Discussion: A senior doctor treats my liver disease, but he has no solution for my condition besides medications with severe side effects. When I asked him about alternative therapies, he claimed I was risking unscientifically based therapies.

The liver is a very challenging organ to treat. Other than liver transplants, there are almost no effective treatments for severe chronic liver disease. Liver stents are not a successful solution. There is now a trend of more and more doctors also recommending alternative therapies. In many hospitals, there is a department for alternative treatments. Yet, without a medical philosophy, some physicians see self-healing functional medicine as a threat rather than an opportunity.
