Discussion: Liver cirrhosis patients who lose weight sharply without a significant nutritional change must be vigilant! This is a negative sign of loss of life energy and an attempt to preserve the remaining power.

Weight loss, when near death, is a survival mechanism. In life-threatening conditions, the body loses weight to maintain the life force. Being of a lower weight makes it easier to maintain higher Qi levels. I lost 24 kg within 24 weeks (going from 92 kg to 68 kg) during my treatment for hepatitis (HCV) and without making any changes to my diet or physical activity. (I was always exhausted.)
