A book by Dr Sandra Cabot
Introduction
Is your liver a ticking time bomb?
Fatty liver can –
- Ruin your health
- Make you overweight
- Stop you from losing weight
- Make you diabetic
- Cause cirrhosis and liver failure
This book will provide you with a plan to reverse fatty liver, improve your liver function and restore your health.
Over the past 35 years of practising medicine, I have seen patients heal themselves from so called “incurable” diseases and dozens of common and chronic health problems when they concentrated on improving their liver function. And unfortunately, I’ve also seen patients lose their lives because of liver failure.
The truth is, in most cases serious illnesses don’t happen overnight. Your body produces warning signs and symptoms of a potential or evolving health problem.
The problem is most people don’t know how to interpret or detect these signals early enough to do anything about them.
The most important thing is that you do not wait until it is too late!
Unfortunately I cannot claim to be a guru, a saint or a miracle healer, but I can claim to have a lot of experience in healing various types of liver disease using nutritional medicine.
I cannot promise to heal your liver problem but I can show you the way to try effectively to optimise your chances.
Fortunately of all the organs in the body the liver is most able to repair and renew itself but you need to give it the right tools – I will repeat this saying several times and it’s never too late to try.
Can you imagine a world in which fatty liver disease and liver failure will be as huge a public health concern as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes?
Furthermore fatty liver, if not reversed, is often a trigger for cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
Liver disease is an emerging epidemic and education and knowledge are the most powerful tools we have available today to prevent liver disease. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease affects 15 – 33% of adult Australians.
In 2009 it has been estimated that up to 6% of school-age children are suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition that can lead to diabetes, liver disease and eventually liver failure.
The American Liver Foundation (ALF) has developed the Love Your Liver Youth Education Program specifically geared toward children aged 5-17 years. This program speaks to children in an age-appropriate way to educate them on liver wellness. (www.liverfoundation.org/chapters/yep)
Liver disease is most commonly caused by incorrect diet and excess consumption of alcohol but the over prescribing of drugs is also an emerging cause.
In Australia 2 – 4% of all hospital admissions are related to drug side effects and this increases to 30% for patients aged over 75 years. In 1998 an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that prescribed drugs kill more than 106,000 Americans each year. Another two million Americans experience severe drug reactions—and that’s just from medications prescribed by medical doctors! The facts are, drugs are one of the main causes of liver damage and liver failure! These adverse drug reactions make prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death in America!
No wonder people are turning towards nutritional medicine, which is not only safer, but is more effective in the long term.
