I was diagnosed with AIH 4 years ago and at end stage fibrosis before cirrhosis. I would like to know what everyone is using to heal their fibrosis. Vitamins, etc. How have your liver biopsies been after the treatments or vitamin supplements?

I have been waiting for this appointment for over 3 months! He has a rare liver disease (PSC), and I am hoping that Dr. Berkson can help him. As of now there are no medical treatments for this disease. I have been very encouraged by all of the information that I have read on Dr. Berkson.

I went first in March 2011 and stayed for four weeks for ALA treatments, again last July for two weeks, and I am returning the end of this April for another two weeks. In the interim I have been getting two ALA treatments every two weeks from a local integrative doctor. And I've been on 3.0, then 4.5 LDN since I started at the clinic. I went for cancer, not Hep C, but the treatment room, which holds 14 people, was usually full of many Hep C patients, all of whom reported wonderful results from their treatments there. Most of them return periodically in order to keep up the improvement. Some were near death and are now healthy. I think of all the illnesses he treats, he has the most success with liver problems. I would recommend him highly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16275549272863943850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928060822570544568.post-62721429533756680332010-06-30T13:30:17.033-07:002010-06-30T13:30:17.033-07:00I agree with you Nola on that part...but what he s...I agree with you Nola on that part...but what he said to me and how he talked to me was very uncalled for....I am in no way wanting to get people to stop going to him....please go.....but when we are already down and fell lost it tough when we are spoken to in such a manner.....thank God for my dR.

GODS" who immediately dismiss anything alternative. If it wasn't taught to them in medical school, then it can't be any good - and I refuse to ever give them my business again.<br /><br />God bless Dr. Berkson for his ability to look outside of the box - which is what led him to help so many people in the first place.<br /><br />Nola ChrisNola Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04417070017780892124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928060822570544568.post-6906728177968555382010-06-30T13:10:35.566-07:002010-06-30T13:10:35.566-07:00I have been to see Dr. Berkson twice and now my Do...I have been to see Dr. Berkson twice and now my Doctor here will be doing treatments on me.<br /><br /> Dr .
