A recent article in Ouest-France about a little-known disease called Nash (Acronym for “Non alcoholic steato-hepatitisen”; in French: stéatose hépatique non-alcoolique) worried some of my patients, who asked me for my opinion.

Here’s an extract from the article:

This condition, known as “Nash”, has no symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage. It affects between 3 and 6 million people, including sports commentator Pierre Ménès.

What is the Nash?
It’s a liver disease, the most common form of hepatitis today. Basically, fat accumulates in the liver. This can lead to inflammation and organ damage, which in turn can lead to cirrhosis, without the consumption of alcohol. There’s also a risk of liver cancer.
Nash (1) particularly affects obese and/or diabetic people, who can develop cardiovascular disease. It emerged seven-eight years ago. It’s a sickness of our 21st-century societies, linked to our living conditions, modern lifestyles and junk food.

How are we affected?
“It’s caused by a poor lifestyle, eating too much fat and too many fast sugars. As a result, it’s also known as soda disease, but that’s too simplistic”, replies Professor Bertrand Cariou, diabetologist in Nantes. Fatty liver disease” is a more accurate name. Nash also sets in when people don’t get enough physical activity or move around enough.

It’s a disease well known to radiologists. During 20 years of practising radiology and abdominal ultrasound, I have been able to diagnose this benign disease on numerous occasions.
The liver, instead of being dark grey on ultrasound, appears whiter and brighter, due to the increased reflection of ultrasound on the accumulation of fat cells in the liver.
In medical French we say stéatose hépatique. In everyday language, we say: foie gras! This means an accumulation of fat cells in the liver. It’s like the foie gras of ducks and geese.
As a joke, I used to tell my peasant patients who fattened their ducks that they had the same disease as their ducks! To fatten up their ducks’ livers, farmers force-feed them corn, which contains carbohydrates that accumulate as fatty reserves in the liver.
Well, it’s the same for human beings: if their diet is too rich in fat and especially carbohydrates, these fats will accumulate in the body, in the liver, giving the liver a shiny appearance on ultrasound that leads to the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis.

This damage is reversible if you stop eating incorrectly.
But to do this, you need to carry out a nutritional reform with a great deal of pedagogy and insistence on the part of the doctor, to be able to convince his patient that if he corrects his nutritional errors, he will avoid aggravating the damage to his Liver.

Because the risk of steatosis and fat accumulation in the liver is that it can lead to cirrhosis, which is an irreversible fibrous damage to the liver, with the risk of liver cancer.
It’s a benign disease if properly treated, but a serious one if neglected.

No medication is needed to treat this disease.

Watch out, BigPharma is creating this “Nash disease” from scratch to scare you into taking lifelong medication. Because the market would be worth $22 billion a year! Attached is an extract from an article dated January 22, 2019.

“Fatty liver disease: biotechs on the cusp of a booming market
Catherine Ducruet

Two products, including one from France’s Genfit, are in the final stages before commercialization. American company Gilead has just suffered a setback.
Just as 2013 was the key year for hepatitis C treatments, 2019 will be “the year of NASH” (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) or fatty liver disease. That’s what emerged from presentations at the JP Morgan conference in San Francisco in early January. But not necessarily for all the companies aiming to conquer this potential $22 billion market by 2025.

These drugs increase bad cholesterol. The answer to this problem is not to treat it with drugs, but simply to change your eating habits.

The treatment for this disease is purely dietary and nutritional:
You need to eat better and eat less at the same time.

Eat better:
Eliminate soft drinks, white sugar, peanuts, most palm-oil-based industrial products and excess sweets. Reduce alcohol consumption, as the sugars in alcohol promote steatosis.

Eat less:

Ideally, if you’re overweight, you should use the method I recommend, which is the most effective, quickest and most economical way of losing weight, namely evening micro-fasting. With DRENADOCTA drainer .

Instead of dinner at 8-9 p.m., drink 50 ml of DRENADOCTA in 3/4 liter of water, slowly, without any other nutritional intake.

As there will be no intake of sugar and carbohydrates from 2pm the day before to 8am the day after, the body’s metabolism will activate the fasting process, taking the energy reserves needed to give the heart and brain the energy they need from the fat, particularly in the liver (this is ketogenesis, or the production of ketone bodies from fat).

It’s a radical and effective method for losing weight and curing steatosis and overweight that I teach my patients, and that I can teach and advise you on if you wish.
