UNVEIL THE SECRETS OF LIVER FUNCTION INDEX

Recently a medical doctor(age 37) from University Hospital of Taipei has been found to rely too much on GOT/GPT index to determine the function of the liver. He has examined a patient suffering from liver cancer with the growth size of 10 cm !
Why this happened? Most people think when the index of liver is functioning ok, this is indeed a wrong perception.
Experiments have show that most patients are intrigued by the liver function index. The same happens to many medical experts and specialists. Hence, I would like to discuss this topic so that it will serve as a guideline for your future reference.
In fact, we must really take necessary preventive measure to guard our livers. Early examination and early treatments are prerequisite requirements for liver health. Since few decades ago, researches in small scale liver cancers have determined that the good and bad conditions of the liver cannot solely rely on GOT/GPT indices. Unfortunately, development in liver research still stick to this dogma.
Today, liver diseases are already becoming once of the major killers of human life. With the current limitation of knowledge on liver, doctors realize that many patients died due to innocence on the liver disease knowledge.
Once there was a patient who have been suffering from stomach pain for a month and his weight has reduced by almost half the original weight. After ultrasonic scan, it was noticed that there was a growth in the liver which was cancer and almost 80% of his liver had been eaten up. The patient was astounded and yelled: “Why this is possible ? “ Then he went for examination last year and was found to be normal. So he wondered how come the liver can develop the cancer in just a year’s time?
Later it was discovered that actually he only did liver function examination and the results proved to be positive. Well, this from of examination is well known among public and was regarded as the most intricate and profound one. Most of us will treat positive indices shown in the GOT/GPT tabulation means our liver is all right. The result prove to be the other way: death toll due to liver cancer keep on increasing.
Usually GOT/GPT contain the most enzymes in the liver cells. If hepatitis occurs or that liver cell are damaged, then the damaged GOT/GPT will flow away and lead to higher GOT/GPT level in the blood stream.
Well, when the GOT/GPT index is not high, it does not mean that the patients do not suffer from hardening of liver or liver cancer. When hardening of liver or liver occur, the patients will easily suffer from liver cancer.
Apart from that, early liver cancer also will not shown high liver index. This is because the growth of liver cancer only confines to area around the liver cancer and damage of liver cells will occur when they are being suppressed. So the GOT/GPT will still look normal. Even if the lever is high, it will still not very high. Many of us do not have ample knowledge not this and that is where the tragedies occur.
There are few factors leading to liver problems:
1.Sleep late and wake up early.
2.No feces excretion in the morning.
3.Over eating
4.Do not take breakfastà Over exhaust and not aware.
5.Taking too many medicines.
6.Taking preservatives, additives, colorants.
7.Not taking appropriate oils (such as salad oil that is unstable oil ).
8.Seldom take fresh food is harmful to liver. The vegetables that are fried must be eaten by the same day and do not try to eat overnight food.
9.Wrong attitude and do not have passion on love and peace.
10. Tension and emotional.
If you do not want to spend money on taking care of liver, then you must heed on your daily life style and diets. Food therapy and time therapy will enable our body to properly absorb and detoxify at appropriate time.
# 9-11 PM: This is the time for lymphatic detoxification. During this time, you must quietly listen to the music. If a mother still worry and spend time on washing plate and teaching the children to study, then they will hurt her health.
# 11 PM-1 AM: Liver detoxification and you must sleep well.
# 1.00 AM-3.00 AM-Gall Bla-Dder detoxification.
# 3.00 AM-5.00 AM-Lung detoxification. The person who coughs will have extreme coughing during this time. This is because detoxification work runs to lung meridians. Do not try to take anti-coughing medicines in order to avoid suppression of accumulated wastes substances elimination.
# 5.00 AM-7.00 AM: Large intestine detoxification. This is the right time for feces excrement.
# 7.00 AM-9.00 AM: Small intestine absorbs a lot of nutrients and this is the hours that we must take breakfast. For illness recovery, take earlier at 6.30AM.For healthcare take at 7.30AM.
Apart from that, from midnight till 4.00 AM is the hours where our backbone undergo blood producing. So we must have sound sleep during this time.
As many people today have different time formats for rest and work, so they have also altered the time for sleep and wake up. When they have understood the above biorhythm, then they know how serious if our organs do not undergo detoxification at appropriate time. So treasure your liver from now on!
