Your sister is no doubt being followed by a hematologist for her hemochromatosis and probably gets routine transfusions. The ONLY things she should be taking are what her doctor has prescribed. I'm sure that you love her and want to help her and you may feel helpless to do so. But please do not solicit suggestions. The majority of the people who answer these questions have no medical background, no understandiing of anatomy and physiology, no knowledge of the disease process. Any advice given could be potentially harmful. The best help you can give your sister is to make sure she follows her doctor's advice, give her emotional support and assist her in her daily activities.

Your sister's cirrhosis is a symptom of an underlying condition. It is the hemochromatosis you want to treat so that the cirrhosis will not worsen, or at least progress more slowly. This requires frequent drawing off blood or possibly use of iron chelating medication. It's a rare enough condition that you may want to consult an MD who specializes in liver diseases. Herbal medicine does not have a primary role to play here.

I've never heard of this and I don't know anyone who has advanced into actual cirrhosis but do know two people with hepatitis. They have both seen excellent results in their liver functions with regular use of milk thistle to the point that the liver functions actually normalized in both of them so that may be something you may want to mention he/she ask their doctor about and seeing if it may be something that would work for them. Good luck.

Use spray oil as an alternative to pouring. One squirt contains merely one calorie compared to 120 calories at a tablespoon. If you use oil in your cooking daily, this small change could lose you a stone over the year.

Cold showers: They not only burn 500 extra calories a day, studies from The New England Journal of Medicine cite the icy water also activates ‘brown fat’ – the excellent type of body fat which creates body heat, increases metabolic rate and burns off naughty light fat.

Time your eating and exercise appropriately. Never eat before you decide to work out, and wait 30 to 60 minutes after training to ensure you catch your metabolism at its highest.

People who plan their weekly meals are more successful at losing weight than people who don’t. Plan your dishes to feature healthy carbs such as sweet potato and wholegrain pasta, vegetables and lean proteins, buy each of the ingredients in advance and don’t be tempted to consume out or order in.

Sunny side up please. Two eggs for breakfast provides improvement over a bagel when it comes to managing your weight, says an investigation from the International Journal of Obesity.
