Cheerios? Really? I thought Cheerios was a healthy option.

It’s so true! when they took fat out of foods in the 80s saying it’s bad, they replaced it with added sugar. your liver metabolizes fructose just like alcohol which is why we are seeing such a rise in diseases like fatty liver, especially in kids…10% of kids under the age of 14 have fatty liver disease!

@@Chevelle602Cheerios are unfortunately not healthy. Many foods marketed as healthy are not. The food industry is big business and tries to deceive us and get us addicted to unhealthy foods

I've got dangerous high risk on-going factors, I just can't get any doctor, I am really concerned, but what can I do ? I'm forever getting these terrible headaches. They pound in my head for days. They'll go away for a day or so, but they keep coming back. I'm so frustrated, and scared. You just can't get a doctor anymore. It's just not like it used to be.

@@JackReynolds-w7g I am so sorry to hear that. I don’t know whether what I say can help you because we may not even live in the same country. Here in Canada, we seem to have a shortage of doctors too but there are walk-in clinics all over the city where I live. My daughter had a doctor when she was living with us but she moved to another city did not have one when her problem occurred. She is quite athletic and pull a muscle while practicing archery. So she went to the walk-in clinic in the neighbourhood. The doctor prescribed pain killers and advised her to stop doing what caused the pulled muscle. She told him, no, she will not stop doing archery, and pain-killers are not a permanent solution. She wanted to find out what the problem was and how to fix it. So the doctor reluctantly gave her a referral to an imaging centre where they pinpointed the muscle that was affected. With the report in hand, she asked around for a sports rehabilitation clinic. She attended several sessions and eventually recovered enough to continue in her sport. What I am trying to say is once you connect with a medical professional (it does not necessarily have to be a doctor with a MD degree) you should not take his/her advice blindly. Do your research first and insist on possible courses of treatment. Hope this helps.

@@JackReynolds-w7g Try going to a low-carb diet. I had what I had come to think of as "my headache" and it finally got bad enough that I thought, "I can't see a doctor because this is America and I'm not rich, but I can change my diet" and went to the low-carb diet and ... no more headaches. I'm convinced I am or was at least pre-diabetic. I've lost weight too.

Two big things to understand about the American health care system: (1) It's good at dealing with things like physical injuries because we're continually at war, so there are lots of war wounds, plus we have a very high rate of automobile accidents and violin crime so add in guns, knives, etc. And (2) American health care is, like everything else, for profit. So treating diabetes is very profitable and we have lots of neat medicines and gizmos for that, but preventing things isn't as profitable. So the government has to force American companies to make and provide vaccines, for instance, or step in and provide them. Preventative health care isn't profitable at all, so it's nearly nonexistent in the US. The rich have it, the rest of us, don't. So for instance in the case of diabetes, it's profitable to keep a person with diabetes alive using lots of expensive medicine and supplies, but it's not profitable to teach them to change their diet so they need less insulin; in many cases of type 2 diabetes, if caught in time, they can go off of the expensive medicines completely if they lose weight and change their diets. The for-profit health care system hates this. So your typical American diabetic is going through life living on sugar and starches, needing more and more insulin, gradually needing more medicines for wounds and neuropathy, eventually losing limbs, to the tune of more and more profit. Whereas, except in the case of type 1 diabetes which is like 5% of the diabetics in the US, changing diet and losing weight can do the opposite: No more expensive meds, no more losing toes and feet, no more being obese, etc.

*violent* crime ... sheesh ... violin crime describes when I was trying to learn that instrument...

Agree! 🙌🏼

That is great she was able to get a transplant! NASH kNOWledge was founded by a liver transplant recipient who also had end stage NASH that developed into cirrhosis and liver cancer.

I would certainly suggest talking to your doctor. The liver metabolizes sugar just like alcohol and there is so much added sugars in food today
