what are the best things to do if they have advanced liver disease because if you had the ability to handle the worst case scenario then you'd be in pretty good shape because most people don't have the end stage liver disease they have some type of stage that's before that as you may already know the liver goes through stages it may start off in an inflamed State and then go into the fatty stage and then serotic stage which are scar tissue or you can start with a fatty liver which then produces more inflammation and then turns into cirrhosis now typically on average it takes like 10 years to go from a fatty liver all the way into cirrhosis right and during that process many times it's silent you Just One Day end up with this serious problem that gave you no clues now you may have some you know fatigue weakness things like that but you may not identify or connect the dots and I'm including in that category all the people with a fatty liver I mean just think about if you take a look at your your toes right now and you're standing up and you can't see your toes because your belly is in the way we know your liver is fatty because the fat around the organs in the abdominal area is a spill-off from the liver being too fatty I mean just think about how many people actually have belly fat I mean it's very very high so this video definitely includes anyone with belly fat as well here's the thing um the liver is very robust it's one of the only organs that can completely regenerate but it does take time it could take three years or longer if you have too much scar tissue in the liver because you have cirrhosis there is a point of no return you have to get on the waiting list for a New River and unfortunately it's a very long list that being said there's not a lot of studies in this area I want to talk about what I would do if I had Advanced cirrhosis of the liver and I was in the transplant list what would I do okay that's what I'm going to talk about because that's like the worst case scenario you know the doctor says it's permanent there's no chance of reversing this well let's talk about it because there's actually six things that I want to discuss the first thing that I would do is get my body into a state of autophagy what is autophagy it's the condition where your body is recycling damaged proteins in the cells so it's a bit of recycling things you don't need or damaged parts of your body including the liver and then making new proteins as well but that's only the tip of the iceberg there's a lot more that autophagy does for your body like for example cancer originates in the mitochondria you also have all the scar tissue or fibrosis in the liver where autophagy can help clean some of that up autophagy also can help get rid of intracellular pathogen it's like viruses and bacteria and yeast so it can clean those up as well I mean you've heard of the condition hepatitis right well that involves a virus so again autophagy is very very important in helping your liver all right so what can trigger autophagy the biggest thing is fasting okay regular intermittent fasting where you're fasting on a daily basis you're going for like 18 hours and you're eating within a six hour window and then especially periodic prolonged fasting so once a week you fast for 48 hours once a month maybe you fast for a week why is that so important because you can really create a significant Dent into this problem by doing prolonged fasting if you have cirrhosis and scar tissue and apparently you can even get autophagy while you're fasting within four hours because the liver is used to this action of replacing a lot of cells on a regular basis so we have fasting okay intermittent and prolong we also have exercise exercise can stimulate autophagy right you have sleep can activate autophagy ketones can activate autophagy right that's getting on a low carb diet that's eliminating snacking and then we also have other types of therapy like cold therapy taking cold shower Asana or infrared therapy coffee has a certain polyphenol that can help with autophagy of course it's not going to be significant it's not going to compare to autophagy so just by drinking a pot of coffee a day is not going to help you also extra virgin olive oil can help to a certain degree with autophagy and also consuming more cruciferous vegetables all right number two which is actually part of one but it's specifically fasting okay fasting helps with autophagy but it does other things for your liver that I want to discuss number one it actually significantly lowers inflammation if you can get rid of the inflammation you could definitely stop this whole process from getting worse fasting also significantly increases your antioxidant networks without actually taking antioxidants and the other cool thing that fasting will do it will decrease liver enzymes so now let's talk about number three what is tadka tadka is a type of bile salt it's also been used in Chinese medicine for over 3000 years so it's been around for a very long time but if you actually do research on tatka in relationship to liver function uh you'll be blown away first of all it helps thin the bile because one of the underlying causes of a liver problem is there's some type of blockage within the bile ducts and the bile can actually act as a detergent and irritate and even Scar the liver Tut cut also directly decreases fibrosis tadka directly rehabs the hepatocyte the liver cell tadka also protects the liver cell against certain things like oxidation and when you take tadka I'm not going to get into necessarily Brands but you want to take two on an empty stomach in the morning and two in the afternoon on an empty stomach because if you take it with food it tends to act on the food as a bile salt and not on your liver what's the next thing well you want to induce or trigger phase one phase two detoxification this phenomena or enzyme process occurs in your liver where you're turning poisons into harmless particles okay so it's converting these fat soluble chemicals into harmless water-soluble chemicals that get released through the bile ducts in other ways and so when the liver gets damaged you you don't have this process working at Full Throttle and that can back things up especially poison since the liver is constantly breaking down poisons and protecting you like in Sulfur Rich vegetables like in cruciferous broccoli brussels sprouts cabbage arugula radish things like that green tea is another trigger for phase one phase two detoxification and straight sulforaphane which is the phytonutrient in broccoli Sprouts so if you add broccoli Sprouts to your salad you can greatly help your liver and the next one on the list is milk thistle so as you can see we're really hitting this problem over the head with a sledgehammer because these are all all the most potent things to help your liver okay milk thistle is a very interesting herb it's this weed that you can consume the seeds in fact a lot of people you have it in their backyard so you can grab some and grind the seeds and and put it on your salad and it protects the liver against poisons even poisonous snakes even poisonous mushrooms in fact if you're also on medication on a regular basis or you know someone who's on medication have them start taking milk thistle just to reduce some of the side effects but it basically gives you properties to protect the liver it also prevents fibrosis it decreases inflammation it helps neutralize toxins it helps decrease liver enzymes and it regenerates hepatocytes liver cells so as you can see it does a lot it can also help protect the liver against medication too much caffeine alcohol Tylenol lots of medications and the last thing is tocatrinols now what is tocotrinals it's a type of vitamin E anytime you have scar tissue or fibrosis vitamin E especially tocatrinos is a great thing to help break up Scar Tissue so that's why I included it on the list also it's a very powerful antioxidant to protect against free radical damage inflammation and the things that lead to fibrosis so the two things that tocotrinos will do is decrease inflammation and decrease the risk of fibrosis and if you're going to get tocotranol I would make sure you get it um as a standalone complex not added with the tocopherols because they tend to compete high iron in your blood can create inflammation and cirrhosis you also have a situation where you have blockage in your bile ducts which can back up into the liver and create a lot of liver problems including gallstones and many other issues as well as your own immune system where you have liver antibodies that are attacking your own liver rusting and I put that video up right here check it out
