Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Dr. Bruce, Well, the news is in. I am now in 4th stage of liver disease. I have been using coconut oil for about a year now. I was hoping that it would help. I cant say that it hasnt. I know it has helped alot of other things for me so I have a feeling it has helped my liver too. Anyway, is there other ways that I can prevent more damage to my liver? Yes, its a bit late for these questions but cirrhosis is a real wake up call. Let me explain this disease just a little. First, it is mainly a womans disease. One out of ten cases is a man..it is a chronic disease that lasts for many years or it can go fast..depending on the liver...I personally have had it a long time....and showed no symptoms except fatigue. What happens is..the bile in my liver ducts...is destroying the ducts. Over time, the ducts naturally block up and then bile cant go thru causing cirrhosis. There is no clue what causes this. Drugs, alchohol, needles...nope!! It does seem to run in some families, tho. So...thats the scoop...youre turn Dr. Bruce! LOL Oh by the way, anyone reading this..have fatigue? itching of the skin??? get checked...never hurts to be sure it isnt Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
