I started with a small dose and worked up to three rounded tablespoons a day mixed with oatmeal or in water. I plan to increase this a little more based on my research. Best wishes.

Acquired Ascites this fall as a result of an on-going medical issue - NOT cirrhosis related. I had paracentesis (where they drain you of fluid) and they drained 3. 5 litres - about 8lbs. Ascites will return... You begin by getting tapped every 2 months, then every month, week, daily etc. Mine had started to return, and, truth be told, I was not feeling that great after getting tapped. Because the fluid in my peritoneum was getting watered down with fluid, the viscosity in the peritoneal fluid was lost I. E. My organs were not sliding smoothly over each other, but sticking. Every morning I had 2 ferrets in my abdomen having a knife-fight from 4 to 6 AM (until I had a BM). Pain? I would rather pull a watermelon out of my nose.
Research turned up Serrapeptase, an enzyme from the Japanese silk worm. Long story short, I felt that SerraP could help me - although ascites was not specified (edema was). I started taking 60,000 ui twice a day. Once in the morning, once at night - always empty stomach. It saved my life, I have never been tapped since. Immediate pain relief, fluid went down right away and continued to do so for the next week. Medical condition is still very bad hoodoo, but no more ascites. I needn't live my life floundering with 8 lbs of liquid in my gut, always having to be near a hospital to get drained.

Apple Cider Vinegar
★★★★★
my husband started drinking apple cider vinegar one tablespoon in a glass of water, this seems to be making him go pee often and it seems to be relieving his swelling from just 2 days once a day of this, on 8/1/2021and 8/2/2021.
Am I correct that it helps to relieve water retention in his belly and his top part inside his legs, about 2 times since his top part of his inside legs he had some water come out through his inside of the leg swelling, it has not happened but twice on the one leg that is swelled the most then it stopped after about a few hours of this, this was before he started taking the apple cider vinegar just two days ago, and he is keeping this going because he did pee a lot today, so can you tell me this is helping with his ascites relieving water to help him get rid of the excess water?
Please, and thank you.

The last time in February they wrapped his legs with stretch bandages and the fluid on his legs was down, I'm thinking just pushed up into the stomach. I tried to get him to go in sooner but the fluid got between the lining of the abdomen and the outside skin so they said they couldn't get to the fluid to draw it off.
Does anyone know anything about this lining as to where they couldn't get to to draw it off?? They sent him home after they couldn't draw any more fluid off with hospice care. He ate one meal of Avacado, Yogurt, and Kiwi juice. Avacado causes the liver to give off a chemical that helps because his kidneys got rid of a lot of fluid shortly after the meal. Kale, beets, betacaratene in carrots, brocolli all are helpful to eat.
The last time in February they found cancer in the fluid and said once it's in the abdominal fluid there isn't much can be done because they cannot tell where the cancer is coming from so there was no chance for chemo. He had Hep C for many years and developed cirrosis due to one holiday had a few drinks of alcohol caused the cirrosis. I've also read you can live with only 5% of liver function, I'm thinking if you keep the right diet.
Also note that the spice Turmeric can be taken to slow cancer growth, stop it from forming by cutting off blood flow to cancer tumors. We didn't know he had cancer until this last paracentesis in 2016. He was spitting up a tea colored fluid with cancer cells in it which was the dark fiber looking cells in the fluid spit up. There remains a lot of unanswered questions as to what else he was taking to slow this down. He was an avid Marijuana user and not saying for sure but possibly could have beat the cancer with strains of the green plant. He also said that a half lemon juiced in the mornings with warm water the amount of a 8 oz cup of coffee helped to detox his liver and helped the pain lessen. I hope this helps someone and will keep you posted as to what else I find as to what he was taking to ward off the 2nd paracentesis draw in the 4 years between the two draws.

I have been using the 70% Gel 120ml from PH Health, for two days now, when I apply the cream I get a slight burning sensation which lasts for about half an hour or so (the sensation is tolerable).
My ascites has only come on in the last week, and the DMSO lube has been absolutely no help, it has not been effective at all. The only effective is the uncomfortable irritation when I apply it. Is this stuff doing more harm than good?
I am desperate to get rid of this fluid-I follow a strict diet, take all the right supplements and herbs. Maybe my liver is coming to the end of the road. Any thoughts out there?

I noticed no one mentioned vitamin a, b vitamins, or vitamin c, which one would think would help the liver do its work. I should think lecithin, raw eggs, mustard seed powder, horseradish, parsley, liver, organic foods, filtered water would also help. There is a recipe floating around for lowering blood pressure that may help, too. It involves combining 1 cup each garlic juice, ginger juice, lemon juice, honey, and apple cider vinegar. You take some a couple times per day. I don't know the exact recipe.
My husband has been using it for a few months and his afib is improved and blood pressure is going down. His waist is reducing and his complexion is younger looking, too.

Sarasaparilla - diuretic
Dandelion - diuretic
Mint - Mildy diuretic
For sarasaparilla, take one root soak in 1 litre of water over night, and drink this water throughout day.
Drinking Dandelion tea - is diuretic - it is a liver medicine as well
Just eating Raw Mint leaves is diuretic.
Sarasaparilla is a body coolant too.

She also suffers from dependent edema at times, and she has been able to get the fluid out of legs and feet using only herbs. I gave her milk thistle seed, dandelion leaf and root in tincture form and as tea. The milk thistle seed is great for the liver. It has a liver rebuilding substance called silymarin that literally rebuilds liver cells. The dandelion is a very effective diuretic that contains potassium. Most diuretics drain potassium, but dandelion leaf contains quite a bit of it so it's far superior to other diuretics that my mom has taken. She takes the tinctures in the morning and the tea at night and hasn't noticed any edema in months. The ascites is still there because her nutrition isn't perfect and she still drinks a few alcoholic drinks a week. Since her liver and kidneys are still quite damaged, her ascites hasn't been able to go away. I have read that garlic can cure it, along with doing many other amazing things for the body so my mom has been taking kyolic supplements. She refuses to eat raw garlic. This has helped her circulation, but hasn't treated the ascites. Next we are going to try bitter melon and see if that helps. I will keep you posted.
Serrapeptase
Although it is known as ascites - it is basically water that accumulates in the stomach. The doctors say that the cancer cells produce this fluid as lactic acid. Alot of people with Liver failure have this problem. My mom has terminal cancer so I do not know if it is liver failure or the cancer cells producing this waste fluid that collects in stomach.
There are over 150 causes of ascites, so it is hard to know what is causing this ascites. The fluid in the stomach needs to be drained. I do not know if diuretics would work with this but I hope someone out there knowledgeable in ascites would be able to help. I have emailed Ted as he seems very educated about cancer.
Please can anyone let me know of any good cures.

Also one avocado daily in a green leafy salad. Easing up on sugar, carbs and meats will lesson the burden as it is easiest for the liver to process veggies.
Carrot and apple freshly juiced. (Gerson Therapy)
Also do some research in taking alpha lipoic acid, daily selenium supplement.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda
Also look into remedies that take some pressure off your liver and promote good bile production, and replace your coffees throughout the day with 2-3 glasses of water per cup. If you have a brita filter or access to alkaline water like Kangen water than even better. I'm not a doctor, just been involved with naturopaths my whole life and this is all from experience.

She has the paste however unsure of how or how much to take. She has just come out of hospital again after 3rd drainage. They have given her no hope and want to put her in palative care.
I am so scared and don't want to lose my Mum. I already have lost so many family members all too young. She is unable to afford the clinic in Mexico and Australia will not provide alternative for cancer. It's a cruel world. Thanks again.

Integrative cancer treatments and live support/lymph detoxification and drainage formulas by the homeopathic Pekana brand would probably help keep this painful condition from getting worse/causing debilitating discomfort.
Thank you for posting this information..I think my dog may have this since her belly looks bloated on the days her cough is severe( Thankfully not that often). We do give her a liver support formula and she is also administered Intravenous vitamin C treatments by her holistic vet and regenerative treatments.

I even tried rubbing raw honey on the skin pre & post-application & that didn't work to stop the burning. I thought DMSO would be a Godsend for all of my health issues but just like many other supplements it didn't have any good effects for me. Thanks!
