Healing Liver Cirrhosis

Dr. Surbhi & her husband are both practicing doctors in Bangalore.

Her mother’s family has been perennially over-weight, and for quite a long time she was ill-treated for acidity. One day out of the blue, she vomited half a bucket of blood...That's when she was diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis !!

The underlying cause was fat accumulation around her liver, which was further aggravated by diabetes.

For the doctors, there was only one solution: Liver Transplant. But as a doctor, Surbhi knew it was not an easy option at all, due to the complications involved around organ transplantation.

Herself a doctor, she believes that doctors are only trained for fire-fighting – they do not look for long term prevention.

Their thought-process revolves around - “How can I solve it immediately in the next 1 or 2 days" and do not think about solving the root cause.

Surbhi was told “Wait till your mother's symptoms deteriorate, then we can go for a transplant. Her liver is not coming back – she has maybe 2 to 5 years before she needs to replace it.”

Having associated with the Wellness Quotient community since sometime, she knew that a body is made up of good nutrients.

With the guidance from WQ coaches, she learnt how to turn around the situation through a combination of exercise, medication/supplements and lifestyle changes.

In the last 2 years, she saw her mom’s liver enzymes regenerating and eventually the liver is in much better shape now.

As a family, going through so much of frustration and anxiety, today they sleep peacefully, knowing that her mother is doing well.
