The Liver – Treating and Maintaining the Root of Life
In the stakes for ‘most valuable organ’ many would choose the brain – but what about the humble liver? Our livers perform many functions critical to our health related to digestion, and metabolism. They synthesize proteins, produce necessary biochemicals and detoxify our bodies. If our liver fails, we fail – as simple as that. This is why cirrhosis of the liver is so dangerous. Even healthy people should perform a liver cleanse regularly and for people who are suffering damage, threatened failure or problems related to cancer it is very important that care is taken with liver health. Our livers are regenerative organs – this means they can re-grow tissue. In fact, as little as 25% of a healthy liver can regenerate into a complete organ. This amazing ability can lead to problems when cirrhosis is present. When this disease occurs, the damaged tissue is regenerated, and gradually the working part of the organ is significantly reduced. This can lead to pain, damage to overall health and eventually complete failure and death. Even without the presence of cancer, your liver can undergo a terrible onslaught of damaged tissue. The key to stopping this from happening is to regularly cleanse the organ before cirrhosis can set in. Because our liver affects so many other systems in our bodies as well as providing a vitamin’ storage facility for Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Copper and Iron, the loss of full functionality can be crippling to our health. Cancer of the liver is deadly if not diagnosed early and treated. Carnitine, a natural substance found in red meats and dairy products as well as many plants and seeds is showing some promise as a preventive treatment. Pain from problems of the liver is not the only symptom – watch for jaundice (yellowed skin and eyes) as a sign that there is damage and perhaps pending failure.
If your health is being adversely affected by liver problems you need to take immediate action. See the doctor for a diagnosis of cancer or cirrhosis. If you are not facing cancer or the danger of imminent failure than it is time to look to correcting your diet and health habits to correct the problem. A good cleanse program combined with herbal supplements to help restore proper function and allow the body’s natural regeneration to go to work will show results in as little as two weeks. You liver holds the key to life, you want to take care of it so that it will continue taking care of you.
