Liver Cleansing - Yikes!

by Eve Mayer
We have all heard about liver cleansing and somehow we are all drawn to it. Instinctively, we know it is good for us – yet when we read the protocol, most of us shy away. Maybe some of us have braved a harsh cleanse once or twice. What if I told you we could clean the liver and gallbladder gently, without the harshness of Epsom salts and all of the purging? Would you be interested?

For your information, the liver is the power plant of the body. It is responsible for two major functions: 1) feeding the body: nutrients, enzymes and hormones; and 2) cleaning the body: removing cellular debris and breaking down toxins (organic and inorganic). Our bodies have a mere 60 to100 trillion cells! Every disease can be traced back to the liver. That’s pretty powerful stuff. It makes sense to me because it’s such a powerful organ. The liver is the only organ in the human body that can regenerate! During a liver transplant, surgeons attach a lobe of your liver to the recipient -- and it grows into a new liver. Your own liver then re-grows into a normal size again too. AMAZING, don’t you think. It takes a lot to kill it, but once you’ve killed it, you’re done for. No getting around it. Taking care of this amazing organ is a good idea.

I’ve done a lot of reading on the liver and cleansing. Most of the books say that excess protein is the cause of all our liver troubles and that we should all be vegetarians. I don’t agree. Let me state my case and you can decide. Of course I want you to eat tons of vegetables, but I also believe we need meat, organic, free range meat. I see what often happens to vegetarians’ bodies; they age prematurely, and no, I don’t want to get into that whole argument. Do what you want. I’m talking about the liver cleanse and what is going on inside the liver.

When humans were created how many toxins were on the planet??? Not many. We occasionally had to deal with something toxic. Let’s just go back 150 years; how many man-made chemicals were on this beautiful planet? Again, not many. There are now over 100,000 man-made chemicals on the books and counting! Let that sink in for just a little moment. Is your head around that number yet? Okay, let’s go on a plane ride. You drive into the airport; have you smelled jet fuel yet? You will. When you sit on the plane you will be soaking up flame retardant. Mmm, sounds good, my liver just loves a meal of jet fuel and flame retardant. Not to mention the chemicals I don’t even know about. All kidding aside, let’s walk through the body’s process to deal with these offenders.

The body has two different detoxification processes, Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 takes care of the simple things; it’s like the body taking the garbage out to the curb. Phase 2 is a little more involved. Let’s go back to the airport. You breathed in jet fuel and sat in flame retardant. Both of these are man made chemicals. The liver has to turn on its chemical plant and try to break down these inorganic chemicals into something that it can recognize, like an organic substance.

Here’s the amazing part: during this part of the operation the chemicals almost always become more volatile than the original substance. Scary! The reason the body is trying to break down and turn the inorganic substance into an organic substance is so it can break that substance down into something completely harmless and then send it on its way through the digestive tract. When the liver can’t break down a chemical into an organic substance it can understand, it does something wonderful. It says, this chemical will harm my human, and I have to protect her/him; so, it wraps the offending substance in cholesterol and packs it into the liver. Fantastic!

I think this was a perfect solution when we were first created and there were hardly any toxins on the planet, wouldn’t you say? We have to take responsibility for the way things are in our lives. We live in this time, not 150+ years ago when things were more pristine. Chemicals are here and we have to help our livers get rid of the toxins this beautiful organ has so graciously protected us from. The liver has only been doing its job and doing a damn good job at that. We can clean the liver and gallbladder. You can do it the week-long Epsom salts and flush method, or a gentler method I’ve developed. It’s inexpensive and easy. Call the front desk for information.

As always I encourage you to do your own research.

Live to be healthy, happy and make your world a better place.
