Do You need A Liver Cleanse?

The liver is your most important organ of detoxification.  Your life depends on your liver.  to a large extent, the health of your liver determines the health of your entire body.  the liver is really a wonderful chemical plant, that converts everything we eat, breathe and absorb through the skin, into life-sustaining substances.  the liver is a major blood reservoir, forming and storing red blood cells, and filtering toxins at a rate of a quart of blood per minute.  it manufactures natural antihistamines to keep immune response high.

More than any other organ, the liver enables us to benefit from the food we eat.  Without the liver, digestion would be impossible, and the conversion of food into living energy nonexistent.  it is the primary metabolic organ for proteins, fats and carbohydrates.  it synthesizes and secretes bile, a substance that not only ensures good food assimilation, but also is critical to the excretion of toxic material from the gastrointestinal tract.  Blood flows directly from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver, where it deals with toxic substances from our food before they are distributed through our blood.  Blood also keeps returning to the liver, processing toxins again and again through the lymph system, until they are excreted by the bile or kidneys.

Abuse and Rejuvenation

Liver congestion and exhaustion, interferes with these vital functions.  unfortunately, since the common American diet is high in calories, fats, sugars and alcohol, with unkown amounts of toxins from preservatives, pesticides and nitrates, almost everybody has liver malfunction to some extent.  Health problems occur after many years of abuse, when the liver is so exhausted, it loses the ability to detoxify itself.  Still, your liver also has amazing rejuvenating powers, continuing to function when as many as 80% of its cells are damaged.  Even more remarkable, the liver can regenerate its own damaged tissue, so that even life-threatening situations, such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, acute gallstone attacks, mononucleosis, pernicious anemia, and even major surgery or death can be averted.

You can help your liver, by taking 5 deep, slow, cleansing breaths every hour.  Inhale slowly and as deep as you can, and exhaule slowly and fully, also as slow as you can.

Benefits of Cleansing the Liver

A liver detox is often the first vital step, for the body to begin to heal itself.  Gland function and digestion often improve right away.  You will notice this in terms of fewer instances of swollen glands during cold and flu season, and less lower back fatigue (which is adrenal often swelling).  Weight and cellulite control difficulties may be solved, especially if you currently notice unusual stomach distention, which is a clear sign of a swollen liver.  both gallstone and kidney stone accretions lessen.  Drug and alcohol cravings reduce.  most women notice that PMS and other menstrual difficulties like endometriosis are far less severe.  Seemingly unrelated problems like breast and uterine fibroids or infertility, and even osteoporosis may be corrected.  Male impotence is normally improved.  Inflammatory conditions like shingles flare-ups, neuritis pain and herpes outbreaks are helped.  Brown skin spots and spots before the eyes (signs that the liver is congested) begin to fade.

Signs You need A Liver Cleanse

* Unexplained fatigue, listlessness, depression, lethargy, or lack of energy.

* Numerous allergy reactions.

* A distended stomach, even if the rest of the body is thin.

* Mental confusion, spaciness.

* Sluggish elimination, general constipation alternating to dirrhea.

* Food and chemical sensitivities, accompanied by poor digestion and sometimes unexplained nausea.

* PMS, headaches and other menstrual difficulties.

* Bags under the eyes.

* Yellowish tint and/or liver spots on the skin, poor hair texture, slow hair growth, itching skin.

* Anemia and large bruise patches indicate severe liver exhaustion.

The truth is, everybody can always benefit from periodic liver cleansing.  if your diet is poor, you have high exposure to external and internal toxins, you’re frequently sick, or have any of the above signs, you need to take serious consideration into doing a full-blown liver cleanse.  There are many liver cleanse protocols and liver cleanse kits to choose from.  Do take note, that you will almost always go through a period of feeling worse when you start your cleanse.  These “ill feelings”, are due to your body pulling and retrieving all those toxins from their deeply imbedded tissue spaces, and transporting them from your body.  it is especially important to drink plenty of fresh, filtered water during this time, as well as to NOT be redepositing these same toxins into your body, by continuing to eat poorly and exposing yourself to the very same chemicals and harmful substances you are trying to rid yourself of.  in other words, make sure you “clean up your act”.
