Liver cirrhosis is a severe degenerative disease of organ tissues, during which the destruction of hepatocyte cells occurs, followed by the replacement of functional tissues with scar tissues. The result is a gradual but inevitable decline in liver function.
Today, cirrhosis is not considered an absolutely lethal disease, while maintaining the correct lifestyle and undergoing an optimal course of treatment (most often we are talking about lifelong medication), a person can live to a ripe old age without feeling much discomfort.
Norman Walker's Vegetable Juice Recipe
Norman Walker is an American scientist, naturopath, pioneer in the field of vegetable juice and healthy eating. According to various sources, he lived from 99 to 119 years.
Norman Walker's recipes are based on natural vegetable juice blends:
Recipe number 1. Take carrots, cucumbers and beets in a 10: 3: 3 combination. Pass through a juicer and drink.
Recipe number 2. Take carrots and spinach in a 10: 6 ratio. Pass through a juicer and drink.
Recipe number 3. Just add 1-2 tablespoons of black radish juice to carrot juice, which is also very useful for inflammation and cirrhosis of the liver, toxic hepatitis.
Are there any restrictions on the use of juices?
There are no explicit restrictions on the use of juices. You can drink them as much as you want. However, in order to achieve a quick therapeutic effect, it is necessary to drink at least 600 grams of juice during the day. There is no upper limit. The optimal consumption of juice is about 1-4 liters per day. The limitation in this case concerns only the amount of fluid consumed per day. That is, you need to drink just enough so as not to overload the heart and kidneys.
The effect of using vegetable juices is achieved due to the content of enzymes and microelements in fruits. To preserve all the nutrients, juices must be prepared only from fresh vegetables. The cooking method is equally important. The best way to prepare juices is by grinding.
What you need to be aware of when using natural juices?
When using juices for therapeutic purposes, it is important to keep a few guidelines in mind:
- Be patient. Juices help cleanse the body and restore the functions of organs (especially the liver). In the first days and even weeks, there may be unpleasant phenomena from the digestive tract, for example, from the intestines. This only testifies to the effectiveness of the purification carried out.
-
In the minds of the average person, juicing can be harmful, as juices paint the skin an unnatural color. Especially a similar opinion is ingrained about carrot juice. Of course, this is not true. A yellowish tint to the skin is given by excess bile, which is released by the liver as a result of taking juices (a cleansing process takes place). If the skin after taking the juices turns a different color, this only means that the excretory organs are not yet able to cope with the elimination of such an amount of substance. Over time, everything will return to normal.
- At the end of the treatment with natural juices, it is important to continue to adhere to a healthy lifestyle and eat right. Otherwise, all results will come to naught. It is especially important to adhere to this recommendation for patients with liver cirrhosis, since for them it is a matter of vital importance.
Milk thistle for liver cirrhosis
One of the most effective natural remedies for liver diseases, even as serious as cirrhosis, milk thistle. Milk thistle has a pronounced regenerative effect due to the presence of flavolignan substances in the composition. At home, treatment with this remedy is carried out in the form of taking tea based on seeds and herbs of the plant.
Prepare herbal tea as follows: a teaspoon of crushed plant seeds is mixed with a teaspoon of crushed milk thistle herb. The resulting mixture is filled with hot water (about 200 ml). Then you need to leave the product to infuse for 15 minutes. Strain the infusion. The product should be taken 3 times a day (in the morning on an empty stomach, before lunch and in the evening before bedtime), one cup. If you mix milk thistle tea with peppermint tea, you can enhance the healing effect of the milk thistle itself.

Turmeric Reduces Inflammatory Damage to Liver Cells
Turmeric effectively treats inflammatory liver damage. Such a powerful anti-inflammatory effect is achieved due to the high content of a special polyphenol in the composition of turmeric and at the same time an antioxidant - curcumin. As you know, the development of a stable autoimmune reaction is the cornerstone of the formation mechanism of liver cirrhosis. As a result of primary damage to liver cells (viruses, toxic substances), a specific protein produced by hepatocytes takes on antigenic properties. The immune system mistakes the protein for an invader and produces antibodies against the protein while simultaneously attacking hepatocytes. The lipids contained in the liver are oxidized under the influence of substances produced by antibodies, which leads to the rapid destruction of organ tissues.
Curcumin has a pronounced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, due to which the destruction of liver tissue does not occur, despite the fact that the immune response continues. In addition, curcumin promotes an accelerated outflow of bile, which means that it eliminates the development of stagnation in the liver and gallbladder.
To improve the condition of the liver, it is necessary to prepare the following composition: 1 teaspoon of grated turmeric (powder) is diluted in a glass of warm boiled water, honey is added for taste. The product should be taken 0.5 cups 2 times a day before meals.
Elecampane and dandelion juice
Elecampane root is also an effective remedy against liver cirrhosis. At the initial stages of the development of cirrhosis (compensated cirrhosis), you need to take an infusion of elecampane.
Infusion of elecampane. One and a half tablespoons of chopped elecampane should be poured with half a liter of water. The resulting mixture should be heated over low heat for 30 minutes. At the end, the infusion should be infused for 10-15 minutes and filtered. Take 2-3 times a day half an hour before meals in a glass. The duration of treatment is 10 days.
Dandelion juice
Dandelion juice is a good tool for removing toxins from the liver, which means that the speed of regeneration is increased. This long-known and proven drug should be taken 2-3 tablespoons on an empty stomach. Dandelion leaves are also beneficial due to their high magnesium and potassium content for detoxification.
Garlic for the liver
Another well-known recipe is that garlic perfectly removes toxins from the liver, contributing to the rapid regeneration of organ tissues.
Let's talk about two ways to use it:
- One clove of garlic must be crushed and mixed with a quarter cup of kefir. The resulting composition should be drunk every morning before meals.
- There is another way to consume garlic. It is necessary to cut 2 cloves of garlic every morning and pour them with a glass of boiling water, leave for 24 hours and drink in the morning. And so every day for a month or two.
