My father in law has been a 25 year alcoholic, and the doctor has convinced him to stop. His liver is still about 30 percent operational, but the doctors say like they do not know what type of diet or vitamin supplements he should take to help with functionality. Even the dieticians are stumped. QUACKS!

A healthy way to help your liver naturally detoxify is to eat cruciferous vegetables. These include: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, watercress, and radish. 5-7 servings per week from this category. A serving is one cup for leafy greens such as kale and a half-cup for the other vegetables listed. These foods can help your body produce enzymes, which aid in detoxification.

Here are the foods in order most helpful for liver function. The list isn't accurate but just a guide.Onions/GarlicCrucifix VegetablesLemon Juice in Warm WaterApplesArtichokeThe most important thing to keep in mind is to eat more food with active enzymes which aids in better digestion, any food that is not cooked for that matter so Raw Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts&Seeds, Salads etc.

I concur with the above. Raw vegetables, especially those listed have amazing healing properties because of the active enzymes. However, it's quite possible it will be very difficult to get your father in law to make any sudden changes to his diet.

Would you have better success, while you gradually introduce him to better eating habits, getting him to take a high quality multi vitamin? And perhaps mega doses of a Vitamin B12/B6/FolicAcid complex and Vitamin C as well.

It's almost guaranteed that he's completely depleted his body of any reserves and keeping vitamins and minerals at optimum levels for the next year or so will not only help him recover his health, but it will help him stick to his resolve to stay dry.

Good health to you both!

I think Man chow soup is the best diet for your liver health. I drink this daily.
