Hi Mariella,

This is a cleanse I haven't heard of before. I'll have to check it out. What else do you eat or drink? Or is it only these pills? For 15 days?

Been using the Dr Max Powers 15 Day Cleanse for 3 years now (about 3 x per year) and I am SO happy I discovered it on the internet. I had never been regular even as a child, but these pills work magic for me. I'm guaranteed results the next morning. No cramps or other problems, just good results.

In the past 3 days I have lost 6 pounds of waste. My appetite is down and I feel great. I'm taking 2 pills a day, 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. There is no stomach cramping, although my stomach has made a couple of growling noises at me..giving me a warning that it is time to go to the bathroom..but other than that..no real problems

Looking forward to more waste (weight) loss...hip-hip-hooray!!! I definitely recommend them for women looking for a great cleanse to do!

Hi Melanie,

Some people make this a lifestyle change to keep their liver healthy. An example of this is the Hallelujah Diet. The founder, George Malkmus, made such a dietary change 40 years ago and has never gone back. You can read more here:

How long do you typically stay on this diet? Are there any guidelines/recommendations?

Hi Cassandra,

It's always best to check with your doctor before starting any diet, but in general this diet should work to help get your liver healthy again. In most instances, treatment of fatty liver requires control of underlying conditions that cause it like high blood triglycerides, diabetes, and obesity.

Since being overweight is a critical factor, weight loss will help rid the liver of fat and this diet should help bring that about.

Hi again Ritesh,

There are medical options for treatment of Hepatitis B. You can read more here, to learn more so you can ask your doctor about your options.

Hi Retish,

Being a vegetarian is a plus for your liver because you want to avoid fatty and oily foods. The diet for a healthy liver emphasizes dark green leafy vegetables, fresh sprouts, beets (including the greens), all fresh vegetables, whole grains, seeds, and raw almonds. You'll want to concentrate on an Alkaline Diet. Fruits to help with this include: 

* lemons
* grapefruits
* cherries
* apples

On the flip side, these foods should be avoided because they are difficult or down right impossible for the liver to digest: 

* Alcohol
* Fried, fatty and oily foods
* Full fat cheeses
* Excess animal fats.
* Processed foods that are loaded with food additives and preservatives
* Butter
* Cream
* Rich fatty foods
* Chocolate
* Sugar
* Caffeine
* Dairy foods except for soured, cultured products like yogurt and buttermilk

Hi Paula,

If you want to improve your health it will require change: eating vegetables. The diet for a healthy liver emphasizes dark green leafy vegetables, fresh sprouts, beets (including the greens), all fresh vegetables, whole grains, seeds, and raw almonds. You'll want to concentrate on an Alkaline Diet. Fruits to help with this include:

  • lemons
  • grapefruits
  • cherries
  • apples

On the flip side, these foods should be avoided because they are difficult or down right impossible for the liver to digest:

  • Full fat cheeses
  • Excess animal fats.
  • Processed foods that are loaded with food additives and preservatives
  • Butter
  • Cream
  • Rich fatty foods
  • Chocolate
  • Sugar
  • Caffeine
  • Dairy foods except for soured, cultured products like yogurt and buttermilk

Stay in touch with your doctor regarding any supplementation you make to your diet because liver disease is serious and requires medical attention.

Hi Ralph,

Some people claim that following a liver cleansing diet has worked for them, others suggest adding Milk Thistle to the diet helps to bring SGPT levels down. SGPT is an enzyme normally found in liver and heart cells when the liver or heart are damaged or as the result of some medications. A high SGPT can be a can even be caused by common medications like aspirin and Tylenol. Check with your doctor and see what he/she recommends.

Hi Mark,

General dietary advice for people with hepatitis C is much the same as healthy guidelines offered for the average person looking to eat right. This includes:

  • Eating regular, balanced meals
  • Eating plenty of cereals, breads, and grains
  • Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables
  • Including adequate protein
  • Restrict consumption of fatty, salty, and sugary foods
  • Drink enough fluids
  • Maintain a healthy weight (lose weight if you need to)
  • Avoid alcohol
  • Be careful with dietary supplements

As always, it's a good idea to check with your doctor for recommendations regarding diet because he will be aware of your medical history.

Thanks, diagnosed with chronic hep c a couple of years ago during a routine physical from the blood test. Presently not experiencing problems, but understand prognosis. I also like my beer, which I have slowed, but not stopped. Anyway, looking for ways to extend my existence. I'm healthy, work out regularly and really don't eat much, cereal and pop tarts in the morning, protein shake with honey, fruits, yogurt, etc. for lunch, modest supper and maybe ice cream or peanut butter and crackers for a late snack. God bless!

Hi Cassandra,

I'm not a medical person, but from research I've learned that there are 3 common tests that run with the one sample of blood:

  • Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) - Directly checks for the presence of virus. If positive for the hepatitis B infection the may have to be repeated to confirm whether you have a chronic infection.
  • Hepatitis B surface Antibody (HBsAb or anti-HBs) - tests for the "surface antibody" that your immune system makes to fight off the virus. Results will be positive if you have recovered from Hepatitis B, but the test will also show positive if you've received the vaccine. This antibody protects you for life against any future hepatitis B infections.
  • Hepatitis B core Antibody (HBcAb or anti-HBc) - tests for the core antibody which does not protect you. Results from this test can only be interpreted in relation to the above two tests.

I have been immunized against HepB because of working in the health care industry. I was recently tested positive for Hep C but more indepth viral panels should absolutely no anti-bodies. Is there a correlation between being immunized and testing positive in these simple blood panels?

Hi Amanda,

Hepatitis C is one is one of five identified hepatitis viruses—hepatitis. The others are A, B, D, and E, and they all can cause liver damage. Most experts agree that hepatitis C (HCV) is one of the most serious of the five and can eventually cause cirrhosis, liver cancer, or liver failure.

Once diagnosed with Hepatitis C, the Center for Disease Control recommends the following dietary changes:

  • Stop using alcohol.
  • Don't start any new medicines
  • Don't use over-the-counter, herbal, or other drugs without consulting with a doctor

Other than that experts present conflicting information. However, it's important to know that diets designed to cleanse the liver help to eliminate toxins that effect the liver's ability to function, however they do not cure Hepatitis C.

I have Hep-C, I have been following Dr. Cabots diet on/off for a while. What can your diet do for those with Hep-C.

Hi Jessy,

Detox symptoms can be miserable. They can include:

  • Clogged sinuses
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Cough
  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Flu or cold like symptoms
  • Gas
  • Headache
  • Irritability
  • Moodiness
  • Rashes
  • Stomachache

As you go through detox, remember that you will feel better than ever once the detox is complete. Rest is the best thing you can do for yourself at this time. How long it will take depends on how many toxins are stored in your liver. As you liver becomes more effective, the store of toxins will be processed and moved out. If your detox symptoms are too much, you may want to talk to your nutritionist about proceeding through the detoxification process at a more manageable rate. Headaches can last from 1-10 days.

-- Contributed by: Donna Sundblad

Please help me! I am on a detox diet by my nutritionist and the headaches and nasea are massive! Is the only cure for this water and if so, when would you expect this feeling to subside? I am only 26 years old, don't drink or smoke and have a pretty good diet.

Hi Panty,

Glad to hear a LSD (Low Sodium Diet) has improved your well-being. Our bodies required sodium to maintain an exact water balance. Wheat many people don't understand is that the required amount is only about 50 to 400 mg per day. Those who don't pay attention to their sodium intake may not realize they are consuming about 25 – 30 times that much if they are an average American. Normally, this excess salt consumption is not necessarily dangerous for healthy individuals, but it can create problems for some.

-- Contributed by: Donna Sundblad

I just loved the LSD diet! I was cured of my acne, low energy(especially in the morning) and poor digestion, i recommend it any day.
