Liver Blood Deficiency and Eye Floaters

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I recently found out that floaters in the eye may be caused by Liver

Blood Deficiency. Also, I noticed that I had some of the symptoms of

Liver Blood Deficiency, like dull headaches behind the eyes,

occasional dizziness, and brittle, pittied nails. What if any natural

remedies exist for this Liver Blood Deficiency? Thanks for any

responses.

Matt,

 

from personal experience with Liver Blood Deficiency, the doctrine of signature

works well here. Eat Liver. If you can handle it, lots of people I guess don't

like Liver too much, but if you cook it properly it does actually help very fast

and can get rid of floaters in a hurry (not sure though about other symptoms).

Worked for me anyway.

There are plenty of formulas for this condition, though I'd like to add

a dietary idea too, and that is eating liver, if that isn't a problem.

Thanks Claudia and Al for the replies. What kind of liver and how

should it be prepared? I.e. is chop liver acceptable? I haven't

eaten it since I was small and even then I remember a distaste for it,

but then again my palate has changed substantially. Is fish liver

okay, or only beef liver?

 

Thanks again!

Hi Matt:

 

You might like to try some veal liver. Where I am veal is very high, but for

some reason my grocery store can obtain fresh veal liver at a very reasonable

price (probably because so many people will not eat liver). I usually buy

the whole liver (from a special order) which can weigh from six to eight

pounds. My store cuts and wraps it for the freezer free and the meat cutters

even put the correct number of slices into the package for everyone in the

family. It is so tender and milder in flavor compared with other liver I

have tried. Much better than the calves liver most grocery stores sell

prepackaged and already frozen from meat sellers such as Armour.

 

To make liver milder in taste it can be soaked in some milk in the

refrigerator (for an hour or so), then drained and dipped in some flour to

saute. My family prefers the taste of bacon fat with the liver, so I first

fry some bacon, salt and pepper the floured liver, and then saute in the

bacon grease. Do not over cook or it will toughen. After doing this I saute

some onions in the pan over a moderate heat which caramelizes and sweetens

them. Use lots of them to counter the taste in liver most people do not like

(this is why the bacon grease is used too), then I put the cooked onions over

the liver which I have kept warm and crumble the cooked bacon over the top.

This is probably not something that should be eaten that often (as it is very

rich made this way), but every two weeks or so this is what I do to get

everyone to eat their liver. If you still do not care for the taste you

might like to try some ketchup with it.

As far as I know any kind of Liver will do, chicken Liver I find tastes better,

or turkey.

I am German so I make my Liver with caramelized onions and apples and mash

potatoes. That's the way my mom used to make it when I was a kid and I like it

that way.

Don't know anything about fish liver.

If you want a Liver recipe let me know, I can help you out with that.

I suspect that the Chinese nutrition texts are focused mostly on beef

liver, though from personal experience, I'm more into calve's liver as

it is more tender and has less connective tissue.

 

If you poach it in a mixture of white wine and water for like a half

hour it can get very tender. I myself like to add some saute'ed

mushroom and onions to the mix and maybe top if off with a dab of sour

creme/dijon mustard combo. Then again, I need to gain weight, not sure

if that applies to you.

 

I also like chicken livers, but again, I'm not sure if the chicken

aspect alters its energetics.

 

By the way, a quick look through one of my formula books suggests a

formula called " Bu Gan Tang (Tonify the Liver Decoction) " for your

floaters. I don't know if that kind of formula is available for you

locally, but you can look for it at http://craneherb.com to see if it

is available in pill or premade form.

Matt,

 

The following page has two liver recipes on it and several others related to

boosting iron content. (I came across it while researching blackstrap molasses

recipes and ideas for incorporating it into my diet...) Hope this helps!
