| A constipated large intestine prevents the body from eliminating the waste products contained in feces. The holding back of fecal matter in the lower parts of the intestinal tract leads to a toxic environment in the colon and, if the situation is not resolved, in the entire body. |
| Liver bile is a bitter, alkaline fluid of a yellow, brown, or green color. It has multiple functions. Apart from assisting with the digestion of fat, calcium, and protein foods, bile is needed to maintain normal fat levels in the blood, remove toxins from the liver, help maintain proper acid/alkaline balance in the intestinal tract and keep the colon from breeding harmful microbes. To maintain a strong and healthy digestive system and feed body cells the right amount of nutrients, the liver has to produce 1-1.5 quarts of bile per day. Anything less than that is bound to cause problems with the digestion of food, elimination of waste, and the body's continual detoxification of the blood. Many people produce just about a cupful of bile or less per day. Almost all health problems are a direct or indirect consequence or reduced bile availability. Gallstones in the liver are the main impediment to acquiring and maintaining good health, youthfulness, and vitality. Gallstones in the liver are, indeed, one of the major reasons people become ill and have difficulty recuperating from illness. |
| The situation is different with regard to the gallbladder, where up to about 20 percent of all stones can be made up entirely of minerals, predominantly calcium salts and bile pigments. Whereas diagnostic tests can easily detect these hardened, relatively large stones in the gallbladder, they tend to miss the softer, noncalcified stones in the liver. Only when excessive amounts of cholesterol-based stones (85-95 percent cholesterol), or other clumps of fat, block the bile ducts of the liver may an ultrasound test reveal what is generally referred to as "fatty liver." A fatty liver can gather up to 20,000 stones before it succumbs to suffocation and ceases to function. |
| The Liver is related to the emotion of Anger according to Chinese Medicine and is a Pitta (fire) organ according to Ayurveda. When someone becomes angry it effects the Liver. |
| Many people believe that gallstones can be found only in the gallbladder. Most gallstones are actually formed in the liver, and few occur in the gallbladder. Intrahepactic gallstones are stones obstructing the liver's bile ducts. These stones continuously block the liver's bile ducts, which greatly stresses this vital organ and the rest of the body. They prevent the necessary amounts of bile from reaching the intestines You can easily verify this by giving yourself a liver cleanse. after which you will see hundreds of green, beige- colored, brown, or black gallstones floating in the toilet bowl. Unless there is an indication of major liver trouble, doctors rarely check for such intrahepactic stones. Unfortunately, although the liver is one of the most important organs in the body, its disorders are also underdiagnosed all too often. You will learn how to remove painlessly up to several hundred gallstones at a time. The size of the stone ranges from that of a pinhead to a small walnuts. The actual liver cleanse takes place within a period of less than fourteen hours and can be taken conveniently over a weekend at home. |
| Obstructions in the body are directly or indirectly linked to restricted liver performance -- in particular, to an impasse caused by gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. The presence of chunks of hardened bile and other trapped organic or inorganic substances in the organs greatly interferes with such vital processes as the digestion of food, elimination of waste, and detoxification of harmful substances in the blood. By decongesting the liver bile ducts and the gallbladder, the body's 60 to 100 trillion cells will be able to "breathe" more oxygen, receive sufficient amounts of nutrients, efficiently eliminate their metabolic waste products, and maintain perfect communication links with the nervous system, endocrine system, and all other parts of the body. |
| A stagnant liver is characterized by obstructed energy flow. Menstrual problems can be a sign that the liver is stagnant. The emotional signs of a stagnant liver include anger, frustration, edginess, depression, and moodiness. The female reproductive system depends largely on the smooth functioning of the liver. Most problemsof the reproductive system result from improper lymph drainage. Congestion in the Thoracic duct affects the organs on the reproductive system. |
| Gallstones inhibit the Liver's ability to break down protein. Excessive proteins are leads to blood vessel thickening, which leads to High Blood Pressure, and when blood pressure rises overall kidney performance drops. More and more of the metabolic waste products excreted by the kidney cells, which would normally be eliminated by the venous blood vessels and lymph system, and are now retained and adversely affect the performance of the kidneys even further. Through all this the kidneys become overburdened. |
| The Liver is responsible for Detoxifying the blood and the body. If digestion does not go well because the stomach, the pancreas, the liver, or the small Intestine are sluggish or impaired then digestion does not go properly and the Liver becomes overburdened to clean out the toxicity created by the partially digested food. Also the Liver needs the nutrients from the Food to do its functions for digestion properly. Therefore it is imperative to do Liver cleanses so that digestion can occur properly, but it is also important to learn the laws of Nutrition and Digestion so that the Liver does not become overburdened. The Supplements we promote are all Digestive aids and ease the burden upon the Liver. |

The liver has direct control over the growth and functioning of every cell in the body. Any kind of malfunction, deficiency, or abnormal growth pattern in the cell is largely due to poor liver performance. The origin of most diseases can easily be traced to the liver. All diseases or symptoms of ill health are caused by an obstruction of some sort. Cancerous tumors result from major congestion in the connective tissues, blood vessel walls, and lymphatic ducts, all of which prevent healthy cells from receiving enough oxygen and other vital nutrients. Almost every patient suffering a chronic illness has excessive amounts of gallstones in the liver. The majority of gallstones in the liver consist of the same "harmless" constituents as are found in liquid bile, with cholesterol being the main ingredient. A number of stones consist of fatty acids and other organic material that has ended up in bile ducts. The fact that the majority of these stones are just congealed clumps of bile or organic matter makes them practically "invisible" to x-rays, ultrasonic technologies, and computerized tomography (CT). People with chronic illnesses often have several thousand gallstones congesting the bile ducts of the liver. Some stones may have also grown in the gallbladder. By removing these stones from these organs through a series of liver cleanses and maintaining a balanced diet and lifestyle, the liver and gallbladder can restore their original efficiency, and most symptoms of discomfort or disease in the body can start subsiding. Ridding the liver bile ducts of gallstones is one of the most important and powerful procedures you can apply to improve and regain your health. Failure to recognize and accept the incidence of gallstone formation in the liver as an extremely common phenomenon may very well be the most unfortunate oversight that has ever been made in the field of medicine, both orthodox and complementary. |
