Shalom, Nachum
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I have a big bottle of Flaxseed Oil, 1000 Mg, and I take one a day. It's a darn big capsule ! You are right about the liver. Funny thing, alcohol damages the liver, but I have never been drunk, never was a 'lush.' In fact, do you remember that when we lived together in Montclair, I would have a drink of red wine, usually sweet vermouth, every day on coming home ? One day, you told me that I was an alcoholic, which I strenuously denied.
But then I remembered that one definition of an alcoholic was one who always denied that they were an alcoholic !
Next day, I told you that another definition of an alcoholic was an inability to 'quit,' so I quit. {It was no problem, actually.. .. ] Do you remember that ? Everything passes through the liver, and it is an organ necessary for life.
Monday I return to Montclair for two more tests. But then I plan to transfer my treatment for the liver to either NY University Hospital or Memorial Slaon-Ketttering, in New York. They are the experts. Fortunately, I signed on to the Head Doctor of the NYU Geriatric Unit as my physician several years back, so he could recommend a local Doctor. Also, the Alternate Gabbi at T&V is the Chief Administrator at Memorial: it is a busy place and he could help me there.
I will try to be at Henry's when you visit him, my treatments permitting.
Wishing you hearth, safety, prosperity and happiness.. .. Dad

I hope everything works out ok. liver is not a good organ to mess with.
Have you tried the flax seed oil? I still think it is worth a try.
anyway, i wish you health and success with the procedures.
