mom has- liver disease

[JWatts1980]

Hello,

             My Mother is in her 40’s, white female. She has had some form  liver disease for about 10+ years now, and now she has recently told me her liver is “unstable”  I am not sure exactly what type she has but I am here to learn more about it as I am really interested in her medical and overall health. She has two children, and two grandchildren.  Some background on her is she sleeps a lot, she is not physically fit and doesn’t exercise at all, a hard days shopping wipes her out and she goes directly to bed. She also has a really poor diet. I am concerned about her and need advice as I want her to be as healthy as possible, I have approached my father and we both think we should exercise or something together and do more physical activity, it is coming with a lot of resistance (anger) so far….. because she has never done this type of thing ever- so how do you think I can go about it from a third party to get her to finally listen and take us seriously – should I contact her doctor (is this adviseable?), I am sure she would listen to him, and I am sure he does not know her dietary/ physical fitness condition, as well as her constant sleeping. ?

I recently did some researching on colon cleansing products and found that it helps the liver detoxify and funciton better.  Check out the book The Liver Cleansing Diet by Sandra Cabot.  Good Luck.

is your mother overweight? does she suffer from any sort of depression? How about her red blood count is it low? is she very low in energy ? It appears to me that it might be something to do with her nervous system? yes i can see how you would be concerned and its great that you want to help it out., My advise would be to have a family meeting and sit down and let her know how much you care for her and that you are concerned for her. Ask her how the family can help her out. can maybe see about sceduling in some family activities which you can all take part in. About contacting the doctor that is up to you .. but due to patient doctor confidentlality im sure he would not tell you anything. Let her know that you are there for her! hope this helps Best wishes!
