Alcohol is not the only reason for a damaged liver it can also be due to Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). These diseases are mostly being found in US children now-a-days. These diseases even in severe conditions are said to be cured by a special form of Vitamin E.
With the proven result of Vitamin E curing the disease researchers said, “After 96 weeks of treatment, 58 percent of the children on Vitamin E no longer had NASH, compared to 41 percent of the children on metformin (a diabetes drug), and 28 percent on placebo”. NAFLD is caused when excess of fat is deposited in liver and this can be cured initially by weight loss but NASH is the most extreme form of NAFLD which needs a proper treatment. Risk for these diseases is high in men/boy as comparison to women/girl.
Both these have common symptoms like complain of fatigue, malaise, and dull right-upper-quadrant abdominal discomfort. The disease can be diagnosed by liver ultrasound, a biopsy or several other tests available. Apart from Vitamin E regular exercises are also suggested to cure these diseases.
With this study by Stephen P. James, director of the digestive diseases at National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), who funded the study claims, “‘These results suggest that Vitamin E improves or resolves NASH in at least half of children, which we previously showed to be true in adults”.
