get over me geeeesh.
Yeah whatever I have a crush on you...if that floats your boat you're entitled to the fantasy. In any case you still needed to be bitch slapped. Now that we got that out of the way I'll respond.
As to your friend I am very skeptical that his "cycle" is causing his liver failure. Liver "failure" is divided into types depending on the rapidity of onset. Acute liver failure develops rapidly, but chronic liver failure may take months or years to develop. By definition, liver failure occurs when the liver is so diseased, and functioning so poorly, that encephalopathy (look it up) is evident.
As to what can he do?? It depends hasn't his doctor given him any treatments? Any treatment involves correcting any underlying cause, if this is possible and you said from AAS so that's out of the question IF that is/was the casue. Even when the cause is identified and treated, the progression to complete liver failure may be irreversible so again we need more information to answer your question and again I truly think it's a bunch of bull shit.
The liver is a very resilient organ. It has remarkable powers of regeneration and the body can withstand the loss of over two thirds of the normal liver quite easily. So I'm not really buying it that a 2 month cycle is killing him and causing liver failure, but again I will answer what "he can do".
In this case, steps must be taken to slow down the decline of liver function. Restrict his diet, avoid sodium like the plague, and they are doing liver dialysis in the U.S. (well actually it's almost at the end of approval by the FDA as a treatment modality) and if he's young he has the option of a tranplant.
Meanwhile medications, such as lactulose, can be given to relieve the symptoms of liver failure. It will help him remove ammonia. When his ammonia levels go up he'll become incoherent. I know I witnessed this personally and it was very sad.
