i had a question recently that i wanted to answer

and this was the question will a liver cleanse

help my cirrhosis or will it help my fatty liver

my ammonia is high and is the liver cleanse gonna help me so

let’s just talk about that now the first thing you should know

about cirrhosis it’s an advanced situation in fact your risk for cancer

goes way up uh 80 percent of people with liver

cancer have some type of cirrhosis going on

because cancer tends to grow in damaged tissue

and as you damage the liver certain things don’t work anymore there’s an

enzyme called arginase this is an enzyme that is involved

in something called the urea cycle see when you break down protein into amino

acids the extra amount of it uh has to go

through as waste nitrogen waste so arginase

is necessary in making sure that happens making sure that there’s a complete

breakdown so it can exit the body without any

toxicity if there’s not enough arginase in the

liver we get an incomplete breakdown of arginine this is the amino

acid then we get higher amounts of ammonia

in the blood which can travel up to the brain

and that can create a lot of different side effects like

coma dementia all sorts of brain problems seizures

tremors so ammonia is very very toxic and too

much ammonia that builds up into the brain or the tissues

really is there because there’s not enough this enzyme because there’s

damage in the liver so the body cannot go

through its normal urea cycle and um clean up this extra

amount of protein going on now just as a side note when i’m talking

about damage to the liver i’m not just talking about cirrhosis

which kind of leaves your liver cells dysfunctional it can also be

a severely inflamed liver so you can have hepatitis

which leaves your liver dysfunctional you can have a fatty liver which

stops the function or scar tissue and sometimes the fat in the liver

creates inflammation that develops in the scar

sometimes inflammation in the liver leads to insulin resistance

which then creates more fat in the liver then you have a situation we have

inflammation in the liver which directly turns into scar tissue

that’s cirrhosis now the big question is will a liver cleanse

help this well the problem is your liver is not dysfunctional because there’s

toxins in it necessarily this is a progressive

chronic condition that has developed over years

that a liver cleanse probably is not going to even touch

it may instead stir up a hornet’s nest it may

make your symptoms worse it could actually release

certain bacteria certain chemicals that are lodged in your fat cells and then

actually recirculate through your blood end up in your thyroid and create all

sorts of problems so i don’t recommend a liver cleanse what i

do recommend is this number one i know this might

shock you but i’m going to recommend keto why

because keto is a much cleaner fuel it creates

less inflammation than carbs it’s very beneficial to your liver and

it can help you in reducing a fatty liver

number two fasting what is that good for inflammation it’ll help you drop

inflammation it’ll give your liver a chance to heal and that’s what

we’re trying to minimize is the inflammation here to allow it to heal

so these two are essential you want to make sure that you do not consume too

much protein three ounces per meal would be perfect

why because the problem is that we have an

incomplete protein breakdown so why would we want to add more protein

to your liver it’s already damaged you don’t have enough of this enzyme

next thing to do is to take a product that has l-arginine

and manganese manganese is a good trace mineral to help detoxify you

and the amino acid which is a non-essential one l-arginine as a

supplement it’s usually in a powder you can get it in capsules

can help reduce ammonia if there’s not enough arginase there’s not going to be

enough arginine so manganese is a precursor or a

building block for arginase and it can help to

increase the ability to detoxify the body number five we want to

increase vegetables and celery that gives us chlorophyll

and other natural phytochemicals to help the liver function a lot better

so instead of a detox cleanse the best way to clean the liver is

through the natural phytonutrients that comes from

food and chlorophyll will help as well the phytonutrients in plants

are enzymes that help different phases of detoxification

and without side effects so these are very very important in the

detoxification number six tocatrinals this is a type of

vitamin e that comes in handy and it’s a very

powerful antioxidant in fact the tocotrienols

version of vitamin e is 50 times stronger than the tocopherols

and it can greatly and help inhibit inflammation

so if you have the start of cirrhosis or you have cirrhosis in the liver which is

scar tissue vitamin e is going to help in this form talk adrenals

but if you think about it vitamin e is good for scars right

helps break down scar tissue well why can’t it work

for scar tissue on the inside of the body as well

very important and number seven probiotics

there’s some great research on probiotics that can help decrease

ammonia in the body as well i put a link down below

but this is the protocol that i would recommend uh

way better than a liver cleanse by itself thanks for watching

before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto

and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on

keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth

i have a keto consultant standing by to help you

this is just for the people in the us hopefully in the future we’ll be able to

answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below so you

can call and get some help
