In this video, we’re going to talk about liver cirrhosis and whether or it is reversible.
First, let’s talk about the differences between fibrosis and cirrhosis. Fibrosis is the first stage of cirrhosis, while cirrhosis is an advanced version of fibrosis. Essentially, cirrhosis is advanced scarring in the liver.
The more scarring in your liver, the less your liver has the ability to detoxify your body. In turn, you may have a build-up of toxins in your body if you have liver fibrosis or cirrhosis.
Liver fibrosis can start out with a fatty liver, liver inflammation, viral infections, alcohol consumption, a poor diet, low choline levels, too much iron, and certain drugs.
How do you know if you have cirrhosis? In many cases, the symptoms are non-existent. However, the signs of liver cirrhosis may include:
• Edema
• Low cognitive function
• Ascites
• Jaundice
• Itchiness
• Poor sleep
• Dark urine
The more symptoms you have, the more advanced it is.
So, back to the question, can you reverse liver cirrhosis? The answer is: it depends. If you have mild fibrosis or cirrhosis, it may be possible to reverse some of the damage. However, if you have severe liver cirrhosis, the problem may not be reversible.
The most important thing is to do whatever you can to avoid liver cirrhosis in the first place.
Here are the best ways to support a healthy liver:
• Tocotrienols
• Bile salts
• Fasting
• Vitamin D
• Probiotics

Thanks for watching. I hope this helped clear up how to support a healthy liver and avoid cirrhosis. I’ll see you in the next video.
I had end-stage liver disease cause by years of alcohol abuse. 6 years later they are taking me off of the transplant list because my liver rebuilt itself through the use of organic food, supplements, and quitting alcohol. God bless Dr Berg.
I'm happy for you. How old are you if u dont mind me asking?
I wish I had known this about a family member that passed. What supplements did you take?
That is so beautiful🌞 ❤️ Fantastic that you took control of your well being. May you continue to thrive and be blessed!✨❤️🙏🏼
IRONMAN, Congratulations!! I'm SO excited for you!! Did any of your doctors even acknowledge that your efforts to make changes had an effect on your outcome??
Protocol?
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis based on Fibroscan requested by my gastroenterologist and on december 2021 my score was 15.7kpa, so stage 4 (cirrhosis) which was caused by fatty liver disease, I started the ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting and milk thistle supplements, 1 year, 75 fewer pounds later, yesterday I went for another fibroscan, my score went from 15.7kpa to 4.5kpa, stage 1(mild/no fibrosis) so...YES Cirrhosis IS reversible
that is amazing. congrats
@@joshblack1513 Yeah I'm from Québec so I know how canadian health care sucks, but you are a little better off in Ontario than here, but I have seen a study in Malasia ramdomized, placebo controlled that says Sillimarin (Milk Thistle) reduces Fibroses by 33%, there's a video on youtube about a Dr Talking about this study
@@tachibanadosetsu4947 I take milk thistle every single day
Hey can you please tell me what you did 🙏
@@rezikamuzemil1626 you have to completely change your diet. No alcohol, daily exercise, eat lots of cruciferous vegetables, beet juice, carrot juice, milk thistle, coffee's decent for your liver, no processed foods whatsoever, I went from having stage 3 fibrosis and I'm down to Stage 1 within six months of my original diagnosis.
Update: I have completely reversed my liver cirrhosis after 15 years. I was Stage 4 near death when admitted and diagnosed in 2007.
how...pls reply
Yes please tell us how
what did you do?
Not likely
Did you have ascites symptom?

You are awesome Dr.That is why I like to learn from you.I leaned a lot more after i started watch your video.Thank you very much for your priceless help,
Thank you so much for this video! is extremely helpful the information that you shared. Cirrhosis is a very difficult disease...😟. God bless you Dr. Berg.💕
Very appreciative of these informative short videos.
Very glad to be of help.
Thank You for this video, Dr. Berg. This is exactly what we are struggling and battling with for my Special Needs daughter. I load her up with all kinds of Vitamins & Supplements along with Organic Foods. It's a constant study!
Happy Holidays to you and your family members.

@@Drberg sir auto immune hepatitis is reverse.?
For the passed couple or 3 years, I have been seeing a Liver Specialist... The first visit indicated that I had Stage 4 Cirrhosis... That's a lot of scarring... Prior to that I added "Serrapeptase" to my list of supplements and take 240,000 SUs per day... The result is, I am no longer Stage 4, but am now Stage 3 and it's getting better. I also take "Berberine" and about 700 mg of Choline daily... My experience is, it is totally reversible, but it takes time and dedication... I also take almost everything you mentioned... Great video :-) Thanks
Hi so happy you are getting better. Can you please tell me what brand the Serrapeptease, Choline and Beberine. I have heard so much good things about these two but is afraid to try them because I didn't know which one to buy plus about the dosages to take etc. Now I saw the dosages that you are taking, I feel happy but just want to know the brand. Thankyou so much in advance.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 early cirrhosis which was compensated and had platelets which were under the normal range in 2014 I went on a well planned Plant Based Diet lost 30lbs I take 2000 IU of vitamin D every day and B12 I also have about 2 grams of ALA from Flaxseeds and Chia seeds every day. I eat plenty of raw nuts and seeds, avocados, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic shredded coconut and coconut oil from time to time. I drink 2 cups of organic coffee every day, I only drink coffee and water. I was diagnosed by ultrasound FibroScan and blood work as well as examination. I now have a normal functioning liver and all the tests now see a normal liver. Getting out of the way of your liver is better than any special supplements that are being offered. I hope this helps.
@@mangog8277 I'm in Canada, so I don't know if the brands I use are available in the USA... However, the Serrapeptase is made by "Naka" and my Berberine is "Preferred Nutrition" (1000 mg in 2 capsules - 500 mg ea). I also buy many supplements from India "Herbadiet", including Berberine. The Berberine from India also contains Banaba, another good liver detoxifier... Good luck :-)
@@DStrayCat69 Thankyou so much! Love and light❤
@@relaxgood512 Great stuff :-) I'm going for an Ultrasound on Tuesday. I think they are pointless at this stage of the game... I'm 71 yo... O-well... The only change I have made to my diet and Lifestyle is, I cut back on my consumption of Alcohol... I am still an Omnivore and eat a lot of meat, but am getting more and more veggies... I'm a "Foodie" and make all sorts of exotic dishes. I really enjoy Asian cuisine (Thai, Chinese and others). I couldn't get into a specific diet plan other than Intermittent Fasting. I eat OMAD... but it's usually a big dinner... My view is, "Do and eat whatever works for you". Good luck :-)
Incredible information that you just cant get anywhere else.
Costochondritis please
Many doctors are too afraid of losing their license to present information in this manner.
Dr. Berg is clearly knowledgeable and had researched his subjects. While it's possible the info he presents is not definitive it is still useful to help gain some understanding.

Hi Dr Berg,
Can you please talk about Autoimmune liver disease (PBC) thanks 🙏
I had moderate stage fibrosis from NASH. Diagnosed by biopsie. I had many of the things you mention here with it. I was very high in blood iron, but anemic on the cellular level. It certainly IS reversible.
How did you achieve this?
Reply?
@@Healthandrecipes Low carb diet, fasting at least 14 hrs daily at the time. low glycemic approach. Took milk thistle, lecithin, Alpha lipoic acid and walk I called "power walking" because I had chronic gout at the time as well and could not do more.
@@McLovin121000 Sorry about not getting back. I check my notifications fairly often, but you tube still turns them off for whatever reason. I miss people replying back too often until I updated over night.

Thank you so much Dr Berg.
You are very welcome.
Castor Oil: A warm castor-oil pack can reduce acute inflammation and help restore proper liver function. Prepare a warm castor oil pack by saturating several layers with the oil...not scorching, but bearable. Place the warm pack over the upper right quadrant of your abdomen leave it in placed for 15 - 20 minutes. Do this once a day for 5-7days.
Sherman...has it worked for you ???
Does it have to be specific kind of castor oil? I bought a bottle year ago and never used it so this would be great way to use it. Have you had good experience with it?
@@Bambina336 A friend of my Mother had a stroke, and the doctor discovered she had Cirrhosis of the Liver. I share the same information with her to help save her Mother’s life...she’s here today! That was in 2015.
@@magdalenoybarra2793 See if this make sense...We put food in our mouths one way, but our body detoxifies itself 3 ways. Our front end, back end, and through our pores. When we exercise and sweat the body cleanse itself via pores; however, if you allow the sweat to absorb back in...it over works the liver because the poison that came out of your pores is now absorbed back into your body. After exercising go straight to the shower and wash the poison off...you will notice the difference.
@@shermanholmes1872 Wow, that's awesome! Thank you for sharing. I've been having pain in a liver area for awhile now and am supposed to go see doctor next week. Just a thought of liver issues scares me but its possible because from my 20s to 30s I took more pain and allergy pills than anything else. So, there probably was some damage from it, I just hope its not too much. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Most years of life, our minds want a healthier body. The reality is our bodies want a better mind.
What about swelling of the arm ? Is that edema too ? Did not find any videos about arm swelling(kinda fluid looking, inflamed etc)
Great information!
Very glad to be of help.
I like the way you explain on board. Plz go to board explainaton
Oh man, that foot at 1:33 looked so painful. I pray for anyone I see in public that is walking around with woefully swollen legs.
....my wife had feet like this. She took a product called “relief factor” Advertized on the Glen Beck Show and her swelling went down...
@@stephenfiore9960 Stephen, I've seen that product advertised on several channels.
i have stage 4 liver cirrhosis and had feet worse than that; in fact my whole lower body was puffy and i looked 18 months pregnant. Walking was not possible and even sitting or lying down in certain positions was painful. When they finally gave me my paracentisis (where they stick a needle in you and drain you of the excess liquid) they ended up draining 18 liters of edema fluid. I literally shrunk like a cartoon balloon deflating. My testicles were also the size of little watermelons...
@@hobertmasterson8357 I know my prayer isn’t wasted on those walking in those shoes. Praying for you to feel comfort. I am sad for your pain, but imagine that process being drained must have felt like such a momentary relief.
@@ericcarve4476 thank you; but the edema and ascities were only part of it; ive had hepatic encephalopathy, varicies, portal vein hypertension, muscle/joint pain/weakness, sever itching, major fatigue, low red blood cell count, high blood pressure, dangerous ammonia levels; overworked kidneys and maybe a few other minor issues- constant pain for about 3-6 hours daily for over 6 months and about 1-2months in a hospital bed; end stage is bad- but i did manage to address the issues as best as i could through supplements/herbs and strict food intake with IF; someone else mentioned it here also but the healthy lifestyle is 10x better than the medication cocktail drs prescribe- mostly diuretics and antibiotics plus others for specific symptoms- but all they do is address the symptoms not the problem; not sure the liver is rebuildable with stage 4 like bill dankanis says in another post but liver function indicators can be controlled down to normal levels. Understanding what doesnt work properly in your liver and what supps you need to assist the broken functions is key as well as reducing inflammation and of course no added fructose/HFCS and alcohol which is like a bullet to the liver. My current MELD score is at the point where im deferred now; from almost dying 4x to almost normal = all from being aware of what i put into my body.
Thanks Dr Berg! What are your thoughts on taking a glutathione supplement for severe fatty liver/fibrosis?
My integrative doc has me taking a product called: Physician Designed Vars Liposomal Glutathione. Liposomal Glutathione has been recommended to me by my Integrative Practice and an advanced nutritionist.

@ole Droog The sugars I get are from whole foods bananas dates other fruits but I do not limit carbs I eat a whole food plant based diet plenty of good fats from nuts seeds avocados organic extra virgin olive oil organic shredded coconut and coconut oil I only drink coffee and water 2000 IU of D every day B12 and at least 2 grams of ALA from organic ground flax and chia all tests show a normal liver now
@ole Droog for vitamin e I eat 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds 2 walnuts and 1 avocado every day
@ole Droog cholesterol is at optimum level
Please can you write your diet and the whole prosess to cure your liver
@@rranouch52 100% Plant Based, no processed food, no fast food and rarely eat at a restaurant because even restaurants use oils in cooking that are adulterated. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains I use are rolled oats for oatmeal in the morning, quinoa, barley, buckwheat, and I eat 1 or 2 slices of a whole grain bread most days. Legumes such as peas beans and lentils, nuts and seeds. There are many good Plant Based recipes online you can find what you like. I have 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds every day in my oatmeal. Buy whole flaxseeds and put them in the fridge, grind enough flaxseeds in a coffee grinder to last one week and keep it in the freezer. I use a small glass container with an air tight seal. I use organic sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and walnuts. I eat 1 avocado everyday. I use fresh garlic in avocado with freshly squeezed lemon juice, I use fresh garlic and lemon in the hummus I make with chickpeas and tahini. Do not buy processed vegan foods they are usually just as bad as any other processed food. The only processed food I eat is a good quality Italian pasta which I use sparingly in dishes which are full of cooked vegetables, I like Barilla Pasta from Italy non GMO. I cook all my food in small amounts of water and I do use Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil but I add it after the meal is already cooked so it’s not heated and I do love the taste of good olive oil use it sparingly. I should add that I always use half a cup of blueberries in my rolled oats as well as other berries and fruits. I buy organic frozen berries.
Nice one doc. Will you make a video on chronic HBV? God bless! 👍🏼
Hi there. Thanks for the video suggestion.
Thank you sooo much Dr. Berg !! Can't help wonder if this video is a respons to a comment that I made last night in regards to my newly diagnosed PBC. Either way.... Happy holidays to you and your lived ones. :)
Hello, my mother was diagnosed with PBC and beginning stage liver cirrhosis. Have you perhaps had any valuable findings since your diagnosis that you would like to share? Hope you’re doing alright and have made a few steps towards recovery! 🦋
@@joliebunny88 Hello Kotoba. I’m sorry about your mom. Eat anti inflammatory foods and Keto and Ursochol. I think it has helped feeling better overall especially compared to earlier years where I couldn’t understand the source of my sudden inexplicable fatigue and sluggishness and weight gain. But ursochol works very well according to the specialists where I get tested once or twice a year, and the last time the doctor said that we will do everything we can to postpone the process and hopefully to the point that you die of more natural causes so to speak, because they are generally making huge progress within the field. They say the caught it early ( 36 years old). But overall I’m doing alright. It’s the taking of the daily pills that reminds me of the disease, otherwise my quality of life is quite good:)
Hi Dr
My mum has liver Cirrhosis and I need your help thank you
Dr I have been trying to stop piece of liver transplant but because on my worries I have seen different things to stop I really need to know what is the best for me.

Hello Dr Berg
I very much enjoy the videos on your page and they have become very very informative for me. I'm a 43 year old man from Ontario Canada and I have been sick for the past couple years. I have recently found out I have stage 2 liver fibrosis and Stage one fatty liver disease. They also discovered that I have brain aneurysms in a heart aneurysm. I keep getting told that my condition is unreversible from these Canadian doctors. I know everybody Praises Canada because of their Healthcare System but is absolutely horrible. Just because we get Healthcare we don't pay for immediately doesn't mean we don't pay for it. And the healthcare is very subpar. So I watch your videos to educate myself and I want to thank you very much for taking the time to inform us all when sometimes you don't get the cooperation of the doctors we deal with. I was told by my doctors that I was hepatitis detectable but with no viral load and they told me my body very likely will have fought the infection off but not before doing damage to my liver. Is it normal to have constant fatigue and abdominal discomfort? I'm not getting any answers from my specialist or my GP. I informed about it 6 months ago and I still can't get in to see a doctor. I could really use your opinion and your help I'm kind of at my wit's end I don't know how much more of this constant fatigue and aching I can take. I feel like I have the flu 24 hours a day for the past 2 years
I know what you are going through. Everyone around me tells me it's all in my head. My gut sticks out when I was very healthy all my life. I had Hep. C took the 8 week pill and cured that but, after my health just keeps getting worse. My wife who doesn't have any of this treats me like a leper. Tired all the time and called lazy. In pain and called a child. Can't get any normal sleep. The doctor says I am too old to get on a transplant list. I sometimes don't even want to live.
@@moses7874 ,Live.
A few months ago I had to have my gall bladder removed. Afterwards I was told that I have early onset cirrhosis of the liver. Does this cause other issues down the road such as groin pain or other intestinal problems?
Are you taking medicine for it or it processed further?
Can you please do which is better videos? For example you did a video on if Potatoes were better than French Fries. Can you do more of these?
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

Great video.. thank you
You got it! Thanks for watching!
Dr Berg, please do a session on micro skintags all over neck, face and eyelids. What can be done to stop the growth? Whether it is because of liver or it is because of virus...please guide.
I notice these in people who are full of yeast/ candida
Black cumin oil has helped me w sugar craving. I take 3 caps when cravings hit.
Good luck! Are you doing keto? Because that would take care of the problem.
Dr. Berg did a video, most likely HPV Virus, get your liver right and put crushed Garlic and Potassium drops on the skin tag with bandaid until gone
i think one cheap remedy is curcuma (temulawak in indonesia), try drink it every night before sleep, it is traditional remedy for hepatitic too
So basically turmeric
@@chasehim3761 yes u can try it
Would taking 10g of l-arginine powder every day for a very long period of time affect the liver in any way?
Good information My Aunt was just told that she has it
Dr. Berg, can you speak to the use of Milk Thistle to treat or support the liver, particularly fatty liver? I’ve read that in the UK it’s used to help patients with advanced stages of cirrhosis. You mention sea cucumber so thought I’d ask about Milk Thistle.
he has a sep video on it odd he didnt mention it here ive been taking that and choline and only fruit smoothie and 9 day water fasts
What about Milk Thistle? You did a specific video on this to help with liver health
Someone else also asked this here and he replied by posting a link to the video I assume you’re meaning:)
Can you explain what causes the tiredness.
Through trial & error I know that a protein drink or a smoothie when I feel tired helps a lot.
If our bodies can’t store nutrients for later do we have to have regular protein & fruit & veg to help with tiredness
Will autoimmune diseases cause problems with the liver. I am wondering if B-thalassemia will damage the liver?
Hey Dr. Berg, I really need to ask you about bloating since I had a FL and I lost weight after the Diagnose now I get easily bloating from food even that I cut off sugar, I came back to eat bread and rice I use ACV as you mentioned at one of your videos ( bloating) . There is repetitive urge for urination and high consumption of coffee. There is also a little pain in my intestines if I did not drink much water. One more thing is I have a mild headache coming and going. I also have a small couple fat forming in my eyes !
Any tip can help. I really don’t trust except you among doctors.

@@innerworld3551 You need to research on N Acetyl Cysteine. It is supposed to clean up the liver and lungs. I personally take it for my liver as I had a lot of paracetamol as a painkiller after major surgery. So it's imperative for me.
@@Ziyana_Zenn You aren't alone! There are many things that I wish I had known about when my loved ones were still here with me. NOW we know of simple preventions and remedies that would have improved and even saved their lives. My Mama died of sepsis 11 years ago, after the docs failed to test or recognize it until she was in a coma. Now I know that high dose IV Vitamin C takes care of that, even when one is on the brink of death! It's maddening that MOST doctors don't have a clue about this, OR anything else, for that matter!! I just don't trust the medical establishment!!
High fat carnivore diet with intermittent fasting may be the best diet for people with cirrhosis. Or at least, avoid fructose including from fruits and avoid all other sugars as well.

No to Oil.
Regular RFT/LFT from a reputable lab.
Vegetables (Boiled kaddu, Tinday, thorri and sometimes mix vegs potatoes, raddish, carrots excluding peas) and sometimes black pepper just for taste. After 3 months started using one table spoon of olive oil. After 6 months little meat once or twice a week was added to his diet once he started showing signs of receding edema and ascites. (As my father stomach would get upset the moment he would eat meat).
Fruits (Yes to Pomegranate, Plum, Peach, Sugarcane, Apples, Falsa, Strawberry, carrot) (No to Mangoes, Grapes, Banana, Dates and other like it)
Fresh juice of the aforementioned fruit in the morning, then one apple around 10 am, afterwards vegetables at 12pm and between 2-5pm fruits or fruit fresh juices.. sometimes milkshake in goat milk.. then in the evening again vegetables..
One tablet of Antiviral for Hepatitis B at night with juice..
One tab of diuretic (Bought of weighing scale to note the retention of water.. 60 Kgs weight was the bench mark for me.. if it would go 65 kgs in two days, I would administer him tablet until his weight would fall to 60Kgs and then stopped using it until his weight would go up to 65 kgs due to water retention . This helped me to keep in check the water retention and no increase of potassium due to diuretic.
Some medicine given Hakim Hafiz Tariq (Tariq Dawakhana, opposite to Naeemi dawakhan, Multan) Giving him buzoori prepared by that Hakim on daily basis till date, it help him in his prostrate too.
Note: Instead of water intake, juices were served as it reduced the impact of acistis and edema.

I Hope your father is still doing great
bhai please share diet plan
Sadly my father died a month ago due to liver cirrhosis 😪 i wish you had posted this video earlier 💔 😢 😔
I'm so sorry for your loss! Hang in there!!!❤
What were his early symptoms?
Thank you soooooo much!👍👍😊😊
You're welcome! It's my pleasure.
If you have an obviously inflamed liver, does that mean there is scarring rather it be fibrosis or cirrhosis?
What about serrapeptase you've recommended in another video?
I will check with Dr. Berg about this.
Thank you so much for this! Are bile salts vegetarian-friendly? I've been a vegetarian for 30 years. Yes, I was that high carb low fat vegetarian in one of your other videos. But now I'm a low-carb vegetarian and am also intermittent fasting. But I cannot eat meat -- it is so disgusting, I can't even touch it. I even saw a psychiatrist about it for awhile. If bile salts are from animal cadavers, is there anything else one can do to stimulate bile production other than ingest bile salts? Thank you for your wonderful videos. I've learned so much! I can't believe all the years no doctor has warned me about my liver!
He said in the video they're synthetic.
Is bile salts of any value in a low fat diet?
Thank You ! !

I’ve read a lot of good things about coffee in preventing cirrhosis. Is that true?
It isn’t true, it’s coffee marketing again, coffee is a poison
What is calcification of liver. My son has it. Earlier nothing accompanied this calcification area. Also he has fatty liver which the doctor says is typically of South Asians. But lately first stage cirrhosis symptoms have shown. Is it all reversible? Please doctor do answer.

My friend who is 81 years old. He is kinda alcoholic, I would find him drunk passed out once per month…. One time he drove to buy alcohol, and I found him passed out in his drive way a day after because he was not answering calls.
Two months ago, he was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. I felt bad I didn’t stop him drinking although I yelled at him all the time…
Is possible for him to reverse it at his age? He has stop drinking…

شكرا دكتور على المعلومات القيمه ياريت تعمل لنا فديوهات عن تغذية الاطفال منذ الولاده وشكرا مره ثانيه
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information. I was diagnosed F4 after fibroscan on 1/21/22. Had an EDG showed no verices and I dont have any other symptoms of cirrhosis. I got the diagnosis over the phone by the doctors nurse who told me " you must lose weight, low carb diet, no alcohol" I was like thats it? How many carbs is he considering low carb, what foods are liver friendly etc... her reply was "I'm not sure, he didnt say". Had to request to see a dietician again her oh so helpful response was "you will need a referral", to which I replied " then get me one" oh yes then after my EDG the doctor is standing there telling me how hard it is to lose the weight ( I had already overhauled my way of eating and started exercising, and lost 20 pounds between 1/26/22 and 3/2/22) and it was going to be very hard to keep it off. Then says " I'm not trying to discourage you..." I was thinking exactly what are you doing then? He sure wasnt giving me any of the useful tips you have, just "we will do another Fibroscan in 1 year. " Note my AST was 51 in Nov 2021 down to 31 Feb 24, 2022 and my ALT was 64 in Nov 2021 down to 62 Feb 24 2022. Bilirubin 0.5 both times. Glucose (nonfasting) 108 in Nov 85 in Feb. I hope to get the ALT down too.
Wow. Keep going. You will surely get there. Good job.
In same boat…scary.
HI Myra coud you update on your journey please. I am also on the same boat as you
@@anoopnair9068 I have lost 62.9 pounds so far. I am doing low carb, lean protien (chicken, turkey, seafood, dietician said i could eat fish but i dont like fish so..., occasionaly sirloin steak, also can have lean pork loin on occasion. And occasionaly 93% or more lean grass fed ground beef), nuts, legumes, fresh fruit ( eaten with a protien to minimize blood glucose spikes), and veggies (especialy cruciferous veggies). Healthy fats (Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Avacado Oil, Coconut Oil, and some butter(grass fed)). Oatmeal with collegen peptides added for protien and frozen blueberries is a great breakfast. I have been doing intermittent fasting 16-18hr fasts, but i dont let the fasts rule my life. If there are times when we will be somewhere with friends or relatives or an event i eat with them and get back on track at the next day or when it works best... I have been drinking black coffee, matcha tea, matcha tea with ginger, and a ginger,tumeric, and cinnamon blend tea ( 1 bag of each once per day) . I have been taking TUDCA, moringa, Coenzyme Q10, Omega 3 fatty acid supplement, Choline, & a B complex vitamin every day. I dont get a repeat of labs til August of this year, and Fibroscan til January or February of next year. Please get an appointment with a dietician as everyone is at a different level with this desease. Get rid of sugar, wheat, wheat flour, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, canola oil, sunflower oil.
@@myrapomeroy8659 Thank you so much for the reply is there any way i can keep touch with you outside of youtube...as i am in a similiar situation....gor diagnosed with F4 Fibrosis and i already had an IBD Crohns disease...so now its like double trouble......i have started exercising and now will visit a dietician as well......i will be moving from India to Canada in September so a bit worried will i get these supplements and medicines in canada or not, because in India meds are cheap and fully accessible without prescription
Hi Dr Berg, is it relevant if you could cover Bile Acid Malabsorption BAM topic related issues? Tqvm
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

I have the swollen right foot but there is also extreme pain like my ankle is severely sprained or broken. Any sudden movement sends sharp pains. Does this have to do with liver or does it sound more like lymphedema ?
Pkease DR Berg 🙏😊, do a video re Hemochromatosis - most common unknown disease. Huge implications for liver ( and other organs) due to iron overload. I hope you can! Thank you 😊
Thank you Dr. Berg 🙏🏼✨ Can lab tests pick up early fatty liver and mild/moderate cirrhosis? Does it show up as reduced liver enzymes? ,✨
Ultrasound scan will detect it...
The ALT and AST tests measure enzymes that your liver releases in response to damage or disease. The albumin test measures how well the liver creates albumin, while the bilirubin test measures how well it disposes of bilirubin. ALP can be used to evaluate the bile duct system of the liver.

I was a meth addict for a long time, intravenous user. I also have very high anxiety and I think I may have had a couple heart attacks. I have a wife who is very dependent on me and I constantly worry about heart attacks. Where do I start? I really do not want to visit a doctor. BTW I am 6ft 200 lb. Never been overweight but I have been a VERY high stress person even when I was a little kid
Please go see a cardiac doctor - they can tell if you have had heart attacks & if you need surgical intervention - you may need something to help you with anxiety -
Sea cucumber is getting expensive and in some places it has become illegal to harvest/collect them for food.
Why illegal?
Dr Berg I recently had a blood test done. I seem to have almost 4 times the normal amount of Iron. What's the reason for that? Can I lower my Iron level? Thank you in advance!!
Do NOT take multivitamin with iron. Stop the red meat intake .Reseach other foods, drinks that you are daily intaking for iron content..Then check every week till iron drops to acceptable level. Then slowly add a piece of red meat into your diet. IF iron rises up, reduce red meat intake
What did your doc say?? Are you cooking on cast iron pans?
It's pretty popular for male and menopause female, to do the blood drawn. Go donate your blood to ⛑️. Seriously.
I read that dandruff and fungus is a sign of liver problems, is this true?
I m wondering that too it is most likely to be a cause
Does anyone know if drinking organic coffee with grass fed creamer and honey will bother an ailing liver?
does pain on the right side in the liver area always mean something bad? Can you have "good" labs and still have liver issues?
per day
1500mg inositol
1500mg choline
this was a common body building practice to protect liver damage from all the drugs they took. Although many are skeptical if it really worked. Since we have been watching Dr. Berg for many years. I would say there is a chance it works just fine.
Both inositol and choline are lipotrophic so they aid in the breakdown of fat. Worth looking into.
Where did you read that from?
@@Healthandrecipes It was a MD who worked with top athletes on CZcams. I unfortunately forgot his channel name. Sorry, it was a few years ago at least. It is also important to notes that just because you do this doesn't mean you are protected against abusing your body with drugs. Its just something that can help your liver.
Can you help me please. I have fibrosis. But i need to take some pills.what to do??? I m on some antidepressants.i cant without them
@@marinn778 Talking with your doctor is defiantly your best route. If you like your doctor best to stick with them; but there is never any harm in talking with a naturopath local to your area and using both a holistic approach aswell as a allopathic medicine. That is what I would do if I was in your shoes. I am wishing you all the best.

What is fasting NOT good for???
lol.. hunger pains!
Besides your video I found a bunch of videos speaking of 6 meals a day because a lot of patients with cirrhosis are malnourished.
They absolutely forbid fasting.
Are they advising people similar to diabetes?
How to kill them faster in other words?
Hello Dr. Berg, How long would you suggest a person fasts if they have cirrhosis? Thank you as always for your helpful videos. DRB
He and several others on YT talk about Autophagy-the goal of fasting when cellular restoring & recovery begins. Minimum 18 - 20 hr. And pretty easy to do- have last meal of day at 6 pm. Your 1st meal the next day at 2 pm = 20 hrs. Good luck!
