Some days I wonder WHY do I spend my time Coaching and posting and writing about AIH. It’s an expense and it’s time consuming…and Many DON’T believe me when I say …YOU CAN REVERSE AIH NATURALLY! Then I met ANNA …and her mom, Lisa. Anna almost died at 2 yrs old from AIH…has been on meds since then…and 1 year ago, Lisa found me! Now 8 year old ANNA HAS HEALED AND IS OFF ALL MEDS!!! Is it a miracle…or just science? You decide. Here’s her story:
Anna was born in September 2006. A sweet red-headed angel. Then in June 2008 (not quite 2) I noticed her skin was yellow and her beautiful blue eyes were yellow too. We took her to the hospital and she was diagnosed with AIH…her liver was 98% NON FUNCTIONING! In the hospital, her ammonia was so high it was affecting her brain and she couldn’t recognize her own mommy and daddy. While I held her she screamed for her mommy and daddy. I was beside myself with fear. She was rushed to ICU to try to stabilize her. The doctors did all they could do, but her liver was failing.
I dropped to my knees in the PICU and prayed to God to help me. It was all a blur, I was emotionally lost. Later that night, while they were signing us up for the Ronald McDonald House, and put Anna on the liver transplant list, I saw a security guard reading the bible. I took this as a sign and I asked him to pray with me for my daughter.
Within a couple of days Anna started doing better and her liver started to regenerate itself. The doctors couldn’t believe the change. I believe I witnessed a miracle. This was a moment that took my breath away. I had a second chance with my baby!
The pediatrician told my husband that if I hadn’t brought Anna to the hospital as quickly as I did, she may not have made it through the week.
As luck or devine intervention would have it, …we went home the next week and Anna has been on Prednisone ever since.
Then one day in June 2014, I found Denise’s book CURING COURTNEY. I read it as quickly as I could. It was if she had written my story…except Courtney was a bit healthier than Anna.
I immediately contacted Denise and asked her a dozen questions. I was a little afraid to just start taking vitamins. I was skeptical. But the more I read about the success she’s had and the more I read about Dr. Burt Berkson, the more confident I became.
COULD THIS PROTOCOL GIVE MY DAUGHTER HER HEALTH BACK?! COULD IT BE TRUE!?
I realized that it could only help her body by giving her vitamins and farm fresh foods and nutrients.
Slowly Anna started getting better and better and with the help of my doctors, and some coaching from Denise, we slowly weaned her off the Prednisone. And now she’s OFF ALL MEDS!!! This is the first time in 6 years that she’s been drug free!!! I can’t thank Denise enough and yes, I know so many people were praying for my Anna. God touched her and has healed her. My life… my husbands life and my son Logan’s life has changed forever. And somehow…my little Anna knew this. Two years ago she said “I love that God is healing my liver. And mommy, God told me I’m not going to be sick anymore.” (from the mouths of babes)
Please read Curing Courtney, and try the protocol with the help of a good doctor …and have Denise coach you as well.

Holistic Hepatitis News
BEAUTIFUL 29 yr old Larissa is AIH-free!!!! This after implementing the CURING COURTNEY Holistic treatment. She visited Dr. Burt Berkson after reading the book and now look at her healthy glow! I’m soooo proud of Larissa. She’s from Brazil and lives in the U.S.A. ! Read her story and know that there’s an alternative way to REVERSE AIH!!! SPREAD THE WORD!
In August of 2013 my Dermatologist asked me to check my liver levels because I was taking a medication for acne. She was surprised when my AST/ALT levels were close to 800! She immediately sent me to an hepatologist. They did a lot of exams and a liver biopsy and diagnosed me with AIH. I really was not aware of what it was. After the diagnosis I did a lot of research about AIH, the treatment, side effects, etc. They start me on 35 mg of prednisone and 100 mg of Imuran. They said they would decrease the dose of prednisone every 2 weeks as soon as my levels went down, which was not the case. In the beginning it was really hard to accept my new condition and all the sides effects.
I can say that it was the most difficult time of my life, and I always was wondering why I was chosen to go through this ordeal.
During the treatment I had to go to the hospital two or three times per week for labs and exams. Every week I had bad news about the way I was responding to the treatment. I was always blaming me for not getting my level down and did not know what I could do to help. They increased the dosage of prednisone and Imuran. The side effects worsened. I felt depressed, I had palpitations, I was growing hair where it didn’t belong, my temper flared and my body ached all the time. I was always tired and hungry…how much more could go wrong!? I refused to stop working and I had amazing coworkers, friends and family that helped me. I think the worst part was to realize that my personality changed. I would berate myself…calling myself “bad Larissa” (not strong, but dependent, and emotionally unstable).
Then, to make matters worse…in February of 2014 they tried 2 more drugs on me. I ended up taking 80mg of prednisone and 2500 mg of cellcept! And still I didn’t have good results. My Doctor asked me to come over to the hospital because she needed to create a plan about what we should do. She said that it was unsafe for me to take that high amount of steroids and immunosuppression drugs. She recommended me to stop the meds and just try another one. I had to go to the hospital everyday for labs. I did not want to and asked her if there were any other options. She said I should consider a LIVER TRANSPLANT in one or two years since my damage was 3, on a scale of 0 to 4. When she said the word ‘TRANSPLANT’, I felt like she destroyed my whole life! This was not part of my plans! I want to live long & have family with 3 kids. I totally did not accept what she said and cried for 3 days. Finally, I composed myself and started researching new ways to cure this awful disease.
Finally I found “Curing Courtney”, which gave me hope. I started asking Doctors & friends and reading a lot about ALA and LDN. After all the information, I schedule an appointment with Dr. Burt Berkson, and went to Las Cruces, N.M.
After one month of treatment I did another liver biopsy, since my hepatologist was asking me and I was curious to see how my liver was responding to the ALA and LDN treatment. And to her surprise my liver was only damaged 0-1, on the same scale. I felt like God gave me another chance, it was the best feeling that I have ever felt. I can’t describe how happy I was at that moment.
I continued the treatment with a Doctor closer to me, Dr. Kashi Rai, an amazing woman, doctor and person. She treated not only my liver but my whole body. Since April 2015 I am in remission and continue taking ALA, LDN and all the good food and diet that she recommended.
Since I started the “good treatment” the bad Larissa disappeared, and the old Larissa is back again!!!
I am thankful to God for all the support that I had from my Family and friends. Also I am grateful to Denise. She did an amazing job writing the book and helping people around the world. I am sure without her work I would be on a liver transplant list today, and all my dreams would not be coming true.
