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.

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.

🤷 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..

I stopped drinking 20 months ago after about 40 years of drinking very heavily. Very happy I made that decision.

[yomarnt]

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.

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!

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..

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! 😉👍

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 ….

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.

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

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!

Excellent presentation with conciseness and clarity. This is greatly appreciated. Please keep educating people more to save health life. Thank you Dr Berg.

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.

[brandit]

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.

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. 😞

[raymondlin]

My liver must be happy.
Im so wonderful.
I knew i could stop drinking, eat healthier, exercise, etc etc

❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

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’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.

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.
