Not very...if you have no liver function at all, you will likely survive only about 24 hours at the most. Your liver is like your own personal chemical processing plant, and it does so many things for your body that you can't possibly survive without it. It detoxifies things by filtration and breaking them down; it makes bile that enables you to digest fat; it aids in digesting carbs; it breaks down waste products of metabolism into less harmful chemicals that can be excreted through the kidneys or digestive tract; it manufactures essential proteins. The really cool thing about the liver is that you can give someone part of it and it will regenerate itself, so transplants from living donors are possible.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

You can't.
Even with low liver functioning you will have a hard time surviving.
It controls your blood, your toxins, etc...
You can't live even an hour without your liver...

You cannot.
But if you have liver failure there are some options.
