The best Liver detox is Fasting.
The best kidney detox is Fasting.
The best whole body detox is Fasting.
This is the ancient physiology.
Nobody recommends fasting because there is no money in it.
You’re not useless; you’re just broke, unemployed, and unlucky. But believe in yourself—don’t give up. Don’t focus on your age; focus on the goal. One day, the sun will shine.
@TheoAbuAgada May the soul of late Dr. Makoji continue to rest in peace. We need to do an awareness about these great unsung heroes for the younger generation.
This generation of teenagers supporting Arsenal in secondary schools dont know our generation walked so they could run.
We went to school for 6 years with the pain of Arsenal losing these matches the previous night and had to survive the bant for the whole week.
COYG !!!! We deserve this.
You’re not lazy. You’re tired. You’ve been living in survivor mode for so long. Your mind is exhausted! You’re still processing trauma. Be kind to yourself please.
Functional depression is a real thing. You work, joke, make people happy, and take care of your family, yet mentally, you’re drowning in your own thoughts.
No one wants to hear it but you will have to *work* on everything that is worth having in life.
Your career, your relationships, your health - whatever it is...
So if you don't want to work for it, be prepared to be very disappointed in the quality of everything you get.
This was taught by a medicine faculty member and later was shown in the Good Doctor series.
So, it happened in Madras Medical College.
A man, 43 years of age and newly married, was a chronic drinker for the past 10 years and has now developed chronic liver failure.
The liver is an organ of detoxification of medications. So, if you provide a liver failure patient With medicine, it will worsen his disease even more.
So, the only resort left was… a LIVER TRANSPLANT.
In the country, there is a huge line of recipients and a few donors, so the line is longggggggggg.
One has to stay clean for at least 6 months. That means "alcohol no touchy touchy."
He was also advised to do the same.
Fair enough, right?
So he came back after 6 months…. His blood was checked for the level of alcohol.
POSITIVE.
The doctors got furious and scolded his wife to take him home.
"There are many patients in the country who genuinely want a liver, and I'm not going to waste a precious organ on someone who can't stay sober for even 6 months."
These were his exact words.
But the wife insisted that he didn't even touch alcohol for these 6 months.
He insisted too.
"Sir, I'm a Bhakt of Mahadev, and I will never lie in his name... Sir, I have not touched alcohol, trust me."
But you know how some doctors are. They rely on just evidence.
They refused.
She insisted.
They refused.
She insisted.
They refused again.
She insisted again.
Now, someone has to give up, right?
"His condition is not good; we will keep him in observation for some days."
So they admitted him.
The next day, his alcohol levels were checked again.
Still high.
Next day.
Still high.
Next day.
Higher.
Now, if you were ever admitted to a hospital, you would know that alcohol isn't allowed there.
Even the doctors were confused. What the hell is happening? How is he getting alcohol daily?
The housekeeping staff was called and asked; CCTV footage was seen, and security was interrogated. All in haste.
The senior doctor smelled something fishy.
He ran some tests; one of them was "fungal culture of gastric aspirate."
Voila.
Rarest of rare cases.
AUTO BREWERY SYNDROME.
All were amazed, and the doctors finally got their answer.
What is it?
Well, as the name suggests, it is a condition where the stomach ferments alcohol itself from starch-based products.
Generally, people suffering from auto-brewery syndrome have a history of antibiotic abuse (see, that's why it is said to never overuse antibiotics). One of his patients took antibiotics for 23 days straight; he suffered from life-threatening diarrhea later.
Anyways, the stomach contains a lot of fungus, mainly SACCHAROMYCES CREVESIAE, the fungus used to ferment beer and rum.
The stomach contains plenty of those.
And whenever you take a starch-based product, they convert it into alcohol.
Thus, although you do not take alcohol from outside (exogenously), your body produces it itself (indigenously).
Sadly, even after all the diagnosis, he still wasn't an eligible candidate for liver transplant.
He died 2 months later of multiple organ dysfunction.
