TreatmentThe body needs to be provided with the correct nutrients required by the metabolic and detoxificationpathways to effectively improve the liver function. This needs to be a combination of correct eating principlesthat should be followed generally as a way of life and the correct supplementation to give the liver/thyroid etcwhat it needs and nothing that it doesn't need as these 'extras' will only weigh it down even more.

Diet" Follow the 12 week eating plan in "Can't Lose Weight? Unlock the secrets that are keeping you fat" by DrCabot to kick start the metabolism. Then maintain the 12 vital principles of eating for a healthy liver found inDr Cabot's "The Liver Cleansing Diet" as a way of life.

" Reduce the consumption of refined carbohydrates from sugar and bread, pastry, pasta, noodles, cakes,biscuits and desserts. This will easily be achieved by following "Syndrome X" eating Plan which helps toprevent cravings for these foods.

" Increase the amount of raw fruits and vegetables" Use raw vegetable juices � see my book titled �"Raw Juices Can Save Your Life"�" Avoid deep fried and processed foods

loss. − dairy foods contain high levels of antibiotics, steroids and artificial growth hormones as this is whatthe herds are treated with in today's high tech dairies to prevent disease and boost milk production. As withhumans where substances go through into breast milk it is the same for cattle − only they neglect to tell youthis in the advertisements when they are telling you how great milk is. If you need further info on this pleasevisit www.notmilk.com.

Try some different brands and varieties of soy as they vary greatly. The fresh soy products in the dairy cabinetare much lighter and not as strong in taste as the long life products. There are also rice milks and oat milks totry

Dr Cabot's recommended supplement program for fatty liver

" Liver tonicsEssential is a specific and heavy duty liver tonic, one which contains a high dose of the herb Milk Thistle witha high standardised concentration of the active ingredient Silymarin. This heavy duty liver tonic would alsocontain additional supporting nutrients such as other herbs, amino acids, vitamins and minerals and vegetableextracts to improve the liver's ability to detoxify and burn fat.

This tonic could be combined with a general liver tonic that contains all the vital ingredients to enhance liver



function. A good, all−purpose comprehensive herbal liver tonic consists of specific herbs and amino acidswhich will improve elimination and the reduction of waste via a cleansing effect on the bowel.

" FiberIncreased consumption of fiber will speed up the passage of toxins out of the bowels and reduce the ability ofthese toxins to recirculate back to the liver. It will also assist the action of pumping fats and cholesterol outthrough the bowel actions. You can ensure you are getting enough fibre by taking a soluble fiber supplement.A good fiber product will contain soy fiber, rice bran, vegetable powders, slippery elm and peppermint willgently allivate any constipation symptoms while improving bowel tone and function. It can be added to soy,rice or oat milk, and fruit smoothies, or added in with the favorite breakfast cereal. Start on a small dose andgradully increase the amount. It is also important to drink at least 8 glasses of purified water everyday andsome people will need to drink up to 12 glasses daily. Water should be drunk gradually throughout the day,in−between meals.

" SeleniumSelenium is a powerful antioxidant mineral that works synergistically to assist in protection against furtherdamage to liver cells. A good selenium product should be combined with other other antioxidant nutrients;this may help to protect the liver from damage. It may be helpful for those with viral infections of the liver orauto−immune diseases of the liver as well as fatty liver. You would need to consume at least 200mcg daily.

" MSM with Vitamin CMSM (Methyl−Sulphonyl−Methane) is an organic form of sulphur, which may assist in softening andpreventing further scar tissue. Sulphur is a vital component of healthy bile and is eeded to produce thepowerful antioxidant called glutathione.Vitamin C will neutralize free radicals generated during the phase 1detoxification pathway in the liver and reduce toxic damage and chemical overload. Toxic chemicals are farless dangerous if there is plenty of vitamin C in the liver. It also helps the liver to regulate cholesterol levelsand improves immunity

Absorption of vital nutrients & active ingredients is superior from powders, as compared to compressedtablets which often pass through the gut without being dissolved or absorbed. Start slow with the supplementsat only a 1/4 of the dose and build up to the full dose recommended, over 2−3 weeks.

Other supplements that may be of assistance:

" Weight loss or blood sugar supplementA specific combination of herbs such as gymnema and bitter melon, combined with minerals such aschromium, zinc, selenium and lipoic acid, may help to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels; therebyreducing hunger and cravings. Try and use a supplement that contains ingredients at therapeutic doses anddoes not contain any caffeine. We recommend you avoid thermogenics based on caffeine, as this willaggravate unstable blood sugar levels and fatigue.

" Protein PowderThe most effective quality whey protein concentrate should have extra amino acids added; the most importantare taurine and glutamine along with the trace mineral chromium, which will assist with sugar cravings.Consuming a powdered protein concentrate is a low fat and low carbohydrate alternative that is easilydigestable and will provide you with instant energy. It may be added to breakfast cereals, used to make'smoothies' or mixed with water or non dairy milks such as soy, almond, oat or coconut. A good proteinconcentrate is sweetened with the natural herbal sweetener 'Stevia' and may be enjoyed at any time of the daygiving an invaluable alternative to a high carbohydrate snack or meal.

Dear Dr Cabot,My son who is 18 years old has a fatty liver and is 30 kilograms overweight. We have a family history of type11 diabetes and I am worried that he is heading in that direction. He craves sweet foods like biscuits,ice−cream, cakes and candies. He seems to be always hungry and tired. I had no idea that he could have afatty liver at this young age but the doctor found it on an ultrasound scan. The doctor also surprised me whenhe told us that he sees fatty livers in children as young as 10 to 12 years of age! There were streaks of fattyinfiltration through his liver, which the doctor pointed out to us on the ultrasound scan. His liver enzymeswere slightly raised. The doctor told us that he must lose weight and start to exercise, but it is very difficultbecause he is always tired and hungry. What do you suggest?Thank you.
