Fatty Liver - Debi / Moderators

July 31, 2003

Here is the letter that I tried to post yesterday. (I have revised it a

touch, because in my original post I forgot to add what I was doing with

the Milk Thistle.) Please let me know why my post would not meet your

standards. Thank you. Kind regards, Trudy Newman

Hi Debi,

I am diabetic (Type II) and have liver problems, along with fatty

liver. An alt MD, that I was in touch with over the Internet, told me

that fatty liver is common in diabetics, and is universal in obese

individuals. She told me that the French used to force-feed geese to

produce fatty liver for their " pate de foie gras. " Apparently fatty

liver can interfere with all the biochemical reactions in the body, so

treating it should be a #1 priority.

I did some study on my own, and found the following links helpful.

Be sure to take a look at the normal liver and then the fatty liver:

My local MD is having me do the following protocol for my fatty liver:

Taurine (Thorne) 500 mg, 3 x per day

Phosphatidyl Choline (Natural Factors) 420 mg, 3 x per day

Lipotropic 1000 Plus (Solaray), 3 x per day

N'Acetyl L-Cysteine (Natural Factors) 500 mg, 3 x per day

I also take the following, which I added on my own (with my doctors full

approval):

Milk Thistle & Dandelion (Trophic), 3 x per day

Super Milk Thistle (Enzymatic Therapy), 3 x per day

Artichoke, (Cynarol, Dr. Dunner), 3 x per day

The alt MD that I was in touch with over the Internet told me that it

was a very good program. She said that fatty liver could be treated in

six weeks, but my local alt MD said six months. I don't know how long

it will take, but I am just stayin' with the program. ;-) LOL

Hope this is helpful for you.

Kind regards,

Trudy
