Hi, Dr. Martin Rutherford here again talking about today, the liver, so for those of you who are just turning in because you looked online and saw than worse, researching liver. For some reason, this is a series that's, being done relative to the title of its back to basics.
As far as functional medicine back to basics and back the basics means this is kind of a classic functional medicine overall protocols that that I think one should expect to experience if they go into a functional medicine practitioners office.
Unless the practitioner lets. You know that you know I'm, not doing that type of functional medicine, so to speak and and so so back to basics, liver and for those of you again who are just tuning in, I walked through this it from the eyes of a Daily practitioner and what they actually see in practice so, for example, on liver, I'm, not going to be going through cirrhosis and all the herpes viruses and all that we might touch on the virus a little bit because that's.
Not what we see we don ' T generally see people coming in here. You know a ten phase, you know liver cirrhosis in an alcoholic, you know cirrhosis or hepatitis or I just I rarely see those things that person is already gone and to the medical field and and and gotten all the tests and and and then they come here Or they or they get fixed that way, so so the livers kind of interesting in our world, the liver, does well, okay, just a little brief.
We had livers pretty wild the liver. When I was in school, they said it did 250 things ten years ago. They said 350 things and now it's delivered us 500 things. It truly is an amazing organ. It is massively regenerative.
So for all of you, we ' Ll talk a little bit about fatty, liver for all those of you out there. They have fatty liver, which I see a lot. If you, if you do the right things, you have to worry about it, I mean it's got to be really really gone for you to not get rid of that fatty liver.
So the liver is, is just it's, four different lobes. They all do different things. It's, a detoxification center. Everything that you dump into your body that doesn't belong there, that liver tries to neutralize or get rid of there's.
Several there there's like seven different pathways in the liver that detoxify there sulfone ization glue. Colorization big one to me is the glutathione pathway, because I see a lot of autoimmune patients kind of hard to get autoimmunity.
If you have enough glutathione, which is probably a separate topic for another day, it stores a lot of our nutrients particularly, is important in blood sugar management. It and, and so it makes vitamin K, it stores a lot of other fat soluble vitamins and has a has a it, has a process as fat, its cholesterol triglycerides.
It has to do with making proteins. Oh, my god, it's, just like that's 500 things, so you could go on up for a long time. Processing the vitamins and but the big thing by the time person gets here, is usually it's, not working right because of the lifestyle that the patient has had before they've gotten here, or maybe the patient's.
