You’re shocked & you fear the worst…”liver transplant”. But, your loving husband finds an ‘ALTERNATIVE’ treatment. THIS IS Kim Harris Walters STORY! Yes, she’s in COMPLETE REMISSION & NO MEDS within 9 months. Welcome Kim Harris Walters to our Healthy & Happy Holistic AIH community (& other AI issues). I’m soooo proud of this Texan’s gusto and tenacity to go against the Traditional Medical system. Yes, most people CAN turn this around…it takes time & commitment.
Please read her words….her journey.
In the fall of 2014 I felt extremely tired and thought I had a thyroid issue. By the time I went to the doctor, the test showed that my liver enzymes were 800/500 (alt/ast)! Two weeks later I went to a GP and the numbers dropped. So I forgot about it until the next year when I was feeling so exhausted that I thought it was mono. When I went to the liver specialist, he suggested that I had AIH and wanted to get a biopsy done to confirm the liver damage and to be sure it was AIH.
Of course when I got home I googled AIH and started feeling overwhelmed and honestly started freaking out from everything I was reading! All I kept thinking is that I have two boys under 9 years old and I’m not ready to leave them, my husband or family. I went into the living room and started telling my husband all of the horrible stuff I was reading on the internet about AIH and how it can lead to a liver transplant, liver cancer or even death. Of course my research didn’t stop there because then I started reading on Imuran and Predisone and just started crying at the only options to save my life. My researcher husband took it upon himself to dig deeper then my technology challenged self could. How many people can say their spouse saved their life? I can because my husband found the book Curing Courtney written by my little blessing Denise Otten and literally saved my life!
Before my lab results were back I had contacted Denise via email in which she responded that day. I let her know what was going on and hired her as my holistic health coach. We set up some time to talk on the phone to review the protocol and what I would need to do to heal my body naturally. A couple of weeks later I had my follow up appointment and was diagnosed with stage 2 fibrosis due to….AIH. This diagnosis felt like a horrible nightmare but now I was armed with a natural way to repair my body and I was going to give this all that I had. At my appointment I was urged to get on Prednisone and Imuran immediately to stop the inflammation, etc. but I just couldn’t do it because I felt it would do my body even more harm. In March 2016 I started with the supplement protocol in Denise’s book along with cutting out ALL wheat and dairy. My biggest issues were and still are trying to get the right amount and quality of sleep and to be stress free (I am getting much better). On the plus side from all of this and this new way of life I have lost 60 pounds!!

Congratulations to my Texas belle, and her husband. I’m proud of your commitment and want ALL adults with AIH to know that there are successful ALTERNATIVES. You need a professional, a plan, and a belief that the SCIENCE OF NUTRITION does work. Just ask my sweet friend Kim.
