First off, Ascites isn't cancer, it's the fluid leaking out of the damaged blood vessels and spilling the liquid into the surrounding tissue......
Secondly, STOP EATING ANIMAL PRODUCTS. Use a whole food diet of plant based materials and fresh/natural/organic/etc foods. Don't eat things from packages. Shop the outside edge of the supermarket and stock up on fruits and veggies. Limit salt to no more than 2,000 mg a day. It's hard when eating processed food, just to warn ya!
Thirdly, Supplements are great. Sam-e, selenium, milk thistle, vit C. Drinking hot (warm) lemon water first thing out of bed is great. Also coffee enemas are helpful, but graphic. I tend to stay away.
Fourthly, I'm no doctor. I'm telling you what worked for me!

DMSO is capable of killing yeast infections. A lot of bloating in the belly is caused by yeast, notice I did not say all.

Anyone know how often to apply DMSO? We've applied twice per day with no ascites relief. Thank you!

I have a Whippet with and enlarged heart and tons of fluid build up on his abdomen. We had him tapped last week but they only got 5 pounds of fluid of and much of that has came back over the past few days. We have him on the highest dose of lasix. Looking for alternatives to deal with the fluid.

Did you find a solution for your whippet? I have a dog with the same problem, and I'm searching for a solution.

You can get milk thistle caps at vitamin store, I take a small amount daily, but I still have ascites, but its hard to increase the dose because I have kidney issues.

Fibe from Terrigal, Nsw: There must be a stop to the progression of hep/cancer to stop the ascites, not simply slow it down. Are you not fallowing any of the Natural Therapies or protocols for liver cancer here on E.C. or other sources???

BHT reverses Hep. High dose Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is being used w/ good results. R-FractionALA is the best & most potent form.

Hello Zaair,
Would you please tell us if this can be tamarind paste or should it be tamarind seed powder ... I'm looking at both on Amazon and trying to figure out best way to get my husband to consume the recommended amount of the correct one.
Thank you for being helpful to the group!

Look up tamarind candy, very easy to obtain. Also you can look up tamarind paste recipes.

In her book, "Let's Get Well", Adelle Davis says to take 2 tablespoons of (brewer's ) yeast after each meal for rapid recovery from ascites-- I have seen this work. Good luck

Although this is an answer years after you posted the question ... Our Aussie became very bloated looking and began losing his hair along his back. It was discovered that he had non-tomorus adrenal Cushing's Disease which was treated for years with homemade diet, prescribed Traditional Chinese Medicine ingredients and eventually had to go on a Rx medication.

I just read your article as I have been desperately seeking a remedy for my husband's abdominal ascites due too early cirrhosis. I've also read where dMSO is very dangerous, what do you think about this? What happened when DMSO was applied to his sister's abdomen? Was she taking any other medication or has she had any other treatment can you give me any details? I'm dying to do this for my husband.

Serrapeptase
Posted by Anglii (Edmonton, Alberta) on 10/29/2011
Not sure which brand works best but
"When consumed in unprotected tablets or capsules, the enzyme is destroyed by acid in the stomach. However, enterically-coated tablets enable the enzyme to pass through the stomach unchanged, and be absorbed in the intestine."
So I would make sure any supplement you take has an enteric coating to be of any benefit.
Would like to hear more from Lotusland in Vancouver and Shana in the UK as to how the ascites is responding to Serrapeptase. My dad has ascites due to liver cirrhosis and gets up to 11 litres drained every 2 weeks or so. I also wonder, since the Serrapeptide disolves dead tissue if it would do the same to scar tissue on the liver which causes the ascites in cases with cirrhosis.
Thanks

Try to consume less salt and reduce water intake, also dry sauna sessions can help, also look into taking milk thistle injections, only available in Germany, god bless

Hello, My husband was diagnosed 11 months ago with terminal liver cancer, cirrhosis and hepatitis C.
He still seems to be defying the dr's diagnosis of only havine 1 year max to live.
The main problem we have control on is the ascites which has been going up and for months but this week he has put on 1 kilo of fluid per day. His dr has increased his diuretics, and we have been using he following natural method which usually helps get rid of the ascites however it does not seem to be working this time: Watermelon, celery seed and parsley juiced together 2 glasses per day to be taken.
Can anyone please suggest any other natural diuretic which could help without the liver needing to metabolise it?
Many Thanks, Fibe

Chylous ascites is made up of trigylcerides and proteins and lymph. It is not water and does not respond to water pills. It is completely different to lymphedema.

I would Like to hear from shana and Desiree... Any progress with use of serraP... It's important for me as my father is suffering from ascites due to liver metastasis where the cancer is also at the peritoneal lining. Your feedbacks can help.
