Guest guest Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Hi all, I have been recently diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the Liver. I also have a family history of liver diseases, from fatty liver to liver hepatitis, we have it all in the family. Recently, I came across this ayurvedic product Liv.52 made by the Himalaya company. I have researched this liver health supplement thoroughly at http://www.liv52.com . I just wanted to see if anybody here has used this product for liver problems? I definitely sound convincing. Input is appreciated. Thanks. Dev Ashish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I have used Liv 52 for a very long time. It is really very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priitaa Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 That link lead to a place to read about Liv 52, but not to buy it. I need this too. Does anyone have a link where I can purchase it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priitaa Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I found the place to buy it, but its overseas! I can't wait that long, and I wonder about postage anyway. Does anyone have a link to buy it in America? Also, is this product any better than Milk Thistle? After all, Milk Thistle has also been scientifically tested and has saved the lives of those who ate the poisonous Death Cap Mushroom, for example. ???

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I was able to purchase this from Whole Food Market store in Houston. I don't see this product on their website. If you have this retail store in your city, you might want to check there. -visitor 123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priitaa Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Thanks, but that is the same link I went to which is overseas. I'll try a net search later for the Whole Food Market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Did you try store locator option on the website? There are many other stores that carry this product. -visitor123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priitaa Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I nearly ordered it. That's when I realized its all the way in India, which is cool, but I use to import from India and know how long it can take to get a product. I didn't know tho, that they had a store locator option. I'll have to check that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 I have found a good website to purchase Liv.52. It is at the following link: www.herbal-provider.com - Liv.52 They are based in New Jersey. When I ordered from them, my shipment arrived in two days! Good luck! Excellent place for more information on Liv.52 is Liv.52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priitaa Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 WOW Thanks! I'm going to order this today or tomorrow at the latest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priitaa Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I have found a good website to purchase Liv.52. It is at the following link: www.herbal-provider.com - Liv.52 They are based in New Jersey. When I ordered from them, my shipment arrived in two days! Good luck! Excellent place for more information on Liv.52 is Liv.52 I received it! And it arrived quickly, as you said. Too soon to tell if its helping me, but it feels right. I read the link on Liv.52 and its very convincing, but it sounded like you have to take a ton of it to get that resullts. I think I read something like 20-22 Gms daily? Two tablets is only 1.20 G, and you only get 60 tablets. I wonder what is the lowest dose that has been reported one can take, and still get those results?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 in traditional chinese medicine herbs are ranked by order pf importance ,#1 is reishi mushroom, or in chinese ling qi or chi,reishi is the japanese name ,pronounced rishi,considered to be the most powerfull herb with mystical qualities named after rishi's or holy men. in clinical studies reishi has been proven to be what the chinese and japanese tradition claims,it is a powerfull liver medicine, and highly recommended,also it has been shown to be very effective with cancer.

Priitaa Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Shiva, I've never heard of Rishi being specific for liver, whereas this Liv 52 is an Ayurveic formula. But could you tell me anything more about Rishi and liver? I know about it in general, tho its been a long time since I've studied up on it cuz its a stimulant, and I have to keep my immune system balanced, not stimulated.

Kalki Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Banyan Botanicals carries a few formulas which are good for liver disorders, they are also vegitarian. The herb Bhumy Amalaki is said to be superior in reviving the liver. http://www.banyanbotanicals.com/ Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Priitaa Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Thakns prabhu, I'll check it out. They are vegetarian. Bud I discovered they use Tulasi in some of their herbal products! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 you must be confusing reishi with another herb,it's not a stimulant. it's main attribute is in fact liver problems, in china it's called the elixer of immortality, and respected above all other medicines,in clinical studies it has shown great success in hepatitis and other liver problems,as well as cancer, taken in combination with other herbs(but mostly reishi mycelium extract) like maitake,shitake,ginseng,aswagandha,astragalus,ginger, schizandra etc, will give even more benefit.

Priitaa Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hmmmmm Not sure what to think. I took it once, then went in for my blood tests, which came back worse. Then someone told me thats cuz Rishi is a stimulant. Now, I dont mean a stimulant like tobacco or marijuana. ha No. But that it "stimulates the immune system." Many don't understand this, but when someone has an autoimmune disease (and there are many out there, not just Aids. Even diabetes is an autoimmune disease, as is rheumatioid arthritis, etc.) .... anyway, to stimulate the immune system of someone with an autoimmune diseaes causes it to further attack the part all ready over stimulated. For example, if in the case of diabetes, the body would furthher attack the pancrease if the immune system were stimulated. Balancing herbs are whats needed.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 It strengthens the immune system,as do the other herbs i mentioned. It thins the blood a bit,but is specifically used for liver ailments as a specialty. Do a google search you will see it recommended first and foremost as a liver medicine,it is good for the immune systemas are ginseng,astragalus etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalki Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 The best Herbs / Substances I know for liver disease are Bhumy Amalaki, Soya Lecithin and Vitamin C. There are others but these I've read give the best results. Sincerely, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priitaa Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Kalki, Thanks. I dont technically have liver disease, but thyroid disease. However, the liver converts what the thyroid makes, or is suppose to make. My liver isn't doing its job. Now soy, I no longer recomment that to anyone. Will get the web site to you later about how its no longer viewed as a health food, etc. But I take Triphala, Milk Thistle, Schizandra, and vit c as recommended. Now, Liv 52. Something's got to work! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priitaa Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Sorry this took me so long to get back here with this info. Below is the link to soy, one amongst many. Soy often is used to replace milk (soy milk, and I use to love carob VitaSoy!). However this, and most other soy products, have turned out not to be so good, and even, bad. I remember hearing that Vedically, soy is considered a lower class food. Has anyone else heard this? Anyway, if so, possibly thats a contributory reason for its ill health effects. (speculation) Just for the record, I am not a happy messenger of this bad news, so please don't kill the messenger. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Soy info: http://www.soyonlineservice.co.nz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
