Bob has been feeling really lousy lately, and has been very shut in with the bad weather, so it was a particular delight today when a few friends showed up with lunch and talked by the fire for an hour or so.
We are very grateful to those who went or called in to the meeting at Mass General today to learn about being living donors. We know this must be an extraordinary thing to contemplate and a difficult decision for families. We hope each person has lots of support in this discernment and we want them to know that even considering it is a tremendous gesture of support and a kind of gift to us.
Dear Bob: I have been through 5 years of hell with my liver and I believe that my journey can help you. Do you have a regular email address that I can email my experiences to you about nutrition and herbs. Please contact Dr. Qingcai Zhang, MD in China but located in Manhattan immediately. Go to hear what he has to say and take your meds with you. He works with MD’s from all over the world and went to Harvard and worked at Mass General. I did a lot of research to help my own situation but unlike you I have not been able to get any medical care. My liver was so bad that I couldn’t eat hard food for one and one-half years. I had problems with my portal vein but when I cleared the liver that problem passed. My liver had acites and stuck out like a shelf. All of that is gone. I juiced everything I ate. It took me 4 years to eat an entire meal at once. The liver will regenerate but transplant is no panacea and it is better to try to help the liver regenerate. The real problem with HEP C is getting cancer and the problem with HIV is getting a lower immune system where cancers also become a problem so please try to help your liver on your own. Many people in Asia have HEP C and HEP B and the doctors are more successful in their treatments and knowlege. I also read that Naomi Judd cleared her liver of HeP C with herbs. I don’t know if she tells how in her book. I read that most caucasion people can clear their livers of HEP C. The trick is to keep the liver detoxed with lots of water and teas. The other trick is to keep juicing with chlorophyll to repair the DNA which is destroyed by the virus. I hope you are okay as I don’t see any more blog notices. Please send me your email address.
