Liver Dying? Nothing Is Working? Natural Medicine Solutions - Reference 2012

Ranked #5,406 in Healthy Living, #94,101 overall

They told me my liver wouldn't make it! But I'm still here!

My liver was shot, I tried whatever the docs had and now, all that's left, is Natural Medicine. I didn't know how I got to this state. I was getting tired. I noticed my healing was slower. I felt hot and irritable, insomnia, gaining weight. I only drank a glass of wine here and there. I just went in for a standard check-up. The doc said my "liver was fatty, scarred, have to do tests". "The results were conclusive, I was in trouble. My enzymes were off the scale. Other measures were slightly too high. They tried their medicines but things were getting worse. I was getting weaker and with each medicine, I just wanted to sleep. Other complications started to show. Headaches all the time, constant ringing, eyes blurry, ..." "After all this, I was getting desparate. I knew there had to be other options."

If this is familiar to you then you know how challenging this position can be. The uncertainty over which way to go - conventional or natural medicine or both? And just as important, who is the best in their profession with your condition?

Well in my case, I was forced to look at alternatives. Thanks God! I am never going back. Many more birthdays to come.

UNDERLYING CAUSE OF LIVER IMBALANCE

LiverIn our stressful lifestyle of unreasonable deadlines, worldwide tension, low quality contact at home, poor food, little exercize and gradual physical breakdown, our current conventional medical system with which leads with surgery, antibiotics and lethal pharmaceuticals is overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations. More people are discovering that an additional medical model stands equally with other therapies with real, fast solutions for chronic conditions.


Natural medicine which employs the use of sophisticated Chinese medicine assessment, enduring Asian herbal formula with additional strategies to customize the balance of the client are essential for long term developing conditions. In the case of your liver, the usual troublesome scenario occurs where the liver becomes hot and deficient due to managing excess toxicity which results from managing the above process. When the liver overheats, the heat rises and affects the organs that the heat comes in contact with. The path of the heat goes through the:

  • liver
  • lungs
  • heart
  • stomach
  • esophagus
  • throat
  • mouth
  • nasal
  • passages
  • eyes (fuzzy)
  • ears (ringing, hearing loss)
  • brain (memory, concentration)

When you stop the heat pattern, you will notice that you feel better, less irritability, more patience for others and more importantly-yourself! As you ease, you notice that when the prolonged heat is replaced with neutral temperature:

  • digestion improves (Reflux subsides).
  • sleep and less inflammation.
  • throat produces less mucus and we know how disturbing this is when trying to sleep.
  • Periodontal signs willl cease, bad breath ceases
  • Nasal passages will open up after years of being stuffed thus providing more oxygen
    resulting in more health improvement
  • headaches decrease
  • red eyes become white
  • hair loss reduces
  • concentration, focus improves
  • liver cleanses itself & detoxifies the blood


When the lives comes into balance, the likelihood of its performing normal function is heightened. Liver functions and measures return to normal.

Is life worth living?
It all depends on the liver.

    I would need more info on this. An assessment would tell me whether its your stomach or liver. Usually pain involves cold or lack of energy in that region of the body. Warming or energizing remedies would balance the area.

    I have peri-menopause where my liver heats up for that too! Would this work for that too or would you recommend something else?
  • HERBMASTER Dec 28, 2010 @ 2:25 pm | delete
    I would recommend Peri-menopause Comfort if you still have your period. If your period has ceased then Menopause Comfort would work best. If there are an extreme amount of symptoms or its summertime then I recommend Paramalin. All can be found at Longevity Mountain under menopause formulas.
