Tony,

Glad to hear your good news!  From what I've learned...green tea has a lot of antioxidants (vitamins A, C, and E) which are healing nutrients for cellular respiration (generating new healthy cells in our body).  Also, I've learned that it takes at least 6 months before the liver is able to "heal" from toxin overload.  Therefore, the time frame you indicate on changing your diet, drinking more water to flush out toxin overload including green tea has helped your body to heal itself.  Thank you for sharing.

A must read on health issues for both men and women:  Christiane Northrup, MD "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom: creating physical and emotional health and healing"  She has been on Oprah a few times.  The book is several inches thick and loaded with excellent health benefits.  The key is to change negative ideas and beliefs created in childhood or adulthood that deplete your emotional energy levels that can create phyiscal symptoms to get your attention to listen to your thoughts and emotions.  Basically, we contribute to our phyiscal health through our thoughts & emotions and need to learn to take some responsiblity in healing what we've created.  In addition to antioxidants, an optimsitic spirit also contributes to cellular respiration.  Thought I would share for those who possess an open mind and heart to hearling their mind, body and spirit.
