Survival

Even if the stomach, the spleen, 80 percent of the intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ from the pelvic and groin area are removed, the human body can still survive. And even if 80 percent of your liver were removed, the remaining part would continue to function. Within a few months, the liver would have reconstituted itself to its original size!

  1. My doctor in Florida told me I drank too much alcohol. I don't consider 1 beer a day excessive! But he also told me that if I stayed off alcohol for one week, my liver would return to "normal". I now try to go one week per month without alcohol.
