In this video, we're going to talk about cirrhosis and the early detection of silent liver cirrhosis.
What is cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis is scar tissue of the liver.
Categories of cirrhosis:
1. Compensated Cirrhosis - Where the body is compensating, there are no symptoms.
2. Decompensated Cirrhosis - This is where you start experiencing all of the symptoms.
Symptoms of cirrhosis:
• Spider Angioma - Red web-like veins
• Xanthomas - Small yellow cholesterol spots, sometimes around the eyelids
• Jaundice - The whites of the eyes and the skin become yellow
• Thin Skin - You can't make collagen anymore
• Ascites - A fluid-filled sac around the mid-section
• Gynecomastia - Breast tissue
• Clubbed fingernails
• Edema in the lower leg
• Red Palms
• Confusion
• Bruising
• Itchy skin
• Cognitive issues
What causes cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis of the liver starts with insulin resistance from:
• Alcohol
• High carb diets
• Junk food
• Sugar
• Frequent eating
• Drugs (legal or illegal)
• Viruses
Insulin resistance creates a lot of inflammation, which will also make insulin resistance worse. This situation may lead to a fatty liver, which can then lead to scar tissue in the liver that causes you to lose liver function, which is cirrhosis.
Insulin resistance is also associated with:
• Diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• Obesity
If you have symptoms of cirrhosis, you may want to start by fixing the insulin resistance.

If I knew 30 years ago what I know now, I might be healthy. When first told I had hep-c, the treatment was like Kemo or something. The Dr. told me there would be days I wouldn't be able to get out of bed because the treatment would be so bad. Also I was told there was no guarantee it would even work. I was working construction as a glazer. I couldn't take days off. couldn't feel anything wrong with me and thought I was healthy and strong as an ox. Then it got bad. By then they had the 8 week daily pill that cured the hep-c in less than 8 weeks. Even though I was cured of hep-c which I think I got at the hosp. when they had to operate on my broken compound fracture femur. That was back in 1980 before they checked the blood for diseases. But how do you prove that? Now I have outlived what the "specialist told me my time left. And I suffer all the time. Can't sleep, always in pain, can't eat hardly anything. Good luck to everyone!

22 years and 5 months sober. Was drinking 3 bottles of Vodka a day at my very lowest point. Admitted myself to hospital where I was successfully detoxed. A liver biopsy revealed a very fatty liver. Fortunately I had no sign of hepatitis or fibrosis and a few months later my liver was completely normal. Wished I sought some support as it was hard facing life without alcohol at the age of 30. I wish anyone who is battling alcohol dependency all the very best. 🙏🏼

@myyoutubechannel3161 Год назад

You had a liver biopsy how was the test performed?

@chrisk7082 Год назад

@@myyoutubechannel3161 hello 👋 so they gave me a local anaesthetic then inserted a needle into my liver, just below the ribs on the right side of my abdomen. They took a sliver of liver and then it was sent to histopathology for examination under a microscope (I presume) the results showed that I had steatosis (basically liver fat) fortunately I had no inflammation or fibrosis. After 6 months of abstinence I had my liver function blood tests repeated and an ultrasound of my liver. They were completely normal as I had stopped drinking. The worst thing about the biopsy was having to lie still for 6 hours on my left side. This is to prevent any bleeding. That was done on Christmas Eve 1999. I got my results back on the 6th of January. I know a bit about the liver so was very relieved that they caught it early as once scarring occurs it’s permanent and can still progress to cirrhosis over a few years despite abstinence. Technology has now changed and there is a very quick non invasive ultrasound that can detect the density of your liver and if the result is out of the normal range then they will advise accordingly depending on how high the reading is. Hope this was useful.

Yeah liver issues is probably much worst than heart issues. Your liver takes a hell of a beating with sugar, fats, enzymes, etc and anything you consume in large amount could kill your liver. Don't do drugs, alcohol or smoke. These 3 things will kill your liver. Also don't eat too much fatty food every day like a quadruple double cheese burger with sugar soda everyday.

@Harry Notwoke BTW: as far as “apply for a new liver”? That’s a lie. Many people die waiting on a new liver after getting on the waiting list. And it’s hard enough to even get on the waiting list. There are so many factors that come into play via the national transplant list. Whoever said that was sadly misinformed. I guess he/she would rather die than clean up and start fresh.

This was great! I've had high cholesterol for years and just recently have elevated LFTs 6 months ago, So I begin to become more proactive with what I was eating, I started drinking Apple cider vinegar every day, and exercised more, then went back to the doctor and my liver enzymes are now normal but I still need to exercise and lose more weight.

@retiredyeti5555 3 года назад

You explained it better than my internist - I am prediabetic due to my diet for years. As a nurse, I should have known better, but there is a saying that doctors and nurses make the worst patients, and it is true! Got up to fullblown type 2 about 1 1/2 years ago, then buckled down and got back to pre-diabetic stage within 6 months and have stayed there. It is a struggle, given the proliferation of processed and fast food in the US. Your videos have been a huge help to me..Thank you!

Once you have killed your liver AKA cirrhosis- there's no undoing that and if you have actual liver disease 7 Day water fasts can be deadly as you don't want too much sodium.... Like what- I swear every comment is the same. If you're just dealing with insulin resistance go comment on your keto video's, this is about cirrhosis. Is Dr Berg going to get you a liver transplant too even though you don't need one?!

Good thing I started Green tea (January 2019) ,kicked out MOST fruit (except raspberries,blueberries & blackberries),pasta/whole grain HIGH CARB foods,HIGH sugar foods (high fructose corn syrup,donuts,most breads),which lead to me doing keto/IF for almost 1 year(May 01 2022.

Alcohol turns to glucose or sugar in your liver, so do processed foods. Whole, plant based foods should compose most of your diet in order to keep your glucose levels low and have a healthy liver.😊

Never give up! Romans 10:9; John 3:16.

Another great video. Four months ago, I started the diet to lose weight and didn’t research it at all before starting. Actually I intended to just do the old Atkins. Then I saw all the info on the internet about Keto and decided to give it a try. Feeling so good and having so much more energy took me completely by surprise. To the extent that I intend to stay on the “diet” once I lose the weight I am looking for. Right after I started, I bought a blood glucose meter and realized I was very close to pre-diabetic numbers. But all that has changed and the difference in how I feel is amazing. I am not and do not plan to abstain from alcohol. I simply have too much fun and very much enjoy a nice glass or two of wine with my dinner. But, these videos of yours have made me cut back dramatically. I have a very good doctor who is pretty open to non-drug remedies. I am interested in getting her take on all of this whenever I need to go back (I haven’t been to see her since beginning Keto). Thanks again and keep them coming!
