Oh, I did make a mistake - I said liver is on the left side. This is false, it's on the right side and ankle/leg and edema is also on the right side more than the left.
It's funny, Dr John Campbell also made this slip. Probably because docs are envisaging the facing patient, rather than looking down at their own trunk.
I quit drinking months ago. I was a heavy drinker for many decades. But I had a lot of these symptoms so I quit. 3 months later and I feel so much healthier. The itching gone, the bloated belly gone, the fatigue and malaise gone. I'm absolutely positive I was heading towards liver failure if I continued that lifestyle. BTW I am a 49 year old man and I will not pick up a drink again!
That's good to know, I'm 46 and have been drinking for many years too. I have none of these problems so it's good to know I can keep drinking and not worry about it
I havent drank for 20 yrs maybe and I did most of my partying in my teens up til 19 than had kids didn't do anything for longest time at least 15 years then 30's bout 5 yrs heavy partying again apparently I have cirrhosis but ultrasound sound and other methods said light scarring ....then and no doctor has figured it out dermatology useless I started getting sores some like diabetic ulcers....right arm atm and left leg atm...I cant figure it out....I have no pains in stomach?Gastronologist sucks....doesnt say anything but huh?
@@scotcharron1679 An ultrasound is useful but can't be used on its own to diagnose cirrhosis. For that they have to look at the overall clinical picture. Plus the ultrasound only images surfaces. Have you had an elevated liver fibrosis test yet? None of this is meant as medical advice of course, I am not medically trained but then I think neither is Dr Berg, well at least not in science anyway.
I was diagnosed with end stage (decompensated) 3 years ago. It's said that this stage is not reversible. BUT I was actually able to reverse it with herbs & diet change (& of course no more alcohol). I am not on any meds, and they had to re-diagnose me as "compensated" about 2yrs ago. Don't accept every diagnosis, & don't lose hope just because the physicians tell you something can't be done. I'm living proof that sometimes they're wrong. 💜✨.
You have no idea how happy seeing your comment has made me! 💜 My father, who I was unaware was sick seems to be in end stages (hasn’t been officially diagnosed as he’s just come to me from another state and we haven’t made it to all of the doctors yet). I’ve been researching how to heal him and I was looking for a story like yours. May I ask- did you lose a lot of weight without trying? He’s extremely thin and frail and I’m trying to find the balance of fasting and getting him the calories he needs.
My husband had all those symptoms. We spent years at doctors offices and hospitals. No one would help him because he wasn't (sick enough). Then he was to sick for a liver transplant. He died at the age of 60. I feel that the medical professionals let him down.
So sorry. I know your frustration from my own experience and have come to believe that medics tend to ignore or write off what they can't understand or fix.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad had this in August. He had been sober 10 years and out of nowhere was diagnosed with liver cancer end stage. I feel the medical professionals let us down and didn’t take his diagnosis seriously. They assumed it was because he used to be an alcoholic and I feel they let him die.
@@billg4630 Thank you. I pray for you also. It is very painful to watch a loved one die. It is truly one of the hardest experiences to ever face. My husband went from 305 pounds to 185 pounds in less than 2 months.
I had liver disease from an autoimmune disorder called PBC. I had all those symptoms. One of the worst was the severe itching. My arms would be bleeding every day. Nothing would stop it. I got to the end stage. I was told I had only days left if that. I was bright gold. The toxins had gotten to my brain and I was not able to speak clearly or understand things. I couldn't walk without help. I just wanted it to be over and I prayed for God to take me home. I don't know how many days after that my 2 kids got a call that they had a donor liver that was a match.I remember the car ride there and thinking it was the last time I would be seeing anything so I looked for flowers and trees and anything that was beautiful. When we got to the hospital they started prepping me for surgery and did pre op blood work. They came back and said that I couldn't get the transplant because my blood work was unstable in something. I think potassium. I told the kid to take me home because I didn't want to die in the hospital. They all convinced me to stay in the hospital to stabilize me in case they found another match. A couple days later some poor guy in Georgia got into an accident (I am in Florida) . He was a better match. The original match for me had COVID, which would have been hard to overcome in my condition. They took a helicopter and picked up the guy and brought him to me and did the surgery. I made it through. It's been 10 months now. I take anti rejection meds every day. It's not easy but I worked hard with a physical therapist and I can walk my dog and do small chores in the house now. The meds come with a lot of side effects and they are still working to regulate my dose so it's not so hard on my kidneys and I get severe migraines from the meds. But every time I get to feeling down, I remember how I was before the surgery and how that young man saved my life. It was a true miracle. I'm now trying to offer hope and support to other transplant recipients and people suffering from liver disease
I had the pregnant look and most of my clothes were too big - just to accommodate by belly! I found a Dr Berg video that stated "you cannot lose weight while you have a fatty liver". The penny dropped and I stopped trying to lose weight and instead, focused on healing my liver. It took ten months of keto and I.F. 19:5 to fix everything and lo-behold, 103 pounds disappeared from my body. I'm staying keto forever, because it is NOT a diet, but it is the correct human way of eating.
@@sayss4611 I do consume low carbs, but I don't even count anymore. I think I'm below 20g per day, but I'm definitely below 30g. Bearing in mind, I still consume some carbs, with vegetables and nutritional supplements -- like coconut and almond flours - plus nutritional yeast and ground flax.
My little brother at age 08 died of Acute liver failure this year. He was sick for 4 months. Today would've been his 9th birthday. Being in a third world country the health care system isn't that advanced. But I learned a lot from you Dr berg. Thank you for spreading your knowledge on this platform.
This is a very good list of facts about end stage liver disease. I’m a nurse and I have witnessed all of these symptoms in my patients that are especially alcoholics. Also they bleed easily due to poor clotting factors because nutrients are not absorbed if the poor liver have to constantly clear the alcohol .Thank you Dr. Berg for the information and educational videos you post!!
@@slamfreepoetry1845 In this video Dr. Berg listed and explained the BASIC symptoms, the most important ones to remember. And at the final stage the liver might get diminished, specially when there's cirrhosis.
My father suffered most of those symptoms due to his bad liver condition. He also suffered from cardiac problems. At the end he died due to renal failure (as stated in his death certificate). People must stop drinking alcohol and/or high fructose corn syrup consumption to avoid liver problems. It is an emotional trauma to see a person that you love suffering from those conditions.
@@plamondonworks6948 Thanks and yes it’s very sad and the feeling of not being able to ease their pain and suffering leaves the spirit weak. Be strong and prayers for you and the patient.
My father died now on the 24th of October. He went for a liver biopsy and had internal bleeding and died after the test. He had few platelets, had ascites and suspected liver cancer from cirrhosis of the liver. My family and I were not warned of the risk of the exam. The saddest thing is that my father walked to the hospital for the exam and left in a coffin. Karina (São Paulo, Brazil)
Hi Dr. Berg. I am from Malaysia and a nutritionist myself but you put me to shame. I am amazed at the amount of knowledge you have and the way you are helping all of us. You are practically saving so many lives. I don’t think I can thank you enough for the way you are educating us and making us healthy. You are God sent and I have shared your videos to as many people as I can. They will all benefit from your videos. Thank you so much Dr. Berg.
7 weeks & counting ,taking DrBurgs knowledge & applying it to every day to reverse the damage I’ve done over the years…I can turn it around & when I have a urge I watch him teach & learn me why I don’t, inspirational & caring is his Motto .. stay strong friends
@@scottallen7195 That's so brilliant to hear and so true. I am 16 yrs sober now, I wish I had known back then. I hope you're doing well. The liver is an incredible organ.
2 summers ago I was diagnosed with a severe fatty liver with fibrosis due to too many carbs, but also Hemochromatosis. Iron was damaging my liver. I was itchy as all heck all the time, but I also experienced severe night sweats & leg cramping - especially in my left hamstring. I have since had my Hemochromatosis treated with Phlebotomy Treatments, & gone KETO. I’ve lost 150lbs. My night sweats, itchiness & leg cramps are gone.
@@stephenienoel106 I eat Healthy Keto. I’ll start by telling you what I do not eat: I don’t eat bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, anything made with wheat flour, no corn products. I typically start my day with a Bulletproof Green Tea Macha w/coconut oil, heavy cream, & stevia. Then I only eat a late lunch/dinner consisting of either beef, chicken, pork, or fish - typically salmon or tuna. I’ll also eat a side consisting of one of these vegetables: pickles, kimchi, sauerkraut, broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, asparagus, green beans, or cauliflower. That’s about it.
keep going, it will take a while to heal. When going on Keto or Carnovore, you instantly start to feel much better. 3 years of keto will heal the liver completely
@@fearless6947 I’ve gone from a Severe Fatty Liver to a Mildly Fatty Liver on my last ultrasound from about 1 year ago. I’m due for another ultrasound, so I’ll see where I’m at. I do know one thing - I had the flu 2.5 weeks ago and I needed antibiotics & my liver did not like that at all. I ended up being fatigued. I’ve been taking Milk Thistle and Choline supplements to combat my liver issues (Fibrosis & Fatty Liver), and I think it has made a big difference, but I’m still not 100% yet.
And that is the exact type of things I don't want to look at. I will listen, find 4 things from this list in my body and start worry. Can we get a video on 10 signs that everything is ok with a liver? 😀
My brother died from liver disease a year ago, yesterday. He was 55 and had not seen a doctor/dentist since high school. He was hiding the symptoms and by the time my family noticed and tried to help, it was too late. I Iive in another State, so I couldn't see his decline, but suspected he was ill because he complained about his back bothering him and I could hear his shortness of breath a few days before he died. Afterwards, I chatted with so many men, who admitted they don't get regular physicals, blood work, dental care, etc. How many men would still be alive had the just gotten a physical.
I am 66 and I'm not a drinker so I never suspected it but I went for a physical because I wanted to buy some life insurance and they caught it and of course turned me down
Keep supporting these politicians who won't let everyone have free healthcare if they want and the bodies pile up. I can't even remember the last time I saw a dentist, I'm not paying for that!
no offence but they often blame women for not nagging them and we don't wanna nag them, men are adults and can go themselves like a big boy. How many men would still be alive if they manned up and just do the adult stuff unbidden?
The Bible says that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made", and that's awesome!!!! Thanks be to God that He created the body with the ability to regenerate itself!!! I LOVE YOU, LORD!!!! 😊👍😃
Because your body houses many things in the cells like energy factories if something is wrong the body starts regulating energy to other functions for defense. Therefore we feel fatigued. It's the body telling you something is not right.
I have been fatigue from 2009 to 2012. Then it was on and off till 2020 then it became more frequent n I have be on supplement to get energy. N even now m very weak 2022 sept. Doctors are only diagnosing anxiety. M telling them something is wrong in my body but they don't even want to listen to me. M struggling so much I have a lump type mass on my upper right abdomen which is the liver area n I also get the stabbing pain or sometimes it pushes me. Doctors is India r only telling anxiety n it's not. Pls help
I wanted to point out that "severe itching" and "yellowing," also known as jaundice, can be caused by gallstone(s) blocking the common bile duct. When that happens, bile from the liver and gallbladder begins backing up in the system and the blood vessels. It can show up in a blood test as high iron and bilirubin. It does not necessarily mean a person has a dying liver, but the gallstone blocking the bile duct needs to be removed.
Yes, but issues with bile salts leads to gallstones. Issues with the liver trickle down to the gallbladder. The gallbladder may catch the blame, but where there is a gallbladder problem, there is most certainly a liver problem.
Thank you for doing this, awareness & education is so vital. My mom died of liver failure 11 years ago, she was the 5th of 10 kids of same complications, they were not alcoholics, abusing substances & took care as best as best as they could as given the situations growing up(very poor & worked on farms & why I think most were sick or now on other side). Environment for home & farming are so important for our living & sustainability especially in the indigenous communities were this rate is high & stereotype do not help.
Wow! I thought of kids who grew up on farms as healthy because they have diverse gut flora, with being exposed to dirt all the time. They also sleep in accordance with the rhythms of nature and work physically, which is much better than excessive sitting. Eye-opening. Maybe they were exposed to a lot of sprays for the crops.
This is the first video where you don’t offer any hope or suggestions for people to get better. We never know when a person has reached the “it’s too late” day. 1) Fast from all food 2) Drinking 1 lemon in water up to 6 times per day helps neutralizes the ammonia, stimulate bile production & make the person more alkaline. 3) Freshly prepared carrot & beet & greens juice 4x/day. 4) Large charcoal poultices over the abdomen changed every 4-6 hrs will pull fluid through the skin and relieve the pressure and toxic load. 5) Complete change in lifestyle if the person responds and gets well. 6) For all those with a non-alcoholic fatty liver: remove ALL processed refined carbohydrates. Eat real food only. Utilize the above suggestions on a modified basis. (ie. Start each morning with a lemon squeezed into 12-16 oz of water. Wait 30 min and drink a freshly prepared vegetable only juice. Can repeat in the evening. Rinse & Repeat each day.)
I am a recent breast cancer patient with metastasis to the liver. Love these videos and I so appreciate any information you pass along! Thank you Dr Berg!
Get some coaching from Dr Berg or binge what all his videos. Carnovore and intermediate fasting will help too. Drink some bone broth. Hope it goes well with you, best wishes🙏
@@leereid-anstey2809 Make yourself happy too. This is over looked. There is a book call the happiness trap by Dr Russ Harris. He also has a dvd streaming course for $300. The book is about $10. It's the same thing but one is dvd and other is a book. Depends how you like to learn
I developed a varicele and found out I had cirrhosis of the liver. I didn't drink hard alcohol but I had went on a drinking binge for about 4 yrs because my brother had died from drug abuse. I just tried to numb my pain 💔 and it took its toll. I began seeing a Transplant dr but he told me I would have to be dieing to get a Transplant and said liver doesn't always take and if it fails I would die in the hospital. I quit drinking cold turkey when I found out. Has been 5yrs but I have been diagnosed with lymphedema and on lactulose for ammonia on the brain. I have next to no white blood cells. We all deal with pain differently and I didn't think I could get sick so fast. I have memory loss plus swollen and jaundice. I am at peace with my maker. I hope by sharing this I can make a difference for anyone . Keep yourself busy with work or just go for a walk. It isn't worth it. God Bless everyone who reads this 🙏.
Hello Dr. Berg I came across your channel about 3 month's ago I am a sixty year old male with type 2 not very active also i had an arterial flutter so my activity was low due to fear of heart health i was at 290 lbs at 6 feet tall to the point i followed your advice eating OMAD about 1500 cals low carb (leafy greens only) moderate protein and fats (olive oil) and also ACV I must say you changed my life (Thank You!) i now lost 35 lbs not hungry But the best part is the energy level sky rocketed this snapped me into a new me again Thank You your channel changed my life........
Congratulations, Bill! What a wonderful success! Sharing your success story to Dr. Berg's website will be highly appreciated! Please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Yes Indeed all of these are fact my mom passed away from liver disease I wish I had known some of these factors back then it would have been very helpful thank u so much love your videos
I have a the leg edema still it’s getting way better tho. However I been fasting in between meals that helped A LOT I HAD A LOT OF FAT IN MY LOWER STOMACH it felt like a Little hump but it’s mostly gone. I use Apple cider vinegar the one that say with the mother. I add only lemon and that’s it. I drink it before bed I stop eating at 8pm First meal is at between 11am to 12pm next meal is dinner about 7:00pm to 8:00pm So from 8pm to 11:00am I don’t eat that’s 15 hours then I do a small fat from 12pm to 7 pm that’s 7 hours. It work I’m able to keep food down I’m starting this fat burning workout 🏋️♀️ I’m do 15 minutes for the first 4 weeks then I’m push it to 20 minutes
Wow your inspirational! For me the apple cider and lemon been a god send I didn't know how much I needed it I was doing it before starting intermittent fasting and healthy keto. My issue dr Berg said we should drink 16oz with basically 2 tble and AVC and lemon, it's to acidic on my teeth but I been using a cap full.of AVC with a table of lemon in a small cup of warm water. Is that enough ? How much you take acv and lemon ?
My brother was diagnosed with fatty liver a year ago. We consulted doctors. They said not an issue it's normal. Now a year later he was diagnosed with mild fibrosis. With a fibroscan score of 7.42 he was diagnosed with his first scar. But again doctors are saying it's normal. My trust in medical system is shaken!!
Fatty liver can be reversed before it turned to cirrhosis or liver cancer Low carb diet and avoid HFCS are methods. Take MCT oil can help too BTW, he should fire his doctor
@@kerrybutler5172fatty liver is normal and in most obese people. The doctor wasn’t lying when he says it’s normal. If you are fat, you have fatty liver.
My liver is on the right side but everything else is spot on. All my swelling is on the right as well. I was finally able to address my liver problems after I was diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure. Seems the liver also starts dumping thymine instead of sending it to the body. AND Wham! you develop wet baribari (aka CHF). I've fixed my blood, veins, edema, ascites, kidneys, heart, lungs, nerves, bones, but my liver is a challenge still. As I heal I'm learning that my liver causes pain and fatigue with every poison that slips into my food. Funny thing, as a kid I worked in commercial gardening around high doses of glyposate, 2-4 D, and many other toxic gardening products daily for a few years. I now attempt to find clean and nutrient dense food but even organic food lacks nutritional density unless the farmer knows a mineral guy. In nature minerals are unevenly distributed if over farming hasn't depleted the soil as well. Then we fertilize with 13 minerals the plant uses instead of the 77 we use. Then we poison our food. For example additional manganese is needed to overcome glyposate as glyposate binds to manganese rendering it inert in living systems. You can't breath without manganese. Then we get to the bottom of it all poverty. Poisoned as a kid fighting fatigue and paying doctors that just wasted my time made life more challenging. I appreciate doctors like Dr. Berg as they are far superior to the 23 years of doctors that nursed me down the garden path while I could still work. Dr. Berg is one of nine doctors I meld to draw solutions now.
Would you mind explaining how you fixed all of those things?? My dad seems to be dealing with almost every one of the issues you listed, but refuses to go to a doctor. Been hard watching him deteriorate this last year and a half. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Happy that you've managed to improve your health!
@@fh1597 I am assuming eating clean (organic produce, grass fed/finished meats, low carb, clean water, little to no sugar). Another great thing to use is milk thistle (again, organic), dandelion and also choline and NAC.
@@loopybla5001 Yeah I've been trying to read up on this stuff and the things you mentioned come up a lot. It's kinda frustrating with all the contradictory info- some videos about congestive heart failure say to treat it with plant based nutrition, others say no carbs... very confusing! Thank you for the response
@@Roses-Peonies sometimes it isn’t. NAFLD doesn’t always turn into NASH/Cirrhosis. It is still a good idea to get a fatty liver under control with diet and exercise. People never know if it will turn into Cirrhosis.
Wow, one of my closest friends just died of liver failure 5 days ago due to extreme alcoholism. I did everything I could to help him break the habit to no avail. At the end, he would go to CVS to buy paper towels and forget why he was even there, a complete shell of himself mentally. He didn't feel well and went to the hospital last week, he was dead within 4 days of being admitted.
@@InsaneNuYawka He was 49 years old and has been a full blown alcoholic since his early thirties. I've been around heroin and cocaine addicts and their addictions didn't seem nearly as intense as his alcohol addiction. He suffered from depression and drank his life away in order to cope with it. Around the clock drinking, even forgoing all sleep during the work week at times to booze all night, then immediately go to work on no sleep with the smell of alcohol seeping out of his skin pores. The smell was so toxic at times you couldn't go within 10 feet of him. I should have known once he became forgetful and confused all the time that it was the begining of the end. He died shortly after exhibiting mental symptoms ..
I was diagnosed with NAFLD and later NASH in early 2017... prior to that, I had mild jaundice and went thru bouts of severe itching, but it subsided. In late June, 2021, I started developing Ascites... I would say throughout all of 2021, the malaise, bruising, weakness, lack of strength and energy were present... but things advanced quickly throughout July and August. I was so sick, I ended up getting a transplant... I am happy to say I am 2-1/2 months past my transplant and doing very well... However, I would like it if you could do some videos on the subject of Wilson's Disease. As it turned out, while I was in the hospital, it was discovered that I had abnormally high copper levels. They tossed around the idea of the Wilson's Diaease, but were in a race against time to save my life so they never thoroughly pursued it until after my transplant. My transplant team from University of Michigan notified me about 3 weeks ago that indeed, the cause for my cirrhosis and liver failure was due to Wilson's Disease
@@firstandten5461 You can Google it and have a quick answer. Getting a response in the comment section of a TH-cam video could take awhile...sometimes never.
I read an article that stated that if the liver was struggling, urine can have a fruity musty smell. This has been my issue for awhile. I told the doctor and nothing more was said. I have been drinking alfalfa tea, detox baths and red light therapy recently just to get healthy again. Also stopped eating white sugar. Junk and fast foods. I am feeling better!
I worked with a Guy at Wholefoods who was 64yrs old and Always told us about his story with Liver Disease! His name was Bob! And the story went something like this....Bob was a Severe and heavy drinker for almost 2 Decades Until one day in has late 30s he went to ER with life threatening symptoms....He was Diagnosed with End Stage Liver Disease and was Given at the most 6 months to live...Bob quickly and abruptly looked and searched for ways to heal him self with natural remedies... Nothing worked! Bob quickly gave up the boose after the news and changed to a diet that saved and changed his life! He showed us this drink he would make every morning! It consisted of ALOT OF ORGANIC PRODUCE! Kale, Spinach, Blueberries, Seamoss, Cucumbers, Honeydew, Blackberries, Almonds, Sunflower seeds, Chia, and Probably a 100 other things! He also blended things whole! He included the fruits and vegetables skin and roots! He lived with no complications for over 2 Decades and is still doing well this very Day! If you have a debilitating habit that is destroying you physically and mentally now is the time to change! Its never to late! I hope Bob's Story has helped and given comfort to those who worry or is in a similar situation! God Bless! You've already won!
In other videos he says right, so I think he just had a off moment with his words, like we all do from time to time. Said “left” but meant “right”. His videos are valuable enough to me that I don’t mind the goof up. We’re all human.
I must be on the end stage. I have every symptom Dr. Berg mentioned. I have had cirrhosis and hepatitis B for 8 years now. I was doing great until I got Covid in February-March of 2022. In May, I tested positive for autoimmune disease. I also have neurological disorder(seizures, arachnoid cyst and a small mass on my brain) Which makes everything more difficult. I have multiple gall stones, my eyes are yellow and my skin is yellowish brown. I have blurry vision. I have ascites, edema in both legs, loss of muscle, loss of hair, burning itching feet. Red dots and dark red lumps. I look like I have 2 black eyes. My face lost its fat. I ended up with periodontal disease in 2017 and ended up getting on my teeth pulled and now my gums are almost gone. This disease has Completely brought me to my knees. I don't have a good team doctors. In my eyes I should have been admitted a long time ago. I was supposed to be put on the transplant list back in 2020, until Covid hit and pushed everything back. I've changed my entire diet, I'm taking vitamins and supplements and protein shakes. I can't chew hard vegetables or fruits, so I have to supplement. My primary felt my stomach and also said my liver was enlarged. And my spleen. I feel like they're not doing enough. I learned about nutrition information from you. Also back in 2014 my colon perforated. I had to wear a colostomy bag for 8 months and then they reserved it. But it left scar tissue. So much in fact that you can't see some of my organs. I feel completely hopeless.
How are you ? I'm having liver symptoms as well I'm 31, my primary did a poor job at telling me about my liver enzymes Until barely late last year. How's your appetite?
You need to get to a better Dr. A hepatologist. What state are you in? You definitely sound like you need a transplant ASAP. It's really hard to get on the list I know. I had to have every part of my body tested and I got lucky. I wish you the best and don't give up
I’ve been battling gout, and injuries received from my active duty time as a young man. Aside from my acupuncture, you’re the best source of information concerning health at its core. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge.
@@bhaveramesh2777 I quit eating red meat, shrimp, and whatever is high in “purines”? To include some vegetables, fruit, nuts and especially alcohol. I also drink hot tea at night with turmeric. I have a water purifier that makes alkaline water. I had to change my lifestyle.
Two of my sisters were diagnosed with non alcohol cirrhosis a month ago. One is very sick and fighting for her life. All my siblings are diabetic except me so there is definitely a link between diabetes and liver disease.
My mom died on Christmas from end stage liver disease she was only 60. Most horrific dying process. She fought from June-December 2021. I miss her so much. I’ll never drink and no one else should, at least not abusing it especially when you are younger.
I am so sorry to hear you went through this. It’s so awful watching a parent suffer. My daddy has liver cancer and I’m trying to figure out if we’re about to lose him. Would you be willing to describe to me some of the signs in those last days?
Dr. Berg - thanks for the video! As someone in this situation, could you please go further and explain what you would do under these circumstances? Appreciated!
Keto is the updated Atkins diet or protein diet. It’s pretty much eating only meats, cheese and fat. A few greens for carbs but really limit potatoes and rice other heavy carbs. The greatest thing about Keto: you won’t be hungry. You can eat about all the meat and cheese you want.
My son is in end stage and in intensive care right now. He has every one of the signs except one The man eats a lot! They had him in a medical coma for 2 1/2 days, woke him up today and removed the ventilator tubes the second he was fully awake he asked for food. This is his 4th trip to the hospital in 6 months He has a few good moments where he feels good and has a little energy but that wears off real quick then he’s down for days. I wish I could convince people who drink that this is what happens. I’m a recovered alcoholic, I haven’t had a drop in 20 years and I have signs of liver damage to this day
If you dont mind me asking, what kinds of herbs and juices and how many times a day? How long did it take him to reverse the condition? Thanks for your help and response
I had malaise and fatigue a year ago along with yellow urine and high ALT /AST with little higher bilirubin. Immediately stopped alcohol and never looked back. Now I'm 100% healthy, liver is amazing. Good luck all of u
I have a few of these. The confusion and disorientation has been happening for a few hours later in the day but i've just put it down to anxiety. Time to make a change
While I know that you are not ‘technically’ giving medical advice. Your videos are helping this poor old gal out. Been sick most of my life. Don’t remember the last time I went a day without pain. So while I didn’t want to hear what you had to say, I know that I needed to because I have all 10 and am trying to figure out what to do next. Being poor does not make good bedfellows for the infirm.
I honestly think the best thing you could do is to take this video down and redo it. With more on that list. Especially the bleeding complications, enlargement of the liver and possibly enlargement of the Spleen and Varices. And also to say that the liver is on the right side.
My Uncle who does not drink is having liver issues. I suspect it's the pain meds associated with other things. I'm thinking about doing a partial liver donation for him.
Liver disease can be caused by sugar too particularly - fructose. Get him off carbohydrates and fruits for a while, and do the usual fasting and carnivore/keto diet. It may help.
That is amazing! You are a special person. Meds are absolutely a contributor… for me it was heart meds. Trying to undo the damage now… Prayers to you and your uncle 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@No_Frills_Carnivore doctor Debbie. Lolololol In other videos the good doctor says to eat vegetables and fruit to heal the liver. The pharmaceuticals that advertise on tv cause as much liver problems as drinking does. Better think before you pop that pill. Keto diet is hard on the heart.
I have been diagnosed with end stage liver disease. I have some of the symptoms. I lost 40 pounds, and a lot of hair. I have some bruises that I don't know how I got. I never drank much or had hepatitis. I don't use drugs. But loved the carbs and sugar. I am trying to follow proper diet, intermittent fasting and enjoy everything.
I had a family member that died of a huge cancer tumor at 60, that covered a large portion of her liver. It had been forming probably for decades with not a lot of symptoms. She had 6 symptoms mostly confusion and bad memory, nausea, fatigue, bloat, horrible ascites at the last month of life. She ate a high carb processed food diet and regularly took tylenol (the liver killer) for decades and other meds for headaches and seizures that didn't work.
My father age 64 died on 03rd sept, he had swollen legs, fatigue, weakness and no appetite for a week.. his bilirubin went 14 on the day he died. He was going Anti tuberculosis treatment , that doctor didn't warned us I wish if he would have got a doctor like you, he would be living with us....
I was there. Weak, dizzy. I had to take a nap to get dressed for bed each night. If I ate, I bloated so bad, I looked and felt ten months pregnant. My diabetic socks were so tight, I had the fabric shaping my legs. I weighed a massive 73 pounds, and on multiple occasions simply fell asleep standing up. One occasion I woke up to paramedics arguing over if I were in labor because I had been crying before I fell asleep. My doctor swore it was anorexia, but was dead wrong in appending "nervosa". I had absolutely no fear of food or being fat. I was starving to death and expended tons of energy eating and blowing chow. Long story short, the hospital tried to kill me, I escaped, and then I slept. Hardly drank anything, didn't eat. But not eating was the right thing to do. After about three days, I slowly began drinking more coffee, eating more sugar free gelatine. I worked my way up to yogurt and greens, rutabaga and sugar free ketchup. I gorged on three bites of pea soup, and didn't throw up. I ate more licorice gelatine (I blended spoonfuls of ground licorice powder into gelatine, ginger, peppermint, stevia, black pepper, whatever sounded good). I drank more tea, more coffee. It was a long, slow process, but somewhere in there, rather early, I found Dr. Berg. I began implementing various vitamins, especially D and K, and an occasional duck or turkey egg. Liver failure can be reversed, but you have to be more determined than a Navy Seal. And, you have to trust God. He created you, he gave you a brain, and you don't have to be taught how to use it. If bread and pasta screw up your blood sugar and make you vomit, don't eat it. And don't let uneducated medical personnel treat hypoglycemia with dextrose and maltodextrine. That will only kill you faster than fasting for another hour. Thank you, sir, for this! I am so grateful that, when I needed it, there was available the information I needed condensed into portions I could digest. I gained a whopping thirty pounds over a year, then lost ten, and haven't budged since then. This is the first winter I've had to replace my clothes due to wear since I started more than five years ago with a "somewhat" fatty liver and more than double myself! Keto is good.
Doctor Berg I need your help, 2 weeks ago I was diagnosis in the ct scan and ultrasound show I have Hepatomegaly with moderate liver steatosis I'm bloating like 9 months pregnant I'm doing ketogenic diet for 8 years now I'm following you and dr Mercola for long time. I'm never drinking alcohol, never smoking. How this happens to me. I'm doing fasting also. I really appreciate you help Thank you from Australia Xxxx thank you for you wonderful service and helping people all around the world xxx❤❤❤
Your liver is on the right side of your body, but, when you have liver failure, edema occurs on the left lower extremely, and with heart failure, edema occurs on the right lower extremity.
I think you meant the right side? Where your liver is. Your knowledge helps me a lot. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis, which erupted suddenly. I use TUDCA (bile salts with milkthistle and artisjok), NAC, DIM, (for balancing estrogen and testosteron), resveratrol and Potassium powder, wheatgrass/greens/probiotic powder and vitamins. This makes a lot of difference. Stopped the prescribed diuretics which helped to differentiate between the cirrosis itself and the complications of those pills. Complications that made the situation worse. The only thing left is that I can't sleep at night, fall asleep in the early morning and have around 5 hours of sleep. This is since february.
@Cookie Monster Alcohol use caused it. Not even that much of a drinker, but as a kid of 1,5 I had a liver infection and during my teens had gallbladder problems. Maybe that has to do something with it too. The hormonal problems are also due to the liver not being able to process estrogen so the testosterone is lacking. The DIM (Indole-3-Carbinol) helpes to alleviate the problem. Did not use other drugs than weed 😄
@@Philomaan how are you now frank ? I'm having liver problems. Elevated liver enzymes bilirubin 1.4 highest was 2.3, Low appetite, weight loss, also got sick with covid19 same time I believe. I think I abused to much acetaminophen growing .. in my early to late 20s
@@myyoutubechannel3161 I am alright now. Control visit a specialist every 6 months. Blood is ok. I added vitmain D and krill oil for strengthening the bloodvessels.
There's one mistake I noticed in this video. It's stated that edema occurs mostly on the left side because the liver is on the left side. However the liver is on the RIGHT side, not the left. Therefore the buildup of edema is also on the right side. I have cirrhosis and find this to be very true. Another thing that can help with the ascites caused by cirrhosis is acupuncture. I just finished a 12 week acupuncture treatment plan and it's been helping me go longer without having to have paracentesis. I had gotten to the point where I had been struggling to go even three weeks without paracentesis. My belly would immediately start filling up after getting it tapped, I would be hurting pretty bad by two weeks, and if I tried waiting until three weeks I would be crying from the pain. I started having the acupuncture treatments and was able to go 6.5 weeks before getting tapped again and then 7.5 weeks the time after that. I actually could have gone longer than 7.5 weeks but I also have a kidney tube and it got clogged up. So it had to be changed. They went ahead and tapped my belly while I was there. Due to a backlog of patients they only allow 12 treatments, so I'm going to be finding out for sure over the coming weeks just how much the acupuncture helped or didn't help in delaying the paracentesis. Since I won't be receiving any more acupuncture treatments I'll see how long I can go without them before needing my belly drained again. I really do think though that it's been mostly the acupuncture that's kept me from having to get drained so often.
I'm 24 and have liver disease. I drank from age 8 to 23 when I lost over 100 pounds and got sick. My meld score isn't at a transplant level but I have most of these symptoms everyday.
There are so many people drinking alcohol with no regards for its effects. People drinking themselves to sleep at night over and over again it’s very sad
Funny story. When my oldest son was born 45 years ago, they thought he had jaundice because his skin was so yellow. Not his eyes. Sixth months later he was still yellow because both my husband's and my family have golden-based skin. In fact, my mother's skin was always bright golden under artificial light. I didn't notice it until we attended my niece's wedding; under the lights in the reception hall, my mother's skin and mine looked bright yellow, but nobody else's. Neither one of us has had jaundice. Both of my sons have golden tone skin with actual peach-color cheeks.
My dad died last week after colon cancer had spread to his liver and he had to stop treating because chemo had done so much damage. He had alllll of these symptoms. So sad to see my strong dad succumb to cancer. His dream had been to beat it and ring the bell at the cancer center 😢
This breaks my heart! I am so very sorry for your loss. My dad has stage four prostate cancer that has spread to his liver. He had a CT scan today and there has been progression of the liver metastasis. My family is crushed. Today is my mom's birthday and this is not the news we were hoping for. He is currently on chemo but it is obviously not working.
I started to say my liver is on the right, then seen you had responded to someone else saying you made a mistake, when you are terminal you know exactly where it hurts
Yeah, I have felt like I’m having problems with my liver but you just said something that I was questioning for a while, I started getting ankles that are swelling, went to the doctor and they just said for me to lower my cholesterol and that was it. I noticed that both ankles are swelling but my left one is worse. I have to make a change, I can’t continue like this.
Hi Daisy, My best friend just found out she has cirrhosis, she is 52 and she hasn’t been physically or emotionally well in about 5 years. Her quality of life is not what most would consider good. I see it’s been 3 months since you posted your comment. Did you change your diet or make any changes that have had a positive impact to give you pain relief or hope? I feel like my friend thinks it is too much work to prepare healthy meals and she gets overwhelmed and exhausted and doesn’t have a lot to motivate her to muster up the strength to do what it will take to get well. I’m hopeful that you have been able to make some changes and find relief from pain. Please let me know if there’s something I can do to help encourage my friend, if there was something someone did for you, that may have helped to encourage you or give you something to look forward to.
Very good video, I was close to a person who went through exactly these symptoms and couldn't stand it, no one figure out until it's was too later, anyways you didn't talk about the second part of the board, with the liver solutions
10 years ago I was diagnosed with liver disease, but all of my blood tests have been normal since then. I recently went to ED for stomach pain in my right side, doctor said I have a fatty liver.... not sure where to turn because anytime I go to the doctor and tell them I'm having stomach pain nothing happens. It seems this might be because I don't have insurance. Idk.... I've been watching your channel and trying to take your advice. Thank you.
I hope you got to see a good doctor. Preferably a hepatologist. Or at least a gastro intestinal Dr. There are hospitals and clinics that will help you even if you don't have insurance
I did see a hepatoligist, he was the last doctor I saw about 6 months ago. He did a MRI also ran a scope down my throat and more blood test, and he said it's a fatty liver. I'm hopeful that all is good and the pain is from fatty liver disease. The pain comes and goes, I've been trying to eat better and it seems to go away the better I eat, but I always have that scared thought in the back of my head.
Hello Dr. Berg and thank you for another video. You talk about the dangers of low grade inflamation. I have a question, I had an ACL surgery many years ago and they used screws for my surgery. I just want to know is this the kind of inflamation that I should worry about and what can someone with surgery do Thank you
i use to have about half of those symptoms I wasn't a sweet's eater nor a "drinker" I just had a really poor way of eating Wonderful people like Dr Berg has taught me a better way and how to recognize my symptoms even I am 61 and i feel better and am healthier than i have ever been in my whole life Thank you Dr Berg much graditude
As usual this is an excellent video that presents the information clearly and without confusion. After reading some of the comments below about undiagnosed cases that ended in death my question is this: Why is it so hard for doctors to recognize this situation? Further: How do you get a doctor to take this seriously?
Because most of the doctors doesn’t have the knowledge to cure or recognize deseases in the early stages. The mayor part of their careers is focused on medication and medications contribute to damage your liver like the antibiotics.
I was severely itching way before I was diagnosed with liver disease. I went to my dermatologist. Instead of taking me seriously he made fun of my condition. He should have told me to see my primary dr. If I would suggest anything it would be that when dr.s do not know the answer to a condition they recommend the patient to have further examination. I find some dr.s are more interested in their egos. Also I turned from yellow to orange over my body when the disease advanced. I have had a liver transplant.
My dad was given 3 to 6 months to live with end stage liver disease...prayer and the rosary and the doctors can't figure out how he is still alive and thriving
@@jaylove7ful I'm so sorry! First and most importantly is prayer and rosary to our dear mother in heaven..next I gave him a diet of salads.. blueberries with organic yogurt..grape juice..salmon..chicken..eggs..and other healthy things...stay away from wheat and sugar..read labels..high fructose corn syrup is the enemy..I will pray for your mom in my rosary..what is her name?
@@inhonorofmary6825 really? So goood to hear this kindly guide me as my grandmother also facing end stage liver cancer dr says no treatment will work kindly tell me what treatments u do plus what to eat?
I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and I do not drink or take drugs.. I have a blood test to check my liver function at the end of march, I'm not old as I'm 35 at mo.
Hi Dr, thank you so much for all your great videos!! Such a caring and companionate person!! Question? What are there some things you can do for end stage liver? Thank you!!
Avoid grains and sugars... Take milk thistle if your not allergic to ragweeds which helps to detox the liver and regrow liver cells... Eat artichoke hearts like crazy which helps to detox the liver and regrow liver cells... Do keto and intermittent fasting... Use olive oil more often in your salads that are made of cruciferous vegetables... Drink lemon juice in water first thing in the morning and whenever you can throughout the day... Eat more butter and coconut oils for their medium chain triglycerides that don't tax the liver so much but help give you energy and to produce more bile which helps to detox the liver... Drink warm drinks that will warm up the gut and bring more bloodflow into the liver... Take taurine which helps to fight a fatty liver...
First step is cutting off all forms of sugar and alcohol from your diet, reduce carbs, especially refined ones, to a minimum Secondly, avoid processed foods Thirdly, eat lots of fatty fish (like salmon and sardines) and organ meats (especially liver), also don't be afraid of eggs, as all of these are some of the most nutrient dense foods out there, and your liver may be lacking, especially when it comes to B complex vitamins, and enjoy these along with leafy greens (like spinach) and cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and brussel sprouts), raw salads are also good for you, as these will provide a bunch of essencial vitamins/ minerals and help your liver heal and detox faster and more efficiently Fourtly, do intermittent fasting (if your liver is in a REALLY bad shape, you shouldn't do prolonged fasting, but if it's just a little fatty, it's okay) Lastly, drinking a glass of water with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a couple of tablespoons of apple cider viner (organic, not the cheap one) before your first meal, as well as taking serrapeptase (on an emply stomach as soon as you wake up) and milk thistle as supplements may help as well P.S.: exercise daily, doesn't have to be anything in particular, but at least make it a priority to walk outside 30 minutes everyday
I don't think that's actually accurate! "Liver Spots" actually has no correlation with liver disease. Most liver spots are small and occurs as reaction from growing age and the uv rays from the Sun ...Its very uncommon that this would be a sign of disease or cancer. If you have spots that are larger than a pencil eraser in diameter then you could speak to your GP about potential skin cancers. But realistically if it's larger in diameter then you more than likely have a low platelet count which would cause bruising and bleeding under the skin! God Bless!
I'm at the end stage too when I was younger I took too many pills ( Percocet).. I wish I could take it back.. I was taken to thirty to forty a day.. From 18 to 25 years old.. I drank alcohol too.. That's not worth.I didn't know what I was doing to my body. and now im paying the price
I think you would have to be very careful about any idea of loss of appetite being the body's call to fast. One of the accelerators of ESLD is Protein Calorie Malnutrition (PCM).
I hate the term “end stage”. I have Cirrhosis due to Lean NASH (which means Fatty liver for no known reason) and the only ones I have from that list is fatigue, bloating and bruising. I think along with the bruising you should have added “bleeding disorder”. Also as for the loss of appetite I have that to an extent but I also have days where I feel like I am starving but after a few bites I am full. Also my loss of appetite isn’t so much that my appetite is gone, it is that I get full easily. You also didn’t even mention varices, that is more common of a complication from Cirrhosis than HE is. And what about Spider angiomas? That is a rash that people can see and might make them go to the doctor to see if there is a problem. But they need to know about it possibly being connected to Liver problems. Spider angiomas doesn’t itch or anything, it is just there. I love most of your videos but this one was just lacking in information.
its reversible if you wanna know how tell me :) but the cloting factors problem plus portal vein hypertension is what need to be fixed control as much as possible while detox and heall the body and liver and lympatic system
Wow Dr Berg I had all these in my thirty’s. I’ve been doing ketofor a year! Had problem when there was a death in the family. staying on my intermittent fasting! But still keto! And I will tell u that I am no longer yellow! My eyes are better! I’m not as sickly. Right now I can walk up to 4 miles and do at least 1-2 miles a day! I still have a Protruding belly! There are times it goes way down! Then it will puff up again then go down! Not sure but I think that’s a good sign of healing sence it was really big. Today it’s big! Because I had to eat out all week while we where on the road. I still have the Edema in my legged but that is changing too! I know I have been in bad shape for a long time! I did do fasting juicing, eating raw, I think it did bring me back! But I still felt sickly never able to get to a better state! So many factors! You have helped me throw them all! But I can not understand why I was so bad off! I just have to say it was the food in the grocery stores! I was raised on a farm. We always had a garden! So I know now what a difference makes with food! And fasting! I thought it would be easy traveling. Eat once a day! My husband likes to eat out! But I found I have to go to the grocery stores to eat on the go! Organic salads, and do the best I can to find some place that will have a nice piece of meat where ever we are! I bring my salad dressing! And vinegar and olive oil! And boiled pasted raised eggsI and nuts! I have a hard time finding organic cheese! Any where! So I look on line! Also I eat very little cheeses! Mostly will eat grass feed butters and cream! Like my cream with my raw coco! Thank u Dr berg for all you do!!!!
Oh, I did make a mistake - I said liver is on the left side. This is false, it's on the right side and ankle/leg and edema is also on the right side more than the left.
Much respect to you Doctor ❤️
When we are looking at someone their liver is on the left.
Should add a correction (in writing) 9n the video. I love you 😍
It's funny, Dr John Campbell also made this slip. Probably because docs are envisaging the facing patient, rather than looking down at their own trunk.
@@masterkey6596 that’s a great idea.
I quit drinking months ago. I was a heavy drinker for many decades. But I had a lot of these symptoms so I quit. 3 months later and I feel so much healthier. The itching gone, the bloated belly gone, the fatigue and malaise gone. I'm absolutely positive I was heading towards liver failure if I continued that lifestyle. BTW I am a 49 year old man and I will not pick up a drink again!
What symptoms did you have?
Good for you! You saved yourself
That's good to know, I'm 46 and have been drinking for many years too. I have none of these problems so it's good to know I can keep drinking and not worry about it
I havent drank for 20 yrs maybe and I did most of my partying in my teens up til 19 than had kids didn't do anything for longest time at least 15 years then 30's bout 5 yrs heavy partying again apparently I have cirrhosis but ultrasound sound and other methods said light scarring ....then and no doctor has figured it out dermatology useless I started getting sores some like diabetic ulcers....right arm atm and left leg atm...I cant figure it out....I have no pains in stomach?Gastronologist sucks....doesnt say anything but huh?
@@scotcharron1679 An ultrasound is useful but can't be used on its own to diagnose cirrhosis. For that they have to look at the overall clinical picture. Plus the ultrasound only images surfaces. Have you had an elevated liver fibrosis test yet? None of this is meant as medical advice of course, I am not medically trained but then I think neither is Dr Berg, well at least not in science anyway.
I was diagnosed with end stage (decompensated) 3 years ago. It's said that this stage is not reversible. BUT I was actually able to reverse it with herbs & diet change (& of course no more alcohol). I am not on any meds, and they had to re-diagnose me as "compensated" about 2yrs ago.
Don't accept every diagnosis, & don't lose hope just because the physicians tell you something can't be done. I'm living proof that sometimes they're wrong. 💜✨.
Happy you were able to heal yourself :)
You have no idea how happy seeing your comment has made me! 💜 My father, who I was unaware was sick seems to be in end stages (hasn’t been officially diagnosed as he’s just come to me from another state and we haven’t made it to all of the doctors yet). I’ve been researching how to heal him and I was looking for a story like yours.
May I ask- did you lose a lot of weight without trying? He’s extremely thin and frail and I’m trying to find the balance of fasting and getting him the calories he needs.
Hi what herbs did you take
That is awesome ❤
@@vivian051718 was wondering the same thing.
My husband had all those symptoms. We spent years at doctors offices and hospitals. No one would help him because he wasn't (sick enough). Then he was to sick for a liver transplant. He died at the age of 60. I feel that the medical professionals let him down.
So sorry. I know your frustration from my own experience and have come to believe that medics tend to ignore or write off what they can't understand or fix.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad had this in August. He had been sober 10 years and out of nowhere was diagnosed with liver cancer end stage. I feel the medical professionals let us down and didn’t take his diagnosis seriously. They assumed it was because he used to be an alcoholic and I feel they let him die.
@@SicilysCloset So sorry about your dad. God bless you.
I'm. So sorry about your husband...my wife has stage 4 liver failure and it's the hardest thing I have ever felt with...may God ease your pain
@@billg4630 Thank you. I pray for you also. It is very painful to watch a loved one die. It is truly one of the hardest experiences to ever face. My husband went from 305 pounds to 185 pounds in less than 2 months.
I had liver disease from an autoimmune disorder called PBC. I had all those symptoms. One of the worst was the severe itching. My arms would be bleeding every day. Nothing would stop it. I got to the end stage. I was told I had only days left if that. I was bright gold. The toxins had gotten to my brain and I was not able to speak clearly or understand things. I couldn't walk without help. I just wanted it to be over and I prayed for God to take me home. I don't know how many days after that my 2 kids got a call that they had a donor liver that was a match.I remember the car ride there and thinking it was the last time I would be seeing anything so I looked for flowers and trees and anything that was beautiful. When we got to the hospital they started prepping me for surgery and did pre op blood work. They came back and said that I couldn't get the transplant because my blood work was unstable in something. I think potassium. I told the kid to take me home because I didn't want to die in the hospital. They all convinced me to stay in the hospital to stabilize me in case they found another match. A couple days later some poor guy in Georgia got into an accident (I am in Florida) . He was a better match. The original match for me had COVID, which would have been hard to overcome in my condition. They took a helicopter and picked up the guy and brought him to me and did the surgery. I made it through. It's been 10 months now. I take anti rejection meds every day. It's not easy but I worked hard with a physical therapist and I can walk my dog and do small chores in the house now. The meds come with a lot of side effects and they are still working to regulate my dose so it's not so hard on my kidneys and I get severe migraines from the meds. But every time I get to feeling down, I remember how I was before the surgery and how that young man saved my life. It was a true miracle. I'm now trying to offer hope and support to other transplant recipients and people suffering from liver disease
Bless u
Blessings to you your strong family and health ❤️ 🙏
I am hoping you have become even stronger now! ❤ 🙏
I had the pregnant look and most of my clothes were too big - just to accommodate by belly! I found a Dr Berg video that stated "you cannot lose weight while you have a fatty liver". The penny dropped and I stopped trying to lose weight and instead, focused on healing my liver.
It took ten months of keto and I.F. 19:5 to fix everything and lo-behold, 103 pounds disappeared from my body. I'm staying keto forever, because it is NOT a diet, but it is the correct human way of eating.
Thanks for the success story.. it helps a lot
You don't eat carbs at all?
@@sayss4611 I do consume low carbs, but I don't even count anymore. I think I'm below 20g per day, but I'm definitely below 30g. Bearing in mind, I still consume some carbs, with vegetables and nutritional supplements -- like coconut and almond flours - plus nutritional yeast and ground flax.

This is a very good list of facts about end stage liver disease. I’m a nurse and I have witnessed all of these symptoms in my patients that are especially alcoholics. Also they bleed easily due to poor clotting factors because nutrients are not absorbed if the poor liver have to constantly clear the alcohol .Thank you Dr. Berg for the information and educational videos you post!!
The doc is so glad you agree.
He never mentioned "inflammation or enlarged" liver as a sign of liver problems
@@slamfreepoetry1845 he didn’t mention a lot of things that should have been on that list.
@@slamfreepoetry1845 Search Dr Berg TH-cam content for other information. There's a plethora of health gold in his vlogs.
@@slamfreepoetry1845 In this video Dr. Berg listed and explained the BASIC symptoms, the most important ones to remember. And at the final stage the liver might get diminished, specially when there's cirrhosis.
My father suffered most of those symptoms due to his bad liver condition. He also suffered from cardiac problems. At the end he died due to renal failure (as stated in his death certificate). People must stop drinking alcohol and/or high fructose corn syrup consumption to avoid liver problems. It is an emotional trauma to see a person that you love suffering from those conditions.

My dad died 3 weeks ago due to live failure caused by being an alcoholic 😢
My father died now on the 24th of October. He went for a liver biopsy and had internal bleeding and died after the test. He had few platelets, had ascites and suspected liver cancer from cirrhosis of the liver. My family and I were not warned of the risk of the exam. The saddest thing is that my father walked to the hospital for the exam and left in a coffin.

Hi Dr. Berg. I am from Malaysia and a nutritionist myself but you put me to shame. I am amazed at the amount of knowledge you have and the way you are helping all of us. You are practically saving so many lives. I don’t think I can thank you enough for the way you are educating us and making us healthy.

Quiting drinking was the best thing I ever did for my health- physical and mental 👍
7 weeks & counting ,taking DrBurgs knowledge & applying it to every day to reverse the damage I’ve done over the years…I can turn it around & when I have a urge I watch him teach & learn me why I don’t, inspirational & caring is his Motto .. stay strong friends
@@scottallen7195 That's so brilliant to hear and so true. I am 16 yrs sober now, I wish I had known back then. I hope you're doing well. The liver is an incredible organ.
2 summers ago I was diagnosed with a severe fatty liver with fibrosis due to too many carbs, but also Hemochromatosis. Iron was damaging my liver. I was itchy as all heck all the time, but I also experienced severe night sweats & leg cramping - especially in my left hamstring. I have since had my Hemochromatosis treated with Phlebotomy Treatments, & gone KETO. I’ve lost 150lbs. My night sweats, itchiness & leg cramps are gone.
What do you eat? Is your liver healthy again?
@@stephenienoel106 I eat Healthy Keto. I’ll start by telling you what I do not eat: I don’t eat bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, anything made with wheat flour, no corn products. I typically start my day with a Bulletproof Green Tea Macha w/coconut oil, heavy cream, & stevia. Then I only eat a late lunch/dinner consisting of either beef, chicken, pork, or fish - typically salmon or tuna. I’ll also eat a side consisting of one of these vegetables: pickles, kimchi, sauerkraut, broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, asparagus, green beans, or cauliflower. That’s about it.
keep going, it will take a while to heal. When going on Keto or Carnovore, you instantly start to feel much better. 3 years of keto will heal the liver completely
@@fearless6947 I’ve gone from a Severe Fatty Liver to a Mildly Fatty Liver on my last ultrasound from about 1 year ago. I’m due for another ultrasound, so I’ll see where I’m at. I do know one thing - I had the flu 2.5 weeks ago and I needed antibiotics & my liver did not like that at all. I ended up being fatigued. I’ve been taking Milk Thistle and Choline supplements to combat my liver issues (Fibrosis & Fatty Liver), and I think it has made a big difference, but I’m still not 100% yet.

My brother died from liver disease a year ago, yesterday. He was 55 and had not seen a doctor/dentist since high school. He was hiding the symptoms and by the time my family noticed and tried to help, it was too late. I Iive in another State, so I couldn't see his decline, but suspected he was ill because he complained about his back bothering him and I could hear his shortness of breath a few days before he died. Afterwards, I chatted with so many men, who admitted they don't get regular physicals, blood work, dental care, etc. How many men would still be alive had the just gotten a physical.
I am 66 and I'm not a drinker so I never suspected it but I went for a physical because I wanted to buy some life insurance and they caught it and of course turned me down
Keep supporting these politicians who won't let everyone have free healthcare if they want and the bodies pile up. I can't even remember the last time I saw a dentist, I'm not paying for that!
no offence but they often blame women for not nagging them and we don't wanna nag them, men are adults and can go themselves like a big boy. How many men would still be alive if they manned up and just do the adult stuff unbidden?
The Bible says that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made", and that's awesome!!!!
Thanks be to God that He created the body with the ability to regenerate itself!!!
I LOVE YOU, LORD!!!! 😊👍😃
I need to read this thanks.
God also created cancer too.
I love Jesus❤️
Amen to that!
Jesus a false god .a story a mith no proof..no fact nothing just a man
Fatigue is literally a Symptom of everything
Because your body houses many things in the cells like energy factories if something is wrong the body starts regulating energy to other functions for defense. Therefore we feel fatigued. It's the body telling you something is not right.
I have been fatigue from 2009 to 2012. Then it was on and off till 2020 then it became more frequent n I have be on supplement to get energy. N even now m very weak 2022 sept. Doctors are only diagnosing anxiety. M telling them something is wrong in my body but they don't even want to listen to me. M struggling so much I have a lump type mass on my upper right abdomen which is the liver area n I also get the stabbing pain or sometimes it pushes me. Doctors is India r only telling anxiety n it's not. Pls help
@@nuszalo2070 change another doctor
Wrong!! Fatigue is a symptom of a sick liver. Disease are just symptoms with fancy names. They all are rooted in your liver hence the name!!
I wanted to point out that "severe itching" and "yellowing," also known as jaundice, can be caused by gallstone(s) blocking the common bile duct. When that happens, bile from the liver and gallbladder begins backing up in the system and the blood vessels. It can show up in a blood test as high iron and bilirubin. It does not necessarily mean a person has a dying liver, but the gallstone blocking the bile duct needs to be removed.
Yes, but issues with bile salts leads to gallstones. Issues with the liver trickle down to the gallbladder. The gallbladder may catch the blame, but where there is a gallbladder problem, there is most certainly a liver problem.
Perhaps. The point of the post was to say that it does not necessarily mean a person has a dying liver.
Also called as obstructive jaundice, a stent can be placed in certain cases
Thank you for doing this, awareness & education is so vital. My mom died of liver failure 11 years ago, she was the 5th of 10 kids of same complications, they were not alcoholics, abusing substances & took care as best as best as they could as given the situations growing up(very poor & worked on farms & why I think most were sick or now on other side). Environment for home & farming are so important for our living & sustainability especially in the indigenous communities were this rate is high & stereotype do not help.
condolences and sorry for your loss
Wow! I thought of kids who grew up on farms as healthy because they have diverse gut flora, with being exposed to dirt all the time. They also sleep in accordance with the rhythms
of nature and work physically, which is much better than excessive sitting. Eye-opening. Maybe they were exposed to a lot of sprays for the crops.
Sorry for your loss
This is the first video where you don’t offer any hope or suggestions for people to get better. We never know when a person has reached the “it’s too late” day.
1) Fast from all food
2) Drinking 1 lemon in water up to 6 times per day helps neutralizes the ammonia, stimulate bile production & make the person more alkaline.
3) Freshly prepared carrot & beet & greens juice 4x/day.
4) Large charcoal poultices over the abdomen changed every 4-6 hrs will pull fluid through the skin and relieve the pressure and toxic load.
5) Complete change in lifestyle if the person responds and gets well.
6) For all those with a non-alcoholic fatty liver: remove ALL processed refined carbohydrates. Eat real food only. Utilize the above suggestions on a modified basis. (ie. Start each morning with a lemon squeezed into 12-16 oz of water. Wait 30 min and drink a freshly prepared vegetable only juice. Can repeat in the evening. Rinse & Repeat each day.)
Thank you Barbara for the rundown.
Would you be so kind as to elaborate on #3, please? Thank you
Thank you Barbara.. really great advice x
I am a recent breast cancer patient with metastasis to the liver.
Love these videos and I so appreciate any information you pass along!
Thank you Dr Berg!
Good luck to you

Get some coaching from Dr Berg or binge what all his videos. Carnovore and intermediate fasting will help too. Drink some bone broth. Hope it goes well with you, best wishes🙏

@@fearless6947 Thank you🥰
It's so weird I've been having problems with discomfort around my liver and Dr Berg comes out with this video!!!
I developed a varicele and found out I had cirrhosis of the liver. I didn't drink hard alcohol but I had went on a drinking binge for about 4 yrs because my brother had died from drug abuse. I just tried to numb my pain 💔 and it took its toll. I began seeing a Transplant dr but he told me I would have to be dieing to get a Transplant and said liver doesn't always take and if it fails I would die in the hospital. I quit drinking cold turkey when I found out. Has been 5yrs but I have been diagnosed with lymphedema and on lactulose for ammonia on the brain. I have next to no white blood cells. We all deal with pain differently and I didn't think I could get sick so fast. I have memory loss plus swollen and jaundice. I am at peace with my maker. I hope by sharing this I can make a difference for anyone . Keep yourself busy with work or just go for a walk. It isn't worth it. God Bless everyone who reads this 🙏.
I hope your ok🙏❤
Oh lord I will pray for you
Hello Dr. Berg I came across your channel about 3 month's ago I am a sixty year old male with type 2 not very active also i had an arterial flutter so my activity was low due to fear of heart health i was at 290 lbs at 6 feet tall to the point i followed your advice eating OMAD about 1500 cals low carb (leafy greens only) moderate protein and fats (olive oil) and also ACV I must say you changed my life (Thank You!) i now lost 35 lbs not hungry But the best part is the energy level sky rocketed this snapped me into a new me again Thank You your channel changed my life........
Congratulations, Bill! What a wonderful success! Sharing your success story to Dr. Berg's website will be highly appreciated!

Friendship isn’t about who you’ve known the longest. It’s about who walked into your life, said, “I’m here for you”, and proved it.
Yes Indeed all of these are fact my mom passed away from liver disease I wish I had known some of these factors back then it would have been very helpful thank u so much love your videos
I have a the leg edema still it’s getting way better tho. However I been fasting in between meals that helped A LOT I HAD A LOT OF FAT IN MY LOWER STOMACH it felt like a Little hump but it’s mostly gone. I use Apple cider vinegar the one that say with the mother. I add only lemon and that’s it. I drink it before bed
I stop eating at 8pm
First meal is at between 11am to 12pm next meal is dinner about 7:00pm to 8:00pm
So from 8pm to 11:00am I don’t eat that’s 15 hours then I do a small fat from 12pm to 7 pm that’s 7 hours. It work I’m able to keep food down I’m starting this fat burning workout 🏋️♀️ I’m do 15 minutes for the first 4 weeks then I’m push it to 20 minutes
Wow your inspirational! For me the apple cider and lemon been a god send I didn't know how much I needed it I was doing it before starting intermittent fasting and healthy keto. My issue dr Berg said we should drink 16oz with basically 2 tble and AVC and lemon, it's to acidic on my teeth but I been using a cap full.of AVC with a table of lemon in a small cup of warm water. Is that enough ? How much you take acv and lemon ?
My brother was diagnosed with fatty liver a year ago. We consulted doctors. They said not an issue it's normal. Now a year later he was diagnosed with mild fibrosis. With a fibroscan score of 7.42 he was diagnosed with his first scar. But again doctors are saying it's normal. My trust in medical system is shaken!!
Fatty liver can be reversed before it turned to cirrhosis or liver cancer
Low carb diet and avoid HFCS are methods. Take MCT oil can help too
BTW, he should fire his doctor
That doctor need to get their license taken away.
@1702deepak how is your brother doing? I understand how you feel. A family member is having GI problems 😒
USA medical system a failure
@@kerrybutler5172fatty liver is normal and in most obese people. The doctor wasn’t lying when he says it’s normal. If you are fat, you have fatty liver.
You are a valuable commodity and a wonder in this modern age! Thank You!
My liver is on the right side but everything else is spot on. All my swelling is on the right as well. I was finally able to address my liver problems after I was diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure. Seems the liver also starts dumping thymine instead of sending it to the body. AND Wham! you develop wet baribari (aka CHF). I've fixed my blood, veins, edema, ascites, kidneys, heart, lungs, nerves, bones, but my liver is a challenge still. As I heal I'm learning that my liver causes pain and fatigue with every poison that slips into my food. Funny thing, as a kid I worked in commercial gardening around high doses of glyposate, 2-4 D, and many other toxic gardening products daily for a few years. I now attempt to find clean and nutrient dense food but even organic food lacks nutritional density unless the farmer knows a mineral guy. In nature minerals are unevenly distributed if over farming hasn't depleted the soil as well. Then we fertilize with 13 minerals the plant uses instead of the 77 we use. Then we poison our food. For example additional manganese is needed to overcome glyposate as glyposate binds to manganese rendering it inert in living systems. You can't breath without manganese. Then we get to the bottom of it all poverty. Poisoned as a kid fighting fatigue and paying doctors that just wasted my time made life more challenging.
I appreciate doctors like Dr. Berg as they are far superior to the 23 years of doctors that nursed me down the garden path while I could still work. Dr. Berg is one of nine doctors I meld to draw solutions now.
Would you mind explaining how you fixed all of those things?? My dad seems to be dealing with almost every one of the issues you listed, but refuses to go to a doctor. Been hard watching him deteriorate this last year and a half. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Happy that you've managed to improve your health!
@@fh1597 I am assuming eating clean (organic produce, grass fed/finished meats, low carb, clean water, little to no sugar). Another great thing to use is milk thistle (again, organic), dandelion and also choline and NAC.
@@loopybla5001 NAC is precursor to glutathione and can cause stomach upset, so would using glutathione instead of NAC work?
@@loopybla5001 Yeah I've been trying to read up on this stuff and the things you mentioned come up a lot. It's kinda frustrating with all the contradictory info- some videos about congestive heart failure say to treat it with plant based nutrition, others say no carbs... very confusing! Thank you for the response
That’s my first thought. Like hold on. I thought liver was right side. 😂
A lot of people have fatty liver. They don’t take it seriously 😒
Because most don’t even know they have it
And Dr's tell you not to worry about it!
It is called the silent killer for a reason. Most people don’t even know they have it until it is too late
A doctor told my husband that fatty liver is nothing to worry about. 😟😒
@@Roses-Peonies sometimes it isn’t. NAFLD doesn’t always turn into NASH/Cirrhosis. It is still a good idea to get a fatty liver under control with diet and exercise. People never know if it will turn into Cirrhosis.
Wow, one of my closest friends just died of liver failure 5 days ago due to extreme alcoholism. I did everything I could to help him break the habit to no avail. At the end, he would go to CVS to buy paper towels and forget why he was even there, a complete shell of himself mentally. He didn't feel well and went to the hospital last week, he was dead within 4 days of being admitted.
I’m so sorry for your loss…How old was your friend and how long did he drink in extreme quantities ?
Very sorry for your loss.
@@InsaneNuYawka He was 49 years old and has been a full blown alcoholic since his early thirties. I've been around heroin and cocaine addicts and their addictions didn't seem nearly as intense as his alcohol addiction. He suffered from depression and drank his life away in order to cope with it. Around the clock drinking, even forgoing all sleep during the work week at times to booze all night, then immediately go to work on no sleep with the smell of alcohol seeping out of his skin pores. The smell was so toxic at times you couldn't go within 10 feet of him. I should have known once he became forgetful and confused all the time that it was the begining of the end. He died shortly after exhibiting mental symptoms ..

@@shawna7813 I'm so sorry for your loss. Emotional pain is devastating. May Jesus heal you both.
I appreciate this comprehensive list as I have a close family member suffering from liver disease showing many of these symptoms....sadly.
I was diagnosed with NAFLD and later NASH in early 2017... prior to that, I had mild jaundice and went thru bouts of severe itching, but it subsided. In late June, 2021, I started developing Ascites... I would say throughout all of 2021, the malaise, bruising, weakness, lack of strength and energy were present... but things advanced quickly throughout July and August. I was so sick, I ended up getting a transplant... I am happy to say I am 2-1/2 months past my transplant and doing very well...
However, I would like it if you could do some videos on the subject of Wilson's Disease. As it turned out, while I was in the hospital, it was discovered that I had abnormally high copper levels. They tossed around the idea of the Wilson's Diaease, but were in a race against time to save my life so they never thoroughly pursued it until after my transplant. My transplant team from University of Michigan notified me about 3 weeks ago that indeed, the cause for my cirrhosis and liver failure was due to Wilson's Disease
did you live in the keweenaw?
Grand Rapids
What is Wilson's disease?
I currently have itchy skin everyday. And I believe it's my liver. If its Wilson's disease, what should I do?
@@firstandten5461
You can Google it and have a quick answer.
Getting a response in the comment section of a TH-cam video could take awhile...sometimes never.
I read an article that stated that if the liver was struggling, urine can have a fruity musty smell. This has been my issue for awhile. I told the doctor and nothing more was said. I have been drinking alfalfa tea, detox baths and red light therapy recently just to get healthy again. Also stopped eating white sugar. Junk and fast foods. I am feeling better!
I worked with a Guy at Wholefoods who was 64yrs old and Always told us about his story with Liver Disease! His name was Bob! And the story went something like this....Bob was a Severe and heavy drinker for almost 2 Decades Until one day in has late 30s he went to ER with life threatening symptoms....He was Diagnosed with End Stage Liver Disease and was Given at the most 6 months to live...Bob quickly and abruptly looked and searched for ways to heal him self with natural remedies... Nothing worked! Bob quickly gave up the boose after the news and changed to a diet that saved and changed his life! He showed us this drink he would make every morning! It consisted of ALOT OF ORGANIC PRODUCE! Kale, Spinach, Blueberries, Seamoss, Cucumbers, Honeydew, Blackberries, Almonds, Sunflower seeds, Chia, and Probably a 100 other things! He also blended things whole! He included the fruits and vegetables skin and roots! He lived with no complications for over 2 Decades and is still doing well this very Day! If you have a debilitating habit that is destroying you physically and mentally now is the time to change! Its never to late! I hope Bob's Story has helped and given comfort to those who worry or is in a similar situation! God Bless! You've already won!
Dr Berg talked about malaise as well in his one to one show last Friday. Thank you again for the info Doctor 🙏
Dr Berg, #9 did you mean to say liver on right side? Thank you for your videos!
Yes I got stuck on that point too...lol
Yes, I caught that too! Liver on right side, swelling on right. Swelling on left, heart.
Best not mistake it for the spleen👍
my cats liver is on the left..so hes not entirely wrong
In other videos he says right, so I think he just had a off moment with his words, like we all do from time to time. Said “left” but meant “right”. His videos are valuable enough to me that I don’t mind the goof up. We’re all human.
Thank you so much.I am blessed to be in perfect shape but I will make sure that I follow your suggestions for any future problems.
I've met a lot of people with some of those symptoms, especially the "beer belly".
Who in the hell doesn’t have a taco/tortilla belly nowadays. Big bellies are everywhere man
i have that belly too
I like your hat
I must be on the end stage. I have every symptom Dr. Berg mentioned. I have had cirrhosis and hepatitis B for 8 years now. I was doing great until I got Covid in February-March of 2022. In May, I tested positive for autoimmune disease. I also have neurological disorder(seizures, arachnoid cyst and a small mass on my brain) Which makes everything more difficult. I have multiple gall stones, my eyes are yellow and my skin is yellowish brown. I have blurry vision. I have ascites, edema in both legs, loss of muscle, loss of hair, burning itching feet. Red dots and dark red lumps. I look like I have 2 black eyes. My face lost its fat. I ended up with periodontal disease in 2017 and ended up getting on my teeth pulled and now my gums are almost gone. This disease has Completely brought me to my knees. I don't have a good team doctors. In my eyes I should have been admitted a long time ago. I was supposed to be put on the transplant list back in 2020, until Covid hit and pushed everything back. I've changed my entire diet, I'm taking vitamins and supplements and protein shakes. I can't chew hard vegetables or fruits, so I have to supplement. My primary felt my stomach and also said my liver was enlarged. And my spleen. I feel like they're not doing enough. I learned about nutrition information from you. Also back in 2014 my colon perforated. I had to wear a colostomy bag for 8 months and then they reserved it. But it left scar tissue. So much in fact that you can't see some of my organs. I feel completely hopeless.
Stay strong!!
🙏🙏
How are you ? I'm having liver symptoms as well I'm 31, my primary did a poor job at telling me about my liver enzymes Until barely late last year. How's your appetite?
You need to get to a better Dr. A hepatologist. What state are you in? You definitely sound like you need a transplant ASAP. It's really hard to get on the list I know. I had to have every part of my body tested and I got lucky. I wish you the best and don't give up
Is your nickname "Lucky" ?

I get gout. I have been drinking alfalfa tea and my symptoms are disappearing. I no longer eat white sugar. Junk or fast foods.
Two of my sisters were diagnosed with non alcohol cirrhosis a month ago. One is very sick and fighting for her life. All my siblings are diabetic except me so there is definitely a link between diabetes and liver disease.

My mom died on Christmas from end stage liver disease she was only 60. Most horrific dying process. She fought from June-December 2021. I miss her so much. I’ll never drink and no one else should, at least not abusing it especially when you are younger.
I am so sorry to hear you went through this. It’s so awful watching a parent suffer. My daddy has liver cancer and I’m trying to figure out if we’re about to lose him. Would you be willing to describe to me some of the signs in those last days?
Sorry for your loss. 🎄
Dr. Berg - thanks for the video! As someone in this situation, could you please go further and explain what you would do under these circumstances? Appreciated!
Keto IF obviously!
Dr what is keto please explain
Keto is the updated Atkins diet or protein diet. It’s pretty much eating only meats, cheese and fat. A few greens for carbs but really limit potatoes and rice other heavy carbs. The greatest thing about Keto: you won’t be hungry. You can eat about all the meat and cheese you want.
My son is in end stage and in intensive care right now. He has every one of the signs except one
The man eats a lot!
They had him in a medical coma for 2 1/2 days, woke him up today and removed the ventilator tubes the second he was fully awake he asked for food.
This is his 4th trip to the hospital in 6 months
He has a few good moments where he feels good and has a little energy but that wears off real quick then he’s down for days.
I wish I could convince people who drink that this is what happens.
I’m a recovered alcoholic, I haven’t had a drop in 20 years and I have signs of liver damage to this day
food addiction he's binge eating
Not the most uplifting topic but I guess these things are part of life too
Unfortunately, not everything is uplifting, you have to keep the bad side of life in view as well.
Yeah, we must face the truth.
My dad went through this and started having greens specially juices and some herbs and he is healthy now. Been 25 years 🙂
If you dont mind me asking, what kinds of herbs and juices and how many times a day? How long did it take him to reverse the condition? Thanks for your help and response
I had malaise and fatigue a year ago along with yellow urine and high ALT /AST with little higher bilirubin. Immediately stopped alcohol and never looked back. Now I'm 100% healthy, liver is amazing. Good luck all of u
Thanks Dr.Berg for sharing your knowledge with us. More power stay safe.
I have a few of these. The confusion and disorientation has been happening for a few hours later in the day but i've just put it down to anxiety. Time to make a change
A month ago my baby sister died of liver failure may she r.i.p
While I know that you are not ‘technically’ giving medical advice. Your videos are helping this poor old gal out. Been sick most of my life. Don’t remember the last time I went a day without pain.
So while I didn’t want to hear what you had to say, I know that I needed to because I have all 10 and am trying to figure out what to do next. Being poor does not make good bedfellows for the infirm.
💚🙏 sending blessings
do try fasting. maybe supervised? maybe start a fasting group in your area?
if i can help tell me i have reversed few cirrhosis and one end stage
I honestly think the best thing you could do is to take this video down and redo it. With more on that list. Especially the bleeding complications, enlargement of the liver and possibly enlargement of the Spleen and Varices. And also to say that the liver is on the right side.
Be grateful!

Dr Berg thank you. My brother has 8 of these signs. He is in and out of hospital about every 6 days or so. Thank you for helping me understand .
My Uncle who does not drink is having liver issues. I suspect it's the pain meds associated with other things. I'm thinking about doing a partial liver donation for him.
Liver disease can be caused by sugar too particularly - fructose. Get him off carbohydrates and fruits for a while, and do the usual fasting and carnivore/keto diet. It may help.
That is amazing! You are a special person. Meds are absolutely a contributor… for me it was heart meds. Trying to undo the damage now… Prayers to you and your uncle 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@No_Frills_Carnivore doctor Debbie. Lolololol In other videos the good doctor says to eat vegetables and fruit to heal the liver. The pharmaceuticals that advertise on tv cause as much liver problems as drinking does. Better think before you pop that pill. Keto diet is hard on the heart.
I have been diagnosed with end stage liver disease. I have some of the symptoms. I lost 40 pounds, and a lot of hair. I have some bruises that I don't know how I got.
I never drank much or had hepatitis.
I don't use drugs. But loved the carbs and sugar.
I am trying to follow proper diet, intermittent fasting and enjoy everything.
Bless you. Odd, there doesn't appear to be any cause for you?
Any update? I'm having symptoms but haven't had a diagnosis my liver enzymes are high bilirubin 1.4,
Good for you! 👏
Were you taking any meds such as SSRI, hypertension, cholesterol, etc?
I had a family member that died of a huge cancer tumor at 60, that covered a large portion of her liver. It had been forming probably for decades with not a lot of symptoms. She had 6 symptoms mostly confusion and bad memory, nausea, fatigue, bloat, horrible ascites at the last month of life. She ate a high carb processed food diet and regularly took tylenol (the liver killer) for decades and other meds for headaches and seizures that didn't work.
My father age 64 died on 03rd sept, he had swollen legs, fatigue, weakness and no appetite for a week.. his bilirubin went 14 on the day he died. He was going Anti tuberculosis treatment , that doctor didn't warned us I wish if he would have got a doctor like you, he would be living with us....
I was there. Weak, dizzy. I had to take a nap to get dressed for bed each night. If I ate, I bloated so bad, I looked and felt ten months pregnant. My diabetic socks were so tight, I had the fabric shaping my legs. I weighed a massive 73 pounds, and on multiple occasions simply fell asleep standing up. One occasion I woke up to paramedics arguing over if I were in labor because I had been crying before I fell asleep. My doctor swore it was anorexia, but was dead wrong in appending "nervosa". I had absolutely no fear of food or being fat. I was starving to death and expended tons of energy eating and blowing chow. Long story short, the hospital tried to kill me, I escaped, and then I slept. Hardly drank anything, didn't eat.
But not eating was the right thing to do. After about three days, I slowly began drinking more coffee, eating more sugar free gelatine. I worked my way up to yogurt and greens, rutabaga and sugar free ketchup. I gorged on three bites of pea soup, and didn't throw up. I ate more licorice gelatine (I blended spoonfuls of ground licorice powder into gelatine, ginger, peppermint, stevia, black pepper, whatever sounded good). I drank more tea, more coffee. It was a long, slow process, but somewhere in there, rather early, I found Dr. Berg. I began implementing various vitamins, especially D and K, and an occasional duck or turkey egg.
Liver failure can be reversed, but you have to be more determined than a Navy Seal. And, you have to trust God. He created you, he gave you a brain, and you don't have to be taught how to use it. If bread and pasta screw up your blood sugar and make you vomit, don't eat it. And don't let uneducated medical personnel treat hypoglycemia with dextrose and maltodextrine. That will only kill you faster than fasting for another hour.
Thank you, sir, for this! I am so grateful that, when I needed it, there was available the information I needed condensed into portions I could digest. I gained a whopping thirty pounds over a year, then lost ten, and haven't budged since then. This is the first winter I've had to replace my clothes due to wear since I started more than five years ago with a "somewhat" fatty liver and more than double myself! Keto is good.
Love your story! Very inspiring. How long has it been?
i have reversed several and one end stage with hepatiitis B If you need help tell me
Doctor Berg I need your help, 2 weeks ago I was diagnosis in the ct scan and ultrasound show I have Hepatomegaly with moderate liver steatosis

Thank you! Did you mean to say right side for #9? Thank you for diet suggestions on the whiteboard. I’ll start using those
Your liver is on the right side of your body, but, when you have liver failure, edema occurs on the left lower extremely, and with heart failure, edema occurs on the right lower extremity.
@@liciaspencer9955 oh yikes that is good to know
what problem you got and symptoms i reversed few cirrhosis and one end stage with hepatitis B
I think you meant the right side? Where your liver is.
Your knowledge helps me a lot. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis, which erupted suddenly.
I use TUDCA (bile salts with milkthistle and artisjok), NAC, DIM, (for balancing estrogen and testosteron), resveratrol and Potassium powder, wheatgrass/greens/probiotic powder and vitamins. This makes a lot of difference. Stopped the prescribed diuretics which helped to differentiate between the cirrosis itself and the complications of those pills. Complications that made the situation worse. The only thing left is that I can't sleep at night, fall asleep in the early morning and have around 5 hours of sleep. This is since february.
@Cookie Monster Alcohol use caused it. Not even that much of a drinker, but as a kid of 1,5 I had a liver infection and during my teens had gallbladder problems. Maybe that has to do something with it too. The hormonal problems are also due to the liver not being able to process estrogen so the testosterone is lacking. The DIM (Indole-3-Carbinol) helpes to alleviate the problem. Did not use other drugs than weed 😄
@@Philomaan how are you now frank ? I'm having liver problems. Elevated liver enzymes bilirubin 1.4 highest was 2.3,

@@myyoutubechannel3161 I am alright now. Control visit a specialist every 6 months. Blood is ok. I added vitmain D and krill oil for strengthening the bloodvessels.
Good info to know....ty Dr. Berg! 😊 Thanks for listing everything on a board, makes it more memorable that way.
There's one mistake I noticed in this video. It's stated that edema occurs mostly on the left side because the liver is on the left side. However the liver is on the RIGHT side, not the left. Therefore the buildup of edema is also on the right side. I have cirrhosis and find this to be very true.
Another thing that can help with the ascites caused by cirrhosis is acupuncture. I just finished a 12 week acupuncture treatment plan and it's been helping me go longer without having to have paracentesis. I had gotten to the point where I had been struggling to go even three weeks without paracentesis. My belly would immediately start filling up after getting it tapped, I would be hurting pretty bad by two weeks, and if I tried waiting until three weeks I would be crying from the pain. I started having the acupuncture treatments and was able to go 6.5 weeks before getting tapped again and then 7.5 weeks the time after that. I actually could have gone longer than 7.5 weeks but I also have a kidney tube and it got clogged up. So it had to be changed. They went ahead and tapped my belly while I was there. Due to a backlog of patients they only allow 12 treatments, so I'm going to be finding out for sure over the coming weeks just how much the acupuncture helped or didn't help in delaying the paracentesis. Since I won't be receiving any more acupuncture treatments I'll see how long I can go without them before needing my belly drained again. I really do think though that it's been mostly the acupuncture that's kept me from having to get drained so often.
I'm 24 and have liver disease. I drank from age 8 to 23 when I lost over 100 pounds and got sick. My meld score isn't at a transplant level but I have most of these symptoms everyday.
Me too

They definitely should stop letting young children drink alcohol
There are so many people drinking alcohol with no regards for its effects. People drinking themselves to sleep at night over and over again it’s very sad
People are really going through this and its scary. 😔
Funny story. When my oldest son was born 45 years ago, they thought he had jaundice because his skin was so yellow. Not his eyes. Sixth months later he was still yellow because both my husband's and my family have golden-based skin. In fact, my mother's skin was always bright golden under artificial light. I didn't notice it until we attended my niece's wedding; under the lights in the reception hall, my mother's skin and mine looked bright yellow, but nobody else's. Neither one of us has had jaundice. Both of my sons have golden tone skin with actual peach-color cheeks.
My dad died last week after colon cancer had spread to his liver and he had to stop treating because chemo had done so much damage. He had alllll of these symptoms. So sad to see my strong dad succumb to cancer. His dream had been to beat it and ring the bell at the cancer center 😢
This breaks my heart! I am so very sorry for your loss. My dad has stage four prostate cancer that has spread to his liver. He had a CT scan today and there has been progression of the liver metastasis. My family is crushed. Today is my mom's birthday and this is not the news we were hoping for. He is currently on chemo but it is obviously not working.
I started to say my liver is on the right, then seen you had responded to someone else saying you made a mistake, when you are terminal you know exactly where it hurts
Yeah, I have felt like I’m having problems with my liver but you just said something that I was questioning for a while, I started getting ankles that are swelling, went to the doctor and they just said for me to lower my cholesterol and that was it. I noticed that both ankles are swelling but my left one is worse. I have to make a change, I can’t continue like this.
I have this and i live everyday in pain.
Im 31 years old and trying so hard to not give up.
Hi Daisy, My best friend just found out she has cirrhosis, she is 52 and she hasn’t been physically or emotionally well in about 5 years. Her quality of life is not what most would consider good. I see it’s been 3 months since you posted your comment. Did you change your diet or make any changes that have had a positive impact to give you pain relief or hope? I feel like my friend thinks it is too much work to prepare healthy meals and she gets overwhelmed and exhausted and doesn’t have a lot to motivate her to muster up the strength to do what it will take to get well. I’m hopeful that you have been able to make some changes and find relief from pain. Please let me know if there’s something I can do to help encourage my friend, if there was something someone did for you, that may have helped to encourage you or give you something to look forward to.
fasting is your friend if your liver damage is carb related
Thank you very much Dr Berg. Love from Australia Michael 🇦🇺 ❤
goodnite ..dont let the koalas bite🐱👍🏿
Very good video, I was close to a person who went through exactly these symptoms and couldn't stand it, no one figure out until it's was too later, anyways you didn't talk about the second part of the board, with the liver solutions
10 years ago I was diagnosed with liver disease, but all of my blood tests have been normal since then. I recently went to ED for stomach pain in my right side, doctor said I have a fatty liver.... not sure where to turn because anytime I go to the doctor and tell them I'm having stomach pain nothing happens. It seems this might be because I don't have insurance. Idk.... I've been watching your channel and trying to take your advice. Thank you.
I hope you got to see a good doctor. Preferably a hepatologist. Or at least a gastro intestinal Dr. There are hospitals and clinics that will help you even if you don't have insurance
I did see a hepatoligist, he was the last doctor I saw about 6 months ago. He did a MRI also ran a scope down my throat and more blood test, and he said it's a fatty liver. I'm hopeful that all is good and the pain is from fatty liver disease. The pain comes and goes, I've been trying to eat better and it seems to go away the better I eat, but I always have that scared thought in the back of my head.
Dr Berg THE KING OF THE DOCTORS! 👍
Hello Dr. Berg and thank you for another video. You talk about the dangers of low grade inflamation. I have a question, I had an ACL surgery many years ago and they used screws for my surgery. I just want to know is this the kind of inflamation that I should worry about and what can someone with surgery do
Thank you
i use to have about half of those symptoms I wasn't a sweet's eater nor a "drinker" I just had a really poor way of eating Wonderful people like Dr Berg has taught me a better way and how to recognize my symptoms even I am 61 and i feel better and am healthier than i have ever been in my whole life Thank you Dr Berg much graditude
As usual this is an excellent video that presents the information clearly and without confusion. After reading some of the comments below about undiagnosed cases that ended in death my question is this: Why is it so hard for doctors to recognize this situation? Further: How do you get a doctor to take this seriously?
Because most of the doctors doesn’t have the knowledge to cure or recognize deseases in the early stages. The mayor part of their careers is focused on medication and medications contribute to damage your liver like the antibiotics.
I was severely itching way before I was diagnosed with liver disease. I went to my dermatologist. Instead of taking me seriously he made fun of my condition. He should have told me to see my primary dr. If I would suggest anything it would be that when dr.s do not know the answer to a condition they recommend the patient to have further examination. I find some dr.s are more interested in their egos. Also I turned from yellow to orange over my body when the disease advanced. I have had a liver transplant.
My dad was given 3 to 6 months to live with end stage liver disease...prayer and the rosary and the doctors can't figure out how he is still alive and thriving
I need to read this mom is going through this now.
@@jaylove7ful I'm so sorry! First and most importantly is prayer and rosary to our dear mother in heaven..next I gave him a diet of salads.. blueberries with organic yogurt..grape juice..salmon..chicken..eggs..and other healthy things...stay away from wheat and sugar..read labels..high fructose corn syrup is the enemy..I will pray for your mom in my rosary..what is her name?

how old was he?? im sorry to hear this

He also had sepsis and his extremities started dying. He couldn’t walk.
Hi Dr, thank you so much for all your great videos!! Such a caring and companionate person!! Question? What are there some things you can do for end stage liver? Thank you!!
What should be the first steps towards healing?
Avoid grains and sugars...
Take milk thistle if your not allergic to ragweeds which helps to detox the liver and regrow liver cells...
Eat artichoke hearts like crazy which helps to detox the liver and regrow liver cells...
Do keto and intermittent fasting...
Use olive oil more often in your salads that are made of cruciferous vegetables...
Drink lemon juice in water first thing in the morning and whenever you can throughout the day...
Eat more butter and coconut oils for their medium chain triglycerides that don't tax the liver so much but help give you energy and to produce more bile which helps to detox the liver...
Drink warm drinks that will warm up the gut and bring more bloodflow into the liver...
Take taurine which helps to fight a fatty liver...
@@MRGF78 excellent summary
First step is cutting off all forms of sugar and alcohol from your diet, reduce carbs, especially refined ones, to a minimum
Secondly, avoid processed foods
Thirdly, eat lots of fatty fish (like salmon and sardines) and organ meats (especially liver), also don't be afraid of eggs, as all of these are some of the most nutrient dense foods out there, and your liver may be lacking, especially when it comes to B complex vitamins, and enjoy these along with leafy greens (like spinach) and cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and brussel sprouts), raw salads are also good for you, as these will provide a bunch of essencial vitamins/ minerals and help your liver heal and detox faster and more efficiently
Fourtly, do intermittent fasting (if your liver is in a REALLY bad shape, you shouldn't do prolonged fasting, but if it's just a little fatty, it's okay)
Lastly, drinking a glass of water with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a couple of tablespoons of apple cider viner (organic, not the cheap one) before your first meal, as well as taking serrapeptase (on an emply stomach as soon as you wake up) and milk thistle as supplements may help as well
P.S.: exercise daily, doesn't have to be anything in particular, but at least make it a priority to walk outside 30 minutes everyday
@@MRGF78 Thank you. Great info!
keto and fasting
My dad unfortunately passed away last year from liver disease and he had every single one of the symptoms listed in this video.
Sorry for your loss. My mother is currently in end stage live disease. She is 80 yrs old, and it’s tough to watch her decline.
Sadly I’m too familiar with this. My husband died of alcoholic liver disease.
Thank you for keeping us informed!
Earlier signs seem to be brown ‘liver’ spots, or areas, sometimes raised, often on the hands and face, but seen elsewhere too.
I don't think that's actually accurate! "Liver Spots" actually has no correlation with liver disease. Most liver spots are small and occurs as reaction from growing age and the uv rays from the Sun ...Its very uncommon that this would be a sign of disease or cancer. If you have spots that are larger than a pencil eraser in diameter then you could speak to your GP about potential skin cancers. But realistically if it's larger in diameter then you more than likely have a low platelet count which would cause bruising and bleeding under the skin! God Bless!
I'm at the end stage too when I was younger I took too many pills ( Percocet).. I wish I could take it back.. I was taken to thirty to forty a day.. From 18 to 25 years old.. I drank alcohol too.. That's not worth.I didn't know what I was doing to my body.
and now im paying the price
I think you would have to be very careful about any idea of loss of appetite being the body's call to fast. One of the accelerators of ESLD is Protein Calorie Malnutrition (PCM).
Especially since a liver patient is malnourished.
I've learnt a lot from you doc. Thanks.
I hate the term “end stage”.
I have Cirrhosis due to Lean NASH (which means Fatty liver for no known reason) and the only ones I have from that list is fatigue, bloating and bruising. I think along with the bruising you should have added “bleeding disorder”. Also as for the loss of appetite I have that to an extent but I also have days where I feel like I am starving but after a few bites I am full. Also my loss of appetite isn’t so much that my appetite is gone, it is that I get full easily.
You also didn’t even mention varices, that is more common of a complication from Cirrhosis than HE is. And what about Spider angiomas? That is a rash that people can see and might make them go to the doctor to see if there is a problem. But they need to know about it possibly being connected to Liver problems. Spider angiomas doesn’t itch or anything, it is just there.
I love most of your videos but this one was just lacking in information.
he has other liver videos he mentions those in .......... he tries to keep them short as he can.......... do a search on his channel
@@weswelk6014 I have watched other videos of his. But I am saying that in this video the list is wrong
its reversible if you wanna know how tell me :) but the cloting factors problem plus portal vein hypertension is what need to be fixed control as much as possible while detox and heall the body and liver and lympatic system
Thank you Dr Berg, please keep up the hard work and healing, we appreciate you!
Thank you ! Dr. Berg i needed this one for a Family Member ❤much love coming your way❤👍👍❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙋
Thanks for the Love❤Dr.Berg😘
Father God bless the journey of recovery in the liver and revelation
Wow Dr Berg I had all these in my thirty’s. I’ve been doing ketofor a year! Had problem when there was a death in the family. staying on my intermittent fasting! But still keto! And I will tell u that I am no longer yellow! My eyes are better! I’m not as sickly. Right now I can walk up to 4 miles and do at least 1-2 miles a
day! I still have a Protruding belly! There are times it goes way down! Then it will puff up again then go down! Not sure but I think that’s a good sign of healing sence it was really big. Today it’s big! Because I had to eat out all week while we where on the road. I still have the Edema in my legged but that is changing too! I know I have been in bad shape for a long time! I did do fasting juicing, eating raw, I think it did bring me back! But I still felt sickly never able to get to a better state! So many factors! You have helped me throw them all! But I can not understand why I was so bad off! I just have to say it was the food in the grocery stores! I was raised on a farm. We always had a garden! So I know now what a difference makes with food! And fasting!
I thought it would be easy traveling. Eat once a day! My husband likes to eat out! But I found I have to go to the grocery stores to eat on the go! Organic salads, and do the best I can to find some place that will have a nice piece of meat where ever we are! I bring my salad dressing! And vinegar and olive oil! And boiled pasted raised eggsI and nuts! I have a hard time finding organic cheese! Any where! So I look on line! Also I eat very little cheeses! Mostly will eat grass feed butters and cream! Like my cream with my raw coco!
Thank u Dr berg for all you do!!!!
What treatments or diets do u have
