We'll come to find out that if you did a little anatomy research on the body, you have a main vein in your liver called your portal vein. It runs right through the center of your livers. Well, guess what happened to this vein with this patient?

all the fat accumulation around that portal vein started to constrict it. That was the underlining cause of her high blood pressure. So all this work with blood-pressure meds and cardiologists and this, that, the other, it resulted around a fatty liver. We got about 35 pounds off her body, we defatted the liver, and guess what happened to her blood
