A friend of mine had a liver transplant in Sept 08. The surgery went well, but she has had a number of complications since then. At this point, her viral load has damaged the new liver, and she will need a second transplant. I am looking for any suggestions that might bring her comfort, relief, and healing. She is aware of the inner smile, healing sounds, and has practiced Primordial Qigong.
Can you explain more about this person’s problem?
Why does she have a high viral load? Does she have HIV?
What’s going on with this person?In absence of any other information, I’d at the very least
recommend acquiring the Deep Healing Qigong, and to spend
as much time daily as feasible practicing.External agents for supporting the liver seem prudent,
but I hesitate to recommend anything in absence of knowing
what is wrong with the person.S
Thanks for responding, Steven. I’ll talk to her about the Deep Healing Qigong.
She got hepatitis C from a blood transfusion back in the 80’s. She received the liver transplant because she had a small tumor in her liver. When she got the new liver, the anti-rejection drugs suppressed her immune system, and the viral load of the hepatitis C went off the charts before they took her off the drugs. By then, the new liver was damaged. They put her on interferon to bring the viral load down, which helped. She became extremely anemic from the drugs that she was taking with the interferon. There is a lot of fluid collecting in her abdomen, apparently from her liver, and they have to drain this more and more frequently. Due to the fluids, she is very uncomfortable and can’t eat much. She is on the list for another liver at this point.
She has an incredibly strong will, but she is wavering at this point. She is a dear friend, and I would like to help.
My heart goes out to you and your friend.
I’ll strongly recommend the Deep Healing Qigong once again.
I’m not a medical doctor, so I can’t offer any “official” medical
advice . . . but I can give you some “unofficial” advice–as I
assume no responsibility for her care.In my opinion, she needs to deal with the infection first off.
It should be clear that just getting another liver with the
virus still in place will just repeat the pattern of increased
viral load attacking the new liver.Thus, lots of Deep Healing Qigong to *support* the body to heal
itself is crucial.There are also some herbal supports that I think would
be essential to consider.Have your friend consider (under doctor’s care) taking
Milk Thistle capsules (an herb) and Schizandra (a Chinese herb).
Milk Thistle is great at protecting the liver, helping the liver
remove toxins, and regenerate damaged liver cells; Schizandra is
great for attacking viral hepatitis. Eating carrots is also beneficial.
Carrots are one of the number one foods that help the liver–not only
protecting, but reversing damage.There are other things such as Dandelion flowers and root; and Goji juice;
and others that she may want to add also–but I’d at least consider
the Milk Thistle, Schizandra, and eating carrots if nothing else is
tried.Things to support the immune system like Ginger (anti-viral), etc.
would be beneficial.Yes, you risk causing the body to reject the liver with a stronger
immune system, but the liver is being rejected anyway by all the
viral toxins–better to deal with the virus, in my opinion.In terms of qigong and meditation, in addition to the Deep Healing
Qigong, I’d recommend not only Inner Smile to the whole body, but
focused Inner Smile to the liver–connecting the liver to the body
–not only to help support the liver in its difficult duty of
removing all the toxins and the viral assault, but also to help
the body welcome the liver as an ally to work on the same team
and discourage any self-immune transplant rejection.Her situation is a difficult one, and will require a lot
of courage and strength on her part–and *belief* that she *can*
heal herself.Once again, I’m not a licensed medical doctor, so I can
assume no responsibility to any positive or negative result
of either taking or ignoring the suggestions given, but
if it were me, what I suggested above is what I would consider
doing for myself.My best to you,
SThank you, Steven, for your recommendations. Ill pass them on to my friend and get her started on the Deep Healing Qigong and focused Inner Smile this weekend. I agree with you that a sincere belief in her ability to heal herself is needed at this time.
I deeply appreciate your response and caring.
I thought you may enjoy this.
