so today we’re going to talk about early detection of silent liver cirrhosis now

here’s the problem with cirrhosis which is basically scar tissue of the liver

there is real no symptoms initially for decades until the later stages so you

don’t really always know that you have cirrhosis however there is one symptom

that most people do experience and that would be feeling sluggish and tired but

that could be coming from a lot of different things you might not recognize

it so the two categories of cirrhosis are compensated cirrhosis where the

body’s compensating so really there’s no symptoms in this phase and then over

time you develop what’s called decompensated cirrhosis where you start

experiencing all these other symptoms so these are some of the symptoms that you

experience when you have cirrhosis one is spider angioma which is something on

your skin you have this little red dot with these little red like spider webs

coming out from it xanthomas which are little cholesterol spots sometimes

you see them around the eyelids they’re yellow because the liver is not

functioning correctly jaundice where your whites of your eyes

become yellow and also your skin starts to become yellow that’s liver damage

theater skin because you can’t make collagen anymore so you get this paper

like skin on the back of your hand and you can see it pretty much all over and

then you have something called ascites which is a fluid-filled sac around your

midsection it might look like it’s a fat gut but it’s really fluid that’s leaking

out from the liver creating like a potbelly next one gynecomastia which is

basically breast tissue Club fingernails okay so they’re like a little square

little clubbed shape edema in the lower leg you see this very very often with

liver damage and you press your finger in the lower calf or the lower part of

the leg and you lead a little dent okay that’s edema swelling read palms

confusion bruising itchy skin itchy feet cognitive issues so your focus your

memory your concentration just isn’t there so if you do research on cirrhosis

you see that people get a list for a liver transplant

they’re put on maybe some supportive medication for other diseases

but they don’t really tell you what to do to prevent it or they don’t give you

advice to what to do naturally but there’s a lot of confusion on this okay

that I want to sort out right now because they’ll say that cirrhosis is

associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty

liver disease is associated with diabetes and metabolic syndrome and

obesity and so you just need to lose weight and manage your diabetes symptoms

but they don’t really sort out cause and effect in what comes first second and

third well I’m just gonna explain right now very simply it all starts with

something called insulin resistance okay and that’s created from alcohol or if

you’re doing a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease it can be created from junk food

a high carbohydrate diet sugar frequent eating drugs legally or illegally or

even a virus could actually trigger insulin resistance okay when you have

instant resistance you also have high levels of insulin okay then you’re going

to get inflammation so this condition creates a lot of inflammation the

inflammation will also make the insulin resistance worse then comes the fatty

liver 65 million Americans have a fatty liver that’s incredible that’s a large

percentage so then after a fatty liver you get scar tissue that replaces the

normal liver cell and that’s called cirrhosis so you get the scar tissue so

you have a combination of fatty liver and inflamed liver that then becomes

filled with scar tissue and you lose function so in summary insulin

resistance causes the liver to be fatty okay insulin resistance is basically

what causes diabetes okay and diabetes you’re always gonna see insulin

resistance type 2 diabetes I’m talking about that’s the trigger of it because

it goes from insulin resistance creates high insulin over a long period of time

then what happens you get a burnin effects where the pancreas can’t keep up

and then the blood sugar starts going high that’s called pre-diabetes

then it goes higher and then it’s a full-blown diabetes type 2 metabolic

syndrome is basically high cholesterol blood sugar problems belly fat all

symptoms coming from insulin resistance they kind of put it in this syndrome

like it’s a it’s like a disease by itself when in fact it’s just a bunch of

symptoms that are caused by this right here okay obesity it’s caused by instant

resistance high levels of insulin and then cirrhosis is also caused by instant

resistance so this is really at the core of this right here so if you start

having some of these symptoms I’m gonna recommend that you start focusing on

this right here improve insulin resistance and then see if these don’t

improve as well I put a link down below for more information on this and what

you need to do thanks for watching so I want to know about what you think about
