Rate this book
This handbook examines the most common type of liver disease-fatty liver-and offers a comprehensive plan to reverse the condition and restore health. In addition to providing an extensive overview of the disease, its causes, and tools for diagnosing and determining the level of severity, the reference features a step-by-step path for healing. Among the information provided for those seeking to eradicate this disease, and reduce the incidence of blood clots, cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, and weight gain, is a description of basic dietary principles and natural therapies to heal damaged and fatty liver cells. An extensive personal essay-Confessions of a Fat Man by Thomas Fanelli MD-reveals a true-life example of one person's emotional battle with food addiction and fatty liver disease. In this chronicle, Fanelli documents how the book helped turn his health around and details his psychological and emotional strategy-the 10 Ps-to help control food addiction and other addictions that cause damage to the liver.

About the author

53 books43 followers
Dr Sandra Cabot has written many popular books on health and she is very well known under this name. Dr Cabot’s famous Liver Cleansing Diet book was awarded The Australian People’s Choice Award in 1997.You may find it interesting to know that Sandra chose the nom de plume of “Dr Cabot” in 1982, as in those days Australian medical doctors were encouraged to use a nom de plume (or writer’s name) if they were going to write books and participate in the health media. This was considered ethical behavior and was smiled upon by the medical registration boards, as it could then not be construed as to be advertising for extra patients.There are many well known medical doctors in Australia (such as Dr “Sally Feelgood” and Dr “James Wright”) who use a writer’s and/or media name for this purpose, and who continue to practise medicine under their professional names. This is considered to be more ethical and conservative, which is appropriate as the medical profession is a conservative profession.Dr Sandra Cabot’s professional name is Dr Sandra McRae and her ancestors came from Scotland and England. There is also a touch of French ancestry in Sandra, and that is why she chose a French nom de plume!Dr Sandra McRae is a registered medical doctor in NSW, Australia where she has medical practices in which she works with other medical doctors and naturopaths.

Dr Sandra McRae was born in Adelaide South Australia in 1952 and trained in medicine and surgery at Adelaide University in South Australia.

Sandra McRae graduated in medicine and surgery with honours in 1975 from Adelaide University South Australia.

In Australia a bachelor of medicine and surgery is designated by the letters MBBS, which appear after the name of the doctor. Sandra McRae is also a diplomate of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists and this is designated by the letters DRCOG. Thus the correct title of Dr Sandra McRae in Australia is MBBS, DRCOG.

Dr Sandra Cabot is published in many different countries and languages. In the USA Sandra uses the letters MD after her name, which is the American equivalent of the Australian MBBS, and simply means Medical Doctor and not Medical Doctorate.

During the mid-1980s Dr Cabot spent 6 months working as a volunteer doctor at the largest missionary hospital in India (the Leyman hospital). Here she studied tropical & infectious diseases and tended to the poor indigenous women with obstetric emergencies.

Dr Sandra Cabot travels extensively giving lectures and public seminars and visits isolated areas in Australia to share her message of natural health. Dr Cabot has lectured for the American Liver Foundation and the Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Society. Today she is asked by many different organizations and hospitals to lecture all over Australia and New Zealand. Some of the proceeds of Dr Cabot’s book sales are donated to support Women’s Refuges in Australia.

When I was diagnosed with NASH this was the first book I read. It's not very well written or edited, but had some good basic information for those who have a fatty liver. This book contains recipes and suggestions for supplements. However, the author is trying to sell her own "liver tonics". I'm always sceptical of people who are trying to sell you something. The second half of the book is one man's story of his journey healing his fatty liver and dealing with his food addictions.

Great combination of the practical knowledge and emotional struggle

My doctor told me in a very off hand manner I had fatty liver and didn’t say anything else about it, leaving me thinking fat body, fat liver, makes sense. Since then I have done my own research and am grateful to people like Dr Cabot and Dr. Eanelli for publishing information about this disease and how to reverse it.

Essential liver info

Valuable liver wisdom for the lay person. Solves a lot of health issues. I also read Ann Wigmore on wheatgrass and Dr Hilda Clark on parasites.

Includes a fair list of recipes that could assist with making dietary choices if you are challenged by any form of liver issue.

Much of the information given is mostly self-obvious. Eat less carbohydrate and sugar-rich processed food, and exercise. There is nothing revolutionary about this book, nothing mind blowing. And I found her advocacy of food supplements and protein powders to be counter to her argument of a natural unprocessed diet. I am with Sheldon on this one; all you're buying is expensive pee.

The recipes will work. They are basic vegetable heavy, low-carb recipes. The diet will work, if you stick to it. It's the old "Eat better, exercise more". We know this stuff works. Why we need to re-label it again and again is beyond me.

Fatty liver disease along with its consequences is examined in detail with a close look at its cause. Some methods and diets to reduce the disease are discussed. There is a extensive collection of recipes that are supposed to be aiding to reducing fatty liver.

Very informative

A very realistic approach to reversing fatty liver disease. The meal plan is not rigid and easily adapted to your lifestyle. I found the juicing recipes very interesting and look forward to trying.

This book was so interesting, easy to understand. I only gave it 4 stars because Thomas Eanelli`s personal story was a bit boring.

Fatty Liver, if not reversed, is often a trigger for obesity, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. This book provides effective and proven solutions to heal fatty liver.A new book from Dr Sandra Cabot and Dr Thomas Eanelli explains how to reverse fatty liver and restore your health.Can you imagine a world in which fatty liver will be as huge a public health concern as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes?Fatty liver disease is the most common type of liver disease seen in the world today.Dr. Cabot tells us that reversing fatty liver disease is not only an effective method of losing weight, but can also greatly reduce the most common diseases of today - namely diabetes, heart disease and cancer.Dr. Thomas Eanelli describes his battle with his own liver disease and food addiction in the section of the book, Confessions of a Fat Man.  His fight for survival takes him on a journey - both physical and mental - to find his inner power and physical health.Well known American doctor, Thomas Eanelli, meets an Aussie doctor, Dr. Cabot, through her little green book The Liver Cleansing Diet.  After searching through university medical libraries and visiting numerous liver specialists and surgeons and finding no real answers, Dr. Eanelli discovered that the liver could be healed without drugs or surgery - luckily the information in this little green book was the catalyst that would inspire him to go on and heal himself thus avoiding potentially dangerous surgery.Dr. Sandra Cabot has devoted her career to helping people heal themselves from this potentially fatal yet still under reported disease.Dr. Thomas Eanelli's courage has enabled him to "come out of the refrigerator" to share his tale so others may be saved.What sets this book apart from others is that rather than bravado and bragging by a set of new age gurus, Cabot and Eanelli instead forge an instant connection with their readers by their honesty and empathy when confronting the imperfections of dieting, especially where food addictions are concerned.This book may become one of the most timely and important health narratives in years.Dr Cabot tells us that the development of fatty liver is often silent and insidious but is the reason why many people feel unwell and/or continue to gain weight.Could this be happening to you?
