What is the Best Medication for Fatty Liver?

Introduction

The liver is a vital organ of the body that performs critically important functions such as metabolizing fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, producing bile, storing nutrients, and filtering blood. Fatty liver disease is a condition that leads to excessive storage of fat in the liver, which causes inflammation and liver damage. This condition can be categorized into two types: Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).

Understanding Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) is primarily caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Excessive alcohol intake impairs the liver’s ability to detoxify, leading to fat buildup. Fortunately, AFLD is often reversible with lifestyle changes, such as reducing alcohol intake. With proper care, recovery is possible within two to three months.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is more complex. NAFLD is often associated with factors such as prolonged medication use, including hepatotoxic drugs, IV fluids, and anti-viral, and antibiotic medicines. Excessive use of these medicines can have long-term effects on liver health. NAFLD can be more difficult to treat than AFLD due to its deeper impact on liver function.

Fatty liver disease affects between 9% and 32% of the population, with NAFLD being the most common form. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) reports that approximately 38% of the Indian population suffers from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

HealZen offers treatment options for both AFLD and NAFLD. Although the medication and protocols are similar for both types, the recovery timeline differs, with NAFLD taking more time due to its deeper impact on liver health.

Healzen’s CBAD Formula: A Structured Approach to Fatty Liver Medical Nutritional Therapy

HealZen’s treatment is based on the CBAD formula, a structured approach to fatty liver medical nutritional therapy that focuses on:

  • Cleansing: Detoxifying the liver by eliminating free radicals and other harmful substances.
  • Balancing: Enhancing gut health by using specific medications to support liver function.
  • Activating and Defending: Strengthening the liver’s natural defence mechanism and its capacity to regenerate.

A critical aspect of our treatment is recommending a fatty liver diet that supports recovery. This diet includes:

  • Gluten-free foods
  • Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids
  • Antioxidant-rich foods
  • Adequate protein intake
  • Low sugar and carbohydrate consumption

This dietary approach slows the progression of fatty liver diseases as well as aids in their management.One of the key differentiators of Healzen’s approach to treating fatty liver is that it is natural and steroid-free. Unlike other fatty liver treatments that may use steroids, which can have negative effects on overall health, Healzen’s protocols focus on natural recovery. Diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and obesity are common side effects of steroid treatment.

Case Study

Healing Fatty Liver Naturally: A Success Story with Healzen’s Treatment

Initial Diagnosis: In June 2023, Sagar__, 41, was diagnosed with Stage 2 Fatty Liver Disease after a blood test revealed low platelet levels. Further tests confirmed primary Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH).

Medical History: Previously diagnosed with post-COVID diabetes.
Had a history of Brucellosis, requiring 10 antiviral injections.

Impact: The combination of diabetes, Brucellosis, and the medications led to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), accompanied by significant weight loss.

Discovering HealZen:
Sagar learned about HealZen Clinic, which offers specialized, plant-based treatments.

Treatment: Followed Healzen’s rigorous 3-month treatment plan focusing on liver support, diabetes management, and weight loss. The plan included a natural, steroid-free protocol.

Results:

Stabilised blood sugar levels.
Achieved a healthy weight loss of 4 kg.
Managed AIH without steroids.

Outcome: After 3 months, Sagar’s hepatologist reduced and eventually stopped his medication. One year later, he is free from fatty liver disease and continues to follow Healzen’s lifestyle modification plan.

Conclusion

By choosing Healzen, you choose a treatment that prioritises long-term health without the harmful side effects of steroids. Our protocol ensures that your liver heals effectively, making HealZen the best choice for fatty liver treatment.
