A member asked:
Is there anything that can help a damaged liver heal itself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Generally "nature" takes its course and the liver can recover from many diseases. One key is to not take any liver toxins such as alcohol while the liver is healing. It depends why the liver is damaged, to know if it is likely to heal. The liver has an excellent capacity to regenerate if nutrition is good.
