food. Fructose is very bad for the liver which is in everything including table sugar.

Moira, we've had excellent result with topical coconut oil for itching from any cause.

The name is listed - Digestzen (by doTerra). Young Living and other companies sell similar digestion blends - they all have similar ingredients. Try also using Swedish or Chinese Bitters as well. These help clean out the liver. God bless you.

Thank you.

Do you have a cure for renal failure? I know one has to alkalize the blood. I need to know how.

What does the baking soda help for?

Reishi Mushroom Tea

Hi, you should google for cannabis oil. It treats almost every ailment. I know it isn't available everywhere but when you want it you will get it! In the Netherlands it is 'accepted' to grow 5 plants if there is a medicinal need for it. When you can grow the plants you can make the oil yourself. I already saw some American websites selling products with cannabinoiden but they are very expensive! All legal products with cannabinoiden are made under license of a patend which is owned by the US government.
