Very interesting. I never realized how important the liver is in the body. It is literally the boss organ, and maintains the health of the entire body. I had elevated liver enzymes even while off cycle for a while. Ive also had damn high cholesterol off cycle and in combination with various other problems I've had for years I know it is liver bile related.
Bile so many important functions, too many to name but a few important ones are food digestion and absorbtion. It helps to dissolve food entering the intestines and serves as lubrication for easy stool passage. It also kills off remaining toxins and serves as a protecting coat to the intestines. Bile is obviously made in the liver. It is made up of dead bacteria, dead cells, toxins, and different substances the liver adds to it. Its stored in the gallbladder and when ingesting fat the gallbladder is stimulated to release bile and perform its numerous functions.
Where we encounter trouble is when the bile ducts are clogged or there is gallstones. Either one is very bad because they both can ultimately lead to liver congestion. Liver congestion, in my non medically backed opinion, is the primary cause for all diseases and health problems in the human body.
I would type more but im on my phone, but to put it briefly, the health state of the liver determines the health state of every other part of the body. The liver is the main detoxifier and if congested, due to bile backup from the gallbladder, it starts releasing toxins, dead cells, bacteria, viruses, all the things that were supposed to be eliminated through shitting, are being continously recirculated through the blood stream. The leads to system wide damage of tissues, entire organs such as the pancreas (which will further compound health issues since the pancreas releases the enzymes to break donb food), brain fogginess can occur, major skin itching due to the body trying to release the toxins in the blood through the skin, abdominal distention due to enlarged aka congested liver, dermatitis (inflammation of the skin due to excess toxins not being removed), anxiety, depression (the brain grts its nutrients from the liver and the.liver serves as a heavy influence to mental wellness, and contaminated blood going to the brain obviously can results in a plethora of mental problems and disorders.
Also, constipation is a huge warning sign of a congested liver. Without bile, the stools are literally fatty and greasy and stick to the walls of the intestinal tract. They then putrify and rot in the intestines. The intestines will abosrbs this rotting fecal matter into the.blood and circulates it throughout the body. Proper bile flow will prevent this. Bile breaks down food further and also serves as a mild laxative for food to exit easily. Bile has chemicals in it the stimulate the muscles in the intestinal wall to contract, pushing feces out of the body.
Inflammation will always occur where there are liver problems and inflammation can cause damage to glands such as saliva glands and occipital glands, leading to dry mouth and eyes. Inflmmation is a guarantee when you have liver congestion. It is the bodys way of saying it is dealing with unwanted substances or organisms. This is why I am looking into autoimmune disorders such as sjrogrens and such. I think autoimmune disorders where the body attacks its owns organs and tissues with inflammation is because of toxic blood. I have had chrnix dry eyes and mouth (sjogrens syndrome) and I am curious to see if the liver/gallbladder flush will cure these problems, along with all my others.
So anyway, im suffering with all the problems I listed above, so tonight I am doing a liver and gallbladder flush to see if that can cure me. Look up gall bladder or liver flush on google for more info. I will post results if anyone is interested.
I know this is a long post but bottom line is to keep your liver healthy guys. The chinese knew the importance of the liver thousands of years ago and have various herbs that help and even cure many "non curable diseases", by decongesting the liver.
Milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid, nac << very good for liver health. However this alone is to use after the liver is decongested, these supps will improve liver health and performance, but the liver still needs to be physically purged of all the shit that is built up within it.
Malic acid also softens bile allowing for easier flow and is used to soften gallstones for their removal.
The tell-tale sign of current liver condition is above all......skin condition. You see a person with healthy nice looking skin, you can bet they have a good liver. I finally understand what my dad (who worked in the medical field for over 15 years) meant by his saying, "show me a person with a bad liver and itll be one with a world of health problems.
