You are most welcome

Great glad it was helpful

What diet u followed

Get a blood test for tumor marker. CA19-9 is a pancreatic cancer marker.

Glad you think so!

thanks

Nice good luck

Red meat is very health for you, start taking Milk Thistle and Tudka with D3 - K2 also B1

Check your thyroid markers: T3, T4, TSH, and Reverse T3.

Welcome 😊

Best of luck!

Any update?

Not very important I don’t think

See video on “what your liver enzymes should be” normal is not normal in many cases

Hard to say but accutane can do it. See video on exercise and liver enzymes

You might want to check my videos on milk thistle but milk thistle helps increase glutathione which can reduce inflammation and also has protective effects independent of this. Be sure to tell your doctor all the things you are taking.

creatine does not have much impact on liver enzymes to my knowledge. Liver scan is less sensitive than liver enzymes (in an acute setting).

Don’t forget that sometime exercise can affect these too see other videos on these.

Dhea is generally safe when close to reference range for age and gender.

@@swintegrative thanks for reply!

No it’s not see my videos on how to get off testosterone replacement therapy

good luck to you. maybe it is time to change that diet a bit.

Thank you for what you do. I support the people in blue.

I can't give you personal advice (I know you just want an answer but unfortunately there are unique tings going on with every person ) but we will cover this in the live stream this is link. Hope to see you there. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htuEddt23tyZhWw.html

Yes you can

Yeah if u want to know if the running is doing it that would definitely be the way to go. Good luck

I’m not familiar w that one, sorry

@@swintegrative Oh ok I saw the video on KZfaq if you get a chance to look into it. I was just wondering, if you had seen it what your thoughts were on it. It might be a great video topic for you. Thank you for your time and response.

It should if they are high from poor diet

You have to have it rechecked. There are lots of things that can affect that test and some are just transient.

@@swintegrative thank you so much for responding. I’ve been googling it and honestly it’s very scary. It’s saying could be cancer could be breast colon liver cancer, or a blocked bile duct in the liver. How could this be happening if all my blood work, red ,white blood cell count, leucocytes ,platelets everything has come back normal cholesterol & sugar. The only elevation is the alkaline phosphate. Would other markers be elevated if there was cancer in my body.? I would love to hear your opinion on this. Thank you.

Yes. I take vital plan daily multi plus which has these herbs included with the multi vitamin. Started taking them for Lyme disease.

Daily multi plus does not contain burdock but does have the other two.

Take all as they complement each other

This video discusses that but not high bilirubin. I may make a video on that one. BTW You might want to joint the live webinar coming up see community board

not that I know of but maybe at higher doses

@@swintegrative Thanks for the feedback

It should help it as it typically will lower triglycerides

Your answer here peaks my interest along this train of though: The GGT score if high can be from what I've read, just sluggish bile, or low bile volume, and I think fatty liver from cholesterol can play a big role, so my question would be this, Would a OMEGA 3 supplement that lowers cholesterol/triglyceride levels in the body, indirectly lower potentially a GGT liver enzyme score because, it means the liver won't work as hard to break down the saturated fat or cholesterol and require less bile?

Well thanks for sharing there are a lot of people out there just a confused. I can’t help in situations like this because we need a lot of context to really understand and then ongoing monitoring. I would suggest checking my playlist on liver enzymes though.

thank you i will ck out liver enzymes

starting milk thistle today 300mg

In my opinion here is what I recommend you do: Take your bloodwork again from two different sources in the same morning. Each company will use there own equipment for processing, for example Private location center's like Qwest and LabCorp both offer similar prices for a packaged metabolic liver panel and full cholesterol panel with your LDL/HDL/Triglycerides/Total Cholesterol: The prices for both should run you apx 53.00 to 65.00, so to do it twice you should budget about 120.00, Of course if your primary Doctor is willing to let you run your labs again, great but you have to decide if double-testing is worth it or not, in my opinion it is: Liver Enzymes are highly volatile at times, in fact if you were to take your liver enzymes and cholesterol testing, at two different processing centers say within 4 hours of each other and have only water to drink between both blood test , and minimize any walking, (ideally going straight from one appointment straight to your next appointment, so your blood is drawn within 1 hour of each other from two different locations) you could get your enzymes have as high as a 25 point swing between say YOUR ALT, and a 15 point swing in your Total Cholesterol, (all within a two hour window !!) I know this for a fact, because I was suspicious of the Quest offices in my area, (I won't go into why) I still use Qwest very frequently, but know this, the entire field of science which try's to look to liver enzymes and cholesterol as markers of a person's health, is not black and white in the least, Having said that when you do get your bloodwork, you need to be very mindful of what you eat and drink a good 24 hours, (not just 12 hours) to 48 hours, do not eat a heavy carb meal , or eat eggs or meat, or butter, (look for fish low in cholesterol, like Tuna packaged in water, or Chicken Breast ) Oatmeal, many fruits, don't have cholesterol in them, you get the idea, the reason why you want to stay away from heavy carb like meals the day before your blood test is because of the newer science which is making the connection between carbohydrates can cause inflammation, and insulin resistance is more closely tied to carbohydrates as a result, (if you must have coffee 24 hours prior, because your addicted to coffee like me ) and you have to have a sweetner look into using the healthier plant based milk and cream alternatives in the form of Macademia Milk (which I'de put at top choice) or OatMilk or a healthy sugar substitute called Monk-Fruit sweetner, which looks like sugar and taste almost the same, (better tasting than Stevia actually and healthier) P.S. Your a little young to have Triglycerides above 150, you really want to change your life and diet to see triglycerides consistently coming down below 125, but you can't know that unless your willing (like I try) to get that tested every 30 days to see what is working and not working, (yes it's expensive in the beginning but this is the only true scientific way of knowing what's going on inside, the standard advice of getting this done 1X a year or even 2X a year is meaningless and bad medical advise now, (our food and water supply is under constant threat and the organic food industry is largely a scam in so many ways, once you look into it a little more deeply) Here are some links for reference: P.S.S. I also take an NAC supplement and drink Dandelion Tea regularly, and have taken Burdock Root in the past, I've had less success with Milk Thistle myself, The NAC supplement I'm taking is specifically to see if it lowers my GGT, (my level was 60, but I've had it under 20 in the past, it moved up quite a bit since it's absolute low 1 year ago, that one in particularly I struggle with myself , more so than my ALT and AST) 1) through this webportal, you order your own bloodwork more cheaply than going to Qwest or LabCorp directly, which is very strange, but I've used this method myself several times hopefully you have both choices available to you in your area, (now everyone does) www.walkinlab.com/ 2) Healthy, Sugar substitute, it looks, cooks and taste almost like regular cane sugar www.amazon.com/Fruit-Sweetener-Allulose-Erythritol-Aftertaste/dp/B0BR4N7C2F/ref=sr_1_5_pp?crid=157G426SN19M0&keywords=monk+fruit&qid=1703223673&sprefix=monk+fruit%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-5 3) www.amazon.com/Milkadamia-Macadamia-Milk-Unsweetened-Vanilla/dp/B07N186D3Z/ref=sr_1_4_f3_0o_wf?crid=864QSS6X9HF2&keywords=milkadamia&qid=1703224084&sprefix=milkadamia%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-4&th=1 4) This was on a Black Friday sale, when I got, it, but overall I think this is still one of the strongest NAC supplements with dosage and quantity for our money, I just hope the quality is good , (they have in business for a long time, but supplement quality is often very hit and miss in what's effective and unfortunately the only way to know this is through expensive monthly bloodwork to track the cause and effect) www.amazon.com/1300mg-NAC-Supplement-N-Acetyl-Cysteine/dp/B0BJFSL1PH/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3QCMXJAKMAK48&keywords=Toniq+NAC&qid=1703224924&sprefix=toniq+nac%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-2 (empty stomach is how it's best absorbed) as I researched NAC more, I found that you can safely take 1800 MG as it's been studied with human trials at over 2000 MG ) I notice a mental focus boost when taking this as many report, just bear with me on any gramatical or punctuation errors, what matters most is the advice, (the best nutritionist and Dr's I've met in life often had english as a 2nd language, so remember to focus on what's being said, not necessarily how well it's being said, in face to face on in written form)

Your GGT is good, mine is 252..it meant to be 40-50..I'm 55 though 🙏

Mine was 734. Now down to 208. I’m still alive.

Your welcome. The numbers can change in just a few weeks if you remove the problem

Can you have raised liver enzymes from "good carbs" ? I tried to gain weight.. so I added all these daily to my diet...Quaker oats (at least 100 grams) , banana, apple, cranberries, and at least 100 grams of quinoa, I just realized it's around 150-200g of carbs overall.. my liver enzymes doubled after months of addng these :( I thought they are "healthy" foods??

Would diclofenac cause high liver enzymes

​@FatbikerChinoy I feel quite certain reason that your liver enzymes continued to increase was because of the amount of FRUCTOSE that you are putting into your liver by consuming the specific foods you mentioned. Though we may THINK those foods are 'healthy', they contain fructose, and fructose is metabolized in the liver. Historically, I was always real big on fruit, and have learned that we really need to cut back on them because of the high amounts of fructose. Try to focus on dark skin fruit, and especially berries, as they have a much lower glycemic load.... My main point is your score went up because you continued to increase fructose. Fructose is a contributer to liver fat. Lower the fructose intake, and you will get better...... Also, contrary to popular belief, oats are a processed food, and not good for your gut flora. You might want to look up Dr William Davis. He's an authority on this.

​@FatbikerChinoy Would love to know this too.

Amazon. Anywhere really. It's good stuff. Look it up.

what about it?

First thing is to find out if it’s transient or persistent elevated liver enzymes.

While these are generally very safe, with transplant medications that is not as straightforward.

Thanks for sharing that’s interesting. Celiacs can sometimes cause other problems in the digestive track like bacterial overgrowth. One would expect both of these to potentially cause higher liver numbers.

@swintegrative Never really showed any classic Celiacs symptoms either. Scheduled for an endoscopy next month. Hopefully, that will solve some of the mystery. Thank you for responding. 🙂

I don’t know what your question(s) is/are.. If liver enzymes are normal only after changing the diet then likely they were high bc of the diet. However it could have just been a fluke that they were high. That’s why it’s information to test test test before you make too many changes.

@@swintegrative Im sorry if my question was confusing but if a doctor says your liver enzymes were slightly elevated and was a 57 said there was some mild liver inflammation but they didnt seem concerned they just suggested a change in diet does that mean a 57 is neutral if anything?

@@Aqua20036 sounds like you are asking is 57 high you might want to look at videos on my Chanel about this topic for more details. it is high

@@swintegrative Youre right but a lot of doctors would say its slightly higher. Why is that? And how come LFTs only show numbers for elevations instead of resulting the cause of liver elevated enzymes? Is it common for many healthy people to get 57? I've been told that 57 means temporary liver inflammation that goes away on its own if you abstain alcohol for 2 weeks and monitor your enzymes is that true? I always have heard 3 different stories on this and I find your videos are helpful.

Holy smokes!!! Man, I’m sorry to hear that and really hope you’ve gotten better.

NOW 300mg milk thistle, about $20 a bottle. Saved my dad's life.

@@videogazer801thank you

@@ruthnoya8424thank you alot

Yes that's too high at your age, it should not be over 30, ideally, but liver enzymes are volatile often times, what you ate 24 to even 48 hours, or what kind of physical activity your doing up to 48 hours can play a role, (being outside in the cold weather shoveling snow for example is not good 12 hours prior) it can throw the results off,

I can’t give that kind of information

Thanks for the feedback I have a much better microphone now

Haha good luck

Very efficient detoxification of enzymes. What happens in some cases is the detoxification pathways increase as the alcohol increases but there is a limit to this of course. Also some people naturally have higher or lower capacity

Hope you are doing fine now.. anyway, It's really confusing.. I know someone who got her elevated enzyme issues (from multiple covid) fixed by low carb diet.. she's not doing keto though. Just limiting carbs and have a balance diet overall.. her numbers went down in a month..

@@FatbikerChinoy I got off the low-carb diet back in 2019 only now just barely recently have my enzymes finally gone down a little bit But I'm still monitoring them I'm eating more of a balanced diet now with higher protein less animal fat I have no doubt it was the beef tallow that really messed me up And butter didn't help either

@@daysoftheboo yeah, high chance , I also think keto is extreme, my friend just tried to eliminate rice and bread, and eat a balanced diet and more protein like fish and chicken, but not fried

Generally speaking high carb diets are a major cause of high liver enzymes so lowering generally helps. Doesn’t apply to everyone though so thanks for sharing

@@swintegrative I can definitely see an unhealthy high carb diet full of process carbs causing high liver enzymes but I always ate whole foods I never a candy no added sugar only natural sugar in fruit I went on a low-carb diet hoping it would help my digestive issues it did but then I develop other issues along with the high liver enzymes I guess for me my body doesn't tolerate too much animal fat

If you don't drink, take medication, and don't have a fatty liver and you ALT is that high you might have Hepatitis

Thanks but I don’t. Been checked for that recently.

@@kata5637 Some people have gotten higher alt and ast levels due to intense exercise. There are videos on youtube about it.

Great video!

If you take many supplements, that can also elevate the liver enzyms. That is what happened to me. After taking two months break, alt came to normal range. Sometimes nothing works except giving a break to the liver. Fasting shuold be a great tool.

Yes

I am a naturopathic medical doctor (nmd)

seems extremely high if it is typical US units.

@@swintegrativeyes from Canada, is it normal for a blocked bile duct? My mom is being tested for ampullary cancer , they tried to put in a stent but failed because it was too narrow to do the ercp. How long can one live with an ALT within this range generally speaking?
