This made my day. Lucy you look great, have you read/investigate about sulforaphane?

Hi again, I hope you're not too busy. I wanted to ask, what dietary habits, exercises, yoga routines, or any other practices do you believe were most effective in combatting SPECIFICALLY this malignancy in the liver?

my answer has to be set in the context that I think the liver is in many ways the most important organ. If it had anything wrong with it, it will come out some other way in your body so paying close attention to small signs elsewhere (bloating, haemorrhoids, yeast infections, the list is nearly endless) and acting to relieve those symptoms through addressing your liver would be my plan A. In my case, I had liver metastases and I knew I had a lot of toxins running through my body that my liver needed to clear like chemotherapy drugs, and also dying cancer cells. Key things I did were modify my diet and lifestyle to ensure that I had minimal additional incoming toxins that needed to be cleared. Exercise helps your body get clear of all toxins so I did my 10,000 steps every day. I even did this during chemo and think that was probably the most critical time to have done it. I took a lot of carrot juice in particular in the periods after chemotherapy (I could not do smoothies which made me vomit!) as this makes your liver very slippery and makes it easier for the liver to expel dying cancer cells and chemo drugs. Drinking 2 litres of water a day is also a key thing. Discovering the yoga routines in the liver video I made were brilliant as the twisting and squishing of my liver really helped with the pain in my liver - although to date it has not yet shown on the scan. You can regenerate or regrow your entire liver which I think is amazing. I have a friend who had a huge percentage of his liver covered in metastases and operated to remove one half. It grew back. He then operated to remove the other half. Metastases in liver almost completely gone. Not many surgeons would agree to do this but he did find one privately and that has been working for him alongside chemo for a number of years. Your liver is good at growing back so it's about ensuring you stop any excess additional toxins coming in - some are inevitable and chemotherapy drugs can be beneficial! - and allowing your body to heal. Hope this helps. First stage is working out how your liver is affected though and that's a tough one because it means looking at all those small things, your blood results and doing the detective work. Hope this helps. X

​@@SheDaresLIVEThank you so much for your thoughtful response and the time you took to provide it. I really appreciate your insights. In my dad's case, the chemo is not an option anymore... it wasn't working on the metastases (due a chemoresistance) on his liver (he got removed the main one on the pancreas' head) So, we are looking for seconds opinions, or try to keep it under control by diet and exercises. They doctor that saw my dad are saying that they can't do more (they used just 2 chemo programs) and no alternativies (surgery, radiation, etc) are avaiable. (again.. aaccording to them) Your words have brought me comfort and insight. Thank you again

@@danielaisabel5096 yes that’s a very similar position as mine was. As I did it, he can do it too. It’s a lot more work to do it this way. I’d try and work on improving gut biome as a plan A - maximum diversity of plant based ingredients - but so many other things. What does your dad want to do? What are his thoughts and how does he feel about a dramatic change because that’s a key criteria. Creon is also very important. Xxx

Lucy, how've you been getting on with your homemade muesli ? I found when I was still eating nuts I could barely digest them, even with the Creon. Also had the same problem with mushrooms of all things. I would have thought mushrooms would be easily digestible but not for me.

Yes. It's very annoying. :( Mildly spicy things like garam masala etc is ok, I find it is really just chillis which are a complete no-no.

Have you looked into high dose EPA omega 3, l cartinine and HBT, these apparently help with cachexia

@SheDaresLIVE

I'm very nervous of high dose anything. I rather do normal dosages of lots of different things. I love omega 3 but I have the type made of algae not fish oil because of potential toxins in fish. I think that's important for proper brain function. I haven't looked into or done L-carnitine. Do you mean Hyperbaric therapy for HBT? This has been recommended to me by lots of people but its super expensive and that puts me off. I did buy my own Exercise with Oxygen Therapy set up and used this quite a lot before chemotherapy and after the first chemotherapy. I liked it. I'm not sure I swear by it (and I know I'm really anal but I didn't like that my smart watch didn't count my steps while I was doing it). I never had cachexia though I lost a lot of weight, I had a lot of weight to lose and it just stabilised at the right BMI. xxx

@@SheDaresLIVE sorry I meant to say hmb. It's cheap and helps build muscle. L cartinine is also good for cachexia. EPA doses at 2000mg is good too
