subject: Liver Sclerosis [print this page] As the disease progresses and more and more scarring takes place, more symptoms start to appear. You might notice swelling in the legs and feet (edema) or bloating in the stomach (ascites). You may also get bacteria in the abdomen when ascites is present and / or bleeding into the esophagus or stomach.
One of the biggest factors is what you do and don't put into your mouth. Some foods have life-giving properties, and some foods decrease the quality of your life. I'm sure you probably already know many foods that are great for your body (fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats...) and the ones that are detrimental to your body (unhealthy trans and saturated fats, sugar, salt, alcohol...).
When your liver scars, it does it in a similar fashion to any other part of your body that might get damaged and then scar over. For instance, have you ever cut your finger really badly on a knife? (I have done this, and I don't recommend it! Be careful with those knives!) If it's a deep enough, and bad enough cut, your wound will heal and the healthy tissue will be replaced by scar tissue.
I know that salt makes things taste better, but it's really not good for anyone to eat too much of it. And for someone suffering with sclerosis of the liver, it's a good idea to really reduce the salt intake. Avoid things such as soy sauce, french fries, potato chips and any other highly-salted food. And remember, salt is hidden in everything. Make sure you read the labels when you go grocery shopping. You can never go wrong with fruits and vegetables...they are naturally not salty!
If the disease gets too far along, and it scars too much, your liver will fail and you'll need to get a transplant. Fortunately, there are things you can do before then to help heal your liver and get it back on the right track.
You've got to stop drinking alcohol. Cut down on the salt. It's just not good for your body. And unhealthy fats, such as trans and saturated fats, have got to go too. These things are not good for anyone's body. But it's especially important to remove these if you're trying to heal your body.
Multiple sclerosis is a very intriguing disorder of the CNS (central nervous system), encompassing multiple patterns of progression. While persons with slow progressing multiple sclerosis may perceive symptoms at low intensities or even have no symptoms at all, persons with fast progressing forms of the disease may be confronted with very intense symptoms and may be at risk of developing severe, life-threatening complications.
Chronic viruses and other infectious load can be treated and correct exercise should maintain muscle tone and balance. There is no doubt; early intervention with integrative modalities has the potential to make MS a truly manageable disease, not a condition where one has lost all hope and feels that a wheelchair is the only likely future.
