Treatment Natural
Does anyone have any information. on the natural treatment for primary biliary cirrhosis?
My mother had this disease for 10 years. It is progressing. Few doctors know much about it. Experts do not have a good prognosis. I'm looking for natural remedy or someone who has come through results of new research on this disease.
Here is a link to an organization that does research on this disease: http://www.pbcers.org/default_files/page0038.htm The drug most commonly used is ursodeoxycholic acid ursodiol … (General) that helps carry bile through the main ducts of the liver. For more about this medication, click on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursodiol Another remedy is Cholestyramine (Questran) … that helps relieve itching. Prednisone is also used to prevent inflammation. Http: / / www.drugs.com / ppp / cholestyramine.html There are many other drugs that are newly developed that doctors know. Some suppress the immune system. Primary biliary cirrhosis is an autoimmune disease. This means that the patient's own immune system attacks the cells of the bile ducts … do Not Really understand why this happens. All I can do is ERCP, which extend the bile ducts to open more or administer medication to help better bile flow. This disease may later change to sclerosing cholangitis. This is where the bile ducts become twisted and stenotic in nature. Something like as a coiled garden hose. Most liver patients and people with impaired bile says he does not take any medications not approved or prescribed by their doctors. Too much can interact with drugs that doctors can give and can cause more damage to the cells. If you want the best doctors: Enter the state where you live and "Transplant Center" after that. Many transplant centers have doctors listed on their websites. Want a hepatologist there. They are high in his field of research, new developments and known to the liver / biliary tract better.
