Restore Liver Function to Restore Health

[ofonorow]

With several friends suffering obvious liver dysfunction, I decided to reread the Medical Medium's LIVER RESCUE (This time with the benefit of having read the other 7 Medical Medium books). E.g., if you are over weight, your liver is not functioning well.

Below are important highlights regarding how to restore your liver. Naturally, this after eating "right," avoiding toxins and surprisingly, understanding and avoiding fat:

"When you wake up in the morning, do you drink a liter of lemon water? Very few people do. It’s an ideal protocol to protect you and keep you hydrated even when you’re consuming your normal food and beverages throughout the day. That lemon water first thing could be enough to carry you. So could a celery juice or a smoothie—well, depending on what’s in the smoothie.

"One reason that I brought celery juice to the world’s attention years ago is because it is so beneficial and restorative to the gut. Its undiscovered cofactor micro trace mineral salts actually restore the missing acids in the seven-acid blend and, at the same time, are themselves toxic to unproductive bacteria.

.

"Celery juice enhances your entire body’s immune system. Your liver’s individual immune system also relies on the undiscovered types of mineral salts inside of celery; it uses them specifically to strengthen its lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), allowing the liver to fight more battles for us and have a better chance of ridding us of strep and other SIBO bacteria that can tag along with it. The white blood cells absorb the mineral salts through their cell structure as nectar and then use them as an offense mechanism, not just a defense mechanism.

"When your liver is having trouble producing its own bile, what it really needs instead of ox bile is a glass of celery juice to help restore and heal itself. The liver identifies the proper mineral salts in celery juice and builds them up so it can step up to produce adequate levels of bile.

AVOID TRENDY LIVER FLUSHES

"When it’s a flush done wrong, one that pushes the liver hard against its will, the bloodstream is where those toxins end up. The liver knows, even though we’re not aware, that all these poisons entering the blood at once put the heart and brain under direct threat. An onslaught of toxic sludge and debris headed for our heart valves and ventricles is not the liver’s idea of an ideal vacation method. It could cause erratic heartbeats, stress on the heart, inflammation, elevated adrenaline, and electrical confusion of the heart, all while we’re busy looking for stones in the toilet.

And there’s a better way to cleanse the liver, one that works with it, not against it, and ends up being more effective than any man-made protocol—we’ll get to that in Chapter 38.

"The liver desperately needs fruit sugar to restore itself and defend itself from pathogens. Because fruit is so purifying, someone who consumes fruit is going to cleanse and detox more than with any other food, and that leads to a common mistake when evaluating for fructose intolerance. Often people who are chronically sick and have sluggish, stagnant, sick livers react when they start detoxing, whether mildly or more heavily.

One apple can cleanse your liver in more ways than anyone realizes, and all those poisons leaving can cause detox reactions and symptoms that confuse both patient and practitioner, especially if the overall diet is not geared to cleansing.

"For example, viruses and bacteria throughout the body feverishly feed off lactose from dairy—just as they do with gluten.

"Fructose shouldn’t be lumped in with lactose just because they’re two forms of sugar. Fructose does not feed pathogens.

When someone doesn’t understand insulin resistance as having too much fat in the blood and a toxic, stagnant liver, fructose intolerance can get blamed.

Symptoms that seem to come from eating fruit have everything to do with fat intolerance, which comes from a dysfunctional liver.

If people reduced their intake of fats, in turn minimizing their blood-fat ratio, they wouldn’t be symptomatic anymore when eating fruit,

"Those who design high-fat diets are starting to wake up to the truth that incorporating more plant foods gets people better results, and these fancily named new diets are by default starting to contain lower fats. The next step in healing won’t occur until people move past their fruit fear and start adding more than a green apple and a handful of berries to their day.

I developed a NAFLD while 30 years on a very low-fat vegetarian diet.

I reversed it by increasing fat up to 70% of calorie intake. Now since almost 16 years.

Know your biochemical individuality - for example by ongoing laboratory monitoring during diet changes - and don't follow one size fits all advice.

Interesting anecdote. You must have a particularly stubborn liver. Bile is required to deal with fat in the diet. The liver works hard to create bile, and the more fat you eat, the more bile it has to make, per the above quotes.

The Medical Medium advice is designed to benefit a majority of the billions of people on Earth. It may not and probably does not apply equally to everyone.

However, everyone requires glucose, to power their minds, liver, hearts and in fact to cleanly burn for energy in all muscles. Fats will block glucose (and other nutrient uptake). Some fats are better than others, but a 70% fat diet seems to be playing with fire. Something else you take or eat is perhaps emulsifying the fat in your blood stream?

As you say, we are individuals, but a 70% fat diet implies your heritage is from up North, and not the tropics. That your digestive tract is relatively slow.

Fats will block glucose (and other nutrient uptake).

With an average fasting glucose of 104 mg/dl and an average 1 hr. postprandial of 133 in my capillary blood the last 16 years, there seem to be plenty of glucose circulating. Calculated this would amount to a HbA1c of 5.8% in average, but actually measured it was 5.2%. As we know from a New-Zealand study: HbA1c is greatly reduced by high dose vitamin C, despite higher blood glucose levels. So its doing its job, and not at all hindered by fat.

I'm too tired now to type nutrients all out. But my highest are for example vitamin K1 at 9.9 µg/ml (0.22 - 2.28 range), or CoQ10 at 7 µg/ml (0.8 - 1,4 range). From the water-solubles, B6 at 184 µg/ml (16.8 - 45 range) stands out. Any other you want to know?

You must have a particularly stubborn liver.

Contained none-circulated nodules. Gone, given enough time on a high fat diet.

As you say, we are individuals, but a 70% fat diet implies your heritage is from up North, and not the tropics. That your digestive tract is relatively slow.

Mainly Central Europe, with some from the Mediterranean. Is having at least 3 bowel-movements a day too slow?

but a 70% fat diet seems to be playing with fire.

On the contrary, following one size fits all advises without monitoring change in lab-markers is playing with fire. Once the damage is done, it's usually too late.

[ofonorow]

Obviously 3 bowel movements a day is unusual and may explain something about your case. Your blood sugar implies that you don't have fat in the blood (unlike a fat-loving friend who went to his doctor and discovered his blood sugar was 800 mg/dl).

Perhaps, you are not be absorbing all the fat that you eat, which may explain things. Do you eat lots of fiber?

Again, you seem reticent to read the Medical Medium works, probably the most important books on health ever written. Their advice has to apply to billions, meaning many, even millions, may not benefit.

[pamojja]

Fats will block glucose (and other nutrient uptake).

(unlike a fat-loving friend who went to his doctor and discovered his blood sugar was 800 mg/dl).

Only someone leaving behind every rational thought, to support his blind belief in books, can have it both ways: fats block glucose... AND fats drives glucose up to unheard levels...

The only protection from such ill-advises in every direction is monitoring diet-changes with blood-test monitoring. A high-fat diet can reduce blood-lipids and reverse pre-diabetes.

Beside restoring a diseased liver or stay rational.

Without you being willing to increase your understanding by reading, your understanding is hearsay - through me, why should your words matter? Why should I argue with ignorance?

It is wonderful when a brilliant human medical mind comes to the same conclusion, from a very interesting direction. The Mean's GOOD ENERGY book could change the world, if it were widely read.

... that’s not what’s happening. With the mitochondria not working properly, the conversion of fats and glucose to ATP becomes impaired, and these raw materials are stored as damaging fats inside the cell. Any cell that is not a fat cell that is filled with fats is a big problem, because the normal cellular activities we outlined earlier, like cell signaling and the transportation of items around the cell that allow for normal cellular functioning, get blocked. It’s a traffic jam inside the cell caused by all this excess fat.

One of the cell-signaling pathways that is blocked when a cell is filled with toxic fat is insulin signaling, which has a huge impact on the levels of blood sugar circulating in the body. Under normal circumstances, when there is a surge of sugar in the bloodstream after eating and digesting a carbohydrate-rich meal, the hormone insulin is released from the pancreas and floats around the body, binding to insulin receptors on cells and signaling for those cells to bring glucose channels from the inside of the cell to the cell membrane to let the glucose flow inside. However, when a cell is filled with fat, this insulin signaling process is impaired; glucose channels don’t get shuttled to the cell membrane, and glucose doesn’t get let into the cell; it’s blocked. This blocking, called insulin resistance, is a way the cell protects itself from being overly bombarded with too much energy from food (glucose). The cell “knows” that because of mitochondrial issues, it can’t convert that raw material (glucose) to cellular energy, so it blocks the entry of glucose into the cell. Insulin resistance causes glucose to remain in excess in the bloodstream, where it causes a slew of problems.

Ignorance and heresy for your blind believe in a channeler. You should maybe argue with verifications, to make them more believable to everyone else. Since you seem on a missionary project, not me. Other readers will evaluate and decide for themselves.

I verified my health improvements (remission in 3 non-reverseable chronic diseases) through diet changes long before they happened.

Keep your head in the sand.

We humans are peculiar. We now have access to nearly perfect medical information, (there is an uneducated human in between the source and us, so there is a built-in allowance if there is a mistake. This is why I think the information is probably not divine, but rather comes from an extraterrestrial source.). Anyway, for reasons that escape me, people focus on the method of transmission, rather than the quality of the information. You can't argue with the information without reading the texts.

I'd love to debate people who have read the Medical Medium, because much of it is surprising. In your case, you act as if your knowledge is superior, based on a case where N=1. Pretty arrogant.

[pamojja]

Pretty arrogant.

Your only counterarguments, after writing self contradicting statements, are ad hominem attacks?

Facts remain: I've been 30 years low-fat vegetarian. And could reverse a fatty liver with high-fat only.

By promoting a one-size-fits all diet, you are endangering too many people, for whom a low-fat diet won't heal the liver. As in my case.

The way to avoid being misguided is by utilizing regular lab-monitoring, to see early enough one is heading in the right direction with whatever dietary change.

Surely you jest? Pulling my chain? I'm pointing out that you reject a priori information that you refuse to read for yourself.

Facts remain: I've been 30 years low-fat vegetarian. And could reverse a fatty liver with high-fat only.

We have to take your word. Any independent science that shows this? Obviously, even if your case report is accurate, it is more complicated than simply going low-fat to high-fat. For example, maybe your diet change reduced the amount of fructose?

By promoting a one-size-fits all diet, you are endangering too many people, for whom a low-fat diet won't heal the liver. As in my case.

I beg your pardon, who is promoting a diet? Much less, one-size fits all? You refuse to read so your perspective is skewed by what I choose to share. And you obviously have no idea how the liver works and what would harm or heal it. Want to learn? Read Anthony William's LIVER RESCUE.

Sounds reasonable, until you learn that w/r to the liver, there are more than 2000 separate chemical functions performed by the liver. There are hundreds of signals (including enzymes) that could be measured, but our technology currently measures 3 or 4? (ALT, AST, ALP and GGT.) The inadequacy of current liver blood tests is described on pages 55 to 61.

"The tests remain basic. When future tests are invented way down the road, then they will pickup on early signs of liver problems - because there is more to detect. For example, there are more than four enzymes that show up in the blood as indicators, there are dozens of undiscovered enzymes. There are also hundreds of chemical compounds yet to be discovered that will help medical professionals identify definitively what's really happening in the liver and where.

The enzymes and chemical compounds that the liver releases are special, specific signals; each enzyme and chemical compound holds a cipher.
