the absolute best herb that you could

take for liver disease okay is this herb

called milk thistle now when i’m talking

about liver disease i’m talking about

three things fatty liver

cirrhosis which is scar tissue

and

an inflamed liver it’s called hepatitis

okay

and when we talk about a fatty liver i’m

talking about

both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

as well as alcoholic fatty liver disease

and by the way as a side note if you

look at the difference between the

non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and an

alcoholic fatty liver disease i mean

it’s almost identical so that’s actually

amazing that there’s some non-alcoholic

reasons why the liver gets fatty and

that all relates to one thing

insulin resistance there’s always this

insulin resistance in this non-alcoholic

fatty liver disease okay and that

involves too much insulin which comes

from too much sugar too much refined

carbohydrates and definitely with

fructose as in high fructose corn syrup

unfortunately more and more children

are developing a fatty liver in fact one

out of 10 kids has a fatty liver and out

of that 10 percent 17

are developing scar tissue because what

happens you go through this evolution

you have

fatty liver okay or an inflamed liver

that then turns into scar tissue which

is eventually going to turn into

cirrhosis which is the advanced form of

late end stage liver disease which is

irreversible there’s a point of no

return and the other important thing you

need to know about the liver is there’s

not a lot of symptoms

with liver damage okay until it becomes

very very end stage okay so by the time

you know you have damage a lot of times

it’s too late one way to know that the

liver is

developing fat is just to look down at

your shoes right now and if you can’t

see your shoes because your belly is

sticking out we know you have a fatty

liver

when the liver becomes fatty

it then spills over

into spaces around the liver cells as

well as around the liver itself so you

have what’s called visceral fat which is

fat around the organs

as well as inside the organs too but

ectopic fat is the fat that accumulates

outside the fat cell and it just kind of

spreads over because there’s no more

space but regardless of what kind of

liver problem you have

this is a really good remedy okay milk

thistle the group of compounds in milk

thistle that’s producing all these

wonderful effects is called silimarin

it’s kind of a collective group of

similar compounds that really can help

your liver number one

and this is the biggest effect it can

actually

protect you

against

poisons i mean medications actually

poisons too but and medications are a

poison to your liver

but things like tylenol things like

ssris in fact if you are on a medication

i highly recommend that you also at the

same time take milk thistle to protect

you against the damage also if you’re on

chemotherapy i highly recommend you take

this herb the majority of silly marin is

in the seed okay in the seed of this

weed okay

this is what it looks like and what you

do if you wanted to harvest your own

which i recommend because it’s very very

inexpensive this prickery weed is

probably in your backyard right now or

in a field that you can wait until a

certain time where this flower

turns kind of white and there’s a two

week window where you can actually

capture the seeds but this plant is

basically going to allow the wind to

spread its seeds and regrow so what you

do is you wear gloves you take the top

part of this plant off okay it’s going

to be like a white little bushy thing

with a bunch of seeds and you’re going

to hang it upside down and shake it into

a bag or a bowl and you’re going to

separate out these little things that

are attached to it they look like little

parachutes okay and you get the seeds

and you can then grind them up in a

coffee grinder and put them on your

salad you can also put them in a shake

okay let’s say you have a blueberry and

a kale shake with maybe a little kefir

you can consume them in many different

ways but milk thistle is quite amazing

it protects you against poisons

including medications it can protect you

against poisonous mushrooms it can

protect you against snake bites as in

poisonous snake bites it can protect you

against alcohol so it can do a lot for

you it also has the capacity to decrease

fat on your liver as well as help you

regenerate liver cells

it decreases liver enzymes which are an

indication that there’s liver

and it does all this through increasing

two very powerful antioxidants one is

sod and the other is glutathione okay so

they’re antioxidants

the other thing that this herb will do

relates to blood sugars it helps to

regulate blood sugars by lowering

insulin and glucose and improving

insulin resistance and as a side note to

that that may or may not be related

it’s also very very good for depression

and milk thistle can also reduce

inflammation especially hepatitis c

best foods that you can eat for a fatty

liver
