Please answer in a way that reflects personal experience and do not advise or attack other people as not all things work for everyone as their bodily molecular processes, other medications, and comorbids… read more
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member Thanks for that input! I think dandelion greens are helping. I’m beginning to feel better. Sees tofu helps me feel better over meat and less heavy. I drank some kombucha from wool foods. Not sure how to safely make it. I love the taste instead of soda but it does have some carbs in it but not a lot.
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member,
I think I've mentioned this before, I start my day by squeezing a organic lemon and 2 limes into a 16oz glass, adding a spoon of sugar filling the glass with water and drinking it down. Although the last 2 days have been the exception, I usually don't eat foods out of a box AT ALL!( Reminds me of MRE's(meals ready to eat).
I am also a self professed forager and herbalist. I gather dandelions and roots, burdock root is especially good for liver and kidneys. I don't consume alcohol much(occasionally) nor do I drink soda pop. I drink Kombucha fairly regularly and make my own ginger and pineapple drink from fresh root & fruit as well as cranberry
I believe that taking a tbsp or 2 of ACV regularly helps clean the pipes and liver as well. I've been on what amounts to chemotherapy for 24 years! And I've brought my liver back to near normal numbers, as well as having my doctor discontinued my heart and stating drugs. My BP is normal, and my liver numbers are also WNL.
I believe that eating fresh veggies and limiting or eliminating processed foods is a big part. I just harvested Reishi and Chaga fungi! I go out into the forest daily to forage! I'm collecting young pine cones soon for syrup, and I have an abundance of fresh pine needles for a delicious antiinflammatory tea blend that I make.

That's interesting that olive oil and coffee is used to heal the liver. Thanks for sharing with me!
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Sorry I’m just now answering this. For liver scarring University of Chicago recommends 4 tablespoons extra Virgin cold,pressed,olive oil per day and lots,of aerobic exercise such as 5,000 steps a day. I only eat two tablespoons because I’m a short person and I fell 4 would make me gain weight. I also count my calories. Not all olive oil is good. Some is too old to do any good and some is fake. I buy Terra Delyssa cold pressed extra virgin olive oil from Walmart because it is dated on the bottle when it is picked and it has a QR code to trace it from farm to market. It lists the actual farms it comes from in Tunisia. It is reasonable price because their economy is so low and they are trying to get a new foot hold in the market. Also store it in a cool dark place and buy the smaller bottle so it doesn’t oxidize and lose its quality. You always want olive oil from the most recent harvest between the last October and February, as that is when it is harvested as cold pressed as in cold weather. Many olive oils do not have dates on them as to when harvested. Do not go by expiration date. The oil my still be ok to use but it will have lost its special compounds for liver healing. If it burns the back of the throat a little when swallowed the compounds are still in tact. Som people don’t like this taste. With time I have begun to like it. ItI have nothing to put it on I jut drink a tablespoon in the morning before having my coffee. It keeps my coffee from irritating my stomach. Then I have my 4 cups coffee which also helps the liver.
(Continued) Also all cirrhosis liver medical protocols say drink 4 cups coffee per day. Any kind, decaf, regular, brewed or instant. Black is better but even with milk is better than nothing. It keeps the portal vein open and has scarring reversal bioactive compounds in it., very important to do.
