Your advice is sound. I drink very little soda and no processed meat. I DO eat canned soup sometimes, tho. I really prefer home made. I eat healthy and I walk on my treadmill at least 3 times a week

That's not a lot, but I do it every day. SharonJackie on <redjaxjm > wrote: EXCELLENT ,, excellent advise! <marvindamartian05 > wrote: Sharon, I am not a big proponent of "products", especially if you are tryingto accomplish what is essentially a simple act. So, I did not buy anyof those "liver cleanse" products in the stores! Many of them justencourage diarrhea, and you don't need to spend $12 on THAT!I am not saying that they

are "bad", it's just that if you take sometime to study all of the labels, they mainly contain things such assilymarin (milk thistle), dandelion, choline and lots of other thingsthat I have already integrated into my diet and supplement "plan". Iam not advocating that you do what I do (check with your doctor), andLord knows I an not a health professional, but I read a lot. And Ikeep to the KISS principle.I learned that the function of the liver is to cleanse, so you wouldbe "cleansing the cleanser" if you do what many of these "livercleanse" products advise. Sounds kinda funny! Also it's a short termsolution. So what I did was make the liver better able to it's job bycommitting to a lifestyle change that will be perpetual...not just aweekend "when-I-can-stay-near-the-bathroom" type of thing. Of course,in the beginning, that's exactly what it is, as you are taking inmainly liquid to try and flush out

as many toxins that way as you can.There are some books out there (such as Dr. Cabot's book), andlots of good info in them, but often the author has some side agenda,such as selling their own "liver tonic" or what have you. A reallygreat book (and it does also recommend certain products, but the tiein isn't obvious) is The Hep C Help Book. One of the authors, Dr. Gishis an ESTEEMED liver doc up in San Francisco, and the other author isa TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) expert. They mention a lot ofexcellent food for the liver. So, get a book that not only talks about"detoxing", but about "liver health" in particular. You aren't analcoholic or drug addict just trying to clean yourself up after abinge, you are a person with a chronic illness who is making alifestyle change.It's not only by eliminating waste that your body cleanses itself oftoxins, but through the pores as well. If you can get to a sauna

(TheHep C Help book advocates a dry sauna, I believe - as opposed to asteam bath), it is great to do this. Exercising, to the extentpossible, will also make you sweat. Obviously, while you do all ofthis expelling of toxins, you are also putting good stuff into yourbody, such as water of course, but I also take about 2 oz ofwheatgrass a day (fresh squeezed). All of the grasses (barley grass,wheat grass, etc.) are great for the liver. If you can't get freshsqueezed, go to the health food store and get some "super green" orother green foods supplement, or Odwalla Super Food juice.I am writing too much, sorry to ramble...just one last thing...soda(cokes for those in the South, pop for mid-westerners) is one of theWORST things you can put into your body, along with processed meatswhich contain nitrates. The junk in these "foods" stays in your fatcells and contibute to the development of cancer, deplete the

calciumin your bones, etc. Get this junk OUT of you, and DO NOT put anymorein!

I am going to talk with my primary about how to procede with filing a complaint against this guy . You are right , he has the potential to really screw someone up . Bad doc's can make a difference in the way treatment progress's .Jackie on <redjaxjm@...> wrote: I totally understand but remember there are lots of others out there that do not have the background that you and I have and could get caught up with a bad doc who wouldnt be treating them correctly.. there are TOO MANY OF those kind out

there!elizabeth savage <elizabethnv1 > wrote: Well when I look at it that way it makes me want to write the letter ... I guess I was just so lost in my own misery I wasnt thinkin of how he could potentially hurt someone else .Jackie on <redjaxjm > wrote: I know hon,, but think about the others who will go to this jerk and will get treated the same way... all it takes is writing a letter,,, elizabeth savage <elizabethnv1 > wrote: I dont have the energy for the fight anymore , besides I ended up

with a much better doc who at least tried me on another treatment plan Jackie on <redjaxjm > wrote: it doesnt matter IF IT was 10 years ago,, start a paper trail! lol,,, Im a rebel honey!elizabeth savage <elizabethnv1 > wrote: I did but that was 2 yrs ago Jackie on <redjaxjm > wrote: Start a paper trail Liz,, it might not cause anything 'right now' to happen to him but in the future it might, especially if others report him too,, PAPER TRAIL!!!elizabeth savage

<elizabethnv1 > wrote: Why bother they wouldnt do anything to him except slap him on the wrist ...Jackie on <redjaxjm > wrote: well honey, THAT IS WRONG! You should report him to the AMA!elizabeth savage <elizabethnv1 > wrote: Well that happened and boy did I cry like a baby . But things like this happen in Nevada all the time unfortuanately .Jackie on <redjaxjm > wrote: Liz, IF HE DID NOT provide for further medical care, then HE ABANDONED YOU! thats serious!elizabeth savage <elizabethnv1 > wrote: Is that like what that one doc did to me when he took me off treatment and said he could no longer be my doc and that was where we had to part ways ...his words Jackie on <redjaxjm > wrote: Well its better to change docs BEFORE you start tx than to have to do this in the middle of your tx! Abandonment applies to a doc who turfs you without providing for continuing medical care honey. We learned all about that in paramedic school because we too had to make sure to turn

the patient over to someone of at least my training or higher meaning that I could only turn over my patient to another paramedic or nurse or doc,, never to an emt basic.. and a doc cannot stop treating you as a patient without making sure you have another doc to treat you OR HE IS guilty of abandonment! Dont let this jackass push you around honey! please let us know how things turn out! hugs jaxSheena <mom4possums2002 > wrote: And I have to find a new GI before I ever consider it, can you EVEN imagine..
