Goji berry juice for liver failure?




My father has been in the hospital for almost two weeks because his liver has failed due to alcohol (alcoholic hepatitis). The doctors say there is not much they can do so we’ve been giving him alternative medicines like Goji berry juice and lemonade cleanse (lemon juice, maple syrup and Cayenne pepper). Does anyone know if these things could have an adverse effect on his health?
Thank you for your opinion Gary, the doctor told us he can’t give us his professional opinion on these things because he has no training on them, though he did say it’s okay to try them. So I guess we’re just reaching for the stars.

The Drug test is only screening for drugs in your system, not alcohol, right?

Ok, so i have a drug test tomorrow at 11am. About a week ago i bought a detox kit called Detox Value Pack. On the back it says to avoid all toxins up to 48 hours prior to having to take your drug test. Obviously i want to pass so i haven’t smoked marijuana (the reason i have to drug test) or drank any alcohol. The only thing im worried about is im a cigarette smoker too and it didn’t even cross my mind that that’d probably be considered a "toxin". I smoked a cigarette just an hour ago (under 24 hours till my drug test). If anyone has any experience with these detox drinks can you tell me if this is going to affect me passing this drug test? Thanks in advance.
Edit: Cigs did not affect my result, the detox drink worked in 1 hour. I took the pill it came with, drank the drink and i passed this morning! Oh and the guy who said drink lots of water was wrong, back of the drink said not to do that, just to drink your usual amount to stay hydrated. Which i did, and passed.

I may or may not have to take a drug test for my pre-employment. My friend is throwing a party and I wanna know if I can drink the night before.
Will they test for alcohol if i’m only 17?
Well thanks but I already got the job and I don’t know if i have to take the test. I really don’t need you judging me I just need an answer.

How long can a drug test detect alcohol?




I had a drink about 6 days ago and I had to take a drug test today. I only had one drink and it wasn’t strong. Mike’s Hard Lemonade with 5% alcohol. Is it possible for this to show up on the drug test?

Does anyone know if you can drink alcohol if you are taking 6 Merchaptopurine if you have Ulcerative Colitis? Alos I am currently in a "flare up" so my dosage went up a little bit. I use to drink and it didnt do any damage I’m just wondering if this little increase from 50mg to 75mg would have a negative effect? Thanks

What are the health effects on kidney donors?




Besides, of course, the immediate pain afterwards and recovery. How do kidney donors live out the rest of their lives? Can they drink alcohol, play sports? Is their life expectancy shortened? Are they more prone to disease?

A friend of mine had a heart transplant 8 years ago, and she just received a kidney. she is 20 years old. If she lives a healthy lifestyle without smoking, alcohol, gets good excercise, and keeps up with doctor appointments every few months and medicine, how long can she live for? It scares me when i read that a heart transplant recipient can expect to live up to 5 years after the surgery! she’s lived 8 years, and she is doing very well. But what can be expected?

Is Acai berry good to use for a liver cleanse?




I’ve been partying and drinking too much this summer and recently cut out alcohol for a bit. I want to do a fast/liver cleanse and have heard that Acai berry is a good antioxidant.

Is it safe to use Acai berry while you are fasting? Does anyone have any recommendations of fast/cleanses ?

I’m not interested in losing weight – I am in a healthy BMI range. I am using Acai berry only for it’s antioxidant purposes. Also, I don’t need to hear how unsafe fasts are or how disgusting drinking is, or how irresponsible and derelict it is to drink heavily for a few months and then starve yourself to rid your body of it’s toxins. I know, OK?

Liver Cleanse Question???? thanks.?




I am doing a liver cleanse w/ hot water and lemon. During this cleanse- I am not drinking any alcohol, no motrin, tylenol, etc…
My questions:

1. Is it okay that I only drink 3 cups of coffee throughout the day, will it interfer w/ the cleanse?

2. I’ve been getting pain/soreness in my lower back since I started the cleanse. Is that from the toxins in my body?

Thank you!
I am not using any other herbs. I heard that hot water and lemon are just as good from a Naturopath.

I don’t think 3 cups of coffee is a lot. Is it? It’s not like I’m getting 3 big cups from Starbucks or anything. Its mostly literally 3 8oz cups.
