Do not trade your permanent health for a temporary fix

That's a great mantra.

Hi Dr. Ken, Can you please made a video on Non-alcoholic Fat Liver and correlation with triglycerides? I greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

[@chop2093]

This guy is an amazing teacher. Would make a great audio book narrator

[@toxic44talks35]

Hi Dr. Ken...Have found your channel and I'm really enjoying it and learning alot about things with me...On this one here, I was an alcoholic for years, but I've been sober now for 21 years. My liver enzymes have been elevated for a long time, and they have recently found that I have fatty liver...but they aren't doing anything about it..Is there something that I can do about it or is it fine as it is? Thank you so very much...

[@Sedgies]

I read to take milk thistle, avoid fatty foods and sugar and carbs.

[@CMoore8539]

I’d find a better dr. You deserve the Best!❤

[@julieterranova2504]

If you have one or more of these issues, if you do have a drink and then take charcoal does that block the alcohol from your liver?

[@michellecrawbuck1198]

Does liver pain begin in the early stages of cirrhosis or late stage cirrhosis?

[@julieterranova2504]

Do milk thistle, apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon juice, or turmeric daily detox your liver? I am going to do them all before my next test but would really appreciate your thoughts Doc. Thank you.

[@joycedistler4332]

How are you faring?

[@lyndachristen6136]

I would like the answer too as I am in the same position...

[@MikeNaples]

Nice tutorial. Probably misspoke but the hepatic veins carry blood from the liver to the vena cava onward to the heart. The portal vein carries blood from the gut and spleen to the liver. 14:10.

Genius! Best easy to understand.

muchas gracias....

[@debpabetz9730]

If you have alcoholic cirrhosis (and ascites just recently developed), and you stop all drinking, can you live several years or is it just too late?

[@saraana996]

Can you have completely normal ALT/AST and have cirrhosis or fatty liver?

[@markj5054]

Yes

[@sorrenable]

Thanks docter,Excellent review!!🇨🇮👍

[@joycedistler4332]

My 62 year old hubby has cirrhosis. Will Alcoholic hepatitis happen too? He just quit drinking. I’m scared. So so scared. What do I do?

[@davidcantu6760]

I wish I could help same here don't wat to do I have cirrhosis also my doctor doesn't even explain nothing good to me

[@davidcantu6760]

Wat are they telling ur husband of his liver

[@joycedistler4332]

@@davidcantu6760 Do what we do. Research on KZbin. 2 Drs we like are Dr Berg and Dr Bergman. There is also another one, he’s Indian and I. Cannot remember or pronounce his name. We have learned alot and flipped the script no drinking only healthy eating. We are having 2 tests in next two weeks. I look forward to improvement. If not improvement. No worsening. Please research and I wish you health.

[@joycedistler4332]

@@davidcantu6760 not much! He has liver cirrhosis. Enlarged spleen. A hernia and ascetics. Water in belly. Low white blood cells. They only said do blood tests which we are cool with to watch his numbers. But to get a biopsy. Which we don’t want. And it a liver transplant. So far no advise. I asked the blood doctor what role does diet play in his liver disease. She said “ Nothing”. So we have no faith in her. Going to a new gastro list next week. I hope he can advise is what to do. If not. We continue learning on our own

[@davidcantu6760]

@joycedistler4332 I understand that I have that too but the gastrointestinal dr are in the same building don't know how to get a different one

[@chrystellarose3753]

Thank you Doctor. Very informative and useful. Would you consider creating a detailed video on ascites and best ways to treat it. When is the right time to go for paracenthesis and how to prevent persistent ascites after the drain. Would high protein diet help? Many thanks again.

[@joycedistler4332]

I’d like to know too

[@dormandavis2767]

My wife drinks a 1.5 liter bottle of red wine a day. Will that affect her?

[@pyro7602]

Definitely that's alot of wine ! Even men supposed to limit themselves to 14 units of alcohol per week and it's a bit less for women so she's drinking around her weekly limit or more in one day.. it's an addiction she needs help tell her read or listen to Craig Beck's alcohol lied to me Annie Grace this naked mind or Allen Carrs easy way.

[@dormandavis2767]

@@pyro7602 I’ve preached help till I’m blue in the face. After losing four of her family members to alcohol she only has one sister left

[@wendycarter5718]

She’s gonna regret it !!! Her liver is getting cooked !!She won’t know it until it’s too late !!!!

[@Illmatic25]

Addiction cannot be helped unless the user wants help…scary tactics or death of others wont work. We all know the risks but we do it anyway. I know it’s frustrating (i am a recovering addict) and honestly being in pain and countless hospital trips made me seek professional help.

[@dormandavis2767]

@@Illmatic25 My wife tried all of that also but unfortunately she passed away right after I made this comment about how much my wife drinks wine she passed away shortly afterwards.

FORMULAR TO REVERSE FATTY LIVER. i have fatty liver. my dad have cirrhosis and passed away due to it. i spend months after months testing my diet and studying about nutrition. even the dr here have some error. first of all, make sure u do not suffer gallstones from gall bladder disease which all doctors only tell us to remove our gallbladder which does fix fatty liver at all.. while it is true that fatty liver can be due to liver disease mistaken as "Fat", but 99% of doctors who follow books and each other do not consider deeply from an art perspective that it is actually due to prolonged inflammation due to enzymes not being able to pass down the duct because the duct is obstructed on and off by gallstones. there is such cases whereby gallstones pancreatitis is the cause of liver inflammation. this case, first we need to stop eating high cholesterol food as 80% of stones are form by cholesterol. you can do your research about what food are high cholesterol. if cholesterol and gallstones are NOT the underlying caused of your fatty liver. and ofcos not alcohol then we look at the following... (DO NOT DRINK alcohol as they are turned sugar eventually, if u continue then there is no point studying here, just die eventually). HERE, we focus on the real fatty liver as underlying cause, is due to bad diet and inactive meaning no exercise , stop your excuses and do justice to your own life my friends. the number 1 poor habit we have is eating too much carbohydrates (white bread or even whole meal still have carbohydrates by the way, pasta, noodles, RICE, even brown rice red black ... all rice have carbohydrates , corn, potatoes, cakes, biscuits) these carbohydrates are everywhere out there selling to us just to keep us full but served tiny nutritional benefits to our body. it is just a habit. if you dont understand what is carbohydrates, it is another word glucose , which mean SUGAR! they turned into sugar in our body. more than often, we consumed more than enough carbohydrates and the excess are all unhealthy. supposedly if we exercise, our metabolism increase, and "burn" of calories and glucose in a form of energy. that is fine because it is math. but often we do not exercise, even if you are not obese which i am not, i am slim yet i have fatty liver, i do not drink and smoke ever, i wasnt on any medication, i had no other diseases ! it was because of all sugar, i ate lots n lots of rice! sometimes noodles, and extra bread everyday as snacks with kaya. i eat cookies too.. they are all sugar eventually. i did not exercise at all for years. i eat fatty red meat too. i used oil to cook. but it is actually the carbohydrates that is causing the fatty liver. now i exercise and lost 7 kg. but its no use, because it barely able to directly burn off liver fats even after we lost lots of weights from other part of body fat. the right way instead is to cut off all bread, potatoes, starch, corn, sugar drink, refined sugar, and FRUITS!!! apples, watermelon, banana.... they are high in fructose! which is sugar !! im serious here, cut off fruits ! now, we r left with veggies, tofu, carrots, beans, mushrooms, fish, chicken breast, coffee no sugar, tea no sugar. COFFEE AND GREEN TEA IS EXCELLENT for liver. thats it. seriously.... and boil or steam them only... no oil please. boring isnt it? but you need to reverse your fatty liver back to heathy liver isnt it or die. which do u choose? one way to know is ultrasound, but another is simple blood test for AST AND ALT level ! simple! if they fall back to healthy range, you are likely succeed. just 2-3 months and u can have SIGNIFICANT improvement ! also, you can continue to exercise as it works hand in hand with your diet ! no smoking please at all. stop that lame useless "cool" habit. if your friends smoke, then just don't stay beside. lastly, we need to eat on time, after 7pm, do not eat anything until next afternoon 12pm is best, to allow our body to digest, and to burn off fat, when our body do not source from food intake, it will source from our body fat, that is how without exercising, fat can be reduced. that is a superior way to burn off fat from liver just by fasting! again this is temporarily until you reverse fatty liver. I REPEAT as summary, 1) EXERCISE AND SWEAT IT OUT (BUT EVEN IF YOU EXERCISE BUT EAT LOTS OF SUGAR AND CARBS , IT IS USELESS!). 2) EAT NO CARBOHYDRATES, SUGAR AND FRUITS 3) SLEEP WELL ON TIME SO WE DONT STRESS OUR ORGANS LETTING THEM REST AND HEAL FROM INFLAMMATION 4) EAT AT THE RIGHT TIME TO PREVENT ORGANS FROM NOT ABLE TO REST AND RECOVER FROM INFLAMMATIONS AND TOXINS. 5) FASTING AFTER DINNER TILL NEXT LUNCH, OR AT LEAST NEXT BREAKFAST (NOTE THAT YOU DO NOT OVEREAT TO MAKE UP FOR THE HUNGER, THAT IS FASTING MISTAKE AND WILL BACK FIRE). YOU ARE ALLOW TO DRINK WATER AND MAKE SURE YOU DO. last tips, whole milk are high in sugar and fat too ! you think milk sound good, but not for diabetes and fatty liver patient. also no butter ! and i do not eat egg while trying to reverse my fatty liver. IT WORKS! im sharing you and the world, because i lost my father due to liver problem. and i have fatty liver. we were very uninformed and uneducated with our lifestyle. doctors often just see us 5 mins and we FO. they do not explain to us , they just say its fat. its wrong. its sugar and carbohydrates we do not understand at all. doctors like to condescending us. they feel like they r so high to behave like a real human and we r just another animals from part of their job. TRUST ME, you tell whatever i said to any doctors, they cant disagree, BUT THEY DIDNT SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ginger, we must not over consume! while it is good, over consume is too heaty, and liver cant take it! heaty is bad for liver. so dont be theoretical . HERE LETS DO FALL VICTIM TO DOCTORS BUSINESS INTERESTS WHO WANNA PLAY US FOR MONEY. AND PROLONG OUR CHANCE OF SURVIVAL. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO KNOWS HOW TO REVERSE FATTY LIVER ARE THOSE WHO HAD REVERSED THEIR OWN FATTY LIVER. NOT DOCTORS!
