Liver Detoxification

Fatty Liver Disease And Liver Detoxification

If you talk to radiologists and gastroenterologists who are looking at people's livers today, they will tell you that the condition called "Fatty Liver" affects more than 50% of people over the age of 50. Common causes are poor diet, excessive alcohol intake, adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs and toxic chemicals, and viral hepatitis. Gallbladder surgery is the most common ly performed operation in North America.

First, let me just say that if you have liver problems because of alcohol abuse, that it IS possible - I didn't say EASY - to change your behaviour. We all know abusing alcohol is bad for us. Why do we not do it then? Procastination? Lazyness? Mental barriers? I was first introduced to methods of breaking through procrastination by the popular motivational speaker Tony Robbins. Tony Robbins has helped me make marked improvements in not only my health but other aspects of my life as well. I highly recommend his life-changing programs.

PRAYER is helpful with ANY addiction.

But many things other than alcohol can cause liver and gallbladder problems. Every year, more than half a million people in the United States and more than 50,000 people in Canada undergo surgery to remove their gallbladders because of gallstones.

90% of people have gallstones to some degree 80% of people do not know that they have gallstones Approximately 80% of all gallstones show no symptoms and may remain "silent" for years. More than 60 % of Americans will, in their lifetime, develop some of these health conditions: Colitis, Crohn's disease, Irritable bowel syndrome, Allergies, Arthritis, Cancer...

Symptoms of liver disease include nausea, malaise, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, itching, a yellow coloring of the skin or the eyes, pain in the right upper part of the belly and dark urine. The best way to determine whether your liver has been compromised in with some simple blood tests.

One of the best tools you can use to prevent gallstones is a simple liver cleansing procedure which you can perform in the comfort of your home and which is very inexpensive: the Liver Flush.

Detoxifying the liver

Various nutrients are required in order for the liver detoxification to be carried out successfully. An adequate supply of key antioxidants is essential to prevent further liver damage. Milk thistle, vitamin C, selenium, beta carotene, vitamin E, and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) are all powerful antioxidants which are helpful in liver detoxification.

The amino acid SAM-E plays an important role in liver health, in addition to helping with depression. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage in the diet have been shown to enhance liver detoxification. I use those regularly when vegetable juicing.

The B vitamins, including riboflavin and niacin, also aid in liver detoxification.

Coffee Enema Helpful In Liver Detoxification

The use of coffee in enemas for liver detoxification purposes is well known. It makes some people chuckle. I prefer to think as a very powerful health practice for a healthy liver. The coffee enema is extensively used in the Gerson cancer therapy and is a practice which has been recommended by holistic and alternative medicine professionals for many years.

Coffee Enema For Liver Detoxification

Without getting too technical here, the caffeine that is absorbed into the entero-hepatic system causes the liver ducts, including the bile ducts, to empty into the sigmoid colon. Releasing the toxins in the liver ducts, makes room for toxins from the body to enter the liver for detoxification.

The alkaloids in the caffeine stimulate the production of an enzyme called "glutathione-S-transferase", which is an enzyme that facilitates the liver detoxification pathways. The coffee enema is safe even for people who are sensitive to caffeine because the coffee remains in the sigmoid colon, where it will not be absorbed, provided the proper amount is used and the enema bag is not placed too high.

Additional Methods Of Achieving Liver Detoxification

Milk thistle, SAM-E, the coffee enema and the"Liver Flush" are all discussed in detail on their respective pages. Good luck on your journey to a healthier liver!
