How to Detox part 2...Liver & Kidneys


Do you how important your liver is?? I bet most people don't...Well, maybe the ones that are on a liver transplant list do. Those people realize now.. It's just too bad that it takes a fatal situation to finally understand it.This body you have is the only one you get. People know this, I just think they don't really understand the urgency. In school we are taught that most "dis-eases" are genetic so we convince ourselves that we will end up like a family member that got cancer like an uncle that died of liver problems.

  "You are a product of your environment"

I attend the most up to date lectures, training and meetings with speakers that will blow your mind with scientific facts about the human body and how it really works (not what we are told by western medicine professionals). Fact; Genetics is only responsible for less than 20% of what happens to you health wise and it gets less and less as you age. It bugs me when I hear excuses like...I'm over weight because my mother is over weight PLEASE STOP! this couldn't be further from the truth. You are over weight because you are a product of your environment...Your mother ate a certain way, used certain products and had her ideas/habits on how food was represented so you were taught to do the same.


The liver does several things:
• It helps digest your food.
• It clears wastes from your blood.
• It makes proteins that help your blood to clot.
• It stores the sugars (glycogen) that are used for energy.
• It makes proteins that the body must have.
• It helps use and store vitamins.
• It makes chemicals that protect the body.
• It breaks down many toxins and drugs.


The kidneys perform a wide range of vital functions such as:
  • remove waste products from the body
  • remove drugs form the body
  • balance the body's fluids
  • release hormones that regulate blood pressure
  • produce an active form of vitamin D that promotes strong, healthy bones
  • control the production of red blood cells
Here's what happens when you don't take care of your liver & kidneys. Acute liver and or kidney failure becomes a medical emergency that requires hospitalization. Some causes of these failures can be reversed with treatment (if caught in the early stages) but in other situations if a person waits too long it can be deadly. Do you know how long it takes to get on a donor list ?? Besides do you know all the red tape involved? It can take years! Is that something you really want to do anyway?? Death or an organ transplant is your only two options...  Now do you understand?...I certainly do!

What to do about it? It's not hard people...You need to cleanse your body, you need to boycott these fast food habits (there are too many toxins in these foods for your body to eliminate), You need to drink alkaline water and never drink tap water!! Here are some herbs that will help to cleanse the liver and kidneys.

Herbs to cleanse the kidneys:
  • Goldenseal
  • Parsley
  • Dandelion
  • Cornsilk
Herbs to cleanse the liver: 
  • Turmeric 
  • Milk Thistle 
  • Yellow dock
  • Dandelion (cleanses both)
