Is eating venison liver bad for your health?

No sugar No carb diet here, How do you gain weight without damaging your body?
@@hughpatrick3738ppl
I had fatty liver disease for a several years due to me eating fast food on a daily basis, my doctor said my liver could be dead in 4-5 years if I didn’t do anything about it. I ended up dieting and exercising, doing intermittent fasting, and it reversed. I was so happy.
Me too. I was drinking too. I had fatty liver, and got healthy after 3 months, then went back to bad habits. A few years later it was a lot worse than the first time. Last year I had to make a major life change, and I'm still not where I'd like to be. Ketosis, fasting, and exercise are challenging, especially with timing.
What does this have to do with a fatty liver weirdo @RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist-.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- Why should one repent to Jesus and not to the Lord of Jesus?
John 5:30
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
where is your jesus now @RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- ? lol, 🤣😂🤣
how long is your intermittent fasting, ?
I’m a nurse, I like your easy explanation of liver damage and function. You are a fine educator.
Thank you @mwhite1474. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I was sick with autoimmune liver cirrhosis, and waited for 2 years on a list to get a transplant. I got the phone call from the hospital at days of dying. I clinically died a few times because I had hemorrhages in the oesophagus, I also convulsed a number of times because my blood was poisoned, got in the hospital for blood infections 2 times, and I had multiple toxic dementia episodes. Dying of a liver cirrhosis is a terrible way to go. I'm forever grateful to the doctors and nurses who saved my life multiple times.

As a truckdriver nearly all the food at the truckstop is deep fried in these bad oils nothing baked not even the fish or potatoes
Those deep fried foods can make you tired so I would make a nice guacamole salad and putting some lemon juice in there to keep it fresh or a good sandwich that keeps well.
I'm sorry that it's so hard to be able to eat a healthy diet because of your job. Thanks for being a trucker. I usually have real salt, garlic powder and sometimes EVOO in my pocketbook when I go to restaurants. I forgot, I also put some kind of tea bag that will help me with blood sugar or detox. Just saying anyone who eats out needs to bring some healthy food with them. Again, thanks for being a trucker. It's a harder job nowadays.
I have been watching DR sten Ekberg since CO Vid 19 started, For 3- 4 my husband and get healthyier and we both lose weight. I had lots weight 3 stone my husband lost 2 stone. I would say my husband and I watched almost every episode of DR sten VDO. I even told my boss, my colleague my husband’s family if they are wanted to lose weight or get healthier watch DR Sten VDO.I m sorry for my English. I am a foreigner. Thank you DR sten for all your VDO. Even though we are getting healthy and lost weight we still watch your VDO.
I cant believe i smoked for 13 years. I got emotional just thinking about it the other day. This channel among others has saved my life. I would wake up gasping for air, dizzy spells, headaches, numb and tingling legs and arms, literally coughing up blood in my phlegm. I started keto, stopped smoking and slowly started exercising. Its a year later now and ive lost 40 pounds (220-180) and it feels amazing to breathe. But most importantly, i can actually play with my 3 year old daughter. Thank you, Dr!
Same journey here. Reversed t2d 2 yrs ago with keto and now carnivore. Met those goals and now 3 weeks ago stopped smoking. Age 65 ...so it's about time, right? Lol.
What do you think it made the difference for you to change? Learn more about it? Constant contact with this kind of content that reminded you from where the symptoms come? Because I think at least smoking is well know that causes diseases. I mean no disrespect, just trying to figure it out what make people click.
The information gave you real understanding of the cause - consequence issues? Or it gave you enough knowledge to overcome the "good stuff" in the bad habits?
I have changed lifestyle choices over the years as well, but I don't know if my reasons are the same of others.
Great news it's a horrible habit/addiction, but did you just admit you were smoking while pregnant 😮(unless adopted or when through surrogacy)
@@davet5223 What you have to do with it? It's no good, but not a crime, it's a health problem. Stop trying to shame people.
Congratulations to you!…I’ve been working out and eating healthy most of my life!…What I have found , it’s always a work in progress. Keep going and adjusting your foods to make it better….

I wish they had known this with my childhood best friend's mom who died of liver failure. Her doctors could not explain why her liver was failing. But after seeing this video I'm thinking back, Friend's mom was a habitual Tylenol user. She had such terrible migraines that she took Tylenol and Aleve and Excedrin to treat the pain. And it wasn't like she was taking too much. She always took the proper dosage, and never on top of one another. But she still ended up dying at the age of 58 of acute liver failure.
I wish more people knew this. I wish I had known this. It says on the bottle may cause liver failure but most people probably think excessive use or overdosing on it will cause liver failure. Most people probably think they are safe as long as they take the medicine properly. Tylenol should do a better job making this clear.
Acetaminophen should be banned from all stores for human consumption.
It's literally the #1 killer of livers in the US.
if your head feels weird for any reason, drink 3 cups of water.
any drug that numbs pain is really a nerve poison. if used too long creates more pain.
cabbage cures the liver.
I'll never understand how people just feel comfortable downing pills regularly as some kind of magic fix. Clearly something is wrong.
My daughter almost died from Tylenol. She had back pain & took it for 2 years-went into septic shock.
ongoing nutrient deficient for years, was taking tons of tylenol to deal with migraines, which ultimately turned out to be due to malnutrition, specifically a lack of sodium/magnesium. Ever since supplementing began some 6 months ago, migraines and headaches are down some 80% and tylenol intake is down some 90%. I will be doing everything in my power to avoid it outright after viewing this video. Thank you.
My friend’s coworker died from Tylenol poisoning. Healthy man in his 30s, drank heavily one night at a work conference and took Tylenol. He was found dead in his hotel room. The medical examiner’s report revealed what happened.
Wow! How many did he take?
That sounds more like alcohol poisoning because one doesn’t die immediately from Tylenol poisoning?
How can this be reversed from stage 2?
Coming from the UK, I had never heard of acetaminophen - here it’s known as paracetamol. So glad I have seen this video. The liver truly is an amazing organ that can regenerate itself within a month - I’m considering no alcohol for January 😬
There are not differences between paracetamol and acetaminophen, both are generic names for the same chemical substance. In USA you can find this under the name Tylenol for instance.
Do not exaggerate - one week in January definitely will do the task - for 2024 😂
Thanks for pointing that out, I thought paracetamol was the safe ( less bad ) one
@@Lolipop59 I am glad someone pointed that out so clearly.
Oh, yes...the classic Dry January!😂
My sister died this year of autoimmune hepatitis. She had had a liver transplant, but she passed away before she could get another one. She lived 25 years with the donor liver until her body started attacking it. Let me tell you, liver failure is a terrible way to die. I would not wish it on anybody.
My condolences for your loss.
Did she stop taking her autoimmune meds?
@@pete9688 no but her body attacked the new liver. The antirejection medication's actually trashed her kidneys. So she was basically in need of a new liver and new kidneys.
God bless her.
My condolences.
The other risk is oxidized oils. This has been researched in aquaculture. My partner studied the use of oxidised oils in feedstock for aquaculture at 1% and 5% concentrations. The livers of both were enlarged but the 5% group livers were 3 to 4 times larger and yellowish rather than reddish brown.
Fermented fish oil eg river cobbler which is used in Thai green curry recipes is also a source of liver flakes killed around 28,000 a year in Thailand due to cancer of the liver. This has been replaced with anchovies in many supermarket ready meals. Last time I researched this it still affected around 3,000 per year in the states and UK.
Avoid fermented fish and oxidized oils in particular get to know the smell of the oils you use.
YES!!! A thousand thumbs up!
Thank you so much for this information. Much appreciated!
True...also high levels of N-nitrosamines have been found in air, water, foods, cosmetics, tobacco, and packing materials in Thailand that are thought to contribute to high hepatocellular cancer rates there along with liver fluke which is found in raw/undercooked and fermented river fish.
Your comment and the luva comment right above me just taught me some new stuff

Sir in my case in endoscopy i have echostructure in liver means i donet know what it is then doctor gave me evitol vitmine a capsules hepapro powder pls is it harm pls answer me sir
I got home from the hospital the same day as my gall bladder removal. I was sent home with hydrocodone for pain. I did not want to take so much hydrocodone because it causes constipation. So that evening and the next day, I rotated 3 meds, took every 2 hours: acetaminophen, fiorinal with codeine and the hydrocodone. The last 2 meds were not labeled that they had acetaminophen in them. The next evening after the surgery I felt so sick I went to the ER. I had almost overdosed on acetaminophen. That was in 2005. Since then Ive noticed the medical community, pharmacist & drug labels making a better effort to tell patients when acetaminophen is in the prescription drug.
I'm sorry you had that experience, but also that you had your gallbladder removed. I wish people were aware of other options besides gallbladder removal. My mother had hers removed in the late 1990s, it's just *not* a great thing.
I’m going to a funeral for a former classmate who died of liver cirrhosis. Complicated from Covid and ❤ the alcohol. 52 years old.
Personally , I love the sugary stuff. It has been a tough few weeks, trying to abstain from alcohol and sugars.
I have had two seizures from stopping cold turkey . I wanted to make cookies for the holidays and eggnog, but now that is off the table. It has been three weeks, and I have slimmed down by ten pounds not eating sugars, wheats, and beverages.
I just wished I could have came to this conclusion without suffering a friend dying.
You can add keto deserts. Just be very careful. Don't over do
Did your classmate have complications due to covid or covid vaccine?My friend got moderna one type covid jab and immediately started suffering liver failure.
Bravo! 👏🏼 Keep up the good work!Egg nog is like liquid ice cream. I love it, but it is too tempting for me. I stay away from it!❤
@tanyakilbane7636 - Try the Carnivore diet for 30 days in the New Year to break your sugar addiction. It's simple, you just eat meat/animal foods: beef, pork, seafood, lamb, butter & hard cheese. It's will cure you of your carb addiction & it provides tons of health benefits. You can reverse many diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, gout) by eliminating the plant foods that cause them, esp. carbs which all turn to sugar once you eat them. Look up Dr. Ken Berry, he's got tons of YT videos on how to follow the carnivore diet. If you start now, you won't miss the Xmas cookies. 😎 No carbs taste as good as being healthy feels.
There is a keto eggnog you can make at home. Tastes pretty good!
Vascular specialist here, I agree, I take about 900-1000 mg of acetaminophen per day due to body building injuries, Lumbar; been doing this for about 5 years, daily.. BUT, I also take an advanced Milk Thistle product and about 3 grams of NAC per day, also monitor AST and ALT closely. Levels are baseline normal. Your videos are very well thought out and put together, thank you.
My issue with this is with the first line under Lifestyle, Alcohol Abuse, it should read Alcohol Use, the unfortunate truth is using alcohol is detrimental to your health. I was a drinker (sometimes binge) for 55 years and quit during COVID, I lost weight quickly and feel so much better, I still go out with people who drink alcohol but I abstain and still have a blast, I finally figured out I don't need to be drunk to have fun. Most drinkers would say I don't abuse alcohol when they are drinking 6, 8, 10 drinks a day, (my parents), they think you need to be blackout drunk to be abusing alcohol, not the case. Love your work Dr. Sten
Alles richtig!!!!Herzlichen Glückwunsch!!!Weiterhin viel Glück!!!🍀🍀🍀🍀
Harry from cologne, germ"money" your comment comes from deep inside of you, i am in the moment 75 years old and young and i can see (and fix it) on the right place. keep on going. with love harry
So true.
Acetaminophen is Paracetamol for my fellow europeans and others
Thank you @Whitetigerxd for pointing that out. 😄
Much appreciated
I take 6 paracetamol pills daily.
It took me 10 seconds in internet to find that out. Please tell everyone, that they can do research in internet by themselves.
You're correct but having easy access to info seems to have occurred concurrently with a disturbing rise in mental dullness on the part of the average person
Dr. Ekberg's "clickbait" is the kind that serves to rescue people, which makes it a most legitimate tool for our own overall good and survival. Thank you Doctor!!!!! I never feel a vacuum on my wallet while viewing your videos; but instead sense a dynamic energy from you for our best health.👍 ❤
Agreed but still, it's frustrating. I'd love it someone followed him and edited all of his presentations down to just one or two sentences.
Thumbs up.
Sometimes I get a bit impatient with Dr Sten Ekberg because I am totally carnivore and he is more moderate in his advice than I what I really think. Not anything particularly wrong with his points, and I give Dr Ekberg a lot of respect for both his factual knowledge, which I cannot fault, and his occasional rhetorical devices. This and his other videos have great production values: point form text of what he is saying so I can follow along, some diagrams and illustrations. This video presented "Body Burden" in such a clear way, I am going to share to my friends to see this video.
In this particular video I felt he was a bit soft on alcohol and fructose. I think alcohol consumption should be as close to zero as possible. Not sure if he meant the occasional beer or whatever is ok, but that was my impression. Of course, the goal of this video was about medication, not fructose, not alcohol. He did mention them as "body burden" so anybody curious about alcohol and fructose effects on health can explore those.
I did not realize that. Mucinex robitussin and Alka-Seltzer also contained acetaminophen!
I'm glad I found that out
NAC is given for acetaminophen overdose and is good for many things. It helps your lungs produce glutathione. Of course it was pulled from Amazon during covid because we couldn't have any option except the injection.
I'm strong, at 58. Zero vax
NAC is available now on amazon. Not doubting it was pulled before, but it's there now for anyone who needs it.
From what I understand the UN via WHO, see Codex Alimentarius, has considered reclassifying vitamins and supplements as medicine to be made available by prescription only, and something similar is possible with lab grown foods available with varying levels of nutrition for which you qualify depending on, e.g. social credit score, carbon footprint. Have a look at how many indoor greenhouses there are now and the controls they have in place.@@Eet_Mia
N.A.C. was available throughout the pandemic, maybe not on Amazon, but elsewhere online and in health-food stores.
This video is extremely helpful and I'm actually unemployed by choice, as I've decided to stay at home and fix these very issues. I not only need to do intermittent fasting, but continuous fasting to regain balance. I've been purposely going outside and sticking my bare feet in the sand to ground myself out, to get rid of electrical imbalances.
Thank you @user-fv5ms4sz8e. Best of luck to you. 😄
Grounding is a real thing, despite naysayers. Good luck to you!
I know that grounding/earthing is legit, but I'm not sure if doing it with sand is effective. Since sand is silica/glass, which does not conduct currents. Unless it's wet, in which case the water would be conducting the current.

I drink every night, but don't get drunk and measure out how much I drink, and I'm 75. But it's away over the recommended amount. I think binge drinking is dangerous. I also smoked all my life and still am. But I never lived for drink or smoking, and I think that made the difference.

I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely. 👍👍👍

Thank you for such a broken down explanation of the liver. I've watched many on the liver and this one helps me so much to understand even more. I was diagnosed with NAFLD a little over 3 yrs ago and went NSNG and healed my liver and got rid of pre diabetes. I haven't taken acetaminophen in a little over 3 yrs and if I absolutely NEED pain medicine I only take 2 ibuprofen. I haven't ever been a drinker so I guess I have the going for me. It's hard to believe acetaminophen is the #1 cause but I totally believe everything you ever post in your videos. You've helped me so much so THANK YOU!!!
What is NSNG?

Oh, yah. Nice job staying focused on the topic.@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus

I absolutely try my best to avoid any medication at all cost.
Headaches are usually the result of dehydration, speaking for myself. So I drink a lot of water and take a short nap. Usually that does it for me.
I will take medication if it will save my life. But for aches and pain and smaller less serious stuff, hydrate... sleep and just suck it up.
This needs to be the highlighted comment.
For someone who has migraines, more salt/sodium is important. Just drinking water would make the issue worse for them specifically. The first few times I had a migraine they were atypical, I thought I was having a stroke (numbness, inability to speak/use correct words). Possibly in my case a B vitamin deficiency, which I started supplementing after the third hospital visit (which included MRIs and CT scans, never showed any brain bleeds). BUT, I have had typical migraines since (headache, nausea, vomiting), and they occur around beginning of my period. I didn't make an effort to increase salt/sodium, but I started having gallbladder pain. So I began taking a gallbladder supplement and it has helped the gallbladder pain, as well as my monthly migraine has seemed to turn into a regular headache/neck pain. No nausea/vomiting. Dr. Eric Berg (I use his gallbladder supplement) has said that most headaches are caused by the gallbladder. So my experience would seem to match up with that.
My statement about sodium for migraine sufferers comes from Angela Stanton's work.
I'm not saying these things to be argumentative, but to share more info which may help people. They can choose what they want to try.
About 18 months ago I began to not take ibuprofen to soothe my aches because I know it's horrible for me. Now I hardly ever take it.

In a sense, I wasted 20 years of my life due to poor nutrition. It all started with hives (a certain disease), and then I felt very unwell. The poor well-being led to digestive issues, discomfort, and for half a day, I felt like I hadn't fully awakened ('sand in the eyes'). If I didn't get a good night's sleep, the symptoms would intensify. About three months ago, I started eating impeccably - no junk, no sugar, only natural foods (eggs, meat, carrots, onions, tomatoes, sauerkraut, nuts, etc.). The symptoms disappeared immediately. I still drink alcohol about once a week, around 5 beers, but nothing harms me as much as 'junk food. I forgot that it also affected my mental well-being... some anxieties, paranoia, etc. If someone wonders how life can be wasted by such things, it's like living as if you had a 'burned finger'... you're technically alive, but you constantly feel discomfort and keep giving up on things you would normally do. For me, it manifested, for example, in not being able to attend morning lectures normally... I wouldn't be able to handle it because I felt so unwell.
Look at “CBD oil”.
Good for you .... keep it up " live long and prosper " .

Thank you @brad2109 😄
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is helpful for the liver when taking acetaminophen/paracetamol. it is given in the ER when overdose has occured
I’ve seen that. When they gave my little girl paracetamol in the drip the also gave cysteine. Now I understand. Very interesting…
You can get it in pill or powder form as a supplement. It’s a bit bitter so the pill form may be better. I take NAC daily. Cysteine by itself can be helpful however NAC the full compound N-acetyl cysteine is optimal.@@lee-anne2353

Any chance of a follow up vid on how to protect one's liver via supplements? Such as Milk Thistle and Alpha Lipoic Acid as well as high quality liver detox supplement packages.. With all of the toxins in and around us these days, I believe this would be a good idea.
Dandelion root (capsules, tincture - nonalcoholic is available, tea) also supports the liver.
Thank you so much Dr Ekberg for your expertise you really are a breath of fresh air. I love watching all of your videos because even when you talk about disease you make it sound so positive and that the body can heal itself. The body was after all built to heal itself. Could you please make a video that lists all the foods that should be consumed when trying to heal heart disease, liver disease, thyroid disease as well as insulin resistance? Also in the same video could you please list all the foods that must be avoided at all cost when trying to reverse these conditions. Thanks you 😊
This was an excellent presentation; especially the separation of what we have added from what is/was naturally there. The stacking concept to show total burden was well-presented also.

For people who have to take Acetaminophen frequently due to medical conditions (eg. frequent headaches), the best solution to protecting your liver (and kidneys) from Acetaminophen poisoning, is to take it together with Glutathione (eg. preferably Setria form or alternatively N-acetylcysteine precursor), which is what they would give you at the hospital for Acetaminophen poisoning anyway.
Thank you for that! I have chronic pain and need it to function.
thank you!
Try a pain patch or muscle rub like biofreeze, etc.
@@vcat8136 Try to find out where Your pain is coming from...have You tried healing? Maybe quant um heal ing with Tena & Karen can help You...or Atlantis scalar...
An even better option is Continual-G supplements. They contain the immediate precursor to glutathione, gamma glutamylcysteine (Glyteine), which unlike glutathione and NAC supplements can increase the pools of glutathione in all your cells, including those in your liver and kidney. This would be very helpful if you are obliged to take a lot of acetaminophen/paracetamol
Thank you, Doctor for reminding us all that so much has happened in the last half century that we need to be paying close attention to in order to live well.
💧 is essential!
Our retiring head nurse explained this to me many years ago.
Most people drink the water to swallow the pain killer, thinking 🤔 that it is the pill that makes the pain vanish. In reality, she said, you often just lack fluid in the system - and your body is trying to make you see that.
So she adviced one big glass of water and 20 min rest. Then AFTER that, see if you are feeling better. Take another big glass and get going and you will see that in 8 of 10 times, your headache is actually gone.
❤ For me, of course I’ve had headaches every now and then, like everyone else. But above has helped me avoid lots of unnecessary so called medication.
Fructose is used by animals wanting to exploit autumn fruits to build fat for hibernation. This mechanism is common to most mammals including humans, except that we do not hibernate and have now worked out how to get fructose containing sugar all year round. Every spoonful of sugar is half fructose which cannot be burning in the body but HAS to be converted to FAT in the liver before is can be used. If you have ever wondered why low fat treats still make you fat- then this why.
Thank you @chazwyman8951. Exactly. And our doses of fructose are 10-20 fold higher than we could get from fruit. And that was seasonal.😄
@@drekbergPlus the fiber would slow down the absorption some, so your liver had a little less throughput
Fructose is not an poison, but too much fructose is potentially dangerous, just as drinking too much water can be (water poisoning exists)
@@onearthonelegion The dose is the poison. You can drink just a little cyanide and just get light headed, and be 100% fine later. Sugar bombs and large drinks loaded with 100g of high fructose corn syrup.. that's getting pretty close to poison.
@@onearthonelegion the difference between the two is that water is a requirement for life, while fructose is *not*. At the smallest amount of fructose, it will still cause glycation/damage. Just because it doesn't un-alive you at that small amount doesn't make it harmless.

Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for providing this cautionary lesson. I see how important this information actually is!
I love the graph indicating the Liver Burden. Somehow I imagined that alcohol is a 200%, 300%, maybe 20,000% burden on the liver. Since I am a non-drinker, my irrational thoughts thinks that alcohol is completely destructive to the liver by thousands and thousands of percent. That is my bias thoughts - whether this an extreme view or not, it keeps me healthy. 😊

J'ai trouvé cette vidéo très intéressante et enrichissante. J'ignorais que le fructose était plus toxique pour le foie que l'alcool. Une de mes tantes avaient eu un cancer du foie, et elle consommait beaucoup de desserts et sucreries, mais rarement de l'alcool d'une teneur de 5 % d'alcool. J'ai déjà entendu que le citron était bon pour le foie et le nettoyait. Merci pour la vidéo !

I never (or rarely) take medication. So I never think about the liver burden from medication. I only think about Fructose and alcohol. Now my views against alcohol have been harden even more. When I see people drink, I think to myself that they drink enough alcohol to destroy hundreds if not thousands of livers. 😅 Maybe an extreme thought but that is my imagination playing these facts on my mind.
Very unbiased and down to earth factual video . Lots of common sense examples of how we have evolved through civilisation and our life styles. So many people want to and are indeed , going back to natural based foods and natural lifestyles. The modern times we live in are not totally good for us in a number of key ways . ( pointed out in this video )
Always love Dr. Ekberg’s videos. When i was young. I have abused my liver not knowing about all stressors..

This killed a college friend's parent. Her father was drinking 3 glasses of wine a day with meals and Acetaminophen 6 tablets a day. Got Hep C (which wasn't known then in 1982) and he died her sophomore year.
He was 42.
He should've mentioned STRESS. So huge part of us are suffering from chronic stress nowadays. In my opinion it's one of the biggest killers that keeps us sick and destroys our gut. Mental side is as important as those other factors.

The nine day diet tells you, if your liver is healthy. Diet with no coffee, alkohol, sugar and junk food. You should drink in the morning and during the day, water with lemon and eat healthy food with no special limitation. After nine days that should make you vital and full of energy. After this diet of the 9 days to check if your liver is healthy, try to drink coffee or return to any of your bad habits. You will know instantly what disturbs you and your liver. If you start feeling not well, and you will feel like to be closed to throw up it means your liver has allergy to whatever you just have consumed. My test showed allergy to coffee and nothing else. Thank you for your advise in your film about healthy liver.
I had low liver function due to eating too much fried foods and was borderline fatty liver. After I had my 1st gout attack I changed my diet to a gout diet and liver went back to normal too!
I tested positive for Covid on Monday (first time), and I endured the symptoms for many hours while contemplating whether I should take a Tylenol for the reasons you delineated in your video Dr. Ekberg. I took one (1) that day but decided to rely on fresh ginger and garlic 😀.
The test is bogus, don't you know that yet?

As a 61 year old with a lifetime of headaches, aspirin , acetaminophen, etc never have alleviated any of them for me.Enemas , with or without coffee have never failed to get rid of headaches . Thanks for educating us to this important fact about liver health!
I am sorry for your loss
Read about salt. I starting eating salt 3 x a day and headaches disappear immediately. Took me 38 years to figure it out. I tell others and family. They take it and headache lasts 1 min to 10 min max. Depending on the more salt we eat faster it goes away. Magnesium helps me too and ginger.
@@MrRobkina It can help if dehydration is the cause of the headache since we need sodium to move water in our bodies.
Though most people tend to consume far too much salt rather than the opposite.
Heavy drinker here for years, though have had sober spurts. I do worry about damaging health, but it has always blown my mind you could literally damage your liver in a single dosage or a weeks' dosage from say Tylenol than from 20 years of heavy boozing. Maybe not boozing 24 hours a day, but 6 to 10 beers.
As soon as I saw the title I knew who #1 was, I witness how Tylenol killed a relative who suffer from migraines.
I think you mean the most effective method. The biggest problem I have is NSAIDS for pain relief, every other option is no longer available.
What's causing your pain? Can you address it?
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. My husband has been almost addicted to Tylenol and I've been asking his to limit his intake. I think he doesn't even think about taking Tylenol, It has become such a habit that he simply grabs the bottle and takes out two and pops them into his mouth. I think he's taking 4 - 6 tablets per day, every day. This information may be the wake-up call he needs to stop relying on this dangerous OTC "drug!"
There are healthy supplements that actually make you feel good. I would think that if he is already used to taking pills, then why not substitute. Asking him to quit cold turkey might have consciousness. I'd ask him to cut the doses back every day.
Might as well take a good drug if your going to ruin you liver-acetaminophen is a silly thing to take on a chronic basis.
look into NAC as a liver protector before these OTC drugs are taken. Also, try to substitute with Ginger, turmeric or other herbs depending on the type of pain he is trying to mask. Moreover, if it's a headache, use SALT.
@@papyrophliac how do you use salt for headaches? By salt you mean table salt or something else?
No more than 3 Daily. If he is a heavy drinker he should not Take tylenol at all.
Nice video. I have a few friends who still smoke, even though they know it's not good for you. I wonder if they've ever seen videos like this, you would think it would make them re-think, no matter how much they enjoy smoking.
I’m so glad I saw this. I have fatty liver. I’m in my 70’s and suffered from migraines up until my 50’s, and took a lot of Tylenol and Tylenol with Codeine through the years. I now suffer from back pain and take Tylenol. My pharmacist told me it won’t hurt me to take 4-6 per day.
Very important information. Well done. So glad I watched.
Great information, Dr. Can you speak about vitamins trying to be healthy, but they still go through the liver?
