7 days ago today for me. The hardest part is the larger incision. I've had no nausea whatsoever and the only pain is from the larger incision that isnt bad at all. From the start of the 2 week liver shrinkage diet plus 1 week post op, I have lost 30lbs.
My brother was staying with me a couple of Christmases ago. Took a sharp pain in that area the a couple of days before his flight home. Ignored it as he didn't want to miss his flight etc as he had work. Ended up in excruciating pain on his way to the airport and had to be rushed to hospital. Appendix burst and he was in hospital for a month. Doctor reckoned if he had waited another few hours it would have killed him. Don't take any chances with something like this.
Oh it's to the right of the body? I'm feeling it to the left. Good news, I might not have appendicitis... Bad news is I'm gonna be stuck in the toilet if it is what I'm thinking...
What an awesome journey it has been. Coming across Dr Igudia RU-vid channel has been a testimony. Finally got rid of Hepatitis B Infection. Thank for your service and dedication, you are a blessing to us Dr Igudia, Gratitude.
I was able to reverse my stage IV lung cancer via an exclusively botanical process. I wasn’t home for Christmas in 2020: I was in the hospital with mysterious respiratory symptoms, and a stubborn “walking pneumonia” that hadn’t responded to antibiotics or steroids. The new year brought further challenges. Just after New Year’s Day 2021, I received a phone call with the official news that I had been diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. I’d had a biopsy while I was in the hospital, so I knew cancer was a possibility. It seemed so impossible, though. All I knew about lung cancer was its association with smoking, and I had never smoked. I didn’t know anyone with lung cancer or anyone who’d experienced it in their family, or so I thought. I felt alone and didn’t know where to go for help. At first I got most of my information from my doctors and was fortunate to have access to specialists at some of the top cancer centers in the country. When an oncologist told me that my cancer was Stage IV, that I was not a candidate for surgery and that my cancer was not curable, I was devastated. I will always be grateful to Dr. Harry Abeng - the African herbal practitioner who reversed my poor condition within the first few months I had undergone his natural herbal treatment. He was patient, compassionate, and knowledgeable. With his help I came to understand that even if chemotherapy couldn't have helped my case, his naturopathic herbal medication resolved the problem without any side effects. When standard chemotherapy hadn't seemed to be helping me, Dr. Harry Abeng encouraged me to try his recommended naturopathic treatment,of which I had done within a short period of time only to discover how effective his natural medication can be. This African herbal practitioner had revived my poor condition miraculously. His herbal tinctures were able to slow down the spread of the cancer thus, improving my overall wellbeing . Within a couple of months of undergoing this naturopathic treatment recommended by this African herbal doctor - the symptoms such as persistent cough, hemoptysis, severe chest pains and shortness of breath, which came frequently, completely ceased to occur. I was very surprised at the positive change and had undergone another test only to confirm that the tumor had miraculously shrunk to a satisfactory result. My oncologist told me that by some inexplicable means the metastatic tumors were absent and as such my lung was in perfect shape. I was at a loss, however, I was grateful I had made a rational move as to have sought alternative measures in improving my condition. It has been a year now since my oncologist had confirmed that I am cancer-free and with so much joy in my heart I wish to use this opportunity to pass this piece of information across to anyone who may be facing the challenges of cancer and may come across the information that there is just the right naturopathic treatment for reversing lung cancer. In contrary to chemotherapy, this naturopathic remedy has proven to exhibit potent effect in eradication of lung tumors. For anyone suffering from the challenges of cancer - now is the right time to put an end to the sufferings.

Thank you and God bless you for removing my persistent bad breth from stomach when taking & Gerd/Acid reflux symptoms completely when I came across Dr.Ohanon🍓🍓
i feel for this guy. i've been dealing with a similiar issue for almost a year and i sure i been misdiagnosed with GERD. somedays it is very hard to swallow anything with it getting stuck or acid coming back up. i'm only 25 and it is hard to deal with some days. seeing others eat all they want or eat anything they can while i can barely have a meal or not be able to eat what i want in fear of it getting stuck or scared to eat in general. i been losing weight and it is very hard to live with this condition, and others not knowing the pain i go through in everyday life. who knew taking swallowing food is taken for granted and how others are so lucky to not have to deal with this condition. some days i just wish i can go back to normal and have a meal i been wanting for so long and not have to deal with the repercussions.
not gonna lie, reading the comments and seeing this video does bring me to tears. knowing im not the only one dealing with this condition does make me feel better. knowing there is hope in dealing with this condition and it can get better. i do wish i can be helped soon.

My husband just got off ECMO a few days ago, if it was not for that technology he may not be with us today. Doctors told us he almost lost his life. I credit all the doctors and nurses, for caring,, loving and supporting us, and never giving up.
Struggling to bulk up? I get it. Alpino oats and High Protein Peanut Butter are the bestttttt! It has protein and fiber, which keep me satisfied and fueled all day. No more unhealthy snacking or bland shakes. Alpino is the key to seeing real results in my muscle-building journey!!
