Suggest Treatment For Cirrhosis
My sister is an alcoholic. She was recently diagnosed with Cirhhosis. She has had a blood transfusion and has jaundice and a swollen belly. The swelling in her feet and legs has gone down and she has severe bruising. She has not been eating properly either. She said she has stopped drinking, but the last time she stopped she got the Delerium Tremens. Would the blood transfusion have stopped the D.T's this time?

Dear Friend:
First make sure that your sister has stopped drinking alcohol. Please note that Liver is a very important organ in our body. Liver is a very very hard worker also, Liver complaints to us only when it is very critical; i.e. when its function drops down to 10%. People always neglect its importance. 80 to 85% of our body function depends upon Liver.
She needs fully care and rest. Contact a good Doctor and take his advice. Once she stabilizes, you can contact an Expert in Alternative Medicine/Acupressure or Acupuncture specialist.
