Healing fatty liver disease holistically is likely to give the deepest and most thorough healing. It is never enough just to suppress the symptoms, so you think the problem has gone away. The cause and then the healing needs to be addressed.

Hepatic lipidosis is the name given to the feline or canine variety, whereas the name fatty liver, or steatosis, seems to serve the human variety well. The condition is where there are fatty deposits in the liver, and the function of the liver is compromised.

Before jumping into healing fatty liver disease, it’s important to understand where it comes from. Causes should always be examined before healing begins, because by simply removing the cause can be healing enough.

The name suggests one of the causes, particularly in the feline and canine cases. To deposit fat in the body, it has to come from somewhere. And sure enough, commercial cat and dog food is high in fat. They are also high in totally unsuitable foods for the species, which helps to compromise the immune system, making natural healing difficult.

Obese cats are particularly prone to this condition. Cats can only ever become obese when overfed commercial cat food, which is so damaging to their overall health. Dry cat food is the worst of a bad lot.

Simply by switching your cat or dog to a quality and balanced raw meat and bones diet can completely heal this condition, with no other treatment.

Fatty liver disease, FLD, in humans has the same cause, ie a diet high in fat, especially animal fat. However, it can also be caused by a high consumption of alcohol.

The ketogenic diet is likely to give you a fatty liver, as it's a high fat diet.

For both the human model and the non-human model, medical drugs are also high on the list of causes. Medical and veterinary drugs are unnatural. Anything unnatural has to be processed by the liver, causing it extra work on top of what it already has to do.

For everyone, another cause of fatty liver disease is the high toxic level found in non-organic food, which most people eat and most animals are fed.

When you add all this together, something has to give. And this occurs especially in anyone who is already struggling with poor health, .

The only medical solutions are more drugs, which was one of the causes. Go figure…

As if that’s not enough, when you don’t deal with the cause of this condition, it can lead to heart conditions.

The first thing to do is to address the diet. The diet is king. But it must be a species specific diet. In other words, it needs to be the diet the species evolved on. The perfect diet for us humans is a high carbohydrate diet. Just look at our teeth - they are grinding teeth for grinding up tough cellulose before swallowing.

In other words, we humans are herbivores.

The diet cats and dogs evolved on is raw meat and bones - again you only have to look at their teeth which are spiky to tear meat from the bone and then to crunch the raw bones. Cats are true carnivores and dogs are at the carnivore end of the omnivore scale.

In other words, turn the tables so your cat or dog eats the steak and you eat the high carbohydrates that is the basis of commercial pet food.

Just addressing the diet to good quality, balanced diets for the species can be the complete answer to healing fatty liver disease, whether in us or your cat or dog.

Important though the diet is, some will inevitably need extra help. Along with the diet, the most effective way of healing fatty liver disease is with good homeopathic treatment.
