- Hey, Doctor Barry here.
In this quick video I'm going to talk to you
about a topic that is so important,
fatty liver and how to cure it?
That's right, cure it,
get rid of it,
you don't have it anymore, okay.
Fatty liver disease is a huge epidemic in the US
and the UK, Australia, Canada.
You're gonna wind up losing a loved one you cherish
to fatty liver if we don't start turning the tide
on this epidemic.
Before I get started please take one second,
click the subscribe button,
that way every time I have a bright idea
you'll be one of the very first to know, okay.
Now, fatty liver disease,
this is a huge epidemic that you may
not have heard of at all.
Maybe you have but if you haven't you need to
and so do your friends and neighbors.
Fatty liver,
also called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,
or if your liver's inflamed we sometimes
as doctors call it non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, okay.
All these things mean basically the same thing,
that your body has inappropriately stored fat
in your liver.
Not a good thing,
huge risk factor for liver failure,
for death, for heart disease.
We'll get into all that in just a few minutes.
Let me give you a few facts
about fatty liver disease and how common it is?
You're gonna be blown away by this, okay.
And then at the end of this video I'm gonna tell you
how to cure fatty liver in either yourself
or a loved one, okay.
First of all,
30 to 40% of adults in the US
and in most Western Society have fatty liver,
three to four out of 10, right.
That's nuts. That's ridiculous, okay.
And fatty liver's self-inflicted
and I'm gonna tell you how to cure it.
But three out of four out of 10 people you know
have fatty liver disease as an adult.
What about kids?
Of course kids don't have this, right?
No, you're wrong.
One out of every 10 kids in America,
down to as young as three years old,
depending on how terrible their diet is,
can have fatty liver disease, yeah.
There are actually teenagers
on the liver transplant list now
because of their fatty liver disease.
I mean, all doctors in America should literally
hang their head in shame that this is occuring
because it's entirely, 100% preventable
and 100% curable if you eat the right diet
and do the things that I talk about later
in this video.
Of type two diabetics,
if you're a type two diabetic you have a 40
to 80% chance of having fatty liver disease, okay.
So if you're a type two diabetic,
if you're overweight,
if you have insulin resistance
you're almost guaranteed
to have fatty liver disease,
so you really need to do what I'm
about to talk about, okay.
So why do we care?
Well, because it is now the leading cause
of liver failure and people being
on the liver transplant list.
It's even more dangerous than alcoholism,
than overdosing on Tylenol,
than having hepatitis,
that's how bad fatty liver disease is.
So you really need to do these things I'm
about to talk about 'cause I wanna teach you
how to fix your fatty liver.
I wanna teach you
how to help your mom fix her fatty liver
or your uncle or your friend across the road.
Because if they have fatty liver it's quite possible
that their doctor hasn't even made a big deal
about it, okay,
but it is a huge deal.
So how do you fix fatty liver?
You know me,
I talk about the practical.
I talk about the common sense.
I talk about what you can do today
to begin to fix things?
And that's what I'm gonna talk about in this video.
First I wanna tell you about the most likely things
that are gonna fix this and then we'll talk
about a few other things that might help a little bit
but I want you to always focus on the 80%.
Don't focus on the 20%, right,
focus on the big picture,
what's really gonna have the most effect
for the least amount of effort,
and that's what I'm gonna talk about
first 'cause that's the most important.
Now, if you have someone who has fatty liver
or who is overweight or type two diabetic
that you know,
please share this video with them
'cause it could literally change their life
and literally save their life, right.
Here we go.
In Western Society,
in America any time we wanna fix a problem
what do we do?
We wanna buy something,
we wanna go get something,
we wanna basically add something
to the system, right?
And for fatty liver like many of the diseases,
the chronic diseases that we all suffer from,
it's not a question of what you add
to the disease it's a question
of what do you subtract?
What do you take out of your system?
What do you stop putting in your system?
And fatty liver disease falls perfectly
in this category.
If you want to cure your fatty liver disease you
have to stop fructose.
You have to stop sugars.
You have to stop starches.
You have to stop simple carbs, that's it.
That is the cure.
I'm not joking,
you can literally turn off the video right now
and go and make those changes in your life
and cure your fatty liver, okay.
Now, I'm gonna get into a few more details
so you might wanna stay tuned
but it's up to you because that's he 80%.
Literally fructose, sugars,
starches, simple carbs,
that's it, stop those.
Those are poisoning your body.
They are making your biochemical digestive system
inappropriately lay down fat in your liver
and also lay down fat in your pancreas.
Fatty pancreas is also a very bad thing.
I've got another video back on my channel here
about fatty pancreas if you wanna check that out.
But fatty liver as we talked
about is a huge medical risk,
so you gotta fix this.
Okay, so fructose,
whether it comes from a soft drink
in the from of high fructose corn syrip
or whether it comes from a delicious,
ripe organic peach is digested completely differently
in your body from other sugars and starches, okay.
And it's highly likely it's going to be laid down
as fat in your liver.
So you've gotta get the fructose out
of your life completely,
but don't just think it's fructose
and nothing else, okay.
Because you know sugar,
sugar's made up of glucose and fructose, right.
So if anything is presweetened,
that's gonna make your fatty liver worse
or it's gonna increase your risk
of developing fatty liver disease, okay.
All the starches,
all the simple sugars,
as soon as you eat them and your acid breaks them
up and digests them they turn into some combination
of glucose and
fructose, that's right, exactly right.
Even the carbs in broccoli
break down ultimately into glucose
and fructose but they're so locked up
in the fiber and they're so blended
with great vitamins,
minerals and nutrients that I think it's okay
to get those carbs in cruciferous vegetables,
in leafy greens,
I think those carbs are acceptable
because they're so locked up in the fiber
if you eat them raw or lightly steamed
and they're so filled with nutrition,
I think they're okay.
But the starches from any grain,
any grain whatsoever is going
to make your fatty liver worse.
You gotta stop the grains.
You gotta stop anything that has fructose in it
and you gotta stop the sugars,
the starches, that's it.
That's the solution,
that's the cure.
We could literally wipe out the epidemic
of fatty liver disease by just following those things.
One more thing you've gotta get out of your life
because it inflames your liver which can cause your liver
to jay down more fat than it might would otherwise,
is the vegetable oil.
And I do this
because there's no vegetables in them, right.
Canola, safflower,
soybean oil, all those gotta go, okay.
They inflame your liver
and that's gonna make your liver lay down fat
which you do not want.
You gotta cook your foods in real fats
like bacon grease, lard,
avocado oil, olive oil,
butter, right.
Those are the things you cook in.
If you've got canola oil in your kitchen right now
pause this video,
push the pause button.
Get up and go to the kitchen right now
and throw that crap in the garbage
'cause that's where it belongs, okay.
Now, other things that you can do
that might help with fatty liver
and these are the 20%,
so don't focus on these.
These are just little extras
so that after you're already doing the 80%
you can also do these
for maybe a little added benefit.
One is vitamin D,
vitamin D has been associated,
low vitamin D is associated
with worse fatty liver disease.
Now, that does not mean that low vitamin D causes it
but it might help it a little bit.
So make sure you're taking
a good quality vitamin D supplement every day,
that might help a little bit.
Taking Glucofage, which is a prescription medication
has been shown in a couple of studies
to be associated with improving fatty liver.
It does not mean that it improves fatty liver
but it definitely doesn't hurt
so you might consider if your doctor
has you on Glucophage or Metformin
continuing to take that.
Omega 3 fatty acids look like
they probably help fatty liver a little bit.
That does not mean go buy a supplement.
What I would prefer you do
is just eat more grass fed meats
that have omega 3s,
more pastured eggs that have omega 3 in the yolk,
more butter that's grass fed butter
and get more omega 3s,
that's probably going to help the fatty liver.
What else, now I'll tell you some no's,
absolutely don't do this for your fatty liver.
If any guru or health expert says, hey,
I've got this liver cleanse,
I've got this liver supplement,
no, that is a waste of money.
You don't need that, okay.
All you need to do is focus
on the 80% I talked about earlier.
Do not buy pills,
powders, supplements,
none of that stuff is gonna help your liver, okay.
You don't need to add anything to this equation,
you just need to subtract the poison,
get it out, okay.
If your doctor says,
hey, take Statin drug,
that'll get the fat out of your liver,
no, there is no research that shows that at all.
That's dumb, don't do that, okay.
Your doctor may instead of using Glucophage
or Metformin, he may say,
hey, you should take Actos or Avandia
'cause there's some research that shows they help
with fatty liver, no.
If you look at the research, it's dumb.
Don't do that.
Don't take Avandia and Actos.
Those are not good type two diabetes medications, okay.
You wanna focus on Matformin or Glucophage.
Matformin and Glucophage has this false reputation
of being hard on your kidneys but that's dumb.
What's really hard on your kidneys
is when your blood sugar's high
and when you're insulin level's high.
That's what destroys your kidneys.
So if your doctor says,
hey, take some Glucophage,
it might help,
yeah, it's probably a good thing to do
but don't think that that's the solution.
The solution is to fix your diet, okay.
Two of the ways you don't wanna fix fatty liver
unless they're just a last stitch effort,
one is bariatric surgery,
stomach stapling, the donut procedure,
any of those bariatric surgery options.
Fix your fatty liver with your diet,
don't fix it with surgery, okay.
It works, no doubt,
but my God, what a sacrifice,
what a compromise to have permanent,
unchangeable surgery to your gastrointestinal system
rather than just fix your diet.
I don't get the logic in that.
And the last way to fix fatty liver
is with a liver transplant
and if you don't fix your diet one day
that'll become your only option.
You'll have no option but to fix it
by being on the liver transplant list
and waiting for someone
to die so you can have their liver.
I really don't recommend that as a way
to do this at all, okay.
Focus on the 80%.
If you wanna add the 20%,
if you have the money and the means to do that,
that's okay, but that's not the solution.
The solution is to fix your diet
in just the ways I told you above.
And then you will have zero chance
of ever developing fatty liver disease
unless you're a drinker or you overdose
on medications or you have hepatitis,
otherwise you'll never get fatty liver disease
if you fix your diet.
