9 Strategies to Heal Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver affects 25% of the World Population. A global epidemic, fatty liver is diagnosed when you have over 5% of liver weight as accumulated fat.  NAFLD or “Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease” has no signs or symptoms, so you might carry an advanced case of it for years and not know it. The liver is the largest organ in the body. The liver is like the “Project Manager”, responsible for detox and filtering to keep the blood clean, and many other functions.

The main cause of fatty liver is an unhealthy diet high in sugars. Does this sound familiar? Are the causes of NAFLD nearly the same as the causes of other chronic modern diseases? Diabetes, Heart, Diseease, Cancer, Migraines, and Alzheimer’s have many traits in common. Yes! And the solutions to all these diseases are almost the same! Cleanse your liver and treat it with love. Switch to a healthier lifestyle that supports and strengthens all organs. Give your body some time to deeply clean out toxins you’ve been exposed to in our modern world. Then your liver and the rest of your organs can do what they are meant to do – keep you vibrant, healthy, and strong!

1. FATTY LIVER affects 25% of the Global Population, leading to other co-morbities, chronic diseases like Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolic syndrome, Obesity, Cancer, High blood pressure, and Heart disease.

• In the U.S., an estimated 30% of adults have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common chronic liver disease.
• In people with obesity, up to 90% have NAFLD, as do up to 75% of those who are overweight and 50% of people with diabetes.
• Even 10% of U.S. children are suffering from NAFLD..
• The high rates of NAFLD are likely related to the increased intake of toxic industrially processed seed oils, high carb empty foods, and environmental pollutants like glyphosate and PFAS.
• Lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise play important roles in exacerbating, as well as reducing, risk of developing NAFLD.
• Fructose overload that causes Fatty liver disease can also lead to other ailments, such as Insulin resistance, Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolic syndrome, Obesity, Cancer, High blood pressure, and Heart disease.

2. Risk factors for Fatty Liver Disease:

• High blood sugar, prediabetes or type 2 diabetes
• Celiac Disease
• Metabolic syndrome
• High blood pressure – Hypertension
• Obesity
• Drinking sweet caffeinated beverages, coffee, tea, with sugar, and soft drinks
• Consumption of Refined Seed Oils or fried foods soybean, cottonseed, sunflower, rapeseed (canola), corn and safflower.
• Eating an unhealthy diet (foods that are processed or do not have many nutrients)
• Lack of Choline in Diet
• Low-Fiber diet (white rice, flour, noodles, fast food)
• High Sugar Foods (white rice, flour, noodles, fast food)
• Exposure to chemical toxins, pesticides, herbicides, glyphosate
• Exposure to some Drugs, Vaccines, and Pharmaceuticals, and their side effects.
• Lack of sunlight
• Lack of exercise

3. Causes of Fatty Liver Disease Include Over-consumption of Sweets and more…

• Insulin resistance and blood sugar imbalance
• Over-consumption of sugars
• Hepatitis and other viruses
• Side Effects from Pharmaceuticals and Vaccines
• Addiction to Sugar and Carbs
• Microbiome imbalance such as Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
• Alcohol consumption
• Exposure to farming chemicals and Monsanto’s glyphosate.

4. Refined Seed Oils Make Fatty Liver Disease Worse. Clean them out of your kitchen and use the best oils: Grass-fed Butter, Ghee, Coconut,  Mustard, Palm oil, and Lard.

Avoid modern seed oils like soybean, cottonseed, sunflower, rapeseed (canola), corn and safflower.

Eating seed oils high in the omega-6 PUFA linoleic acid (LA) contributes to low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Researchers in the journal Nutrients recently noted: “Studies suggest that omega-6 PUFA is related to chronic inflammatory diseases such as obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular disease.”

The global high rates of NAFLD are probably related to the increased intake of toxic industrially refined seed oils, often called “vegetable oils.” Seed oils high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) include soybean, cottonseed, sunflower, rapeseed (canola), corn and safflower.

Eat Traditional Oils LOWEST in Linoleic acid. Best oils are Grass-fed Butter, Ghee, Coconut, Avocado, Mustard, Artisan Olive oil, Palm oil, and Lard. These are the oils of our great grandmothers, and in their time, illnesses like diabetes, liver cancer, and heart disease were rare.

AVOID Refined Vegetable Oils HIGH in Linoleic Acid: Avoid Corn, Soy, Refined, Canola, Margarine, Safflower, Grapeseed, Sunflower, Commercial Olive oil, Sesame, Rice Bran, and Peanut Oil.

In order to avoid LA, we need to avoid eating processed foods, fast foods and most restaurant foods and focus on real food instead. Fatty liver can also be driven by excess sugar when, you are consuming more than 35% of your calories as fat, especially seed oils.

5. Fatty Liver is Linked to Choline Deficiency

Choline, an essential nutrient, is also important for normal liver function and liver health, yet most American’s a sadly deficient in choline.

Food Sources of Choline
Choline is found in a variety of foods. The richest sources are liver, meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs. Beef, beef liver, Egg yolks Chicken breast, Fish, Shiitake mushrooms, Legumes (beans, peanuts) Milk, Yogurt, Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) Sunflower seeds (Source: https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/choline/)

“The disappearance of liver and egg yolks from the American diet that takes most of the blame for NAFLD.”
Chris Masterjohn, Ph.D. in Nutritional Science

In addition, a 2017 investigation published in the journal Nature: Scientific Reports made the definitive link between NAFLD and the consumption of GMO foods, especially those that have been sprayed with even the smallest amounts of the pesticide Roundup. Source:

6. Recommended Supplements And Therapies to Support Liver 

• Take Choline-rich foods: liver, meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs.
• Milk Thistle herb
• Epsom salt baths
• Castor oil packs
• Dandelion Root
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Turmeric
• Cinnamon
• Oregano
• Bhumi Amala (Phyllanthus niruri) herb

7. Avoid Sugar, Sweets and Refined Grains.

Sugar and carbohydrate addiction is a serious condition. Sugar is found in every food in some form. Avoid the Silent Killers: Avoid these Favorite Foods that convert to sugar in the body. Instead of high-sugar foods, eat whole unprocessed vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
