While there are a lot of cirrhosis symptoms, there are a few main warning signs you need to be aware of.
Cirrhosis is end-stage liver disease. With liver cirrhosis, a person’s normal cells are replaced with scar tissue. This typically starts with inflammation.
Many different things can cause inflammation in the liver, like alcohol, drugs, and refined carbs. A fatty liver can also develop inflammation.
The liver has incredible reparative cells that lay dormant until they are triggered by chronic inflammation. But, you still lose function.
A loss of liver function can increase your risk for liver cancer. It can also cause a bile deficiency, which can affect your digestion and the elimination of cholesterol and toxins. Liver damage can lead to many other health issues that affect the entire body.
Top warning signs of cirrhosis:
1. Dark urine
2. Mood and personality changes
3. Ascites (fluid leaking from the liver into the abdomen)
4. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)
5. Tiredness
6. Right upper abdominal discomfort
7. Itchy, hot feet
What to do for cirrhosis of the liver:
1. Stop the root cause (carbs, alcohol, drugs, etc.)
2. Take TUDCA (750 to 1500 mg per day on an empty stomach)
3. Take tocotrienols (300 mg per day)
4. Consume more cruciferous vegetables
5. Get on the Healthy Keto diet
6. Start doing intermittent and prolonged fasting
Keep in mind that medications can also affect the liver. Milk thistle is a fantastic natural remedy for the liver and many other conditions-it would be worth talking to your doctor about.
If you have an autoimmune disease that affects the liver, you may want to try bovine liver pills to help reduce inflammation and reset the liver.
Check with your doctor before stopping or replacing any medications.

Thank you Dr
I will always watch every video you post since I love learning new things about health
My bf has some of these systems. TY I been watching you over 6 yrs. And I trust your word. I told My mom about you for yrs. Now my mom said her and my stepdad enjoys watching you very much.
Can you do a video on iron and all the aspects of iron?
I was given 24-48 hrs. to live. If anything past that, i would be put on hospice. After two weeks of intense regimented hospital care, i was released. Death was imminent. I began a diet of leafy greens, beet juice, green tea, fruits and doubled up on milk thistle. It is 8 yrs. later and I am still here. A one in a billion chance. I like to think that my faith in God helped tremendously. Round the clock nurse care for those weeks didnt hurt.
What were you diagnosed with?
How are you doing now
Yeah very important fact, he left out.
We are made of the earth its only natural we consume from the earth.
What a remarkable recovery. Good on ya. How you doing now?
🤷 My Doc is still in shock and wondering, how the hell did she heal herself of liver cirrhosis 🤷🤷. Hmm,😘😘 if I could finally heal myself without doctor's help against all odds even when my Doc said I will be needing a transplant then anybody who is determined and disciplined enough to avoid and accepts the dos and don't of such illness or even others can heal themselves too. Sending life and positive energy to all who are struggling to heal themselves naturally. This is me saying natural healing is possible. God bless you Doc Berg, you re my number 1 inspiration on this journey of self healing and helping others heal themselves too..
How'd you heal your cirr
Did you do a detox , change your eating habits ?
Please help a sister here,I'm 32 suffering from this disease it's been 3 years now,I'm on a liver transplant list here in Connecticut! I really want to heal myself Naturally! How did you do it???
Give us some advice sis
Cirrhosis is a scar and doesn’t go away but the liver can become compensated and that’s a form of healing - this is what happened in my journey
I stopped drinking 20 months ago after about 40 years of drinking very heavily. Very happy I made that decision.
I got the same problem I’m slim but have a pot belly
Just notice my pee is dark
@Erikk Hyndman I’m sorry to hear about your situation that I’m one drink away from. Man, I literally decided one day that I am taking control and I stopped. I can’t say this is for everyone, but that’s what I did. I was up to 1/2 a fifth or more daily at around $1,000 a month since I was drinking moderately expensive Scotch. I was going to die. I’m in my 60s and plan to keep this up till the end. We will see. I wish you all the best!
@Erikk Hyndman Safely is probably not a concern, just a few crappy days of withdrawal that you’ll have to get through.
Oh wow really 😢.
I'm 46 now and been drinking since I was 18. But only at the weekend when in uk.
But when on holiday probably 30 days in a row.
Been on holiday 20 years and I eat crisps
But my skin my face wow. Ive been lucky because my wife and her friends ask if I has cosmetic.
So I really believe your just born lucky.
I did crap at school 0 graduation.
😂🎉
But I'm so so handsome
And every country I do to they say the same
@Erikk Hyndman try naltrexone. It helped me. 120 cans of beer a week
I’m 25 and alcohol has destroyed me I’m starting to see these kind of symptoms. Only thing I always do is fasting and holding on to that (lost 40 pounds) but I realize that it’s not enough. Time to put this to sleep and change my life for good.
Have you tried any of Dr Bergs liver detox protocols yet?
@@theartistcherrypi6454 I’m going to check the videos thank you.
Wishing you luck, stay balanced 🕊️🕊️
Just to be sure (if you haven't already) see a liver specialist.
Fatty liver can be cured, but you never know. Alcohol destroyed mine, I stopped drinking. But, mine if farrrr beyond fatty. Wishing you well.
You got this m8. Just do whatever he said on this video and be consistent with it. Stay strong 🤜👍
My dad died at 63 from cirrhosis. He was an alcoholic. If you drink too much please consider stopping. My dad did stop once but started again after 2 years. His body was getting better then he relapsed. You never want to watch someone go thru that.
Alcohol is an unforgiving mistress but she does help you dull the pain. I don't think there is an alcoholic out there that didn't suffer from acute, unacknowledged and untreated trauma. Sorry for your loss.
You're exactly right. Just a couple of weeks ago we buried my dear brother he was 54yrs he die from alcohol cirrhosis of the liver, and in 2019 Sep we buried my older brother he was 55yrs old.... in between both of them my mom past away from COVID-19... it's very painful to see them suffer so much before passing away from cirrhosis.
Who covers so much variety in such breadth & depth, yet simply & succinctly, like Dr. Berg - with the added pleasure of a smooth voice & pleasant personality in his presentations? Nobody that I’ve seen.
Thanks again for another interesting & important post. Keep up the good work.
We appreciate you! 😉👍
Totally agree!
You forgot to say handsome. He’s a hottie.
Yes!
Eleven years ago, I got sober after being on life support for three days. I was an alcoholic and smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day. After turning to holistic healing and de-toxification of the liver. I am very grateful to see this informative post. Healing the liver can be done; and quitting smoking is possible!
How did you do the liver cleanse?
Congratulations. What did you do to cleanse your liver?
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis in August of 2021 I immediately stopped drinking and began eating mor healthily nothing special just obvious stuff plus exercise, I was tempted many times to drink again ..I had tests like bereavement, exposure to party environments, lack of understanding from friends but I didn't crack pure willpower did it .. 20 month's later all my bloods are normal, my latest liver ultrasound scan revealed that everything was normal and I have an only mildly fatty liver..which is a complete turnaround from ascites, weakness,man boobs, pain in upper stomach yellow eyes swollen ankles, i still can't believe it.. the biggest test is to come, can I avoid a relapse into alcohol... What does help is videos like this showing that I am not alone and that you can survive cirrhosis..
First of all, may GOD continue to bless you and help heal your body.
Glad you were able to combat this issue which is honorable in my opinion. I too like a drink and have been doing some since a teenage (if im being honest). I know it's a difficult process but you have already found success when you decided to change.
What I would like to know is it you can expand on the man boobs situation. I am still dealing with this issue at 40 years old. Been at the gym for a consistent 6 months now. I do notice some change in my body due to working out and diet. However, I am somewhat unfamiliar with the effects of alcohol as it pertains to man boobs. More importantly, I have no recollection of ever learning or hearing about man boobs as it would pertain to Cirrhosis. I'd really appreciate a response either way. Please take care and GOD bless!
@@johnstamos4325 thankyou for your blessings John I will explain my experience of 'man boobs' ... They began as small lumps behind each nipple that were a bit tender to the touch, I immediately went to my doctor who referred me to our local hospitals breast clinic for a mammogram, I provided a list of medication that I was taking to combat the effects of cirrhosis which included a diuretic 'aldactone' this I was prescribed to me for my acites which had become quite severe.. one of the known side effects of aldactone is stimulation of the female hormone estrogen which in turn stimulates breast growth, okay.. now I had the mammogram and the specialist doctor immediately told me that it wasn't cancerous and asked about had I any underlying conditions such as liver damage, I explained that I had been diagnosed with cirrhosis, after hearing this she explained to me that a damaged liver often over produces estrogen and testosterone in disproportionate amounts, basically it's not working properly.. so my man boobs that at this stage had become quite noticeable and sore were a side effect of the medication and liver damage.. my liver specialist and my GP agree with this diagnosis...so I halved the medication (aldactone) and continued a good diet alcohol free and over the last few months my man boobs are subsiding and while not completely gone they are diminished in size and not as tender to the touch.. I was told by my doctor that this condition would take time to clear completely and it is all subject to my lifestyle being healthy.. no miracle cure just doing the right things, a good metal attitude also helps, I think you have to want to get better and actively search out solutions for yourself.. doctors can help but a lot of it is up to ones self.. I hope I have been of some small help to you John, I wish you well, may goodness bless you ..
@@johnstamos4325 Hey John, may I add a thought as well. Just like Andy mentioned, some medications can be the reason. However, in my research, environmental toxins like EDCs (endocrine disruptors) are probably the biggest elephant in the room. So about the Alcohol: remember, alcohol is a toxin. it can disrupt hormone balance in the body by affecting the production, metabolism, and regulation of various hormones, it may lead to an increase in estrogen levels OR a decrease in testosterone levels (ratio is key), contributing to man boobs. alcohol damages the liver (so as bad foods, medications, environmental toxins etc) which can lead to cirrhosis. As the liver becomes more damages and less efficient at metabolising hormones and toxins, there may be an accumulation of estrogen and other substances in the body like EDCs, further exacerbating hormonal imbalances and contributing to man boobs. things like phthalates or Bisphenols have been linked to man boobs. and as liver is struggling to detox toxins out of the body BUT the chemicals like EDCs (synthetic estrogens aka zenoestrogens) keep coming in with food/personal care products/plastics etc - the body starts reacting accordingly and grows tissues that would normally grow with the presence of high estrogens.
Remember> Estrogen is known as a proliferative hormone, meaning it promotes the growth and development of certain tissues in the body such as the uterus and breast tissue. Synthetic estrogens coming with water and food (in plastics),personal care products (deodorants, soaps, perfumes (big one, full of phthalates), washing powders, anything with synthetic fragrance, even cash register receipts etc) - all bind to estrogen receptor. SO yes, it's important to stop alchohol consumption as it makes liver less efficient at getting rid of excess hormones and toxins, but at the same time it's crucial to avoid all EDCs as much as possible!. This is something that nobody talks about, but I can't emphasise enough how important it is.
I read liver scarring is not reversible. You have a normal liver now? Stay strong in your battle. inspiring story
Try not to replace alcohol with sugar. Thing is; IF you’ve grown to a place in your life that YOU WANT TO BE HEALTHY (a symptom of becoming wise🙂) you won’t have much problem ignoring stuff that is killing you🙏👍🩵
Still not drinking
That was 3 months ago.
Im still not drinking.
My liver must be happy.
Im so wonderful.
I knew i could stop drinking, eat healthier, exercise, etc etc
Im so wonderful
❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
its a hard habit to break
4:42 Fascinating information on the thyroid / liver connection. And an outstanding, informative video overall! Thank you so much for all you do!
Still love this format the best! Others may try to copy but Dr Berg does it the best!
Excellent presentation with conciseness and clarity. This is greatly appreciated. Please keep educating people more to save health life. Thank you Dr Berg.
My pleasure! Glad you found it informative.
@@Drberg I've been watching you over 6 yrs now. And my mom and stepdad finally started getting into your videos as well 👏😃 I'm so glad. Bc you are amazing Dr.
same!
@@Drberg hi sir i m suffering from bad breath even after doin toothbrush it feels same after some time plz guide wat to do by video thanks 😊
@@paramkaur5400 My breath improved when I flossed and used a waterpik every day. I added a few ounces of hydrogen peroxide (kills plaque and scale) in warm water. Gargle after with peroxide/water to clear tonsils. Avoid sugar and white flour.
Wow this is an eye opener. The liver affects the thyroid 🤷🏻♀️ Not only does that explains a lot of things for me personally, but also highlights how one organ is interdependent on another. Optimum health then can only be achieved through a holistic lifestyle, and not just giving up a few bad things here and there.
this video is very close to my heart as my dear old dad passed away due to this .
Years of smoking , cigarettes and little to no physical activity ( he ran a pub ) took their time to do their damage . I saw all these signs as did the doctors he visited but ignored their help despite numerous stays in hospital . He just gave up and lived on the edge .
please don’t ignore the signs ….
Sorry for your loss 🙏
@@sheenalynn8664 thank you . This was a long time ago but you never forget seeing a parent suffer from something they could easily remedy with lifestyle changes .
i saw my dad with mostly yellow eyes and skin in his last years …
we knew for a lot of years that tomorrow could be the last day … we just sort of lived with it until that fatal day the phone rang …,,
i tell my own son to live well but stay in control and listen to medical advice ….
I just lost my dad a month back to cirrosis. I'm watching this video just to understand if he could have been saved.
My beautiful late mom died of cirrhosis. She was on many types of medications (due to HBP, Diabetes and Stomach Ulcer). After 3 years of all those toxic meds, she passed away in her unconsciousness. She was 71. Wish I knew how to save her then. 😞
You look super young to have had a 71 year old mother just 3 years ago!
So sorry for your loss :(
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@willmdmv8848 thank you. It's mainly genetics, clean lifestyle and skincare.
@@pi_beta7306 thank you. She was a generous and a great cook.
Hi Dr. Berg,...I am the person who had the worst acid reflux, and I was on Prilosec for 25 years. I really suffered for years. I followed your protocal, and I am so happy to say...I no longer need prilosec, or anything else. I purchased your vitamins etc.from Amazon, and took them on schedule daily. I also improved my gut health, and take your liquid probiotic every evening. Of course, my husband also follows the same regimen. I am so grateful to you, I finally lost the prilosec, and feel well. Sending all gratitude and best blessings to you and your family. I am so happy you are available on youtube. Many thanks, Sara Weslow
How did you heal your gut? Can you please share thanks
that medicine is vicious it damage the kidney function and i suspect the liver too when i stopped it my kidneys function got better
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🎑
Thank you so much for sharing this Excellent content with everyone ,
No going around the bush. very educational. with only few minutes of time spent to discuss the whole topic , you get the whole chapter of the book! thank you doctor!
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Alcohol the worst drug
This is by far, the best video I've seen on end stage liver failure. Thank you and god bless you Dr. Berg. My situation is not as bad as others. However, I've had fatty liver for over 30 years and all that was ever said to me by my doctors was to not worry about it. Well, here I am at age 62 and my blood work was beginning to show low iron. When I went for a routine endoscopy, the doctor realized that I had Cirrhosis. Upon following it further, the liver specialist told me that I showed no symptoms as of yet, but to get into eating healthier. I don't drink or do drugs I told the specialist. He said that this happens due to years of fatty liver. I wish someone had warned me in my 20's when my liver enzymes were elevated. Thank you again, Dr. Berg!
How are you feeling now 11 months later?
I’m absolutely obsessed with your channel Dr. Berg! I’m a pre-PA student so I haven’t gotten to learn all the different diagnoses or anything yet but this is helping me get the exposure I need and I love that you don’t add tons of fluff and tie everything together with how each system in the body works and how it can affect other systems/organs. I usually don’t comment but I just had to tell you you are such an inspiration to me! Much love from TX ☺️
Just so you remember, it's all about nutrition!!! Don't be afraid to hurt somebody's feelings about their health when it comes to their intake of food!!! I wish I had been given info earlier in my life to help me for today!! God bless you and keep up with the nutrition, because from what I hear, the med beds will be coming out hopefully soon!!!! If we're lucky...
THANK YOU Eric! I saw this video and ended my long time relationship with alcohol immediately. Sometimes you need a good scare to make a a change.
I’ve been doing healthy keto 4 weeks now, the first two weeks I didn’t notice anything different, I was always hungry doing intermediate fasting and cutting out grains, bread, pasta.
I’ve started Eating more green vegetables with my meals instead of carbs.. around week 3 I starting feeling less bloated and more energy, I worked out a lot before keto and now I’ve been feeling so much healthier my skin and eyes are glowing and I’ve been sleeping better also.
Respect and gratitude for the work you do for us Dr Berg.
Glad to help!

Dr. Berg you are literally the best thing on You Tube🙏🏼 I watch all your video's and I'm always learning how to better my health thanks to your knowledge 💯💞
Nice one doctor. As an alcoholic who is aware of cirrhosis, this gives me more courage to stop. Addiction is a demon. Not easy to get over with.
I hope you managed to stop drinking. You're right, it is a demon. Pray to God in the name of Christ to release you from it and He will. He will set you free. Give your life to Him and let Him restore your peace. You'll never need to drink again.
I am so thankfully for you. Because of you, I weaned myself off of 5 medications. No one mentioned gut health and mental health go hand and hand. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mania etc.. every trip to the drs just got me another script. Started weaning from the benzo, wellbutrin, ssri, lamictal and finally fished the tapering off of seroquel. Also down 80 pounds in the last year. So thank you very much for all the knowledge you share with us.
That’s because medical doctors keep gaslighting patients! They tried to throw Zoloft at me too, come to find out my iron deficiency with anemia was causing the symptoms of anxiety etc…
I would really love to wean off of seroquel. How did you do it
@@kristinabeck2174 it was literally the hardest one!! I went from 100 to 50 for 1 week then 25 for about a week and a half. Once I quick taking it, it was about 15 nights of sleeplessness and 15 days of roller coaster emotions.
@@xxms7610 if it wasnt for pharmacist idk why my primary np put me on a ketonazole cream for bacteria after knowing acites liver kidney problems some Drs Dont Care Anymore very Sad. I too weaned off meds just super depressed all my family is no longer here and idk what to do. Tyvm
all those medicines effect the liver. they don't tell us.
Dr Berg is an absolute living legend. God bless this man 🙏
Just to tell anyone who sees this and struggling right now with your health that there is hope, just want to let you know that you can, yes! Self healing is possible, I have been afflicted, and abandoned to die cos they all thought my case is imposible, buy heaven stood by me and the knowledge I have about self healing, home remedies and other factors played key role to my healing. Most importantly is having a determined and positive mindset. Believe you are healed and no devil can stop your healing. My doc categorically told me I can't, But today he has eaten his words and still confused and does want me to tell others about it. But I will keep saying and shouting it, self healing is possible if you re determined and believe. No disease is incurable, worse of when you place it at the feet of my Jesus.
Could you please share what you did to heal your liver?

Ty Dr Berg, I have a family member that needs to see this.🙂
Dr. Berg your channel is awesome and i'm learning so much about how the liver works. By the way, i'm a former alcoholic and i was diagnosed with some liver damage and all what you said here, makes so much sense especially how alcohol can ruin my health. Thank you for educating many people and including myself to have a better health and take care of it more. I'm a healthy man by miracle and my liver is fine now.
Great video, thank you. When I get my blood tests done, what specific measurements am I looking for that indicates liver inflammation?
Thanks for mentioning the right side pain, it amazes me that so few videos on liver damage ever mention this - they go on about itchy skin and spider veins instead. I suspect that right side abdominal pain is the first (huge) warning sign that most people have!
I had this for weeks... finally quit drinking and now no pain and no itchy skin
Actually,it could be the gallbladder pain/discomfort (possibility that it could be Gallstones).
First, rule out the gallbladder before thinking that it's your liver.Depending of your age too.
@@Eros13adios Thanks! That is an excellent point. In my case I suspect it is a bit of both. The liver has no pain nerves, but a swollen liver pushes on other things - and both organs are very related to each other.
I was discharged from the hospital with hepatitis from the infections and antibiotic IV for a week. Ascites is gone and thought I was improving but now have pain in liver area.. leads me to believe it’s progressing to cirrhosis rather than improving. I didn’t have pain in the area before. Confusing why liver enzyme numbers are better, ascites gone but having liver pain. no alcohol since leaving hospital either. Starting to feel hopeless
Thanks so much for this video Dr. Berg. It was very informative and it helps to hear about some ways to improve the liver when it is in trouble.
Very glad to be of help.
This is one of my favorite No Sugar channels. tHanks for another fun video.
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!
Glad to hear that! You're very welcome!
I found this to be really useful information, because it covers so many areas that are all inter-related. The human body is indeed complex. I cannot believe that some think this is all random "amoeba soup". It is a clear sign of super-duper intelligent design. All we are doing, is trying to reverse-engineer how things work, and how to make ourselves healthier by following what the original "design" was - which by definition is Nature.
Good Tuesday afternoon to you and outstanding video post. Reply: I lost my mom to Cirrhosis a few years back. Until this video I associated it with just drinking and prescription drugs. Thanks to you and this video here. I have a whole new understanding and hopes to further educate myself on the subject. As well the most importantly go see a doctor. My age crept up by 1 year on yesterday.
How is milk thistle not on the list of tonics? 10 years ago (2012) a relative who had abused painkillers and alcohol for years went into liver failure . They had zero appetite (dropped 30 pounds in a month), couldn't eat/defecate, smelled of ammonia on short walk I dragged them on, random chills, could barely sleep, finger nails were starting to curl and would turn purple with chills from lack of blood flow, hiccups, upper abdominal pain, zero energy, etc. Doctors were useless. He quit his job a few weeks after symptoms and made a will. He was laying on his sofa waiting to die.
I googled away and found milk thistle was prescribed in Germany for liver ailments. I bought him NOW 300mg milk thistle and he started taking it 3x a times a day. Within 3 days his appetite came back as his liver started functioning again. He's still alive now. I believe he takes milk thistle once a day, twice if he had a few beers (amazing). I think he has a few once or twice a year. I know he also eats steamed broccoli a lot, says he can "feel it" the next day. But the milk thistle is a bandaid. He said if he doesn't take it at least once every 2-3 days he starts feeling sick again and symptoms start creeping in. I even tried the milk thistle and the other thing he uses...Himalayan liver care. OMG the Himalayan one made magnificent BMs lol. I think it bumps up bile production or something.
himalaya liver care is pretty good yes dragon herbs schisandra whole world botanicals chanka piedra himalaya boarhavia diffusa and other
@9:05 Milk Thistle is top of the list.
Excellent work as always

My dad passed away with this due to being an alcoholic , it's not a good ending if you can look after yourselves now peeps ! God bless u all!
Dr. Berg, you are my hero! the VA, DoD, and other Federal agencies over medicate us military members and as a result my liver is screwed up. The stress from ID theft, retaliation stress, and malpractice (medical) has taken its toll on me. I cant get proper care and I am not the only one this has happened to. This has been a pandemic and our American Citizen turned a blind eye to the war agaibst America. Thank you for all you've done and may God bless you. Thank you for allowing me to be on your show and may the Lord Jesus bless you. God bless.
I can't wait to see you have got 10 millions of subscribers until end of 2022 😀
You deserve it 👏
Thank you!
This was dear to my heart, my father passed last year from Cirrhosis and so much of this sounds familiar. I subscribed to this chanel to learn and as preventive measure for my own health. He was not a drinker, but we think it was Hep C that led to the cirrhosis, but he never got himself tested.

I was diagnosed with cirrhosis ( fatty liver ) back in January. My most recent bilirubin score was 0.8 out of 1.0. It had been as high as 1.4 . My gastroenterologist is very happy . I attribute my progress to your dietary advice. Thank you.
@The BootyBandit The fatty liver caused the cirrhosis of the liver.
@The BootyBandit That's exactly what I said. I'm moving on now. Have a great day.
1.4 is not that high. I mean it's above average. Mine was 12 then came down
How did they diagnose you? What test did they do I mean?
Thanks- I love your written instructions
You're welcome!
One of my friends died from this condition 2 years ago 😔😔😢😢 he was so young only 32 his birthday was the following week after his death! I miss you so much Malikai!! I regret not stopping to hug you the last time I saw you!! I still remember you playing that Beyonce song Poison back in the day!! That song is fire!! You tried singing it🤣🤣 did the bomb hair! Funny, kind, sweet, and misunderstood!! Until we meet again my friend!!🫶🏽 I love you!!❤️😘
Fantastic video! I have a friend who has a severe fatty liver and his doc has talked to him about getting a liver transplant. I've told him about your channel and about fasting. His doc wants him to eat 6 small meals a day. He feels he can't fast at all due to his diabetes. He feels he would get dizzy if he didn't eat 6 times a day. How would someone get from 6 meals a day to IF if they have diabetes? Thanks!
you have to reduce the portion and eat lot of fibers (oatmeal, veggies, some fruits that dont have starch)
9:53. Milk Thistle herb is also supposed to be the top anti-cancer herb. I buy all of my herbs in bulk, so that I can control how much herb is going into my capsules and/or herbal infusion drink, and I just began adding milk thistle to the mixture.
Thank you. Another thorough and caring video.
You're welcome
Im so binge watching every vid this week.
I struggle with mental health and alcoholism. I tried overdosing on gabapentin 600 Mg pills which turned my eyes yellow. I then carried on with my alcoholism. It took time but then remembered what problems I am having and what it could be from. I have all the signs of what I’ve done to my liver. I have to work on my mental health if I’m going to win this fight of healing my liver and kidney 😪 The doctors just want to medicate you when you go to them for your mental health. Now I can’t get no pills after trying to overdose
One meal a day is great for testosterone and fatty liver like you said. I also follow the high testosterone foods, no bread or sugar, plenty of olive and coconut oil, cocoa, pomegranate, Turmeric and just vegetables and eggs for better protein.
This Man Is A Genius!!!
Doctor Eric excellent video as always can't thank you enough. your the man .
Very glad to be of help.
Water fasting helps big time. I have a friend who had liver problems. Right side pains. Jaundice in the eyes. He water fasted for 2 weeks and it helped his liver to heal. Never had any problems with his liver ever since
Sooo true 👏
How do you water fast
@@rosemarievaneck7511 Just drinking enough water throughout the day and no food. You can try to not have food for 24 hours and see how you feel. Then 72 hours and so forth. You might feel tired but you'll get use to it after the 4th or 5th day. Do it for a week and see how you feel. Ease into slowly. After the second week you might want to drink some electrolytes not just water.
How quickly did his jaundice go away after he water fasted?
@@mitchellbailey3673 everyone is different. It's not a cure but it might help. He did water fasting for 2 weeks
My husband passed away in March because of this disease. Very hard to watch someone die from this. Hypoxia I think it's called was so sad. He didn't make any sense for about a month before passing away. Ascites was not fun either. So much fluid on the belly.
I quit drinking in 2007 because my body couldn't handle it anymore. My liver is healthy now
Sad to hear. Take care.
Thnks again for trying to improve our lives. ❤️
My pleasure!
would love for you to do a video about cholestasis in pregnancy and ways to recover your liver after delivery
Timely... Just this morning, I began a 4 day water fast, to work on my Liver... Besides Water, I am also taking Vitamin E, Choline, D, K2 and others. This is my first fast, ever, other than Intermittent fasting. We'll see how it goes. I may extend it to 7 days or more. Thanks. I needed this video :-)
Do you use the life intermittent fasting app? I’m on day 5 and it’s helping me power through until day 7 🙂
@@theartistcherrypi6454 Nope... I rarely even turn on my phone and don't download apps that I don't need... Fasting isn't rocket science...
Distilled water pure h20 1+ gallon a day perday of water fast ..buy 4 gallons do 3-4 days until they are gone ..buy 8 gallons do 6-8 days until they are gone ext. ..is all you should be taking during water fast ..taking vitamins can be toxic as they would be overloading your body because its not consuming anything else the entire point of water fasting is to clear out your body, distilled water will pull out the toxins ...u don't want go add more things into your body you want to pull out everything..3+ day is great for your organs and will clean your blood well ...longer the better ..don't even use toothpaste as it can be toxic and road into your blood easily thru your mouth ..flohride is poison already do if your body has nothing then ur holding poison in your mouth it will soak into your body easy more then normal ..baking soda and hydrogen peroxide coconut oil pulling is good mouth hygiene
Such good information. Glad I gave up alcohol 6 years ago. (Heavy wine drinker for 10 years.) Had I known this info, 👍 early 40s, would've never drank the stuff. Since then, no more acid reflux, weight gain, lethargy & depression. (And early aging.) Interestingly, quitting alcohol was much easier than giving up sugar & carbs 3 years later. Every day since is still about mindful food choices.
Your story sounds similar to mine. Wine was my go to stress reliever. Recently changed to lower calorie, low sugar seltzer. Removing salt and sugar also helped
@@shericegillespie7409 Yes, exactly. I had a high-stress job for many years & becoming a wine connoisseur (lol) seemed to help. But it really didn't... 😋
(Good for you :)
Thank you for this video very informative explained ir in terms anyone can understand 👍
thank u so much for detailed medical backed info
Can fetal ascites be caused by liver damage, too?
Thanks so much for everything you've done to help so many!
yes… my had a liver cirrhosis and had an ascites before
Cirrhosis is no joke. I was diagnosed in 2017. Mine was caused, it turned out, by hereditary hemochromatosis and alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, plus an unhealthy diet. I had all the symptoms except ascites. I took milk thistle but my liver was too far gone for it to help much. In Early 2021 I developed a hepatocellular carcinoma, and was placed on the transplant list. Less than a month later I got my new liver. So, if your doctor tells you that you have a fatty liver, take action immediately. Don’t ignore symptoms. 14:50
You mean you took someone else’s. It is never truly yours. Plus you are on potentially deadly drugs for the rest of your life.
Thank you for your information, it will help me improve my liver health
Dr Berg You are a Saint I refer you to every one. I wish I new of you before. I unfortunately missed the signs & have decompasted cirrhosis
I’m in the early stages of this now thank you for your help
Thank you so much Dr. Berg. My mom has initial cirrhosis, no symptoms. I am following all your advise on this disease and she is with more energy and just getting better and better.🥰 God bless you.
Hi Karynita229….. im glad your mom is feeling and getting better. May I ask how she found out since she didnt have symptoms? I have pain in my right side but blood work is fine so I know I need a test. I also do not have a gallbladder anymore.
@@waterdiamond9 Hi there! It was because she had a mild anemia and the doctors couldn't find the reason. With an ultrasound they found fatty liver and after that, (4 months of Keto diet) when my mom didn't have a fatty liver anymore, they did a fibroscan. This study is the most reliable to detect cirrhosis. Oh I almost forgot,my mom had a mild pain on her upper back, right side but we thought that it was just tiredness..
@@waterdiamond9 Also, my mom didn't have gallbladder since she was thirteen years old. So this played a big role and was one of the causes of her fatty liver.
@@karynita229 IMO cholecystectomy is a cause of NAFLD. I had the procedure, took care of myself yet I got NASH. Medical establishment doesn’t talk about this.
@@georgiafan6618 so true. Follow Dr. Berg's advice on the Fatty Liver and you will be fine 🙂
Black coffee no sugar can reduce the scars in your liver damages caused by alcohol consumption , my brain feels foggy and my eyes tired and when I drink a simple coke my brain wakes up because of the caffeine. Green tea no sugar is good. Avocados are good and Apple Cider Vinegar before sleep. No red meat at all. When I drink cold cow milk I feel better too. After my birthday the 19th of july Im going fully sober for 1 year at least no cigarettes no alcohol not even a beer.
Do away with the apple cider vinegar and go back to red meat and leafy greens, you'll be healthier
This is so interesting that I will listen to it again. Thank you for sharing ✌️
Most welcome! Glad you found it informative.
Thank you again Doc. God bless you
Too late for my young beautiful brother. Just buried him 2 days ago. He had several ulcers that bursted and couldn't make it. Please take care and listen to Dr. Berg.
So sorry for your loss!
@@sunset3052 thank you. 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss 💐
So very sorry for your loss, stay strong ❤️🕊️🕊️
Thank you all, help anyone you know with this illness. Sometimes just passing information is enough.
You have literally brought me back to life on your knowledge, but you don't quite understand that unless we do take care of ourselves, we will be toes up Joe!!!!! Since 2015, I have realized that most doctors don't want you well; this is because they need us half dead to keep their lifestyle going!!! I've never had a doctor approach me with intentions to fix my problem but only to treat my symptoms! There's all these unnecessary tests that they need, instead of looking into the whole picture of nutrients and frankly, I'm disappointed in the medical system because I still am where I was in 2015, after a fall down stairs the first thing they wanted was some urine for a drug test, which about killed me!!!! My kidney and back is still messed up today, although I did change my eating habits and religiously watch your videos for nutritional information, because it's not found in the medical system of today and I just want to thank you for what you do, may God bless you and yours and keep them coming!!!
Thank you for such detailed explanation. I am wondering about the liver pills you mentioned. What their name and where can thery be found? Rhank you in advance!
Thank you doc for sharing very useful information
You're very welcome.
Drugs is pretty vague. What drugs?
God bless our National Treasure, Dr. Eric Berg.
Could you please make a video about pros/cons of using sweeteners instead of sugar?
I love this guy! Thank you Dr Berg! I love learning!
Glad to help!

Thank you sir, if i knew this in the month of January this year probably i could have saved my mother.
You are very welcome
Went to my Dr. this week. ALT dropped from 45 (high) to 24 (normal). Was diagnosed with NASH ....not anymore. Lost 18 lbs. A1C normal range. Urinary incontinence and fibro managed. Docs were amazed at this progress...been following Dr. Berg for 2.5 months - but not strict.
Next step - adhere to strict protocols , add longer fasts weekly and monthly. Lose 40 more lbs. I am over 50 and 100% disabled (Gulf War Syndrome). Dr. Berg's protocols and supplements drastically improving my health and quality of life. Thank you 🙋♀️🥰
Wow! That's wonderful! Congratulations! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story:

I used to get pain in my right side probably due to inflammation of my liver caused by my alcoholism. I'd also get itcy, flaky skin. Thankfully I've been sober for quite a few years now and don't get those symptoms anymore. Plus I eat pretty healthily with very little fried foods or take aways.
I’ll add vitamin E really helps. I started taking wheat germ oil and for the first time my alt was within range. Been a boozer partier guy my whole life. Past few years really cut back and been doing keto/low carb for 4 years. Always been big on exercise. I’m 56 white guy in good shape.
Like always 😳 Thank you!! Dr. Berg
You're very welcome!
Thank you Doctor for your help and details Information ❤🥰😇🙏⚘
Clicked so fast
Another big sign is inability to hold their alcohol any more. A friend who had been a heavy alcohol drinker very suddenly got extremely drunk after just a couple drinks. I found that very odd, and put it down to her being very small, but didn't connect the dots with severe liver failure, the inability to detoxify it any more. She was a cigarette smoker, too. Not very long later she died of liver failure. Wish I knew of this info then, and was able to connect the dots.
My late father, a longtime heavy drinker became intolerant of more than a small amount of alcohol 8 months before he died of liver failure.
Sorry for you and your friend, it takes a lot to share this with others. Many of us don't take things seriously until it's too late.
@@rey3472 My hepatologist said alcohol is toxic and to avoid it. Sorry about your dad. I ceased alcohol in January. It’s crap.
@@georgiafan6618 I quit by 2001.
@@rey3472 Good for you 👍
Extensively times that step we are afraid to take might just be the right one. Thank you, Dr igho for your Inducement and for not allowing me down throughout the whole revolution. Your Medication that I am Delighted I came across your Channel
I’m so fed up with the medical field after telling doctors for years I was in constant pain and discomfort and being told Everything was normal now I’m told I have an autoimmune condition, a fatty liver and chronic pancreatitis 😩 I’m trying to put the pieces together it all seems connected but my brain fog and memory as in late is not helping I’m through with doctors. But I do really appreciate you and all your information Dr berg❤
