Shes been to the hospital once to take her fluids out, they took out about 8 to 9 liters. She was release from the hospital about two weeks... When she got back home all she wanted to do was sleep. I figure it was because she was tired and she hasen't sleep very well... She would not eat not user the restroom. This when on for about four days, on the fifth day she she was unconsious.

Dear Jessica, I don't know about how to lower ammonia levels, etc. , but I would look up Oscar's posts on BHT for Hep C. Use the toolbar above to navigate until you find the alphabetical posts, and under "B" you'll find BHT. Read everything, and order some online, and she could try it. As other people read this, they may have additional suggestions.

Jessica: to help the body remove ammonia take the amino acid Arginine/Ornithine as directed on label. In conjunction to the other supplements suggested to you, take a high quality whole food multivitamin. If you live close to a health food store you will find most everything there OR you can buy at any of literally hundreds of nutrition stores online. Not many hf stores carry the BHT but VitaminLife does, along with just about everything suggested here. Also, some Cranberry capsules would help the kidneys as would some Parsley; or you might find a "Kidney Formula" w/ these two herbs plus others for kidney function (this will help remove the water). Also take Liquid Liver Extract to help the body make healthy liver cells. Take everything as directed on labels and your mom should improve immediately.
