I don’t recommend drinking alcohol

alright so we’re going to talk about the liver, specifically how to reverse a fatty liver. Here are some couple facts:

• 1- The liver is about three and a half pounds
• 2- Huge it’s on the right side of your body.
• 3- Has over 500 functions.
• 4- It does everything from immune control, digestion, detoxification of chemicals, building up of proteins, it does so many things.

It’s an amazing, miraculous organ. with 50,000 to 100,000 small little units of cells that help do the work. You really could be functioning pretty good in your body and have 90% of your liver destroyed or dysfunctional.

So, a lot of times the liver will not show up until greater than 90% of it being destroyed.

But some of the symptoms of a really bad liver issue are:

• Bloating
• Right shoulder pain
• the whites of your eyes turn yellow
• there’s a lot of skin issues
• itching of the bottom of the feet and the palms of the hand

But you can really predict the health of the liver by the person’s lifestyle habits. So, there’s several stages of liver damage that occur, contact us for more information

1- The first one is from inflammation.

Inflammation where it could come from a virus, but it also could come from bad eating or alcohol. So, every time you drink it creates a trauma, kind of a whiplash because you’re killing liver cells when you’re doing that.

Every time you take Tylenol or medication you kill liver cells. So, it has a lot of damage.

Even some of the medications like Lipitor, for example, will severely stress the liver and increase its enzymes by 500%. So, one of the big side effects. The medication is supposed to lower your cholesterol which basically has everything to do with liver, ends up destroying your liver.

2- Then you have fatty deposits that lodge into the liver

Over time the liver can be replaced with fat. Many people with bellies out to here have a fatty one. If they just had an ultrasound, they would be able to identify that.

It’s very hard to detect chronic liver problems unless you do a biopsy because it doesn’t always show up on a blood test. So, over time when you have this inflammatory state of continuing damage on the liver because of bad habits, you develop scar tissue and that leads into something called (cirrhosis).

Cirrhosis is the liver that is filling up with fibrous tissue that’s making it dysfunctional, and you lose the function of the liver.

But again, you can get away with only a small portion of liver working before you even notice a lot of the symptoms so just because you are feeling it doesn’t mean anything. so that’s what happens with the liver. When the liver swells up because there’s not a lot of space it could put pressure on the heart and create a lot of heart arrhythmia issues, a lot of skipped beats, it can create high blood pressure, increase pulse rate, why?

Because the liver is right next to the heart and it’s going to compress on the heart.

When the person sleeps on their left side if they have an enlarged liver, it will compress the heart and make it hard to breathe and sleep at night. So, liver cases tend to sleep better on the right side of their body than the left. that’s one thing.

Secondly is the liver being one of the only organs in the body that can completely 100% regenerate.

The bad news is

it takes a long time to regenerate the liver cells. It could take up to three years. But I think the worst recommendation for people is everything in moderation because you cannot heal the liver having a moderate amount of junk food to the diet because again if you’re drinking every night or every other day or even once a week it could take you one, two, three, four days for that liver to recover and so you never really let it recover.

The accumulation of letting the liver recover and heal that helps it regenerate.

I had someone do my liver enhancement program and they lost all this weight, but they had called me up and said, “your liver enhancement doesn’t work because I did it for two weeks, I lost the weight and then the weight came back.”

Come to find out in their mind they thought they were going to heal the liver in two weeks. However, that was a miscalculation. They need to do it for a lot longer until that liver heals.

Now alcohol is probably the top thing that destroys the liver and I do not agree with so called recommendations that you can get away with drinking every night. That does not work. I don’t want to get into that, I think that’s kind of common sense.

• stop the things that are destroying the liver and add the things that will create a healthy liver. One of the most powerful things that will do it are the bitter vegetables, the ones that don’t taste good.
• The more bitter the better like the collar greens, mustard greens, the kales, the spinaches, those are really good.
• Radishes are really good for the liver, and you have to start consuming those on a regular basis.

Now what does that mean? the coconut oils.

The coconut oil is one of the best things as far as the fat to cook in and to consume to help a liver because it doesn’t seem to strain it at all.

Butter is actually a medium chain triglyceride too so that would be okay to consume and that takes the stress off the liver.

Bitter vegetables, the other thing that’s really good to clean out some of the toxic waste would be apple cider vinegar and some of your water.

So, if you take like a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, put it in your water and consume that a few times a day, that is really good to strip off the fat off.

As you consume these vegetables over time that have a lot of the B vitamins too, especially like vitamin B2, choline, folate, all those key B vitamins that help the liver regenerate, over time it will get better and better and better and better but you’re just going to have to not drink or not drink so much.

One of the replacements that I like for the alcohol would be the kombucha tea.

Kombucha tea creates a similar effect to alcohol. You feel very relaxed and calm and again, people drink to relax so that would be substitute.

In this product I have it’s called the whole cruciferous food. I created a blend of the garlic, turmeric, radish, brussell sprouts, kale, cabbage, parsley.

Parsley has the most vitamin A, the most nutrition of any vegetable and number two is kale. Kale is not quite as strong as parsley

but it’s easier to consume kale in the kale shake.so, I recommend at least one kale shake for your liver. But this is a good combination of cruciferous vegetables.

this success story can help you to keep you liver healthy.
