Former Cleveland Browns quarterback
Bernie Kosar
, a beloved figure in Cleveland sports history, is facing a tough battle against liver failure and Parkinson's disease at the age of 60. In an exclusive interview with "Cleveland Magazine", Kosar opened up about his health challenges, stating, "My body gave out on me". Despite his initial reluctance to seek medical help, Kosar eventually went to the hospital in early 2024 and received a life-saving blood transfusion due to dangerously low hemoglobin levels. Symptoms of liver disease have required Kosar to undergo blood transfusions and fluid drainage. The former Pro Bowler credits his ongoing recovery to a combination of exercise, supplements, healthy eating, and prescription medications, with his doctor suggesting that he may need a liver transplant in the future. Kosar has adopted a specific health regimen that includes juicing, intermittent fasting, and avoiding processed foods. He remains positive about his prognosis, emphasizing the importance of positive thinking in maintaining good health. Despite the challenges he faces, Kosar continues to focus on living in a space of positivity and hope for a brighter future ahead.
