Liver Story July 2, 2009 |
About 4 months ago, I was jaundiced, I could not eat very much without feeling sick, my entire body itched like crazy, I had little lesions everywhere, my urine turned dark suddenly, my stools were pale in color, and I thought I felt fine except a I was a little tired, but obviously, something was seriously wrong. I went to immediate care since I did not even have a regular doctor and my liver enzyme readings were 1900!! They said scary words to me, like hepatitis! I wound up in the office of a gastroenterologist who wanted me to have a liver biopsy which in my estimation was a pretty risky test. He suspected I had auto-immune hepatitis but needed the biopsy to make a definitive diagnosis. He gave me a prescription to help relieve the itching that only made me very tired and did not help the itch.
At this time, I heard about Master Wang from a chiropractor I go to from time to time who said her husband has liver issues and Master Wang has helped him a lot. I immediately made an appointment and he seemed very confident that acupuncture and Chinese herbs would be successful in bringing my liver back into balance. The itching that had been keeping me awake lessened and disappeared within a week. I had appointments three times a week for a month and then had my blood retested. My liver enzymes were now at 475!!! I was ecstatic! I continued with my acupuncture and herbs and was tested monthly with reading decreasing by half each time. My most recent reading was 83 and I had another appointment with the gastroenterologist to see what his opinion was now of my progress and condition. He said I likely have non-alcoholic fatty liver hepatitis and not auto immune hepatitis. He recommended I continue what I was doing in addition to eating a low fat, low cholesterol diet and we will continue to monitor my blood to be sure it stays normal when I get there, which should be next month. I am so grateful to Master wang for providing a successful, non-invasive, drug-free treatment for me.
