how it started
I Love My Liver Team
“I Love My Liver Team” was created by Phyllis Miller and printed on canvas tote bags distributed to the team of doctors, nurses, researchers, hospital staff, science teachers, and support staff, friends and family, who supported her husband, David, during his struggles with NASH. While he did not survive the liver transplant (which was the only option by the time he was diagnosed with stage 4 fibrosis), Phyllis decided to use her experience to educate others about NASH so they could take action before it was too late.
NASH is quickly outpacing alcoholic related cirrhosis and despite ongoing research and drug trials, lifestyle modification is currently the only viable option for this metabolic disease. Note from Phyllis: “I am not a doctor or a medical professional, and everyone’s first step should be to consult with your doctor and develop a plan of action, if you suspect you may be on the NASH path.” While various tests determine “fatty liver” or reveal irregular liver enzymes (ALT or ALP), the Fibro Scan and conclusive biopsy are not always called into play during early stages of the disease.
This website is designed to create awareness about NASH.
