I write about liver cirrhosis today because someone asked me to and I want to give them hope. You see I have a great friend who had stage 4 liver disease (regular doctors said there was no hope) and now she is totally fine because of natural herbs and healing… her cirrhosis is gone.
So there is hope my friends!
First of all the liver is a very adaptable organ that wants to heal and regenerate… and given the right herbs, foods, exercise, de-stressing and taking care of yourself it will heal.
Milk Thistle has been around for years and this weed has the ability to remove toxins from the liver and help the liver start the regeneration process. Milk Thistle has been around since the time of Christ and has been helping people to heal for that long too. If you make milk thistle tea and drink one or two cups a day it will speed up recovery.
Licorice Root has shown to have great healing abilities for the liver including being anti-inflammatory, a wonderful antioxidant, antibacterial and viral agent, helps to boost your immune system, and it’s soothing to the liver in general. And taking licorice root can help normalize your liver enzymes. Licorice root has been used in Japan for over 20 years with great success, check with your master herbalist it’s use.
Guto Kola is a powerful herb that will also help detox the liver and at the same time allow the liver to start the healing process via regeneration. Guto Kola is a great antiviral and bacterial agent and also a wonderful anti-inflammatory.
Globe Artichoke is great, this wonderful food and healing herb will kickstart your liver back into the process of being normal again. It removes toxins and also soothes the liver… eat lots of great artichokes and artichoke hearts.

Chinese doctors have many specialized herbal liver formulas for liver disease. Plus many people respond very well to acupuncture treatments for liver problems too!
Stay away from alcohol, processed food, hormones, drugs, toxins, soda, artificial sweeteners-colorings-flavorings… and anything else that’s not natural. Eat organic and none GMO foods and star getting back to natural food in general. Exercise is always important, do what you can do, with liver disease you might not have a lot of energy.
De-stress your life by taking time for yourself, get out into nature, learn meditation, take a yoga, tai chi, or qigong class, listen to music, start a new hobby, go out with friends, make time for fun every day!
Also there’s the Gerson Institute (look them up on the internet, they have a great track record of healing disease) the Gerson Institute is a place to go and take two weeks and get your body back to normal and heal at the same time. They will teach you how to eat, and what juices to drink, what herbs and supplements to use, and how to take care of your liver so you can heal.

There is hope my friends… never give up… keep moving forward!
Letter from a woman who’s husband recovered from liver cirrhosis —
Dr. Haider I wanted to thank you for giving me hope about a year and a half ago, when I really needed it. My husband was very sick with cirrhosis and you were one of the first people I’d seen online who said that it is possible to reverse cirrhosis, because you’d seen it happen with a friend of yours. I really needed to hear that, because all the doctors were telling my husband he would need to have a liver transplant. I was sure there had to be another way. I watched several of your videos and it definitely gave me hope, and you were one of the people who inspired me to make a blog to share treatments that worked. My husband went from a MELD score of 28 to an 8, he can run a fast mile and his liver function tests are all within normal range. I am sure you have inspired many more people and will continue to do so. Thanks again!!! ——- Ellie Greene
