R-ALA is amazing when it comes to liver problems. I used it for 2 months and my liver values when back to normal. Can't say the same about milk thistle.

I hope you get well soon. I had no idea there were guys on here, BONZ and Ulter, that decent. Keep us posted. Godspeed, Brother.

There are many more where that came from!

Very nice to hear! Good luck bro!

Maybe you should lay off training for a while? muscle damage puts stress on your liver as well, did you ask your doc about woking out?
Good luck to you!

I went for my ultra-sound on Monday. I didn't see the Liver specialist that day... the tech said he'd call me and set up an appointment when he got a chance to see my file. The swelling in my ankles and feet was better earlier in the week, but its considerably worse now. I'm also noticing some swelling in my upper quads and lower torso. Each morning, when I get out of bed, my eyes are swollen and jaundiced. However, my energy level is excellent, workouts are as good as ever, appetite's wicked as well. I'm holding steady at 200lbs 12%BF(5'11")... esentially, I've lost no strength or weight since I abandoned my cycle in the first week of October. My BF has gone up a bit, that's all.

I told my parents everything: When I started, how much I did, when I started to get sick. They were mad at first, but have subsequently given me 100% of their support.

EF member BONZ, mailed me an entire box of bottled Russian mineral water. He paid a fortune for the postage(glass bottles!). He says this stuff is recognized by people all over Europe for its Liver detoxification qualities. I've got enough to do a bottle/day for 3 weeks... I'm already on it. BONZ did this out of the goodness of his heart. An incredible, heart felt, thank you BONZ.

Ulter sent me several bottles of r-ALA. It arrived here on Thursday, but I wasn't home for their 1st or 2nd delivery attempt. I'm going to their office on Monday to pick it up. Thanks Ulter, another great Bro.

Thanks to everyone for the amazing words of encouragement I received last week. You are ALL, incredible people.

I am wondering if continued weight training may not be a good idea. The liver has to deal with some of the waste products from hard exercise ,and I am also afraid that training may use up valuable recuperation powers from your system.
What does your doctor say about continued intense exercise at this point?

Real- I haven't asked him about(not)working out. He certainly knows I'm still training, but hasn't given me any advice in relation to this. Keep in mind, I haven't seen the Liver specialist yet.

If I give up my workouts, I'll for sure fall into a deep depression... I can't imagine that would be benificial to my physical recovery. I need to stay positive. It seems(these days at least), the only thing I enjoy anymore is my time in the gym.

This morning, I have remarkable swelling in the lower abdominals... I've had flat stomach with a "4 pack" for months. Now I'm all puffy, right where my bladder would be. This can't be a good sign. I'll pick up my r-ALA from UPS tomorrow... can't wait to start that up.
