In "Reversing Cirrhosis," author Susan Pryde chronicles her journey with cirrhosis of the liver, a life-changing diagnosis that left her with a sense of despair and uncertainty. After six months of grueling tests and doctor's appointments, Susan had to confront the reality of her situation: she was facing a potentially fatal illness with few treatment options available. But Susan refused to give up. Fueled by her determination and a newfound drive to take control of her health, she began researching ways to maximize her health through proper nutrition and self-care."Reversing Cirrhosis" offers readers a comprehensive guide to reversing the effects of cirrhosis of the liver and regaining their health. With her own experiences as a backdrop, Susan's guide offers hope and practical advice to anyone who is struggling with cirrhosis of the liver or a related condition. Whether you've recently been diagnosed or you're seeking to proactively take control of your health, "Reversing Cirrhosis" is an essential resource that can help you make the most of your life and health.I ordered Sue’s book after stumbling on her Facebook page shortly after I was diagnosed with cirrhosis. My cirrhosis is due to NAFLD, I don’t drink alcohol but my diet was full of sweets and junk food and I did not exercise. I was not extremely obese but was at an unhealthy weight. I had become aware that my healing was up to me (and God!), it was time to take steps to get healthy. I was a little shocked by my diagnosis as my liver enzymes were normal for the first time in many years. But my platelets were dropping which I did not know was a telltale sign of cirrhosis for anyone with a history of NAFLD. My dad died from ESLD so I knew what complications of this disease could lead to and I don’t want to go there! Sue’s book offered hope that I could take steps to turn this disease around. She explains what test results mean in layman’s terms and gives insight on what to expect from your physician. She offers suggestions on diet modifications and tells what worked for her. It’s an easy read where Sue tells the story of her journey with honesty and emotion as she did what many doctors say is impossible and reversed her cirrhosis! It is truly written from her heart with a desire to help others achieve the same. I just had my first 6 month follow up with my liver specialist where my Fibroscan CAP score dropped from 269 to 100 and my kPa dropped from 20.8 to 12.8. I have lost 59 pounds and am now at a healthy weight. I’m exercising every day. I honestly believe I would not have made the necessary life style changes to be able to accomplished this if I had not read “Reversing Cirrhosis” by Susan Pryde. I highly recommend reading this book to anyone with cirrhosis.

Has this diagnosis left you feeling scared and confused, or are you simply feeling numb like I was a few months ago? Do you feel alone and unsure of where to turn? Should you keep it a secret? Should you tell your whole family or just a few? What about friends and co-workers? Are you wondering about medicine, diet, exercise? If all these thoughts are flooding your mind, you need this book!Sue Pryde had many of these same thoughts and feelings. Take a trip with her and learn a little bit about her life leading up to her diagnosis and find out what she chose to do with that information. It's a beautiful story about how she came to terms with her diagnosis, educated herself about the disease, and ultimately clawed her way back to good health. Keep in mind that this is her story, and she has simply chosen to share it with us. Her story gives me hope. I know that I may not have the same outcome, but knowing that she was able to reverse her cirrhosis at least lets me know that it is possible.Don't forget to check out the conclusion of the book where Sue has listed some ways in which to contact her. I am a member of her private support group, and this is an excellent way to keep up with people who are in the same boat and looking for ways to improve their health. We have many great discussions about a variety of topics in dealing with this disease. All of us are in different stages of liver disease and dealing with different symptoms with some being mild and some being more serious. No matter where we are in this illness, we all agree that this group is helping us live our best lives while trying to navigate our paths to better health. Come join us!

Very encouraging to read. A healing approach based on sound nutritional and mental health principles. Loved the author's candor, vulnerability and encouragement.

I couldn’t stop reading as I learned more about both the disease and my friends journey. This is a story about hope, inspiration, and slaying those dragons we all face that keep us from being our best. Sue shares the technical aspect about this disease in a way that helps me understand even more, and her journey pulls me in for the ride. I read this book to help me better understand this disease, inspire me to understand and slay my own dragons, and to experience Sue’s Journey through her own heart. Sue bears all and It is clearer to me now that we all have dragons that keep us from being our best. Sue you have always been fun, creative, caring, and inspiring to me since the day we met. Love you My Friend and than you For inspiring us all, giving us hope and creating avenues for you to help others.

This book was well written! The information was very organized and easy to comprehend. I felt like the author was taking the words from my mouth….words I could not put in order in my mind but she did! It helped me so much to understand what was happening in my body and gives me hope to survive! Thank you so much for writing this and creating your Facebook group so we can keep up with your journey and help bring awareness to liver disease.

When I received my copy of "Reversing Cirrhosis", I instantly turned to page 95 "What do I eat?". My immediate thought was, ok I'll just follow what this says and I will be healed! A little adjustment of my carbs and I'd be off and running. Then, I read the entire book beginning to end. Sue brilliantly wrote of her journey of reversing her cirrhosis and included medical findings of helpful things to do. It involves more than just correct eating. It was a big reality check into this disease. It is emotional as you find yourself in the same situation as she was in the beginning. So, one step at a time with Sue's support and encouragement you can feel better! Thank you, Sue, for your courage to write of your journey.
