Detox Your Liver - Improve Your Health

Your liver is vital to your health as it plays an important role in your body's metabolic processes - particularly detoxification. Most of us take our liver for granted: it's probably the most ignored organ in your body, even though it is one of the most important.

How many of you have taken the time on a yearly basis to say:

"It's about time I cleaned by liver to make sure it stays healthy!"

I would guess probably very few of you! That's a shame because a healthy liver is critical for maintaining perfect health. Let's take a look at why!

Your liver:

• Detoxifies all the toxins it encounters both from inside or outside your body, converting fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble substances you can get rid of. The waste may also be converted into bile, which is useful in digestion.
• Detoxifies environmental pollutants. If your liver didn't continually remove metabolic waste and toxins from your bloodstream, you'd be dead in a matter of hours.
• Filters harmful toxins and substances out of nearly 100 gallons of blood every day and allows nutrients to reach your cells.
• Produces more than 13,000 crucial chemicals and hormones including cholesterol, testosterone and estrogen. It also manages more than 50,000 enzymes to maintain a healthy body. 

• Regulates blood-sugar levels and prevents dangerous spikes and lows. 

• Production of blood proteins, clotting factors and substances important to the production of red blood cells (erythrocytes) 

• Stores essential vitamins and minerals - including vitamins A, D, K and B12 - that help keep your bones strong.

When you're overloaded with toxins such as alcohol, prescription drugs, household chemicals, processed foods and more, your liver finds another way to get rid of waste. It creates balls of fat that collect in the liver itself. Those fats also spill into your bloodstream in the form of triglycerides, which increase your risk of heart disease.

Your liver also moves those toxins to other areas of your body, including your skin. In fact, skin conditions like dandruff and psoriasis are signs that your liver isn't working effectively and it requires a good cleaning.

What this amounts to is a systematic poisoning of your body that robs you of your strength, vitality... and even your sex drive. Chronic fatigue, high blood pressure and autoimmune disorders often stem from a sick liver.

Liver Detox the Right Way

So how do you start detoxing and cleansing your liver the correct way for much improved liver health and for better overall health? The following is a list of what I believe are the most powerful methods currently available for cleansing your liver. Try to do as many of them as possible.

• Glutathione therapy - glutathione is your body's master antioxidant and is highly concentrated in the liver. By giving an IV infusion of high dose glutathione directly into your blood, your liver is immediately flooded with this all important detoxifying antioxidant. 

• Ozone Colonic Therapy - since the liver detoxifies and dumps a large amount of its waste into the intestines, a clean colon is essential for a healthy and clean liver. Perform 3-6 colonics every year to keep your colon clean and healthy. The ozone is also highly detoxifying. 

• Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA) - this very important antioxidant is made by the body and is found in every cell, although it becomes depleted with stress, sickness and age. By giving an IV infusion of ALA your liver is detoxified significantly and can even be regenerated. IV ALA therapy has been used with great success to heal and regenerated diseased livers. This is a powerful therapy! 

• Rectal Ozone Infusions - ozone when inserted in the rectum is absorbed by the veins in that area and is taken directly to the liver. It then massively stimulates the detoxification enzymes in the liver by 400%! A wonderful liver detox therapy! 

• EBOO Whole Body Ozone therapy - by performing this ozone procedure your blood and organs are cleansed of toxins and wastes thereby reducing greatly the work of the liver. Ozone also opens up the blood flow to all the organs including the liver for improved functions and for better detoxification. A great liver detox treatment! 

• Milk Thistle (Silymarin) - silymarin and related flavonoids are some of the most potent liver-protecting substances known. These flavonoids are powerful antioxidants so protect the liver from damaging toxins and free radicals. They also stimulate healing and the production of new liver cells and cause the liver to increase production of glutathione. Silymarin has been proven to both protect liver cells and repair existing damage in animals intoxicated with mushroom toxins, medicines, heavy metals or toxic organic solvents. 

• Exercise - All you need is 10 -20 minutes of variable intensity exercise each day. Even if you don't drop weight, clinical studies show you'll still improve your liver enzymes. 

• Eat the right Foods - fried, spicy and starchy foods contain too many toxins and harmful chemicals in the form of color and flavoring agents, chemicals and preservatives. Fresh raw and organic foods are best. 

• Drink plenty of water - This helps your liver flush out toxins because water acts as a lubricating agent.

So there you have it - the right way to perform a liver detoxification for a much improved liver and for much improved overall health and vitality. When you combine the liver detox as part of a whole body detoxification program, the results are even more dramatic.
