Metabolic syndrome increases risk of both major types of primary liver

Hi,Johanna,
My doctor told me to take 2gm of fish oil (Omega-3)daily at least,I am taking 2gm twice daily to replace the problem that I cannot take the Zocor or Lipitor due to abnormal high (5-6times) liver enzymes after I took the statins.

It is also effective if you buy some fungus from chinatown supermarket called “wood ear” or “snow ear” or”white wood ear” and make a soup of out it.(just google snow ear/fungus) and you will find a lot of recipes and uses for it.

I did a self- study to test the effectiveness using the “snow ear soup “(3:1 ratio,that is 1 cup of “snow” or” white wood ear” to 3 cups of water ,medium heat boiled down to one cup )daily for almost a month. I got a 21% reduction in cholesterol level(that is compare the lipid profile before and after the soup experiment. well this is another hospital benefit-sorry) Yes it works but I don’t like to drink the same thing every day;it is also good for diabetes too,but I cannot confirm that claim since I am not a diabetic and did not do a self-study on the sugar.
God bless.

This supports the postion above.

Hi,Gavin,
Besides the obvious risk factors for ICC.I cannot agree more on this paper.
37%(a 2 fold )increase in HCC and 30%(1.56 fold) increase in ICC in their findings.

I myself is a chronic hepatitis B carrier since birth,and high cholesterol (50-100% higher than the norm)runs in my family;my triglycerides is about 50-100% higher than the norm. But I belongs to the few who cannot take the statins ;so I ignore the whole thing for about 10 years .this is why after the 2nd resection;I change my game plan;besides eating more fruits and veggie,I have started on Tricor for triglycerides,fish oil 4gm for cholesteol,Baraclude for Hep.B ;Protonix for acid reflux and may add Questran for binding the bile acid to decrease the absorption back to the biliary system.I also learn one thing from my sister-in-law “central obesity” is real risk factor too esp. if the family have diabetes history.
So this report is not just a report but rather an accurate assessment of the risk factor for the raising of CC population from my personal point of view.

I will not be surprised the CC figure will be higher in America in the next 10 years if people continue to eat and pay no attention to their weight even they know about the family diabetes history.I apologize to those people now first if the following message will upset you,I am sorry.My intention is medical awareness in general,not personal.
In my profession in the 1980s ,200lbs or 100kg patients are consider “healthy”(you should know what I mean about healthy) ,nowadays 200-250lbs (125kg)are very common and of course 300lbs(135kg) are not uncommon; and 400-600lbs (average 500lb or 230kg)are not rare. I saw a 700lb?”before I had the second resection;but if you consider most of them had underlining diseases,diabetes hypertension, respiratory problems etc. What can they expected as a patient if they don’t take care of them self first at home.
You just take a look at the increase of the WIDTH of the wheel chair the hospital used or ask nurses you know and you will understand the obesity problem in the States.
Good article.
God bless.
