liver issues

[Guest guest]

Hi ! I am just running out the door and so I can't really write but I

was in the same boat as you -- terrible liver problems. I didn't take

anti-fungals. because I had elevated liver enzymes (they kept thinking I had

hepatitis) and now, a year later, my liver panels just came back perfect.

I'll talk to you about it when I get back.

Dear ,

If you are not jaundiced, yellow in the bottom of your eyes, it is

more than likely your liver is doing okay. Silymarin herb is very

good for strengthening the liver. Sometimes it is better to take one

herb and not a combination.

To decongest your liver the best way do coffee enemas (recipe and

method in the files to the left). You can also help your liver by

helping your body detoxify. There are a few simple methods I listed

in another post this past week, i.e. dry skin brushing, epsom salts

baths, etc. - maybe you can find it above - also drink 1/2 the juice

of one lemon in 8 ozs. of warm clean water every morning as soon as

you wake up. Are you drinking Pau D'Arco Tea - 4 cups a day. Most

people tolerate it better since it is a milder form of antifungal.

Please keep us posted and hang in there girl! It is a slow step by

step process.

Have a happy Christmas my friend,

Bee

Hi ,

If I were you, I'd try not to worry about the things you mentioned. I'd try

my best to rest and I mean get a REALLY lot of sleep and rest throughout the

day. If you're not sleeping well at night, try taking some tryptophan along

with a half a banana just before bed as well as a good magnesium supplement.

The Chinese say that the liver is the seat of anger and worry and I know it

may sound corny but REALLY try to relax and let any sources of anger or

worry go away. It helps a lot more than you think.

I'd try to eat a lot of dark leafy greens, especially collard greens as they

are natural detoxifiers. They also contain the most important vitamins and

minerals in the right forms for fixing a liver. (Julius Caesar ate a hearty

serving of collards as a preventive to indigestion after attending royal

banquets -- an historic testimony to their detoxifying abilities!)

I'd take lots of vitamin C throughout the day and night. I'd take an extra B

vitamin in the morning with a meal and lemon juice or hydrochloric acid

because B, C, and Magnesium all need stomach acid to be absorbed. If you eat

24 hour fermented yogurt you probably don't need calcium but take a lot of

magnesium.

If your liver is in bad shape you may also have low stomach acid. I did. I

still take about 8 capsules (675 mg. each) of HCl with meals. (I personally

like Thorne brand -- it's called BPP and it contains enzymes and pepsin

too.) Always take at least one digestive enzyme with meals too. (With low

stomach acid, your stomach has to churn much harder to make your solid food

into soup and I read that 80% of a body's metabolic energy goes to digestion

(!) You want that energy for healing so anything you can do to give your

digestive organs a rest will help.)

As for anti-Candida type food and supplements that work for me, I swear by

the combination of Protease enzymes, Vitamin C and D-lenolate all on an

empty stomach. I put them out at night before bed and whenever I get up I

take them and go back to sleep. They do not interfere with my sleep.

I swear by probiotics. I take them and eat fermented food ALL THE TIME. I

have something like sauerkraut with every meal and drink VSL3 (probiotics)

about 15 minutes before I eat. You can't overdo good bacteria in my book.

I try to balance my oils each day: 30% Omega3 fish oils, 30% Omega6 (almond

flour breads and MANY other things) and 30% saturated fat like coconut oil.

I try to take the oils as fresh as possible and always with food. Plain oil

is really a burden on my liver! I can't eat as much fat/oil as others on

this site. I honestly think that moderation is key here.

I mainly eat steamed green vegetables with a protein. (Currently I have a

VERY light breakfast: the juice of a lemon upon rising and then a baked or

fresh apple w/ a little bit of almond bread or yogurt. I eat my biggest meal

of the day a few hours later at 11AM or so. My other big meal is at 4PM or

so. Even when I was the worst with Candida, except for the first 2 weeks,

I've always allowed myself a half an apple a day, always in the morning.

I've still been able to get the Candida under control with no anti-fungals.

It's been about 8 months.

When I was particularly toxic and not having bowel movements I went and got

colon hydrotherapy. I performed enemas in between. I thought I was becoming

dependent on them but in the last month they naturally tapered off because

my system started working right. (It took a completely stress-less vacation

to do it!)

If you can afford it and know a good one, acupuncture for the liver is VERY

helpful too.

I can't overstate the role of rest and stress relief when it comes to

healing. Try not to worry just follow Bee's basic diet, pick a strategy and

stay with it. Be patient.

I am pleased to say that after a year of hearing from my MD that I might

have hepatitis because my liver enzymes were so elevated, (and feeling

really crummy!,) I found out last week that my liver and thyroid are now in

the " optimal " range. My weight is right where it should be. My hair is

growing back in. My skin glows and, well, I feel great!

I hope some of this works for you. I realize we're all different and you may

have other issues that cause the symptoms you are experiencing.

Good luck! ~Robin

Thank you Bee - and a very Merry Christmas to you too! I do

sometimes have yellow eyes (I look like an alien!!) and my liver

enzymes raise up now and again so I guess you are right my liver

could be a bit stressed. One more question please Bee - if you would

be so kind - the lemon juice you recommend - does that detox the

liver or kill candida??? Thanks again Bee

And as one of my " snack " foods I occasionally drink one of two Thorne

products that you mix with water: MediPro and MediClear.

Maybe you're not doing these but in case you are I should have mentioned

that after an enema I do a coffee enema once every couple weeks. I also

ALWAYS follow an enema with a probiotic " implant " . You know, try to take in,

and keep in!, a small mixture of water with acidophilus or other probiotics

in it. Seems to help. ~R

Dear ,

The lemon juice helps the body detoxify, including the liver, and

also aids digestion. It does not kill candida.

In addition to what I've suggested above, ensure you have eliminated

all sources of " bad " fats and eat plenty of good animal meats

and " good " fats. Fats such as coconut oil are very important for

liver health. The liver makes bile and cholesterol from good fats.

Cholesterol is very important for repairing and rebuilding. Good

fats also stimulate the gall bladder to dump bile therefore

preventing it from backing up creating jaundice. Take coconut oil

regularly throughout the day with meals. I make an egg drink with

two eggs, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/16th tsp. stevia, 2 tbls. coconut oil

and 2 cups of hot water in a blender - have it 3 times a day to get

your coconut oil and the wonderful nutrients in eggs.

Also strictly avoid any drugs and all grains, which can both be very

hard on the liver. Ensure you are balancing your Omega-3 and Omega-6

essential fatty acids - Cod Liver Oil is the best source of Omega-3

since our diets are often overloaded with Omega-6. I compared 3

brands of coconut oil this week (Arctic Cod Liver Oil by Nordic

Naturals; Carlson CLO and Garden of Life, Olde World Icelandic CLO

and found they are not all created equal. The best bang for your

buck IMO is Garden of Life.

Also do take chlorophyll to help detoxification and clears out heavy

metals, especially mercury - Chlorella tablets are good, but you

could also take liquid chlorophyll. I use Chlorofresh from the

health food store. Take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day in 4 ozs. of

water.

What I have suggested for you is quite a bit and it can get kinda

complicated. If you wish please write to me directly and I will help

you with a step by step program with the things which will most help

you. I'm going to be away for a couple of days but will be back in

touch the day after Christmas.

Luv,

Bee

Dear Carol,

I'm not sure which tea you mean, but you can have 4 cups of any tea

per day.

I am not familiar with that type of coconut oil. Fermented? That's

interesting. The word " organic " is not regulated for use

like " Certified Organic, " but unless it is bleached, deoderized or

extracted with chemicals it should be okay. Maybe someone has

information on this. But I also found out that use of the

words " virgin " or " extra virgin " are not regulated either. These

words are used to market oils like Tropical Traditions.

I hope you enjoy the drinks.

Hugs back,

Bee

Hi Carol,

The coconut oil you mention from Wilderness Family is a good one. I've tried

it, liked it and can attest to its healthful quality. I think it might even

be the best coconut oil out there for the price. (I happen to like a little

bit more coconut flavor and so now prefer the Tropical Traditions brand but

the difference is negligible.)

Here's the website if anyone else is interested in the product Carol

mentioned. .

==>Fatty liver is caused by too many carbs, sugars and " bad " fats &

oils, not meats. Your liver will improve as you continue on this

candida program. Coffee enemas help the liver a lot.
