It was especially the ALA that made the difference, only milk thistle and selenium were not enough. After I added the ALA, it took only two weeks to release most of the problems.
I continue this protocol for a couple of weeks to make the liver strong again and eat healthy.

Lynn: Definitely add SAM-e to the protocol your currently using. L-Carnitine is also indicated for fatty liver. This should help.

Melatonin is liver protective and is naturally produced by the body, but production declines as we age.
Melatonin also helps protect the stomach.
Melatonin has a very good safety profile.

I've read many articles about melatonin, it can cause irritation to the stomach...all of you check your facts.
In reply to Jerry R. (Sugar Land, Texas),
Yes, checking facts is important! Melatonin is on my list of very useful supplements for multiple health issues. Here are several abstracts and studies on melatonin suggesting it is gastroprotective among many other health benefits. Something that might be expected from a hormone that is naturally produced by the human body:

I was also diagnosed with fatty liver disease, and found the thing that helped me the most is organic, non-GMO soy lecithin granules.

I have only minor occasional discomfort now, usually when I eat too many bad foods.

Hardest thing to get under control is my fathers Sodium level dropping toooo low and the retention of fluids.
Need some good advise, Doctors are not helping anymore they have given up on my father. Can't understand it his blood pressure is great and heart is in great shape along with his lungs.

Sorry, I just saw this post. I am not sure if after seven years, Martin is still interested in something to treat renal failure.
Cleansing of the colon first, followed by cleansing of either the liver or bladder/kidneys. Colon cleansing has to be done first, before cleansing any of the other organs of elimination. Since we absorb so many toxins through the air, water, environment, etc., doing a colon cleanse, followed by a liver cleanse, kidney/bladder cleanse once a season, four times a year, can be extremely beneficial for our health. This applies to everyone, regardless of where we are living. We could be living on an island far away from civilization and we still are going to have to cleanse our organs of elimination due to the prevalence of toxins in the atmosphere, etc. An organic only, whole-foods, unprocessed, vegan, plant-based diet is extremely helpful.
A raw vegan diet consisting of high-raw foods is even more beneficial. Drinking organic greens juices and organic vegetable juices in the morning, along with organic green smoothies.
Do not eat anything between 4:00am and 12:00pm other than organic fruit, or drinking organic vegetable juices or drinking green smoothies. This is because our bodies go through an elimination cycle at this time. Do not eat after 7:00pm.

Hi Puneeth... Normally the Berkson protocol also includes ALA by IV several times a month, but his essential internal protocol is the following:
ALA -- 300 mgs taken twice a day at mealtimes.
Selenium -- 200 micrograms taken twice a day with meals.
Milk Thistle -- 900 mgs taken twice a day at meals.
Dr Berkson also uses Low Dose Naltrexone, Cysteine and a full vitamin and mineral protocol as well in his remedy. Also taking all the B vitamins daily is important because ALA tends to use up the B vitamns in the body. And if you can't go to Dr Berkson's Clinic in New Mexico, then perhaps your local doctor in India can just contact him by email or phone to find out the exact details of how he administers ALA by IV so that your local doctor can do the IV procedure for your father locally in India. Here is Dr Berksons webstite:

Dear Friends, My wife is 53 years old and is suffering from liver cirrhosis. She has been in hospital for times and is now back at home. She has become very weak and requires help to be walk to the toilet, dining table etc. The doctors have said that she should undergo a liver transplant and it is frightfully expensive 20 Lakh Rupees and there is no gurantee if the operation wil be successful.
I am very worried for her. We have two small children (twin) girls of age 9 and I would have to sell everything that I have to put up for the operation. Also since she is soo weak, I am not sure if she they would be able to do a operation.
I have seen a Mail from Punneth who lives in Hyderabad and his father had a problem with his liver. Would want to know how if he got cured and also as to how to get ALA and the rest of the suggested remidial medicines.
Would greatly appreciate your help and advice.

Dear Reggie from India, There have been some people reporting success with BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] for advanced cases of liver damage. As sick as your wife is, she needs to use caution if she chooses to try this treatment. By that I mean start out with a very low dose of BHT and slowly work up to the larger doses discussed here and elsewhere. I would think no more than 50mg of BHT per day and over a week ramp up the dose used to 250mg of BHT per day. See how she does at 250mg per day for at least two weeks to see how it effects her. If her condition gets worse always lower the dose of BHT used. Here is what S. From Sacramento has to say about BHT and advanced liver disease as reported here in this forum:
03/23/2012: S from Sacramento, California replies: "Hello everyone, I
would like to post my results after a little over a month of BHT 2x a day 350.
These results are amazing. I have normal liver function thanks to this forum.
Thank you, Oscar!!> > Now

> > Before I was told in 2006 that I had stage 4 liver damage due to my hepC
that my counts were in the millions with this other test done by oncologist."
I think this BHT treatment just might work for your wife also because of BHT`s proven and well documented ability to deactivate harmful chemical entities know as free radicals and reactive oxygen species. These harmful chemical entities are assoociated with liver damage and play a big role in causing such damage. The BHT has worked for S. From Sacramento and some others with very damaged livers also. Of course I can NOT guarantee success. But from what you have reported your wife is running out of other options....Oscar
(Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India)

Dear Oscar, Thank You for your reply. My wife has been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis grade II. She has never ever had alcohol in her life. Please let me know as to how does one get the BHT as recommended by you, in India. Is there a place that I can purchase this medicine from in India? Appreciate your reply. Regards, Reggie

Dear Reggie from India, Here is the website of a company that claims to be a " Worldwide Distributor " of BHT and other health supplements:
http://www.nutri.com/index.cfm/product/31_17/butylated-hydroxytoluene-bht.cfm
If for any reason that company does not sell to India try a google search to find one that does.
Also, do you know the cause of your wife`s cirrhosis ? What have the doctors told you the cause of your wife`s cirrhosis is ? I am surprised that these doctors are talking about a liver transplant for someone with stage 2 liver cirrhosis. Though obviously any cirrhosis is not good, stage 2 is not as bad as stage 4. Stage 4 is where S. From Sacramento was when he or she pulled through, got well with this BHT treatment. So don`t get so discouraged. I think there is a very good chance your wife can recover and am hoping this BHT can help her a lot. She should also be taking some vitamin B12 in a dose of 1mg per day. Vitamin B12 is sold in micrograms [ mcg ] dosages. One mg is the same as 1,000mcg. So do not confuse that. She wants to be taking 1,000mcg [ micrograms ] of vitamin B12 per day. Some vitamin C will also help. I think 500mg of vitamin C is a safe and effective dose to take. Also, a low fat diet is recommended for people with liver disease. Eating a healthy diet with some moderate use of vitamins can go a long ways in helping people with liver disease. If she has hepatitis vitamin E supplements should NOT be taken. Does your wife have hepatitis ? Has she been tested for hepatitis B and C or not ? It is important to know what caused this cirrhosis of her liver to occur. The BHT can also help a lot with hepatitis B and C. Give the BHT a try along with the vitamins I discussed. 250mg of BHT with water on an empty stomach has worked for many people. If she tolerates that dosage well it may help to go to the two doses of BHT per day. But only if she tolerates the one dose per day with no problems. There is THE NEW BHT CURES GROUP if you wish to join. I am a moderator there and there are other people there focusing on helping people with liver disease. Here is that website:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_New_BHT_Cures_Group/

Its worth while googling RSO Rick Simpson Oil and cancer. If you are in India then finding the ingredients to make some oil or at least some cannabis butter. many 'terminal patients' who'd been sent home to die by their doctors have had the cancer completely clear up By putting drop of oil under their tongue a few times a day. Amazing results!
I have HCV and my liver has been thru a lot over the years but I've also been fasting and juicing regularly for 3 decades. Which maybe why I'm still alive when many of my old friends aren't. Sadly where I live it's very illegal to use cannabis oil.
I recommend taking some turmeric everyday and selenium, milk thistle, and ALA if u can get some (I mix a drink everyday of turmeric cinnamon cayenne black pepper and flaxseed oil in water or freshly juiced veg which goes down very nicely and can feel it doing good inside) best of luck to you both.

Comment
A 62 year old woman developed a severe acute hepatitis 14 months after starting turmeric. No other cause for the liver injury was identified. The liver injury did not improve with stopping turmeric and within 3 weeks she demonstrated evidence of acute liver failure. She was listed for liver transplantation but developed an acute myocardial infarction and rapidly developed multiorgan failure and died within 5 weeks of onset. Chemical analysis was done on the herbal product which demonstrated the presence of turmeric without black pepper or other potentially hepatotoxins or herbs. The patient was negative for HLA-B*35:01. The case was judged to be only “probable” liver injury due to turmeric. Against the diagnosis was the long latency (greater than a year), lack of improvement with stopping the herbal product, and absence of HLA-B*35:01.

When self-treating with herbal and other natural remedies bought on Amazon and elsewhere, after listening to the online gurus of all sorts, relying on dubious studies always check your liver an kidney markers. Just go to any lab no doctor's script needed. Do it regularly.
Nope, not here in America. You do need an Rx before getting major testing done. I don't know of any labs here that check it w/o a healthcare provider's order. Hepatic and renal function tests are ONLY ordered by a licensed professional. Maybe in some states they do Naturopathic testing but even then those "doctors" have to have state licensing.

I began taking these subtances orally (600 mg. ALA with breakfast, 300 with dinner, along with selenium and milk thistle) annd immediately began to improve.

Sorry for the delayed response. You can purchase ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), Selenium and Milk Thistle at virtually any vitamin store in the U. S. And many other countires as well. I took (and take) 600 mg. ALA with breakfast and 300 with dinner. I also took/take 400 each of selenium and Milk Thistle twice a day with meals. It's a good idea to take a B vitamin if your taking the ALA because it seems to deplete B a bit in its metabolism. Obviously a number of other things help liver health as well including a number of things on this site (good low fat diet, beets, tumeric, castor oil packs, etc.)
ALA is also being praised as a superior anti-oxident by Bruce Ames, Ph. D. Of University of California who may be the most respected researcher of anti-oxidents in the world. For that purpose he recommends you take it 250 mg. Along with 500 mg. Carnitine. They market a commercial mix of the two called Juvenon that Dr. Weil sells on his web site though you could probably buy the items cheaper on your own.

I had severe bloating (ascites) and could only walk a few steps. I was at death's door step. I was "tapped"(paracentisis) about six times--the last time they removed about 7 liters of fluid from my abdomen. The Berkson protocol (Alpha Lipoic Acid, Selenium, and Milk Thistle) worked for me. It did not cure my hepatitis C but all my enzymes improved dramatically along with my health. I went from not being able to walk without a cane to being able to walk 3 miles plus, and reasonably good health. I started to recover within a week or two and went to his clinic in Las Cruces, New Mexico where he administers the ALA intervenously--twice a day. If you type in his name on line (Dr. Burt Berkson) you should come up with some articles as well as the Integrative Medical Clinic of New Mexico. If you are in Texas you are not too far from him.

Dear Peter, thanks information you gave... I am from Turkey. My mother has Liver cirrhosis. I read lots of good things about Dr. Burt Berkson's protocol. I want to try ALA, Selenium, Sylmarian with B complex on my mother. But I am confused about dose... I will try to give 100mg ALA 3x in a day (total 300mg in a day). Than go up to 300mg ALA 3x in a day (total 900mg in a day). is it reasonable ? when we must stop to give ALA?
ps. I found that, Dr. Berkson recommends Metabolic Maintenance, Carlsons, and Biotech vitamin manufacturers. One of the interview he says dose about ALA.. "he has never gone above 15 mg/kg. For primates it takes about 90 mg/kg to kill a primate.

Gokkan, I don't think there is any need for a "slow" introduction to Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Dr. Berkson recommends 600 mg. In A.M. and 300 in P.M. Taking it and other vitamins with your largest meals of the day (Dr. Berkson gives these amount I.V. in his clinic in New Mexico, USA). It probably doesn't matter if the doses are split in 3-300mg. doses. May even be more absorbable that way. There is no particular harm in continuing the ALA after her liver problems are under control. ALA acts as an enzyme, as well as a liver protectant, and facilitates many positive chemical reactions in our bodies.

Over 45 minutes to an hour. One should eat an hour or two before the I. V. And the physician should be aware of possible hypoglycemic side effects. I know Dr. Berkson uses (or used) McGuff Compounding Pharmacy in Santa Ana, California, USA as a supplier for the Apha Lipoic Acid he administers I. V. He also give a 1c. c.

Hi Valerie,
So much was happening in 2020, I pray all is going well with you and your husband. When I saw this post, I remembered about my early years of fasting. The old saints at my church did not eat or drink anything for three days and nights going into the New Year. This encouraged their faith to believe for a miracle. When I teamed up with them, I was still in my twenties and did not know how to power up with better eating and fluid intake before the fast. Sometimes a special three-day fast was also called for in the month of July and that's when I noticed that I would get an ammonia sweat. Once I resume eating and drinking the problem left. So I would forget about it.
Some years later, I read an online article that said athletes sometimes would get this problem because of not drinking enough water. From that, I learned that a healthy amount of water intake was necessary if you fast or lose a lot of fluid.
Quite a few health problems are simply from low water intake. Let's stay well.

If you have not yet tried it, I will suggest going to a homeopathic practitioner. After having elevated liver enzymes due to fatty liver, I talked to my regular homeopath as well as a medical energy reader. They both prescribed tinctures and homeopathic remedies, and a month later my enzyme levels are normal and the pain is almost gone...It's worth a shot. Good luck!

See the mini beet protocol elsewhere on this site. Proceed with small amounts of beet juice at first as it seems to be quite a powerful cleanser for some people.

Carbonated Water, Lemon Juice, Sea Salt
★★★★★
Internal Body Cleanser, disenfectant & Rejuvenator
Water (Carbonated Spring, mineral) it has to be carbonated.
Pure Lemon Juice ( from lemons, a lemon squeeze, bottled 100% lemon juice)
Sea Salt
If you are not a fan of the salty food this may take some getting use to.This elixir is a rejuvenator for a sick,dying liver. Not for the healthy.
Mix sea salt into water in large glass, until it is salty to the taste but still drinkable add lemon juice until you taste salty lemon. Drink it slowly. First time you drink it, it will give you severe diarhea. Drink it slowly & have 2 to 3 glasses a day.
Warning: I took lots of slack from the family. The medical professionals won't like the idea either. I knew. I just knew after much research on cirrohsis, that a very sick liver will begin to recover slowly at first & then your blood tests will begin to come back with much better numbers in the various catagories they check for. This is not a quick fix but is meant to be done over a long period of time. You will see an improvement after about 8 weeks. In between drinking this eleixer make sure you drink plenty of water. Eat lots of vegetsbles, fruit & the leaner meats.Stay away from breads, tortillas & eat sweets in strict moderation especially at first.
You need to take care of yourself & make your health a priority.Something that has probably been missing from your life. I have to take monthly blood tests now 4 years after I was diagnosed with stage 4 cirrohisis. Say goodbeye to any alcohol addicition, if that's why you got this terrible disease.Your liver is sick, slow & lazy. This elixer will wake it up again.Your blood tests should begin to improve in their results within a few short months.. I went from being on the transplant list, to being moved to hepatology & now a family practitioner for monthly visits & blood tests. I have now had quite a few blood tests come back near normal except for slight anemia.I continue with lasix & spirolactone, also laculose although as time passes in less doses. I once thought myself fortunate to survive 2 years after my terminal diagnosis but now going on 5 yeras, I'm no longer consider myself terminal in any sense of the word. I do not have an expiration date any longer!

You don't say how much of salt or lemon you add to the carbonated water. Just as a healthy tonic, I made this up with a tall glass of the carb. water, then I added one teaspoon of sea salt and 1/2 juiced lemon. It was delicious and I could drink it all day; love the salty sweet. But I'm curious... Why do you say the doctors won't like you drinking this. Is it bad for you? Can I take in too much salt this way? should I limit it? Also, am I even adding enough salt and lemon to be of good use? And what, since your article does not say, is the benefit of the salt? Thanks so much.

Thank you for the formula. I've been taking one glass after meals and it seems to help my digestion. I have also made a drink of salt, ACV and seltzer water that I drink a couple of hours before bed. After reading more about ACV and the need to add baking soda for best results, I am thinking of adding that to my nightly drink.

Sodium is only bad in its MANMADE form, sea salt is natural including all its naturally occuring elements included, it thins the bile, which is the livers way of detoxing, this is why it helps.

My husband is stage 4 liver cirrhosis. I'm going to be trying this for him. Is there anything else I can do to help him get better? Please let me know, Thank you.

Hi Chris...You could also try giving you husband daily amounts of the following supplements:
Shown dosages should be taken twice a day at mealtimes:
Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA) -- 300 mgs
Selenium -- 200 mcgs
Milk thistle -- 500 mg
Low dose naltrexone(LDN) should be taken once a day in the evening with water. Dosage is between 1.75 mgs to 4.5 mgs per day.
Other nutrients that should be taken are Vitamin C(1000 mgs 3 times a day) and B50 complex twice a day with meals.
This simple treatment is based on research evidence from Dr Burt Berkson's Triple Anti-oxidant Therapy for Cirrhosis, Hepatitis C etc.
Dr Berkson's Triple Anti-oxidant Therapy
Dr Berkson also uses ALA by IV in his own therapy at his clinic. So if you are interested in arranging an appointment at his clinic in Las Crusces, New Mexico then see this link.
Dr Berkson has had tremendous success with curing Cirrhosis, Hepatitis C etc and his treatment will not cost you an arm and a leg. Dr Berkson uses no dangerous or expensive drugs in his treatment. This is just another option for you.
Also, as important as any nutrient yet often disregarded, is consuming cooked chicken or calf liver Or taking Raw Bovine Liver Tablets to ensure proper & speedy replication of new liver cells. A sick liver cannot properly convert food proteins into non-essential amino acids, thereby depleting the very amino's needed for new liver cells.

I tried before pink Himalayan salt, sodium bicarbonate and both were very detrimental to my ascites. Potassium bicarbonate is OK and potassium chloride as salt substitute.

Thank you for this info. I was diagnosed with hep c last November. I am on my last 3 weeks of a 12 week regiment of Mayvert. Last 2 blood test came out no more hep c virus. However, come to find out I have stage 4 cirrhosis. I have been researching everything I can about this. I truly believe with faith in Our Lord and these natural remedies will heal me I'm going to fight this. If I lose the battle no sadness it just means Our Lord has called me home.

Ariana,
You and your mom might talk to her doctor about adding melatonin as an adjunctive to her treatment plan based on the following review that discusses the effects of melatonin in early stage cirrhosis and late stage cirrhosis :
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6815834/
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
>>> ' Current evidence shows that MT protects against liver injury by inhibiting oxidation, inflammation, HSC proliferation and hepatocyte apoptosis, thereby inhibiting the progression of liver cirrhosis. ' <<<
It is important to keep in mind that melatonin has a very good safety profile even at very high dosing levels.

The ocean's salt and mineral content is bio-identical to human blood. Look up SOL salt. It's a Himalayan rock salt solution with the proper amounts of sodium and chloride. (Ratio) I use Omni Blue mineral drops in my water. It has magnesium too. It is sourced from clean Ocean water in Australia.
Along with the vitamins suggested above: (i.e. Milk Thistle, Dandelion Root, ALA, selenium, B-complex and B-12)
These helped me the most:
Tudca, Biomagscience HGH amino acids, and zeolite with humic and fulvic acid have given me my life back.
Castor Oil
★★★★★
You get cold pressed castor oil, wool flannel, a heating pad and a piece of plastic - I use a garbage bag. There are sites online that will explain it in details.
I put the castor oil into a sealed container with the wool flannel and shake it up. You want the castor oil to e dripping from it slowly. I then put the container into the microwave for about 15 or 20 seconds - just to get it heated up. I then put a couple of towels onto my bed or couch and lay down on them. Then I take the wool flannel and put it on my stomach. If you are trying to heal the liver, put it a little bit more over your liver, if you are trying to heal the kidneys, put it over that area. Then I put the garbage bag onto th flannel and then the heating pad - all the way on high (or as high as you can handle). Leave it on for at least one hour and meditate on what you are trying to achieve. After you are finished, wipe your self off with a mixture of Baking soda and water,to get your skin back to the proper ph.
Do this for 4-5 days on and then leave off for the remaining days.
The is a good book calld Edgar Cayce and the Palma Christi. It tells of all the wonderful things that Castor Oil (the Palma Christi) does!

I am a little confused on the directions for the castor oil. I would presume the garbage bag would burn with the heating pad. Please go into more detail. Thank you.
EC: We prefer using a hot water bottle for castor oil packs rather than a heating pad. We place a thin kitchen towel in between the plastic bag and the hot water bottle to prevent scalding!

Castor oil has greatly improved my liver function! I've been using the castor oil packs for over a month nightly. I've noticed that the swelling has gone down dramatically, and my appetite is returning, and I'm beginning to lose weight. I also have candida and I notice that this really helps to dump the yeast. It's actually very relaxing so I do it right before bed. Castor oil is very inexpensive and can be found in the laxative section of your pharmacy.

I just wanted to add that you can also add SLICES OF GINGER to the flannel and castor oil... I just put the castor oil on the flannel and the ginger on my skin and cover... It detoxifies the liver in better with the GINGER!!!

I think what you do is great. I do want to suggest looking into the overwhelming negatives related to using a microwave and what it does to anything inside of it. If your intention is - to heal - I would avoid using a microwave all together, period.

I love your ginger idea, but isn't it kind of spicy hot?
Also, a general question to all - I think it's either my gallbladder or my liver acting up right now (illeosecal valve is staying stuck open) & I have seemingly inflamed, maybe referred discomfort under left breast/stomach. I'm ready to do castor oil pack, which worked for me for something so long ago that I've forgotten. But where do I do it? Where I feel the seeming inflammation on left side, or where my liver or gallbladder are? Any thoughts?

There is a manipulation to put your ICD back into the correct location. And the chiropractor Or a knowledgeable massage therapist can show you how to do this, or you may be able to research it online. You can find where it's located, between your right hip and belly button.
I put mine back in place by lying down, bending knees (as if you are sitting with feet flat on ground) ). With your fist, push slightly below the ICV which feels like a knot and guide your fist in the imaginary line between hip and navel. My massage therapist taught me how to do this after consuming a parasite from sushi. (If anyone is interested on how to get rid of parasites, it was 100% pure gum spirits of turpentine. Dr. Jennifer Daniels and The Candida Cure book both explain it.
In my case, I was extremely sick from the parasite. 8 months of doctors who laughed when I asked them to check for them. Upon taking matters into my own hands is when my healing occurred. Btw, slaves consumed turpentine 2 times a year to eradicate worms and it was even in Merck's book over 100 years ago. If you decide to use it, research the amount to take. I started with 2 drops in almond milk every other day because I had become so frail, and worked up to 1 teaspoon in a month.)
