TThough I agree you shouldn't feel ashamed, you may notice a lack of sympathy or compassion from many people. Unlike conditions like cancer, which elicit concern and well-wishes, cirrhosis of the liver or liver failure, often associated with alcoholism or excessive drinking, does not typically receive the same response. I drink heavily for 30 years. but it was during the last 10 - 15 when I was drinking almost a handle of vodka every two days. Towards the end, I was never sober, except when I was passed out. It's not so much that I regret the drinking, but I do wish I had gone to a doctor sooner and had an ultrasound. I think if I had known where I was headed, I wouldn't have gone down that road.
That’s true, I had no idea my liver was failing. Until it was too late
I have been diagnosed w Stg 4 Hepatic Liver... & I am very isolated...Sending prayers Bro. Thx 4 sharing, its helpful.
I’m alone too, so I understand. Just try to find something to focus on if you can
Thank you for your videos Neil. I have not been officially diagnosed yet but I had an endoscopy that showed a stomach bleed. I also had an ultrasound that showed 3 liver lesions and a dilated bile duct. My lfts were all normal except for albumin 3.4 and ast was 19 and alt was 14. I have been having liver pain and lots of nausea. I know that you're not a doctor, but you seem very knowledgeable. I am having an mri but not until the end of October. I am pretty certain that they will tell me it's cirrhosis. Needless to say, I am very stressed about it.
I’m sorry to hear that, keep fighting and never give up. Try to find something that you can focus on that can bring you purpose and hope, maybe two different things. And there are many stages to the liver so even if it’s bad news, it doesn’t mean it’s over. I was given 90 days to live in August 2022, two years later I’m doing way better. This is not a one size fits all disease so keep hope 😊 and my thoughts and prayers are with you
@Redneckkenobi Thank you Neil and thanks for your videos. It helps to know that you're not alone. I have a one year old grandbaby and one on the way so they give me reason to fight. I quit drinking 17months ago but I guess it was too late. God bless you.
@@rochellemilnac1548 but you quit, be proud! You are giving yourself the best chance possible. Remember you are worth it! Staying positive makes a lot of difference if you can.
Hey man, I saw your comment and wanted to let you know it might not be all bad. I’ve been a pretty heavy drinker for the better part of the last 15 years. Recently I went in for some testing, not related to my liver, for a hernia. This invoked a CT scan, ultrasound, and MRI. While my liver was not the focus of these tests, it was scanned and reviewed by the doctor. They said my liver is fine, I don’t even have fatty liver. I was relieved. All of my bloodwork, including liver enzymes was normal. The MRI and CT did pick up a lesion on my right kidney, but upon further review they said it was a simple cyst, nothing to worry about. They are actually pretty common in the general population. I don’t know your specifics, but I hope things are OK for you.
Keep your head up! Naltrexone is a medication that can help people quit drinking.
Thank you, I didn’t know the name
This is a really good and helpful channel and thank you for sharing your story. It takes courage to ask for help and your sharing your situation takes alot of courage also. Thank you.
I don’t think I’m special in any way, I just want to help. I know how confusing this disease can be. And scary. So I feel by sharing maybe people will see there’s hope
Hey what's going on? Hope all is doing okay. Keep it up❤
I’m fighting on. Thanks for asking. Hope you are well 😊
i just relapsed.
You’re not alone in this journey. It’s the down parts of life where we learn the most. Pick yourself up and quit again. You’re only going to be a quitter is you don’t quit quitting. You can do it! Think about what made you want a drink and think about what you could do differently next time. 🙏For you.
@@galdarr it’s ok, try again! Keep trying. You stumbled now get up and dust yourself off. You got this! Try to focus on something that’s important to you. Find purpose. Mine is my reptiles. What is yours?
I hate myself. I ruined my sobriety
@@galdarr don’t hate yourself, you are human. We make mistakes. If you mess up, start again, if you mess up after that start again and again and again! If you continue being hard on yourself it will be harder. Try to remember you are worth it! And just because you stumbled and fell, doesn’t mean you can’t get back up. You got this! And just focus on today, you can focus on tomorrow, tomorrow.
the human body is such a mystery...who can say there are any limits to what it can heal if we give it a chance, don't get in its way
Wonderful comment! Yes the body is amazing
so sad to hear this. its a shame people dont have marijuana alternatives alcohol is so dangerous
It is. I don’t believe anything good comes from alcohol
Thank you Neil, for your thoughtful information. You are doing very well making it this far. I hope you get the neurological help soon. Neurological issues are frightening - for example having intense pain with no physical damage related. We are so used to pain being a response to injury, when it can just be a "wiring" issue in the brain! Where I live I am also very alone, all the friends I made here left or died, my closer friends are people who are far away. Contacts often struggle to relate to that level of alone... I also have my sweet pets. ♥ Best wishes from me here in NZ.
Yes very true! And great comment, thank you!
Thanks for sharing, my sister has pancreatitis from drinking I'm worried

Among all the diseases humans suffer (3.14 million) diseases of the liver are among the easiest to recover from. I speak from experience. I was Dx w/ Primary sclerotic cholengitis (PSC) . Avg life expectancy is 2 years from Dx. I was given scripts for morphine and percocet along with full unemployment benefits for life. I politely told my GI doc to go fuck himself. I purchased books from the best physicans in every practice and studied my ass off. 8 years later im still alive off morphine and percocet. Special thank you to Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Steven Gundry, and Dr. Ken Berry. To the creator of this video make a change, be aware and learn. Yes the physican you see will monitor your liver enzymes and run MRIs every 3 months and order colonscopys every year but those test wont change anything. Only you can cure disease. Fight on friend. ***not medical advice*** contact your physican
Did your voice sound shaky
It has, hepatic encephalopathy can do that.
Please listen to Dr. Ken Berry & Dr. Berg!
Watch Dr. Ken Berry on restoring your liver & Dr. Berg it could save your life.
Well done.. stay strong! From a fellow supporter from the UK. You are very encouraging👍
I saw your thumbnail & just remind me of my friend back in New Zealand in the same predicament. I'm grateful that he told me before I left. He seems good. We met at the gun range. In short, I gave him something he could not refuse? I gave him 20,000 rounds of ammo to be used as stress management. I sort of know where this is going, but he seems to be in good spirit. My prayer to you too.
Thanks for sharing, and that was nice of you 😊
You need to drink at least two liters of pure water a day and consume milk thistle capsules 3 times a day. In your case, the diet should be based on antioxidants, lots of raw vegetables and no fats, fruits should be very limited due to their fructose content. No carbohydrates like potatoes, rice and pasta. This way you will heal, it works for me having everything to lose. A hug and encouragement in this new stage to live with a new meaning that you find, that is the most important thing.
Hey there brother! Glad you’re do okay with the end stage… sound shitty to say. I was watching your other videos . How much were you drinking when you were drinking. Btw. Bro. You have all the time. You’ll be fine for a while. I won’t blow smoke up your ass but the heart slash liver slash autoimmune…. It sucks man.
Curious have you tried any major diet overhauls something like keto and intermittent fasting? I would recommend checking out Dr. Bergs channel on liver topics
I have 187 CAP 9/9/2024
Prayers and blessings to you and your loved ones.
Thanks!
Thank you for your support
I lost 2 friends to this. One i was extremely close with 3 years ago and another one this spring. Both from decades of heavy heavy alcohol consumption. One continued to drink well after her diagnosis. I tried to get her help. Even offered to pay for rehab to help her. I begged. Sadly she passed. I remember our last conversation. Your vids are great. A lot of good honest info. Inspiring to others. Thanks for making these.
I’m sorry to hear that. Alcoholism can be very damaging to self and others. It’s sounds like you truly cared for those people and I am so sorry for your loss
Your words have really encouraged me! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I'll be sending you good wishes for good health. ❤
Did you ever figure out why you’re having a hard time swallowing water?
Yes, it’s a rare neurological disorder called achalasia, I have to go to a specialist to find out why
I pray you stay healthy and get better ❤
I had all the tests done to get liver transplant. They start telling you more when you’re in the process. Post liver is a nightmare. It’s life but not much of one. Plus they kept asking if I had enough money to pay for the operation and after script cost. That was the key concern
us healthcare and pharma cartel is shameful
I got cirrhosis in my liver. the first time that I found out I had cirrhosis. l start getting very tired. and I felt my stomach very big and my legs very big to.
It's great that you rescue and help reptiles ❤
Just found your channel after being recommended it! I have some swallowing problems from my chiari malformation. I choke a lot. I know how much it sucks so i cant imagine how hard it must be for you. I'm subscribing to you. I enjoy hearing you talk about your life, you seem super down to earth! I hope you feel better and get things figured out. I don't know much about cirrhosis, is it possible for your liver to stabilize and it not get any worse or will it always progress?
Is the neurological condition Hepatic encephalopathy?
Have you moved closer to your friends that can help as a support group and closer to your medical help? Your Go Fund Me is close to it's goal. Still praying for you, Neil. Stay strong!
I was diagnosed 14 years ago. I take no prescriptions for it because the doctors say it will do no good. HOWEVER, on my own, I have changed my illness from Cirrhosis TO Fatty Liver, and daily, it is IMPROVING. There will be those who want to pull their bootstraps up to ask me HOW I did this……..while the majority will give up and succumb to this nasty illness. My way costs nothing more than what you typically do daily. But, son, it is your choice. With your being at the end stage, I will not guarantee you super-duper fantastic results, but you WILL at least have positive results. Your choice. Your choice. Today is 9-8-2024.
Please tell me what you did to reverse it .
@@artiyadav4434 Wow ! FIRST PERSON TO EVER ASK ! Thank you ! I wanted to lose a little weight…….maybe 35 pounds. So, I went into this ignorant of how it would affect my health. First, my diagnosis is N.A. Cirrhosis. PLUS, type 2 Diabetes. So, personally, I chose eating Keto PLUS intermittent fasting. I started with Keto. ONLY meats and LOW carb veggies. PERIOD. This meant no breads, rice, pasta, FRUIT, sugar, even DIET sodas and EVEN “ Sugar free “ stuff ! After a couple of weeks gouging on steaks, salads, and tons of low carb veggies, I added the I.F. Honestly, I thought I would die the first two weeks. Then suddenly, I wasn’t starving anymore, and I was fine with it. I did this religiously for maybe 5 months. What happened was that not only did my extra weight FALL off, but suddenly, my doctors were looking crosseyed at me wanting to know WHAT ON EARTH I HAD BEEN DOING, BECAUSE MY LABS, MRI, AND ESPECIALLY MY FIBROSCAN WAS SHOWING THAT I WAS TURNING AROUND FROM MY DIAGNOSES. I SMILED and changed the subject. I KNOW how these doctors are, so I just let them stew ! THEN, when very clearly my body was turning itself around, VERY SLOWLY, I began to cheat JUST a little ! I now know how much and what to eat……SO THAT MY FIBROSCAN and my diabetes STAYS ON COURSE. I have learned how to experiment with eating Resistant Starches. Today, my A1C is low, my Cirrhosis is now Fatty Liver, and the BEST part, is that I have it totally within MY POWER to be 100% HEALTHY ! My power, BUT for my cheating ! I never cheat to the point of anything going UP………but, I do cheat enough that I prevent MYSELF from being 100% WELL. Ask any questions that you don’t understand. Ask me 24/7/365. I am ALWAYS open to helping. As for TH-cam, I go to Dr. Berg and to Dr. Ken Berry for information. Blessings !❤️
My husband had cirrhosis , he had it for seven years , they said he would only live five , at the end he became incoherent and couldn’t speak or know where he was . They put him in palliative care and passed away in three days. So take care of yourself if you feel like your not yourself go to the hospital. God bless you , prayers
@@user-gk5vu2sz3x thank you for sharing that. I’m sorry for you loss. And I will
All the things you describe is same with liver disease.lean protein from beans plants … meat is hard on livers!
100% false. It's good for it.
Probably from the tips messed up nerves in esphagus. Also sounds like you had fatty liver.prayers.i get hiccups a lot too from acid reflux ..my aunt had hiccups had a heart attack n died scary
I never had a tips procedure. And no nothing you said is accurate about what I have. Look up Achalasia. That’s what’s causing my esophagus issues. It’s a 1 in 100000 people have it. It’s rare. It is possible to have more than one condition. I do appreciate your comments. Imagine feeling like you had a baseball stuck right behind your sternum and it’s being squeezed and the spasms are like being punched in the diaphragm.
@@Redneckkenobi oh sorry thought you had tips
@@RedneckkenobiWho knows could have screwed up something fixing lung , or endoscopy . I had one done bruised all over my tummy . Anyways I hope ya find a cure❤
@@valerielock2374 unfortunately there’s no cure for Achalasia, they can cut the opening but they won’t on me because of the liver. It’s in the cells, not from anything. The swallowing problem started before the liver. Just wasn’t as bad.
@@valerielock2374 no lol. They took a look at the scan and said it was too far gone. The biopsy showed the whole liver was bad, how I’m doing as well as I am Is a mystery. I don’t have the typical stuff that others have. There is more than one way.
Sounds like you have had it tough. My prayers are with you.
The liver doctor gave me less than 24 hours to live on February 6 of this year. Needless to say I'm still here. As far as the cirrhosis is concerned I can remember some of the symptoms that manifested 4 years before I was diagnosed. Like you I blew it off and didn't seek medical attention. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Thanks for ur support
I'm sick too a d scared
write that you are scared about your liver on a a little note. Tape it on the back of your refrigerator or somewhere were you will forget about it. Years from now you will rediscover the note and you will get peace to know that you were and are fine.
Hope you found your new home- sooner the better in my eyes. In this self serving cold hearted society I truly hope you find a great safe calm new place near new Medical support. PLEASE don't let these TROLLS hurt you. ❤❤❤
It doesn’t bother me, I know if I’m going to put videos out I’m going to get all kinds of comments. But thank you! It’s been difficult to find a place over the phone. Most places want 3 times the rent in income. But I haven’t given up 😊
Can milk thistle reduce creatinine?
I had NASH cirrhosis and autoimmune chronic acute pancreatitis in my late 30’s and when I was 44 it got really bad. I developed an infection and encephalopathy and was in a coma for weeks. I was too sick for transplant. Had to go through rehab to walk, shower, eat before they would put me on transplant list. Once I was on the list, I got a liver in 5 days. It was a lot of up and down but I am still here and turning 52. Liver disease is no joke. Prayers for you and everyone else here suffering. ❤
Oops. I also had liver cancer. It was the cancer that caused all the complications.
God Bless
Thank you, same to you
Hey man just curious, how much did you drink daily and for how long before you developed cirrhosis?
I drank for two years, I didn’t drink a drop for 13 years before that. First year was beer, and probably a pint a night the last year. My liver was already failing before I even started. Liver problems run in my family.
Have you used the NAC supplement for the liver?
How long and heavy did you drink for?
