Liver healed

Hi Dr. Berg, I want to share my story of liver turnaround. I live in UK and 2.5 years back, I had a blood test for some other issue(vitiligo). I am 173 cm tall and was at 74 KGs. My ALT and AST levels were found to be elevated. I was referred to a liver specialist and they did an ultrasound and liver biopsy. The ultrasound showed a reading of 13.4! The biopsy concluded that I have liver scarring at the advanced stage(with bridging). The next stage was cirrhosis.

The doctor told me that the reading beyond 18 is cirrhosis. I was very scared. I was given a diet chart by the doctors with food classified as low-fat, medium-fat, and high-fat food. I was told to stick to low-fat items and get a blood test done after 2 months. I ate virtually boiled curries and rice/bread and not a single drop of oil/ghee/butter.

After 2 months, my triglycerides were even more elevated suggesting the liver has gone worst as well. Then I started researching since it was a danger to my life. I got all kinds of conflicting information on the internet. But I kept digging and finally, after about 2 weeks, keto made sense to me with proper explanation.

Your youtube channel helped a lot. I switched to full keto and my hunger went away quickly, so I went to 2 meals a day. For the last 1 year, I am on 1 meal a day(late evening) now comfortably. 1 year after starting healthy keto, my liver reading came down to 9.2 and weight to 68 kg. Then in the next 6 months, my liver reading was 7.7 and my weight to 66 kg. Now(measured 8 months back) I am at 64 kg and my liver reading is 5.2.

Doctors were very happy to see the progress. I am using the following supplements too: morning - choline, Inositol, ALA, milk thistle, apple cider vinegar, black coffee, hydrolyzed collagen powder(bovine), wheatgrass juice powder, aloe vera juice, nutritional yeast, benfotiamine, cod liver oil, potassium citrate. Evening - magnesium citrate, zinc, Vitamin D3, K2 MK7, NAC, copper, sauerkraut.

I still have vitiligo and I am trying to reverse it. 1 more miracle that happened is that I had solar urticaria(extreme sunlight allergy) which got fixed 1 year after starting keto. It was a big relief. The allergy was the reason how vitiligo started. Now I can go out in the sun without issues. I have temporarily stopped vitamin D3 and K2 1 month back since my vitamin D reading was 217 nmol/L and it was suggested that above 200 is not good. My calcium reading is ok probably because of balanced D3 and K2. I am not. sure if vitamin D elevated levels is an issue if calcium reading is fine.
