Liver Detoxing Gives Renewed Life

Environmental toxins effect everyone. Scientists are just coming to realize the dangers of the chemicals we have been using over the past 100 years. Chemicals once thought safe and those no longer in use are turning up in the local wildlife. Prescription drugs which are flushed down the toilets, by the millions each day, in hospitals and those which we take that the body tries to eliminate, are flushed along into our water treatment plants, where the sludge from these plants is taken to farms and spread on the fields as fertilizer.

Everyday household chemicals we wash down the drain don't just go away. They interact with the environment and change into deadly toxins, some of which are called dioxins. These dioxins, in turn, are cycled right back into us through our food and water supplies. They are also leaching into the wildlife population and domesticated animal population. Dioxins are deadly neuro and adrenal toxins which interfere with the natural biological and reproductive abilites in man and animal.

Our bodies find is very difficult, if not impossible, to rid themselves of these toxins. The result is they build up in our bodies and wreak havoc on our health. What can be done?

Many people are taking a holistic approach, since modern medicine seems light years away, from finding a method of getting these deadly toxins out of our bodies. The holistic approach uses time tested herbs and super foods which are clinically proven to bind to harmful chemicals and sweep them from the body. They also renew the immune system and assist the body in fighting cancer as well as inducing the body to grow new, healthy cells more resistant to toxins.

What are these?

The first is chlorella which has been found to bind to heavy metals and toxins and assist in their removal while inducing the body to regrow healthy, toxin resistant, non-cancerous cells. Chlorella also contains phytonutrients, complete essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids. View the complete profile on chlorella in our other article, at the top of today's newsletter.

The second is a total body cleanse. Many of the deadly toxins build up on our colon walls. This is where deadly bacteria can infest it and turn the toxins into even deadlier compounds. Researchers suggest that people go on a colon cleanse twice per year. These don’t have to be the juice fast or extreme lemonade diets. A simple diet change to mostly raw or lighty steamed fruits and vegetables, along with a two part cleansing system can have a huge impact on how we look and feel. We will go into more detail about this colon cleanse product in our next newsletter.

Silymarin, Artichoke, and Dandelion Combination

Silymarin has antioxidant properties which are thought to lesson or prevent damage to body cells due to oxidation. The anti-inflammatory aspects of silymarin, researchers say, keep liver cells from swelling in response to injury and seem to encourage new cell growth while inhibiting the growth of scar tissue and inactive fibrous tissue. Additionally, this new cell growth is more resistant to injury from toxins and stress. The changes to the outer layer of cells may actually serve to keep out certain harmful chemicals, thus not allowing them to bio-accumulate in the body.

Additionally, silymarin may cause the immune system to be more active. In laboratory tests involving various cancer cells, silymarin and other chemicals found in milk thistle, have been shown to slow or halt the growth of cancer cells. Other evidence suggest that silibinin, another component in milk thistle, may reverse the effects of radiation and chemotherapy, thus providing relief to cancer patients undergoing treatment and assisting the renewal of their organs and immune systems after treatments.

Researchers have concluded that more research needs to be undertaken before drawing definite conclusions, however, silymarin and other milk thistle components have been used for a few decades to treat illnesses. Many have found that their liver problems have lessened or reversed and others are finding renewed energy.

Artichoke extract has long been used by herbalists as a digestive tonic. Modern scientific studies have confirmed that artichoke extract promotes healthy digestion because of its ability to support normal bile flow and fat digestion. In addition, artichoke extract contains antioxidant bioflavonoids which have been under research for supporting a healthy vascular system.

Dandelion has long been accused of being a nuisance to gardeners and lawn enthusiasts alike. It is found abundantly in poor soil, in the northern hemisphere, in all temperate zones. Dandelion can redeem itself, it has many phytochemical properties which have long been used in traditional medicine, for hundreds of years. The root alone is a great source of many compounds including carotenoids, fatty acids, flavonoids, and phytosterols. Among herbalists it has a reputation for a wide range of uses including: sweeping the body and colon of toxins, flushing out exess water retention without disturbing the electrolyte balance, to treat candida, and to counteract chemicals, toxins, and other organophosphate compounds which can compromise your health.
