Suggest Natural Remedies To Lower Bilirubin Level

Hi doctor
I'm a 35 year old female weighing 254, 5'4'. I have a history of chronic Hep. B and last a lesion was identified on my liver which was 1.3 cm. In May 2011, after a CT Scan, I was informed that I now have cancerous tumors, one that is 6.3 centimeters. I was scheduled to have a procedure called emobolization but it was aborted while i was on the operating table because my lab came in showing the my bilirubin was at a level 4. What can I do to reduce this level? The oncologist reccomended Nexavar, however the side effects are extremely harsh. I would like to try natural remedies first. What do you suggest?

Hello.The best treatment to lower bilirubin levels is surgery.If surgery is not possible, Sorafenib is effective in lowering levels of bilirubin, its benefits outweigh its adverse effects.Unfortunately, there are no natural remedies that have proven effective in lowering levels of bilirubin.
I wish you good health.
