Liver Cleansing
Written by Cathy Shea
Our liver is the largest internal organ
and has over 300 functions that science has documented.It is my opinion that there are many other jobs as yet undiscovered
that this organ manages. It is important to note that one of the major functions is to help metabolize sugar as well as keep
the hormones in balance. Endocrine function affects al other functions of the body. It is of vital importance to cleanse the
liver regularly to enhance these activities. Think of our liver as a large filter. The blood is sent there for filtration
and processing from all over the body. Then it is delivered to our heart for the major circulation. If the liver is weak or
full of toxins, then the body will feel week and toxic. There are many books and articles that extol the virtues of liver
cleansing. Most of them are quite harsh and require extreme measures. We've experimented over the years and found the
following protocol to be the least aggressive and most effective. Remember to take a few days off so that you may rest while
doing a liver cleanse. The body needs this extra relaxation to rejuvenate and repair at the cellular level. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS MEDICATIONS TO PERFORM
THIS CLEANSE. YOU MAY NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR THIS PROCEDURE IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN ONE DAILY MEDICATION. ASK YOUR DOCTOR.
Be brave, make sure you have the support of a coach like your
colon hydrotherapist and take things SLOWLY!!
Gas? Why so Much? Written

2) Mental, 3) Emotional 4) Spiritual reasons Very
often its not what we eat but what's eating us!Inadequate chewing.... proper chewing necessary for carbohydrates in particular
(amylase only present in saliva). We have no teeth in the stomach!!Eating
cold foods-nothing leaves the stomach until it reaches 98.6 degrees. The stomach is likean oven and as food sits and cooks it ferments. Drink warm water with lemon or warm tea before
eating, especially an animal flesh meal.Drinking carbonated beverages-literally drinking gas!Improper food combining (a) fruits
& sweets, always eat alone (b) eat proteins with vegetables (c) eat starch with vegetables-DESSERTS ARE A DISASTER! Chewing gum & talking while you eat-inadequate chewing and
swallowing air.Never eat when upset about anything-maybe just some warm liquids / soupLow HCL levels in stomach (a cup of
water with lemon raises HCL naturally)Using antacids like Tums or Rolaids will diminish stomach acid, which is vital to the
digestive process. Most people who feel they need these drugs actually have too little acid to break down the foods properly.
The foods sit too long in the stomach as it tries to create more digestive juices, fermentation occurs, acid reflux can result.
This can lead to GERD (gastro esophageal-reflux-disease), which means that the stomach acids go up into the esophageous and
burn that delicate tissue. If one has these symptoms more than once per week, they must eat smaller meals more often, use
the warm water w/lemon before meals, stop eating 4-5 hours prior to sleeping, handle their emotional issues and eliminate
the foods.
Laxatives
BECAUSE... 1. They irritate the entire digestive tract. 2. They upset the
ph of the stomach and digestive process. 3. They artificially stimulate peristalsis. 4.
They aggravate the nervous systems. 5. They cause cramping and discomfort. 6. They are
unpredictable. 7. They may give instant relief, but potential long term damage to the lining of the digestive system. 8. They cause dehydration since they move the chyme through too quickly interrupt
water absorption to cells. 9. They create a vicious cycle of diarrhea / constipation
/ diarrhea / constipation / diarrhea / constipation. 10. They cause weakness in the
colon muscles and potential ballooning and strictures. 11. Long term use can reduce muscle tone and the
colon become distorted. 12. They cause excess mucous build up to protect and
shield the colon from the irritation. 13. Ultimately, they cause a worse constipation problem. 14.
Finally, they no longer work. 13. Ultimately, they cause a worse constipation problem. 14. Finally, they no longer work. 13. Ultimately, they cause a worse constipation problem. 14. Finally, they no longer work.
