I’m seeing a disturbing trend in my practice. More and more people are coming in with a deadly liver condition. 

In medical school I was taught that liver disease was limited to hardcore drinkers. 

But the people I’m seeing aren’t heavy drinkers. Some don’t drink at all. 

Fatty liver disease is one of the fastest-growing health epidemics in the world. And the number of people with this condition has skyrocketed in the last 30 years.  

A new study published in the journal Public Health reveals some shocking numbers. While analyzing the trend in cases of fatty liver disease, the researchers reported that globally... 

Cases have increased nearly 95% in just the last 30 years.1 

In the United States, 38% of Americans are affected — that’s more than 100 million people. And many of them don’t know it. 

In fact, fatty liver disease is often referred to as the “silent epidemic” because many people are unaware that they have the condition until it progresses to a more serious stage, such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. 

One of the main drivers is being overweight or obese. And as more people fall into those groups, more people are suffering with fatty liver. 

And they aren’t getting the care they need from Big Medicine. Because there’s no Big Pharma pill to treat or cure fatty liver. 

So doctors are turning to another dangerous trend. I’m talking about weight loss surgery. This “quick fix” gets you out of the office fast. And it adds big bucks to the practice profits. 

But it puts you at grave risk for immediate and long-term complications...absolutely unnecessary complications from an unnecessary surgery. 

Because there are proven treatments for fatty liver that improve your total health at the same time they fix your fatty liver. And without causing harm. 

Luckily, there are proven ways to prevent, treat, and reverse fatty liver — without Big Medicine’s dangerous surgery. 

Dangerous Surgery Is The Wrong Answer  

All surgery comes with risks. That includes weight loss surgery, even though doctors make it sound like getting the procedure is perfectly safe. 

But surgery should always be your option of last resort. And this is this is especially true when it comes to operating on the gastrointestinal system. 

Mainstream medicine’s answer to deadly fatty liver disease is a dangerous weight-loss surgery.

Instead of being a quick fix, this procedure carries long-term risks and complications for patients, including hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)... ulcers... bowel obstruction... hernias... gallstones... and severe nutritional deficiencies that lead to a whole host of other health problems.2

And this potentially dangerous surgery may do absolutely nothing to reverse fatty liver disease — and can even worsen liver health. 

One study found that 21% of patients experienced major adverse liver outcomes after bariatric surgery.3  

Another study showed that 10% had liver failure after their weight loss surgery.4 

You don’t have to put yourself at risk to reverse fatty liver disease. You just have to use the right tools. And that starts with knowing the real reason so many people get this disease in the first place. 

The Real Culprits Behind Fatty Liver Disease 

The case numbers for fatty liver have spiked for a reason. I’m talking about corporate greed. Between Big Pharma’s dangerous drugs and Big Food’s purposely addictive and damaging fake food products, the drive to boost corporate profits at your expense has led to an extreme rise in fatty liver disease. 

It’s not surprising that drugs can cause liver damage. After all, your liver has to process them. 

And some drugs do more liver damage than others. The worst culprits include:5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 

  • Corticosteroids 

  • Antidepressants 

  • Antiarrhythmics (drugs that treat irregular heartbeats) 

  • Anti-inflammatories like NSAIDs 

  • Antibiotics 

  • Chemotherapy drugs 

  • Diabetes drugs including insulin 

Then there’s the Big Food problem. Processed foods — junk foods — are directly linked to fatty liver disease.13,14 

These unnatural “foods” contain huge amounts of sugar and unhealthy saturated fats like hydrogenated vegetable oils. They’re purposely designed to keep you eating more than you want, and to keep coming back for even more. And the research shows they are a main cause of fatty liver disease. 

Why Liver Health Matters So Much 

Your liver takes care of more than 500 critical functions — all necessary for your survival.15  

It’s so important that it’s the only organ that can regenerate on its own. 

The liver works differently than other organs. It’s made up of a bunch of liver “blocks” called lobules. They’re connected by tube-like canals that carry substances like bile and blood between those blocks. 

Blood flows directly from your digestive system to your liver through the portal vein, which connects your gut and liver. That blood carries everything from nutrients to drugs to toxins to the liver — anything you’ve digested. Then, your liver processes all of those substances and decides where they’ll go next. 

It acts as your main detox organ, filtering out everything you don’t need. 

Nutrients and other helpful compounds get sent back in the blood to circulate to other organs. Toxins and other harmful or unnecessary substances are cleaned out, contained, detoxified, and then sent through for elimination. 

Fatty liver interferes with liver function. As it gets worse, clogged by excess fat, scarring, and inflammation, it can’t do its job anymore. And when your liver stops working properly, your overall health can decline very quickly. 

What Exactly Is Fatty Liver? 

Fatty liver is just what it sounds like: a buildup of fat in the liver.  

While it can be caused by excessive alcohol consumption, here we’re mainly talking about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD.  

It’s closely tied to metabolic issues like diabetes and obesity. And it’s caused and made worse by processed foods and many medications.

You might have fatty liver disease and not know it. Fatty liver usually doesn’t cause any noticeable symptoms, though it can cause major damage to your health. 

When NAFLD becomes more severe, it transforms into NASH, nonalcoholic 

steatohepatitis. That means the fatty buildup is extreme, accompanied by inflammation. This can lead to liver scarring, called cirrhosis, and swelling, eventually turning into liver cancer. 

Fatty liver can be reversed, and the progression to NASH slowed down. Even NASH can be managed effectively. That’s why it’s important 

to start doing whatever you can to protect and preserve your liver as soon as you can. 

Could You Have Fatty Liver Disease? 

Fatty liver may not cause any symptoms. And when it does, it’s easy to confuse them for something else. Some people may experience:
