A/Prof. Ken Sikaris - 'Fatty Liver & Chemical Pathology'

Brilliant! It was my fawtty liver during my heavy drinking and SAD eating days that got me off the booze and eating better. 17 years dry and 35lbs down.

This should be required viewing for every GP, nurse, specialist and patient, man, woman and child! Does that cover everyone?

Low Carb Down Under utterly rocks my world. Very intelligent and credentialed speakers. Thanks so much.

I'm glad you mentioned that the LCHF diet is a particularly good way to treat fatty liver disease.

Hi Ken, so sorry about your accident. That must have been an awful time. Glad you are back again giving your talks. Thankyou for recovering!!!

Great presentation, thank you. 3 years ago my BMI was 32 and I had NAFLD. We changed our family diet 2 years ago, I lost about 30kg and my BMI is 24. ALT and AST are less than 15, TGI is less than 1.0, no fatty liver more.

Frankly I gave up on Drs knowledge. And it saved my life. I went out after my Dr totally ignored me, discovered a thing called M2PK (pyruvate kinase), not part of Australian diagnostic criteria, got tested (only one Lab in Australia tests for it, if you request), it came back High, indicating a possible tumor. Got a SECOND colonoscopy 5 months after the first by a GI specialist.......and Bingo! there it was, in the right colon, 1cm of the type that rapidly go aggressive. I was supposed to wait 5 years. lol So now I have obtained from Schebo biotec Germany, the in-house M2PK test kit. So I can test myself every year.

After being diagnosed with liver inflammation and offered no solution by my Dr, I researched diet and went keto carnivore and cut down drinking and reduced my ALT level from 510 ( around 15 times normal range ) to 60 in a couple of months. My Dr was so surprised he printed off a graph showing the drastic drop in numbers.

From my own experience, it is 100% true that (1) a 10%-15% weight loss reverses fatty liver to normal (2) a very low carb / no added sugar diet is very effective .... works in ~ 1.5 months for my case (3) liver function markers like ALT GGT, high blood pressure, triglyceride also normalised with reversal. For those suffering from fatty liver disease, listen to the good professor’s advice and regain your health.

A Keto/carnivore diet has steadily improved my liver panel to normal and beyond, even with cirrhosis. You definitely want you liver function to be as good as possible.

Thanks Ken. Sorry to hear about your accident and it's great to see you back.

Great information- Im one of the TOFI - fit and excercised/ didnt have soft drinks nor sweets yet had "fat infiltration" in the liver!!! Currently doing low carb and yet to return to be tested.

thank you for uploading this gem.

ALT and AST also go up for as long as 12 days following intense exercise, because they are released by damaged muscle cells. Study published a few years ago, available online.

loved this lecture. great delivery and great info. keep up the wonderful work, sir.

Highly informative and understandable.

What a great lecture! Although not mentioned I am sure fasting also reverses fatty liver.

Thank you the free education

In 2014, when I turned 40, my ALT was 28, in 2018 it went to 43 and an MRI showed moderate fatty liver. Doctor never thought to mention anything with the spike in ALT. I immediately cut fructose/sucrose but still had simple starches. I supplemented with L-Carnitine to shuttle fat to cells and took enzymes to support my liver in the breakdown of fats and proteins with Amylase, Protease 3.0, 4.5, 6.0 and Bromelain. 2019, at 45 years old, ALT was down to 23, even with a body weight of 242 pounds (i do exercise).

I asked my GP what I should do about my high trigs. His reply “they go up and down anyway”. Medical schools do not give sufficient emphasis on the basic science as a source of advice about health and wellbeing. Unlike drug companies that invest in a sales team to pedal nasty stuff like statins. Society needs to here more clear and thoughtful presentations as this.
