Very informative. My sister is battling cirrhosis. I have NASH along with diabetes.
I was able to Reverse Fatty Liver Disease. With weight loss and exercises. I have some meal inspiration ideas Inspo For those Days on Amazon.
Can hypertitis c turn into hypertitis b?
My mother just passed with stomach and liver cancer. We only had 3 weeks with her before she passed. She had all her Covid vaccines plus more.
Thank you so much. SHORT AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.
not helpful at all though
Went to an Ayurvedic Dr after having this problem for nearly 3 years.Followed Ayurvedic diet protocols and slowly I was in recovery. I might use a diuretic once or twice a month just to keep the retention clear. So far progress has been good
I went to Ayurvedic too now just 20days any fell little bit better but the fluid still full
Wow ! I bet a few died off this poor advice .
When dealing with liver disease, Planet Ayurveda’s treatment is the best. The use of herbs and holistic care brought me back to health.
A great explanation. Thanks Doctor!
I dealt with ascites for over 3 years! Towards the end I was getting drained 10 liters every week. I received a heart and liver transplant and I no longer suffer from this horrible disease! I am forever grateful to the donor and their family to give me a second chance to live! I want to let others know there is hope! I pray everyone going through this that they may be cured! Much love to all!
What an inspiring story! I myself, have cirrhosis and was diagnosed with the genetic defect of hemachromatosis. It is good to hear such good news in regards to the conditions we suffer due to this disease.
Do we have any news on treatment ? What about vanco trial from Mayo Clinic ?

😂😢😂TELL THAT TO MILLIONS OF ANOREXIC PATIENTS WHO SUFFER FROM FATTY LIVER DISEASE AMONG OTHER THINGS WHO COINCIDENTALLY ARE ALSO AS ANOREXICS DENIED ANY MEDICAL HELP OTHER THEN END OF LIFE CARE WHEN ITS TIME 😢😂😢
That is my life now but mine is due to peritoneal carcinomatosis. Every three weeks I go and have 5.6 to 6.9 liters removed. I have done this 5 times so far. Two more weeks it will be time again.
Just want to know what did you do to get rid of this???
Thank you for sharing your video.my husband is going through same problem and is draining around 2 liters daily😢
❣️
So nafld is non progressive but then the slide shows it can progress to Nash
Teaspoons is nice and all, but food labels list sugars and added sugars in grams.
For me, I had a regular checkup with blood work done. My liver values were over 1,000. An ultrasound was done & a large mass was found in my KIDNEY. My kidney was removed & the doctor assumed I'd be fine. Two weeks after that I kept getting sudden fever, chills & extreme fatigue every two weeks. My doctor had no idea what was going on, but sent me to a GI dr. due to my high liver values previously. After a CT scan & MRI, my GI dr. couldn't figure it out. The 2nd GI right away knew what I had.
I just had a fibroscan Monday and was told my result is 17.2 that puts me in the cirrhosis category. The fat content number also puts me S3 in NASH. NO ONE, has been available to talk to about this and I’ve been calling everyday. There is so much conflicting information out there as to how I should eat, whether to cut carbs completely or if healthy carbs should still be included. The doctor says my referral was put in over 6 months ago, and I’m still waiting to see a consultant. I need help, why is the dietary info so different, even amongst doctors?
Not me watching this because I was just diagnosed
the questions part was helpful.. thank you
Being recommended to Dr Abiola on CZcams was a blessing after years of suffering . I have finally been cured from HEPATITIS virus thanks Dr Abiola you are indeed a Blessing to this generation #DRABIOLA ❤☮️

I an thin,tall..I have diagnosed stage 4 liver fibrosis / cirrhosis . I don't have hepatitis.. I do exercise..started eating healthy now..can i lead a normal life?
I am 23 year old now ,and l suffering non alcoholic fatty liver disease,my weights 40 ,i am so upset
i was referred to a hepatologist for cysts and hematoma of liver on ctscan; for chronic stomach discomfort for five years and increased fatigue and now dry cough. I also have lung nodules, I'm 70 years old. I'm confused why i need to go to liver specialist as from what i understand the cysts and hematoma are all benign? "left hepatic lobe hemangioma, currently measures 2.8 cm, with adjacent geographic area of arterial hyperenhancement without definite washout, favored perfusional.Redemonstrated hypoattenuating hepatic cysts within the right lobe. There is mild interval enlargement of segment 6 hepatic cyst, currently measures 2.6 cm". I don't understand the the without definite washout part. Do you think I need to see specialist? Thank you and hope to hear back. Deborah (alastraart@gmail.com)
Why she is that happy while giving the speech I don’t get it
my first impression, to. I guess she is excited about getting the word out,
I've been Diagnosed at age 57 in 2006,Ive been on Urrso 500 2x day,and ocaliva since 2019, I have Hypothyroidism and borderline Osteoporosis I'm on Statin drugs,I weigh 120 lbs 5 ft 1, No liver fibrosis,but have a fatty liver..My recent blood work shows my Alkaline Phosphatase is 125
Highly recommend the Liver Care Pack from Planet Ayurveda. My overall health has seen a noticeable improvement. Natural and effective!"
Please tell where you hot the stuff from
I have a couple cyst on my liver. Two radiologist read my mri and told me the same thing. I asked if I need to monitor it and have it scanned again in a year but I was told no. It’s a cyst and they see a lot of those on mri scans.
My worst symptom having covid eas excruciating right shoulder pain.
My father was just (about 2 hours ago) told he had maybe 2 weeks to live. He had just had blood work done that came back looking normal less than 2 months ago. He had just the 1st jab because my mom had been bombarded with scare tactics and then we all got our heads in order and didn’t get anymore jabs. It seems that one jab was enough to ruin my family.
My father had one jab and then after my mother kinda lost some of that initial fear of the bat disease they wished they had never gotten jabbed even the once. Unfortunately and devastatingly my father was just informed (about 2 hours ago) he had two weeks to live. He had blood tests only a couple months ago and his liver enzymes and everything else looked normal. I feel like I’ve just been hit in the guts with a sledgehammer and much much more than that. The speed is crazy. My Mom said 2 weeks and I assumed I misunderstood over the phone but nope. I hate them for what they’re doing to our family, and the human population. Of course we still got freakin sick with bat disease and it wasn’t a walk in the park like they said it would be for jabbed fools like us. God please take this hate out of my heart and please punish the people who have caused all this suffering and loss. Lord give all of us going through this strength and wisdom and be with our suffering loved ones both the sick and those family members and friends who suffer with them. In Jesus Christ name Amen.
If my MELD is 10 and while I have cirrhosis, can I sustain this and avoid liver transplantation, especially if I might not qualify. Beat breast cancer twice.
Wow...what an amazing story. So glad you're doing well.
Truly heartwarming! Go Jessie! Those kids are so fortunate you’re here to lead them into the future ❤️👏🏼
Jessie is an inspiration to all. She keeps hope alive. 💜
