Avatar f tn In order to maximize the effects of the coffee some (but not all) studies suggest that caffeinated coffee may be better for the liver than decaffeinated coffee. However, it seems that caffeine itself does not appear to have a beneficial effect. There is also an interesting conundrum. Not just any caffeinated beverage will do.

It is one of the unique qualities of the organ. Just be sure to treat before your liver has advanced fibrosis. If you have had chronic hepatitis C for over 30 years, your liver disease is progressing very, very slowly which is great!
Avatar m tn Over years or decades, chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can lead to serious liver disease including cirrhosis (scarring), hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) and liver failure necessitating a transplant. NAFLD – fat in the liver not related to alcohol use – can lead to the same outcomes.
Avatar f tn I posted something a few days about the benefits of coffee on one's liver (not necessarily easing side effects but in general. It was something I read. And today I read this. Guess I'm gonna start drinking it. 65 years old - never too late? http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/16/health/coffee-drinking-longer-life/index.html?
Avatar m tn After adjusting for gender, age and history of opioid use, which are known correlates of reporting a higher number of discomforting side-effects, the effect of coffee remained significant (36% decrease per increase in number of cups drunk). The researchers comment that the effects seen could be due to caffeine combating the fatigue and lack of concentration and alertness often reported by patients receiving hepatitis C treatment.
Avatar f tn I know that this Coffee Story has been splashed all over the news today in regard to Decaf Coffee and Liver Disease. Decided to do some additional investigation on my own and one of my sources was the American Cancer Society funding of liver disease. Wonder if the limitation of Coffee was because of Caffiene? We do know that Caffiene does play a part in certain cardiovascular diseases. Hep C meds can cause tachycardia as well as arrhythmia's and could be contraindicated with Caffiene.
Avatar m tn Ability to tolerate treatment had minimal effect on the relationship of coffee and virologic response......In contrast to results for coffee, no effect was observed for drinking tea......" and ......."Coffee drinkers were also more likely to have a virologic response according to the predefined end points (Table 3). Among nondrinkers, 45.
Avatar f tn My doctor said, "the liver loves coffee." Not sure how the coffee helps the liver, does anyone here know? I can't drink much of it anymore. Tastes awful now.

Avatar f tn Following are a few links to coffee reducing the side effects of tx. The links are to the same French study done last year with HIV-HCV coinfected individuals. Several performance benefits are attributed to caffeine including fatigue reduction and improvements in mental concentration and alertness which are often impaired in patients receiving HCV treatment.
Avatar f tn CL , I don't believe your approach was included in the HALT-C study ... that was the study including the questionnaire on coffee consumption ... If nothing else .. doing 3 or 4 shot in one cup .. would make the morning pretty zippy ...... "The questionnaire did not ask about the strength of the coffee, what people put in their coffee, or whether people drank caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee, Freedman said. About 85% of coffee consumed nationally is caffeinated.
Avatar m tn In a cohort study, including 59 cases from the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, subjects who drank four or more cups of coffee per day had about five fold lower the risk of non coffee drinkers [19]. In the same dataset, coffee was inversely related to the risk of cirrhosis death (multivariate RR=0.77 for coffee drinkers versus nondrinkers [20]).

Avatar m tn Green-Fu is surely an excellent product and you shouldn’t hesitate to buy it now due to its endless benefits. Chlorogenic acid in green coffee is one of the most critical components in the product and you will certainly benefit a whole lot by consuming it on a regular basis.
502395 tn?1210562585 I have heard about the studies talking about the benefits to coffee drinking. I think IN moderation that this would probably be okay. However, as with everything, I don't think that drinking 10 cups a day would be a good idea, because that would not be moderation. All of this is IMHO.
Avatar m tn First, the total number of cases included in this meta-analysis was substantial (n = 3622 liver cancer cases). The summary ORs of the highest compared with the lowest coffee consumption categories for risk of liver cancer were consistent with those in a previously published meta-analyses (n = 2260 liver cancer cases).[30,31] Second, we found little evidence of publication bias in our meta-analysis.
163305 tn?1333668571 At present, it seems reasonable to propose experiments with animal models of liver damage and to test the effect of coffee, and/or isolated compounds of this beverage, not only to evaluate the possible causative role of coffee but also its action mechanism. Clinical prospective double blind studies are also needed. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19825397?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.
Avatar m tn re used to me regaling you with facts from the many studies that have pointed out that coffee is jammed full of antioxidants, that it slices the risk of liver cancer in half, and cuts down on the risk of type II diabetes by as much as 50 percent. All this, and it still does a tidy job of perking you up, focusing your mind, and relieving stress. That's one busy cup of liquid, huh? And now added to all these wonders is the news that coffee can actual keep you alive!
1738923 tn?1327326669 I also do organic coffee enemas which is VERY soothing to the liver -- kind of like when you have an itch and finally able to scratch it. I also do the master cleanse diet, or lemonade diet, once every 6 months for 1 week.
Avatar m tn Any coffee I would drink would go straight through me, I would need to go urinate before I even managed to finish the coffee. If I needed to go and had to wait such as in a meeting or at the cinema I would find it hard to breathe and get slightly dizzy. Then I started taking supplements in the form of, Magnesium, Vitamin D3 & Cod liver oil. Are these the things that cured me? Or Have I just simply healed the problem over time?
Avatar f tn Rivo 6 years ago. While I could not get rid of the virus, my liver enzymes are normal. I am 57 years old, and my question is, would the new Vertex telaprivir therapy be worth my while. Most of the time I feel ok, but I often wonder if I would feel better if I was able to get rid of the virus.
Avatar m tn 3 cups of coffee is supposedly the right dosage. Hepatologists will often confirm this. studies have been done. Less or more may not do much.
755829 tn?1246919225 It depends on the method of decafination. Some methods of producing decaf coffee use extremely toxic solvents known to be neurological toxins, as well as being carcinogenic. This was the case until the mid 1990's when a new non-toxic processing system was introduced. You want decaf coffee that is processed with the harmless super-critical carbon dioxide process.
Avatar m tn we posted in the past all the results of int'l conference but it is good to repost for new comers coffee is a must for all liver diseases with benefit over 4 cups a day, it has beneficial by its high antioxidant content on: cancer prevention, and this is the highest benefit intreferon response liver fibrosis/cirrhosis prevention/improvment coffee, vit d3 and cocao have all been presented in the conferences between 2009 and 2011 and all are a must for hbvers.
