No you don't need surgery. Avoid it if possible.\nStones can be flushed out.\n\n\nCleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear, too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. You have more energy and an increased sense of well being.\n\nCleaning the liver bile ducts is the most powerful procedure that you can do to improve your body's health. But it should not be done before the parasite program, and for best results should follow the kidney cleanse.\n\nIt is the job of the liver to make bile, 1 to 1½ quarts in a day! The liver is full of tubes (biliary tubing) that deliver the bile to one large tube (the common bile duct). The gallbladder is attached to the common bile duct and acts as a storage reservoir. Eating fat or protein triggers the gallbladder to squeeze itself empty after about twenty minutes, and the stored bile finishes its trip down the common bile duct to the intestine. \n\nThe problem can be solved in one day.\n\nhttp://www.drclark.net/en/drclark_protocol/illnesses/liver_cleanse.php

I used to use dessicated liver tabs, lean beef and chicken. Protein powders are useful but read the label first and use it sparingly. A good, complete diet should be enough to build muscle without the use of supplemented protien powders.

As long as you don't have a personal or family history of liver problems, Kava Kava is available in tea form. \n\nIt tastes a little bit like a tree, but add the teaball into a cup with your favourite normal tea (ie: earl grey) with a little sugar and cream, and it can relax away the most stressful day.\n\nFor painkilling, take two or three naproxin sodium (that's alieve, if you like name brands) before the tea to relax tired, sore muscles. And if it's a headache, find the appropriate Excedrin. I could kiss the people who make that stuff.\n\nJust don't drive afterward.

Any good multivitamin would be fine. The fact that you don't have a gall bladder doesn't affect that choice.

The liver creates bile and mixes it with feces or stool and that gives it the brown color. Foods affect it a little. Eat greens with chlorophyll and that has green color. Eat lots of carrots and it is a lighter brown.

there is no known cure for hbv or hcv using this protocol. don't be duped in to buying expensive juices, fasting, flushing ect. (some of these protocols can be dangerous for those with these liver ailments as there are many bi-directional diseases associated with it)even tho there is a slight benefit using this stuff, just following a good diet (no red meat, iron, sodium) is the key. stay away from any liver damaging substances like alcohol, prescription pain meds.\nincrease your fruit intake as well as veggies containing no iron. and see your doctor. interferon is used in both hepatitis viruses. don't be afraid of those who claim the treatment is horrible....i as well as many other sure, had our bad days on treatment, but all in all, we felt much better and most of us dont have hcv anymore!!

A lot of fatty or greasy foods are bad because they are broken down in the liver before going to the gallbladder. Follow your doctors recommendation's for diet, which is probably NO ALCOHOL, eat balanced proportioned meals. Ask your DR. what he thinks about using Milk Thistle as a supplement to your diet. It is a plant/herb that is a good cleanser for the liver as well as promotes healthy liver funtion. It can make you sick when first taking it tho as it is cleansing your liver of toxins (that are making you sick).Check with your doctor first as it may not be appropriate in your specific situation.

Amp up on Vitamin C and Zinc. Drink a glass of hot green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the morning.\n\n Eat only fruits and vegatables during the day plus avoid mucous creating foods such as milk, bread and cheese. Fast from eating meat as your digestive system needs to be ridding itself of toxins and meat will slow down the process.

In the emergency room we treat alcoholics (not implying that you are one) with a "Banana Bag" (the color of the intravenous solution is yellow . . . thus the name). The main ingredient in the bag is thiamin. When you drink alcohol chronically it deprives your body of this very important nutrient & causes malnurishment. It is important to eat a balanced diet rich in protein and take a multi-vitamin each day, with added thiamin. Drink a lot of water to keep your body filtered. Of course, your best bet would be to not drink as much, but if you find this impossible to do it's important that you maintain adequate nutrition. Alcohol is high in useless calories; that is your body will store these calories as fat. Try to eat a low-carb, high protein diet with lots of water, as the body becomes dehydrated because of alcohol (it's a diuretic). \nAs far as decreasing liver/kidney damage, well, I don't think there is a particular preventative measure except to cease from drinking. I've seen folks with a diseased liver, it is not a pretty site :-( Take care and good luck!
