Liver Transplant or not?

Back in 2002, I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to use the bathroom to find my boyfriend passed out on the bathroom floor, when I woke him, he was as white as a ghost and when I helped him up, he began vomiting blood. Got him to the emergency room in the small town we live in and they shipped him out to a larger hospital, ran several tests and determined that he had end stage liver disease and if he didn't get a transplant within two years, he wouldn't live. Wow! How could this have happened? He had never been a drinker. Turns out his diabetes affected his liver. Well, no money, no insurance=no liver transplant. I read everything I possibly could get my hands on, bought a juicer, he almost lived on juice for the next year. Since then, he has had two more episodes like that, has had his esophogus catarized twice due to the heavy bleeding, but guess what? He walks everyday, has completely changed his diet and the two years they gave him to live? This is almost six years later- so I just want all of you to know- changing a diet, a lifestyle AND an enormous amount of prayer WORKS! Hope this gives someone else out there some hope. The doctors can't always just put an "expiration" date on your life. Positive thinking and prayer does work! Good luck and blessings to all of you!
