Heal Your Liver 101

When it comes to chronic illness and symptoms, it’s essential to work on healing your liver. It’s
heartbreaking how many people today are getting sick, and they’re trying so many things but they
just aren’t getting better. Unfortunately, both medical and alternative health communities are
unaware of the true causes of chronic illnesses and symptoms and how central the health of the
liver is to a huge number of illnesses and symptoms.

I don’t want you to have to wait decades for science and research to figure out the answers, so I
have shared the advanced information needed for healing in Liver Rescue: Answers to Eczema,
Psoriasis, Diabetes, Strep, Acne, Gout, Bloating, Gallstones, Adrenal Stress, Fatigue, Fatty Liver,
Weight Issues, SIBO & Autoimmune Disease so you can start healing now. Let’s look at a little of
what you can do for your liver here.

Your liver is an amazing, powerful and hardworking organ. When it’s not doing well—when you
have sluggish liver or fatty liver or its bogged down by toxins or too much protein or fat in the
diet—that’s a big part of the root of just about every condition and symptom under the sun,
including: acne, adrenal problems, autoimmune disorders, brain fog, chemical food sensitivities,
diabetes, constipation, dark circles under the eyes, emotional issues, fatigue, gallstones, gout,
heart palpitations, high blood pressure, hormone problems, IBS, inflammation, body pain,
jaundice, aging, liver cancer, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, insomnia, cysts, methylation problems,
seasonal affective disorder (SAD), SIBO, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, varicose veins
and weight gain.

Sadly, even young people today—kids in their teens and young adults in their 20s—are coming
down with these chronic illnesses and symptoms, and they’re being told that their body is attacking
itself, that they have an autoimmune disease. These young people are going through a horrible
shock and then an awakening to the sobering truth that nobody really knows the true causes of
their condition and how to make them well again. Being chronically ill, especially at a young age,
can break your spirit. But it doesn’t have to be this way—there are answers for you here and you
can heal.

I can only scratch the surface in this article about how you can get started on healing these
conditions. So check out Liver Rescue for details on how to improve specific health issues. The
book is packed full of undiscovered healing and medical information that won’t be discovered for
decades.
The beginning of the liver story isn’t too pretty. Basically, we’re all born with livers that are already
weakened, because a lot of toxins are actually passed down the family line. We inherit them at
conception and in the womb. And then our livers are barraged by a wide range of toxins
throughout the entire course of our lives because of the imperfect modern world we live in.

Now, our livers are designed to deal with some of that. We were made with this incredible organ
for a reason. The way it works is the liver contains three levels, or three depths. When you’re
exposed to toxins, your liver works hard to snatch them up and capture them away within the
depths of the liver to protect you. Ideally, your liver will then also neutralize the toxins, detoxify
them and remove them from your body through its various elimination channels. But the problems
come when your liver is flooded or bogged down with too many toxins and it can’t keep you safe
from all of them, despite it’s miraculous and constant efforts to do so.

Troublemakers for Your Liver

Let’s run through some of the toxins our livers are inundated with. But first, I’ll warn you that this
list could seem a little overwhelming, especially since you can’t run from all of this or completely
avoid all of these toxins. Just remember that you can work to clear these troublemakers and heal
your liver and get your quality of life back. I’m going to tell you how. But again, for more details,
specific healing steps and dosages, and for a complete list of what I call the “Liver
Troublemakers,” you’ll want to get a copy of Liver Rescue. Please note that the troublemakers
listed below are only a handful of the Liver Troublemakers listed in Liver Rescue. Refer to the
chapter on this topic in Liver Rescue for a complete list.

Petrochemicals and plastics. We inhale gas exhaust all the time, including when we pump our gas
or drive behind a diesel truck or walk by an idling school bus. We absorb it into our bloodstream
when we use kerosene, lighter fluid, gas grills and gas stoves. To understand where and how the
liver stores these toxins, and why so many people’s livers aren’t given the opportunity to safely
remove them from the body at a later date, please refer to Liver Rescue.

Chemical solvents and nanotechnology. These are everywhere, including in cleaning agents,
carpeting agents, paint thinner, paint lacquer, new furniture and nanotechnology.

Household chemicals. These are pervasive in air fresheners, colognes, perfume, hairspray,
scented candles, hair dye, conventional makeup, conventional cleaning products, conventional
laundry detergent and conventional dryer sheets.
Smoke. Any kind of smoke exposure goes to the liver, whether that’s the smoke from the largely
unknown agricultural practice of burning masses of plastic or from a forest fire or from a cigarette.

Chlorine. Any time you swim in a chlorinated pool, you’re absorbing some chlorine through your
skin.

Stress hormones. When we’re under stress, adrenaline pumps into the liver, which puts us at risk
for countless symptoms and conditions including liver disease, breaks down our bile reserves and
breaks down hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Even in young people, livers today are being
bombarded with the effects of excess adrenaline.

Viruses and bacteria. There are all kinds of viruses and bacteria in our modern world, including
many undiscovered strains of Epstein-Barr, shingles, herpes and streptococcus. I have revealed
these different strains in my books. People can inherit some of these pathogens through their
family line. They can also be exposed in many other ways, like when they take a sip of a friend’s
water or touch a dirty doorknob and later rub their eyes.

Toxic heavy metals. People can also inherit metals like lead, mercury, aluminum, nickel, barium,
arsenic and copper. And it’s all too easy to be exposed to these metals in daily life. Take the
heavy metal copper for instance. When the local park is being sprayed with pesticides (many of
which contain copper and mercury) and you breathe that in, or when you drink water that ran
through a copper pipe, you’re absorbing the metal. This industrial copper is different to the trace
mineral copper which can be found in healthy foods.

Pharmaceuticals. Medications you’ve taken over the years can be harbored in the liver. And sadly,
our water supply is filled with them: antibiotics, antidepressants, anti-inflammatory medications,
biologics, immunosuppressant drugs, prescription amphetamines, statins, blood pressure
medication, hormone medication, thyroid medication, steroids and even contraceptives. (This is
why a high-quality water filter is essential, by the way. For recommendations for water filters and
other home and kitchen tools, check out my website).

This means that even if you’ve never taken medications, you’ll still have some stored in your liver
from drinking tap water at some time in your life. It’s OK if you need to take certain meditations,
but you can still clear out the past medications from your system so your liver can heal and handle
new exposure more effectively.
 Food-Based Troublemakers

There are also ways of eating and some foods that are simply hard on the liver. Let’s take a look
at some of these now:

Eggs. They keep pathogens that thrive inside the liver alive. Eggs are what was used in labs to
raise viruses like Epstein-Barr. Viruses feed off eggs. It doesn’t matter whether those eggs are
organic and pasture-raised (although certainly if you are going to eat eggs, that’s the kind of eggs
you want to be eating). Nonetheless, eggs are eggs, and unfortunately they allow viruses to thrive.
The undiscovered truth is that viruses are the actual root cause of many so-called autoimmune
diseases and other health conditions. To understand the root cause of different symptoms and
conditions, check out Liver Rescue.

Dairy. Cheese, milk and other dairy products will also feed viruses and be very hard on your liver.

Vinegar. Yes, even apple cider vinegar (which is certainly the best kind of vinegar) can be harmful
to your liver (it basically pickles it!) when you consume too much. For more on apple cider vinegar
and other misinformed health trends popular today, again, see Liver Rescue.

Excessive salt. Bad salts or excessive salt is hard on your liver, and if you combine the salt with
vinegar you also create a pickling action in your organ.

Pork products. Very high in fat so they are extremely hard on the liver

To read a full list of the troublemaking foods to avoid, you can read the chapter on this topic in
Liver Rescue.

Healing Support

I know it can seem overwhelming to consider all these problematic Liver Troublemakers. But the
good news is that you now have answers and the information you need to heal. And there’s so
much you can do to heal and get your life back. Let’s focus now on some powerful foods, herbs
and supplements that will help your liver heal and work well into the future.
B12 with the right blend of adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin. The right kind of B12 can get
a person recovering and on a path of starting to heal. As with all supplements, some are junk and
harmful, and some are amazing. I have the highest quality options on my website to help you
know what’s really good, so check that out before your make a purchase. I don’t sell supplements;
it’s simply a list of the products I know work.

Apples (srp. jabuke). They’re an incredible food that provides a specific kind of hydration--a living
water--to the liver. Your liver needs certain kinds of hydration that can only come from fruit, and
apples are really important for this.

Apricots (srp. kajsija). Dried or fresh, the contain helpful phytochemical compounds.

Arugula (srp. rukola). Causes a gentle purging of the liver.

Asparagus (srp. špargla). Provides a type of flavonoid that’s rare. It soothes the liver, and this
flavonoid helps calm a sick liver, purges the liver and strengthens the liver’s immune system.

Atlantic dulse and kelp (srp. atlantske alge i kelpi). These are really good for the liver. Dulse is an
ingredient in the Medical Medium heavy metal detox smoothie for a reason.

Bananas (srp. banane). They provide a type of glucose for the liver that’s incredible, and they are
an antiviral, anti-yeast, antibacterial, and antifungal food.

Berries (srp. bobičasto voće). They’re a medicine chest all on their own—they’re incredible.

Broccoli (srp. brokoli). It contains amazing sulfur compounds that stop bacteria. They’re great for
clearing out streptococcus that’s in the liver and lymphatic system, which by the way is what
causes acne.

Brussels sprouts (srp. prokelj). It has the same powerful compounds as broccoli.
Celery (srp. celer). I can’t say enough about celery. Spirit and I introduced celery juice to the world
decades ago—and it’s all the rage now, rightly so!—for good reason. For one, it contains
undiscovered subgroups of mineral salts (called cluster salts) that strip the membranes off of
viruses so they die and can be flushed out of the body. This truth won’t be discovered by research
and science for another 50 years or so. Celery also restores the liver’s bile production, so
hydrochloric acid builds back up in the stomach. Celery purges the liver of toxins, and it also helps
dissolve gallstones. I could go on and on about how powerful it is for healing your liver and your
health.

Tomatoes (srp. paradajz). They harness critical micronutrients, phytochemicals, vitamins and
minerals that literally stop liver illnesses of all kinds. Tomatoes help the liver detoxify red blood
cells safely, and they heal the liver.

There are many other powerful liver supporting foods that I cover in Liver Rescue and how their
undiscovered healing properties are helpful.

Other herbs and supplements that will help detoxify and heal the liver include:

Ashwagandha (srp. ešvaganda)

Cat’s claw (srp. mačja kandža)

Barley grass juice powder (srp. prah ječmene trave)

Chaga mushroom (srp. čaga pečurka)

Ginger (srp. đumbir). Try juicing ginger or making ginger water.

CoQ10 (srp. koenzim Q10)

Lemon balm (srp. matičnjak)

Licorice root (srp. korijen sladića)

Melatonin (srp. melatonin)

Nettle leaf (srp. kopriva)

Spirulina (srp. spirulina)

Rose hip tea (srp. čaj od šipka)

Ester-C (srp. vitamin C)

Zinc sulfate (srp. cinkov sulfat)

Wild blueberry powder (srp. prah divlje borovnice)

Nascent iodine (srp. atomski jod)

Peppermint tea (srp. čaj od pitome nane)

Moving Forward

All of those foods, supplements and herbs are options for you, and you can do them all
periodically or change them up. But again, see Liver Rescue for more detail and guidance you can
use to heal. In the book, I explain what each food, herb or supplement does. I also share the
specific dosages that are helpful for particular health issues.

For instance, there’s sections in Liver Rescue where I talk about the real cause and how to heal all
of the following: acne, adrenal problems, autoimmune disorders, brain fog, chemical food
sensitivities, diabetes, constipation, dark circles under eyes, emotional problems, energy issues,
fatigue, sluggish liver, gallstones, gout, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, hormones
problems, IBS, inflammation throughout the body, pain, jaundice, aging, liver cancer, insomnia,
cysts, methylation problems, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), SIBO, sinus infections, urinary
tract infections, varicose veins, weight gain and more.

It’s critical to take care of your liver, and it’s critical to know what to do to get the toxins out from
deep in the center of the liver and all its layers. I want to support you in your healing, and I know
that you can begin moving forward with healing now you have the truths and tools I share here
and in Liver Rescue in your hands.

Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie

This smoothie is not only delicious, it's also perfectly designed to include five key ingredients that
work together in synergy to pull heavy metals like mercury, lead, aluminum, nickel, copper, and
cadmium out of your organs where they accumulate.

Toxic heavy metals are virtually everywhere, and are present in things we come in contact with
every day, such as aluminum cans and aluminum foil, batteries, metal cookware, old paint, and
even the foods we eat. For instance, pesticides and herbicides (which are hard to completely
avoid even on a strict organic diet), are a common source of heavy metals. As a result, most of us
are carrying around heavy metals that have been with us for almost our whole lives and which
have burrowed deep inside our tissues.
Unfortunately, it is these “old” metals, the ones that have been lurking in our system for prolonged
periods of time, that pose the greatest threat. For example, over time toxic heavy metals can
oxidize, causing damage to surrounding tissue and promoting inflammation. They literally poison
our bodies, and can inflict damage on virtually every system and organ, including our brain, liver,
digestive system, and other parts of our nervous system. Toxic heavy metals put an immense
burden on our immune system, leaving us vulnerable to a variety of illnesses.

While toxins of every kind are harmful, heavy metals pose a unique threat. Not only are they
damaging in their own right, they are also a form of neurotoxin (a poison that disrupts nerve
function and confuses your immune system). Heavy metal neurotoxins can inflame and irritate our
central nervous system (especially our brain), causing multiple symptoms such as memory loss,
brain fog, fatigue, and depression. Toxic heavy metals can also promote inflammation in the
digestive tract, releasing poisons into our gut as well. As if this isn’t bad enough, heavy metals
also serve as a source of food for viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens in our body.

For example, heavy metals can serve as a feeding ground for Streptococcus A or B, E. coli, C.
difficile, H. pylori, and yeast cells. This can create an overgrowth of multiple bacteria in our gut,
resulting in a condition known as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which is
characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation (or both), and can lead to
nutrient deficiencies. Additionally, when viruses such as Epstein-Barr and shingles feed off toxic
heavy metals, this can produce symptoms such as tingling, numbness, fatigue, anxiety, heart
palpitations, ringing in the ears, dizziness and vertigo, as well as neck pain, knee pain, foot pain,
pain in the back of the head, and a variety of other aches and pains that are often attributed to
other causes.

It's virtually impossible not to take in a certain amount of these toxic heavy metals in our modern
era, so it's vitally important to our health that we get them out before they can wreak further havoc
on our health. Thankfully, it's relatively simple to remove them from our organs if we consume the
right foods to do so. Adding the following all-star team of foods to your diet and being diligent in
your efforts to consume them will go a long way toward ridding your body of heavy metals:

Spirulina (srp. spirulina): This edible blue-green algae draws out heavy metals from your brain,
central nervous system, and liver, and soaks up heavy metals extracted by barley grass juice
extract powder. Take 2 teaspoons mixed in water, coconut water, or juice.

Barley grass juice extract (srp. prah ječmene trave): prepares the mercury for complete absorption
by the spirulina. This nutritive grass has the ability to draw heavy metals out of your spleen,
intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system. Drink 1-2 teaspoons mixed into
coconut water or juice.

Cilantro (srp. korijander): Goes deep into hard-to-reach places, extracting metals from yesteryear
(so it’s great for that mercury inheritance you’re carrying around!). Blend one cup in a smoothie or
juice, or add to salad or guacamole.

Wild blueberries (srp. divlje borovnice): Draw heavy metals out of your brain tissue, healing and
repairing any gaps created by oxidation when the heavy metals are removed. It is important to use
wild blueberries, as they possess unique phytonutrients with special detoxifying capabilities. The
potent antioxidants in wild blueberries help reverse any oxidative damage left behind by the heavy
metal removal. This is especially important for your brain tissue—in fact, wild blueberries are the
most powerful food for halting or in some cases reversing Alzheimer’s and dementia. Eat at least
one cup daily. Note: while cultivated blueberries are nutritious, they lack the metal-drawing ability
of the wild blueberries. Wild blueberries can be found in the freezer section of most supermarkets.

Atlantic dulse (srp. atlantske alge): In addition to mercury, this edible seaweed binds to lead,
aluminum, copper, cadmium, and nickel. Unlike other seaweeds, Atlantic dulse is a powerful force
for removing mercury on its own. Atlantic dulse goes into deep, hidden places of the digestive tract
and gut, seeking out mercury, binding to it, and never releasing it until it leaves the body. Eat two
tablespoons of flakes daily, or an equal amount of strips if it’s in whole-leaf form. Note: As it comes
from the ocean, if you are concerned about the dulse itself having mercury, be aware that Atlantic
sea dulse will not release any mercury it might possess into the body. It holds on to the mercury as
it works its way through, and even grabs onto other metals along the way and drives them out as
well. Atlantic dulse is a critical part of the team because it can hang out near the finish line (i.e.,
our colon), waiting for the other foods that have been grabbing on to heavy metals along the way.
It serves as emergency backup, helping ensure that all the heavy metals that made it as far as the
colon actually leave the body.

Today's smoothie recipe gives you a simple and tasty way to get all of these five foods into your
daily diet in just one go. Drink this smoothie daily for optimal benefits.
