Cirrhosis of the liver is a condition in which normal liver tissue is replaced by fibrous scar tissue. It hampers the normal functions of the liver, and, if not treated on time, leads to loss of liver functions. Chronic alcoholism is the primary cause of cirrhosis in the United States. A Hepatitis C virus infection may also lead to liver scarring.

Although it is an irreversible condition, further progression can be arrested if detected and treated in a timely manner.

The symptoms include enlargement of your liver, jaundice, ascites, and palmar erythema. This condition does not manifest any symptoms unless the disease has progressed considerably and liver functions start getting majorly affected. Although it is an irreversible condition, further progression can be arrested if detected and treated in a timely manner.

Types of Liver Cirrhosis

• Auto-immune disorder: Some patients with chronic liver disease have abnormal auto antibodies in their blood, which are suggestive of an auto immune disorder. The body’s immune system attacks the liver cells, causing inflammation and then progressing to cirrhosis.
• Metabolic Disorders: These include excess deposition of iron in the liver in hemochromatosis and of copper in Wilson’s disease. Fat deposition in the liver also leads to inflammation and scarring.
• Drugs: Chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis can occur in some patients on long-term drug treatment. Recognition of drug-induced liver disease is important because drug withdrawal leads to improvement in such cases.
• Obstruction of Bile Ducts: Prolonged blockage of bile ducts can cause cirrhosis. Diseases such as primary biliary cirrhosis, biliary strictures and sclerosing cholangitis cause obstruction of the bile duct.
• Congestion: Prolonged congestion in the liver due to blood outflow obstruction or chronic heart failure can eventually cause cirrhosis.

Signs and Symptoms of Liver Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis may be entirely asymptomatic. It is often discovered incidentally during surgery, or with minimal features, or during autopsy. Symptoms vary greatly and may include any combination of the manifestations mentioned below, none of which are related to any specific cause.

Frequent complaints include weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps, weight loss and non specific digestive complaints like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort and gaseous abdominal distension.

Other clinical features are as follows:

• Hepatomegaly or enlargement of the liver and spleen is common in cirrhosis. However, as the disease progresses, the liver shrinks in size. The liver is hard, irregular, and painless.
• Jaundice is usually mild when it initially appears and is primarily due to failure to excrete bilirubin.
• Ascites or water retention in the abdominal cavity results from inadequate sodium and water excretion.
• Palmar erythema or increased mottling of the palm occurs due to increased peripheral blood circulation. It can be seen early in the disease, but is of limited diagnostic value.
• Spider Telangiectasia are vascular lesions and comprise a central arteriole, from which small veins radiate. They vary in size from 1-2 mm to 1-2 cm in diameter and occasionally raise the skin surface. They are usually found only on the skin above the nipples, and they can occur early in the disease.
• Hormonal changes may occur. In men, these include hair loss, gynaecomastia, loss of libido and atrophy of the testes. In females, it is manifested as absent/irregular menses and atrophy of the breast.
• Easy bruising occurs as cirrhosis progresses. Epistaxis or bleeding from the nose is common due to the hemorrhagic tendency.
• Splenomegaly or increase in the size of the spleen is a feature of portal hypertension.
• Dupuytren’s contracture or thickening and shortening of the fascia of the palms, causing deformities of the fingers is traditionally associated with cirrhosis.
• Non-specific features of chronic liver disease include pigmentation, clubbing of fingers and toes, and low-grade fever.

Diagnosis of Liver Cirrhosis

Liver Cirrhosis is usually asymptomatic in the initial stages and is often found incidentally during surgery. Diagnosis is made on the basis of a physical examination and laboratory investigations.

On palpation of the abdomen, the liver and spleen are found enlarged.

• Blood tests include serum bilirubin and liver enzymes, which are raised due to impaired liver function.
• Imaging methods such as CT scan, MRI and Ultrasound help assessing the structural effects of the disease on the liver and are particularly useful in identifying complications.
• Liver biopsy establishes diagnosis and the cause, but is only required when clinical observation and less invasive investigations have not established the diagnosis.

Complications Associated with Cirrhosis of the Liver

Cirrhosis is associated with the development of several serious complications, which affect the prognosis of the disease. These complications include the following:

• Portal hypertension
• Ascites
• Hepatic encephalopathy
• Renal failure
• Infection
• Liver cancer

The peer-reviewed published research quoted on this page represents some of the studies done on natural remedies for Cirrhosis of the Liver. More such studies can be found on pubmed or google scholar. Our doctors participate in or evaluate research from all traditions before formulating our precedent-setting kits. However, the laws on natural medicine vary, from country to country, and we, therefore, make no claims beyond those made by the FDA in your country who is the only authority that can legally make a claim to cure, treat, or mitigate a disease. You are welcome to discuss this research with your doctors. If they truly care about your health they too will take the time to study it with an open mind. You may then take our all natural products for Liver support. Biogetica supports you in your right to know and chose and we vow to be with you every step of the way. No one will be turned away from receiving our natural remedies even if they cannot pay.

Treatment for Cirrhosis of the Liver depends on the causative factor. Allopathy includes diuretics, beta-blocker, antibiotics, interferon, and other antiviral drugs. However, Allopathic treatments do not cure Cirrhosis of the Liver and merely offer symptom relief. Alternatively, natural remedies have clinically shown to potentially benefit the structure and function of the liver.

How Do Conventional Medicines Work?

• Allopathic treatment for Cirrhosis of the Liver includes diuretics to address edema and ascites. Large amounts of ascitic fluid may be drained from the abdomen with an incision.
• Oral antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infections.
• Alcoholic cirrhosis is treated by abstaining from alcohol.
• Cirrhosis due to viral infection is treated by medications such as Interferons.
• Autoimmune disorders are treated by giving corticosteroids.
• Cirrhosis due to metabolic disorders is treated by therapies that prevent excessive build-up of deposits in the liver.
• Drug-induced cirrhosis is treated by withdrawal of the drug.
• If the liver stops functioning or complications are beyond control, liver transplant is recommended. There is an 80% 5-year survival rate in liver transplantation cases. Other medical problems of the recipient largely influence the outcome.

Why do Antibiotics and Diuretics not Cure Cirrhosis of the Liver?

None of the Conventional medicines used are able to rejuvenate, stimulate or restructure the liver in repairing itself. They only manage the symptoms and stall the progression.

Moreover, all the medications that you take are metabolized in the liver, since the liver is the major metabolizing system of your body. In cirrhosis, many of the liver’s vital functions are hampered, so many drugs are not cleared effectively from the liver leading to hepatic toxicity.

In addition, drugs like antibiotics are known to cause liver damage apart from other side effects like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting etc. Many people are unable to tolerate these side effects and often abandon the treatment protocol midway.

Diuretics could cause loss of vital minerals, digestive disorders, vision problems, kidney damage, and erectile dysfunction among others.

Complementary Natural Care

No Natural products are approved by the FDA for liver cirrhosis treatment. Natural products at best can be used for balancing and enhancing the immune and hepatic system of the body. Moreover, clinical data suggests that certain herbs and natural ingredients may help the liver rejuvenate itself. Sooner or later you’ll realize that Nature completes you in many ways. Our specialists are here to provide you the support you need and will assist you in your journey from dis-ease to ease.

Biogetica’s approach institutes a unique mixture of traditional Ayurvedic herbs, advanced resonance Homeopathies along with Natural dietary Supplements.

This combination is believed to focus on: **

• Making conditions conducive so that the liver can carry out its natural functions
• Benefitting the normal structure and functions of the liver

Biogetica’s mission is to provide you with integrated natural solutions that target root issues across the physical, energetic and informational spectrum of your life. Our Doctors research all possible ingredients and combine them synergistically into kits to potentially lead you back to health and freedom.

Biogetica’s approach to healing is based on the following aspects:
1. Heal the Entire Being
2. Look for Natural Solutions
3. Balance Mind, Body and Soul
4. From Medication to Meditation

1. Heal the Entire Being:
Biogetica has a unique and comprehensive Holographic model of healing which synthesizes all the traditional natural health systems to simultaneously ease physical, mental, emotional layers of your being.

You, as a living, thinking, feeling, vibrating being, are much more than a collection of inter-related chemical processes. You are life itself. Life can never be reduced to a series of chemical reactions as chemical reactions cannot create life. Every thought, emotion, vibration or action leads to a series of chemical changes in the body. Biogetica recognizes this and balances the ENTIRE BEING, bringing mind, body, and soul into harmony. Treating an ailment on a molecular level alone, seldom has a lasting effect as the untreated social, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic patterns cause the ailment to manifest once again on a physical plane. Holistic healing is necessary for lasting relief. Biogetica, therefore, uses Resonance Homeopathic to harmonize the entire being; flower essences to attune the mind; Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and Chinese herbs to balance the energetic and the physiological manifestation of the five elements; and nutraceuticals to coordinate cellular nutrition.

2. Look for Natural Solutions:
Our bodies are made of and supported by nature and therefore can only be healed by nature in the long term. Chemicals are often necessary for immediate change in an acute situation but tend to do the body more harm than good in the long run. Hence, Biogetica’s Doctors are dedicated to providing natural solutions that are supported by evidence and prior use. To us, the argument is fairly obvious: One would use wood to fix a desk made of wood or metal to fix a car made of metal, so why use chemicals to fix a body made of nature?

Nature has blessed the Earth with natural remedies and healing mechanisms. It would be wise not to ignore them. The intelligence of nature is much greater than that of man. Unfortunately, man still focuses on chemical medicines, as they can be patented and sold for huge profits. Allopathic attempts to treat chronic ailments by interfering directly with the chemical processes using man-made substances have essentially been a failure. We claim to be cracking the gene code, but we still can’t cure a cold with man-made substances!!! Homeopathic and Naturopathic methods are never studied and verified by governing bodies, as there is no one who will spend millions obtaining an approval on herbs, knowing that they cannot be patented and sold exclusively by them.

3. Balance Mind, Body and Soul:
Life cannot be recreated with chemical interactions and there is much more to life than molecular interactions. Our bodies are the most advanced pharmacies on the planet and millions of functions happen each minute with astounding precision. Biogetica therapies are designed to appeal to the balancing forces apparent in all nature by reminding and stimulating the body towards a certain function. The nutraceuticals in our kits provide specific nutrition for a function, the herbs in our kits balance the terrain of the body so that it is able to perform that function and the resonance homeopathies are designed to remind the body to be in resonance with that very function.

4. From Medication to Meditation:
Good health and freedom involve every aspect of our being including diet, lifestyle, exercise, emotional states, thoughts and energetic patterns. Biogetica Drs have therefore designed diet, nutrition, exercise, and meditation protocols specific to various life situations. We encourage you to actively partake in these for the best results.

Recommended Foods:

• Vegetarian food is recommended. It should contain green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce, coriander, curry leaves.
• Other vegetable like Beets, carrot, radish, broccoli, Brussels

• Completely avoid frozen, preserved, canned foods, including chips, soups, meats or vegetables, there are known to have high salt or sugar, which may lead to fluid retention.
• Avoid sugary foods such as chocolates, ice-cream, candies and cake.
• Avoid sugary foods such as chocolates, ice cream, candies and cake as they increase the liver fats to about 27%

General Tips:

Prana’ stands for life force, and as the name suggests, it is instrumental in keeping us alive. ‘Pranayama’ is the process that helps us control ‘Prana’, and thus in a way, control our life. On careful observation, it is clear that there exists an intimate connection between the breath and energy-currents. Proper coordination of the breathing process leads to the control of vital inner-currents and energies. It ultimately results in the control of the body, mind and soul continuum. Over the millenia yogis have understood how each pranayama affects the energy meridians of the body and therefore these yogis recommend particular pranayamas for particular conditions and constitutions.

   1. Inhale through the right nostril for a definite period – say 5 seconds.
   2. Close the right nostril with your right thumb.
   3. Exhale through the left nostril for a period that is twice that of inhalation i.e. 10 seconds.
   4. This completes the other half of one round.

Time limit: If there is no discomfort of any kind after practicing as instructed above, increase the inhalation period gradually second-by-second. Correspondingly change the exhalation period.

The mind is a tool developed for our survival. You are not the mind, nor the body but rather one that can perceive the mind and the body. However, one is now constantly wagged around by the mind and its fears and desires. Often we find ourselves trampled in a parade of thoughts and washed around in a flood of emotions. Meditation is simply the process of returning Home to our true nature as the witnessing consciousness in which arise all thoughts and emotions. It is merely the fragrance of Being Human.

Meditation cannot be done, it will happen once we stop doing everything and anything. Now is all that exists, all else is merely grasping at the wind hoping to change things that are generally way beyond our control.

Talking about meditation and whether you believe you can do it or not, is pointless. When we rise above our mind, emotions and body, meditation will happen. Simply listening and following is enough. Meditation is in our very nature, and it happens for us all. Behind all those thoughts is a Witness. You are that Witness.
