Fat Soluble Vitamin Sequestration in the Liver and Release by Brown Fat Activation



This discussion about fat-soluble vitamins highlights a potential paradox of treatment that can only be remediated with proper dosing of a substance that’s very common in the lives of most people: alcohol. In chronically high doses, alcohol consumption is decidedly a poison. If you drink a lot of alcohol every day, the liver gets damaged, inflamed, and it develops fibrosis that’s diagnosed as either fatty liver disease or cirrhosis if the damage is especially serious. Fatty liver disease is the less serious form of early cirrhosis, but both are reversible with the proper treatment (not conventional medicine treatments which don’t acknowledge that either are reversible).

On the other hand, alcohol consumption is arguably a vital part of treatment for most people who have a serious diagnosis such as cancer, autoimmune disease, or diabetes. In low doses, the right type of alcohol (which must contain nutrients like iron, zinc, and copper in trace quantities), works like insulin in the body to ensure that these vital nutrients, particularly iron, does not enter into broad circulation where it can be snatched up by pathogens for use against us. Rather, the iron, zinc, and copper travels with the alcohol directly into cells, with alcohol acting like a substitute for insulin. Insulin sensitivity may be low with human cells resisting the entry of these nutrients into cells due to the presence of a pathogen that’s hiding out in camouflage, doing molecular mimicry. Cells go into a state of Cell Danger Response where they close their doors even to insulin in the presence of sneaky pathogens. Insulin acts as the universal key-holder for human cells, but like insulin, alcohol provides secret passage through cellular membranes as well. Through the calculated administration of very low dose iron, copper, and zinc-rich alcohol (especially red wine), patients can receive these healing nutrients while keeping them from pathogens that would, if they could, consume them before our bodies gain access.

In a discussion about the liver and fat-soluble vitamin sequestration, there’s a risk that patients might take too much alcohol such that human cells resist the seductive effects of very low doses of alcohol, missing the medicinal opportunity available through administration of this life-giving medicine. Take too much alcohol and cells regard it as toxic. Then you are essentially taking a poison that will worsen the whole condition. So dosing really matters in regard to red wine or whiskey administration (both of these alcohols contain iron, zinc, and copper). In both regard to both whiskey and red wine, less is more.

There are basically just two types of fatty liver disease: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic fatty liver disease. We don’t want to worsen either of these conditions inadvertently by administering red wine or whiskey. We do, however, want to give the body iron, zinc, and copper to rebuild red blood cells and the ability to produce energy, enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters in a body that has developed anemia due to chronic inflammation.  

So alcohol is an important medicine, but at too high of a dose it can be counterproductive through its effects on the liver especially.

In the liver, under conditions of low-level infection with pathogens such as Streptococcus pyogenes (among others) the sequestration site for fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, K1, and K2) can become problematic.
