What is liver detoxification?

This article was posted on Monday, April 21st, 2008, in the following Categories: FAQ

The liver is an organ that acts as a complex ‘factory’, responsible for the processing of carbohydrates (sugars), fats, proteins, and the synthesis (formation) of bile, glycogen, and serum proteins. The liver also acts as the primary organ of detoxification, protecting us from environmental and metabolic toxins.
The most common substances causing liver toxicity include many prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications, recreational drugs, alcohol, tobacco, heavy metals, many human-made chemicals, food additives, chlorine and chlorine based products, herbicides, pesticides, petroleum products, solvents and commercial cleaning products, formaldehyde, combustion by-products, household chemicals, fluorocarbons, glues and adhesives, fluoride & chlorine and other chemicals in tap water, and chemicals found in common office supplies and common personal care products.
A unique feature of the liver is its ability to heal itself and regenerate cells, especially when supported by nutritional supplementation and other effective therapeutic methods.

One of the main steps in achieving vibrant health is to remove congestion anywhere and everywhere from the body. The body’s ‘toxic waste elimination organs’, found in every cell, the intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys, can become overburdened by exposure to man-made chemicals and heavy metals in our environment or in the foods we eat, or from the over-consumption of cooked, frozen, canned, or processed foods, alcohol, coffee, sugar (candy), fatty foods, drugs (prescription or recreational), and tobacco.

Why should a person ‘Detoxify’ their body?

For many natural doctors and therapists, it is a commonly held belief that all Americans are having serious problems with at least three of the five organs of elimination and detoxification. The five organs of elimination and detoxification are the colon (large intestine), kidneys, liver, lungs and skin.
Traditional medical doctors rarely receive any education related to nutritional support for the elimination and detoxification processes in the body. When was the last time you heard of a medical doctor putting a patient on a cellular, liver, or colon cleanse? Common sense and logic dictate that if a living organism ingests, inhales, or absorbs more toxins, chemicals, and disease causing foods than their elimination and detoxification systems can handle, there will be congestion and a loss of the expression of vibrant health, relative to the amount of toxic buildup.

Various forms of toxic buildup in the body are contributing factors to many disease states, or limit the ability of the body to function properly. Detoxification is vitally important for people to be able to get well in many acute and chronic conditions. Many people who think they are ‘healthy’ have no idea how sick they are, or better stated, how ‘well’ they could be. Elimination of toxins from the body is one of the keys to experiencing vibrant health.

When the body is healthy and vibrant, the organs of elimination handle the removal of toxins and unwanted substances in the body. When these systems begin to break down or become overloaded due to congestion of these organs and their systems, a person’s general quality of health will begin to diminish.
