question about supplements

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I joined the group back in Dec. Because my husband was having

problems with swollen feet, legs and stomach. Since then the doctor

put him on two different water pills one with potassium twice a day

(spironolact 25mg) and one is (furosemide 20mg)once a day. Also

folic acid, B1 and multi vitiams. Low sodium diet and was told he

needed more protein.

Update: he has lost 30lbs to date and the swelling is gone from his

feet and legs. The stomach is still swollen but not as hard any more.

Since we don't have any insurance and can't get help because we have

money in a saving account. (that i'm thinking about removing and

hiding it some where else...lol)

The only test we had done are the blood test which each time come

back a little better.

So to sum it up we don't know if what he has, if it is cirrosis or

just the start of something.

He has stopped drinking (which was only beer over 20 years) since

Dec 1st.

I been researching a product called Liv 52 and Milk thistle both

look to have some good long term studies with good results. Has any

one here tried either one in the beginning stages?

Thank you and I just join the other group also:)
