BLOODWORK P13
Many years ago, before I went to Naturopathic Medical School, I spent a lot of my time
working as a receptionist. It was a small firm just outside New York. Each morning I would
commute through tons of traffic, clock in, and get ready to get stuff done.
With a limited team, everyone had their part to play. The sales team made the calls and
landed the deals, billing made sure we had the money coming in and going out to keep
our clients and vendors happy, our techs hit the streets and got the work done for our
clients and management made sure we stayed on point.
I was no exception. I had a role to play in the business and without my support, things
would fall apart.
Now I know that you are here to learn about your liver and you are wondering why I’m
telling you about my past job but the reason I bring this up is because your liver has many
of these same functions in the business that is YOUR BODY!!
Think about it. The receptionist acts as a gatekeeper to ensure unnecessary solicitations,
junk mail and calls are filtered out (viruses, mold, toxins, parasites) to ensure that only vital
communications get into the department that needs them to fulfill their role (phase 1
detoxification). Communications are reviewed and sorted to ensure deliverability (phase 2
detoxification). Receptionists are in charge of producing communications to ensure each
department gets what they need to operate effectively, delivering this information through
memos, emails and calls (hormones).
The liver does the same sort of triage for our bodies.
So what happens when you hack the emails, dump a truckload of paperwork on the desk,
pour some water on the computer and then ask why they haven’t got the work done…
Seems cruel, right? Yet, we often, unknowingly, do the exact same thing to our liver.
Before we get into the secrets - I want to share this with you… Let’s take a look at how we
are contributing to stressing out our livers and the whole darn office!
These are often found in fast foods, processed and pre-packaged ready-made foods, and
margarine. ALL BIG NO-NOs for me and hopefully now for you too!!
Your liver cannot safely tolerate any amount of trans fats as they cause an increase in blood
sugar and fat to deposit on the liver. Over time regular intake of trans fats causes too much
fat in the liver cells. The liver cells begin to swell causing liver tissue to harden and scar.
Let’s talk Oils…
Canola, Corn, Cottonseed, Soy, Sunflower, Safflower, Rapeseed and Rice Bran. I know these
sound healthy but trust me they are NOT! They are the industry's way of disposing of
agricultural waste and do nothing but lead to inflammation in your body and of course
your liver.
Coconut/MCT
Avocado
Hemp Seed
Grass-Fed Butter
Ghee
DRINKING ALCOHOL
When we consume alcohol, the liver diverts its energy to convert alcohol into a less toxic
substance but leaves the liver vulnerable to not adequately doing its other critical
functions. Think of my receptionist analogy! If not doing their job effectively, the alcohol
you ingest can be converted to formaldehyde…
Yep, the same stuff in products such as glues, permanent press fabrics, paints,
lacquers, and other toxic products.
EATING SUGAR
Sugar directly damages the liver. Sugar is as toxic as alcohol and can be even more
addictive than cocaine. Trust me - I know this firsthand ;)
Too much table-salt consumption increases blood pressure in your liver’s main artery
eventually leading to chronic liver disease. Himalayan Salt is another story as it provides a
complete array of minerals that your body can utilize.
sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do just to get some relief. However, if you find
yourself dependent on some of these pharmaceuticals I invite you to find a Naturopathic
Physician who can help you safely wean off and use more natural methods to handle
your pain.
Just because it is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe! Consult with your physician for possible
interactions and don’t just feed into the hype you read online. With over 20+ years of
clinical experience, I’ll tell you, the most harmful drug/supplement you take is the one you
don't discuss with your Naturopathic Physician!
Just because it is
“natural” doesn’t mean
it’s safe!
DRINKING TOO LITTLE WATER
Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Water helps flush waste out of the body. This prevents toxins
from building up and hurting the liver. Proper hydration makes the blood thinner, and
hence, easier for the liver to filter the blood and remove toxins.
And let us not forget the teeth. Now I know you probably never thought your teeth had
anything to do with your liver. I know I didn’t until I started studying over in Europe and
learned about the interconnection of our mouth to our entire body. As a matter of fact,
over there the dentist and the physician are part of the same clinic and you see the dentist
first so all your teeth issues can be cleared up because it is not possible to heal the body if
there are issues in the mouth.

toxins from building up
and hurting the liver
NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR MOUTHS…
Did you know that chronic pain in your canine teeth can be a sign of inflammation of the
liver or the gallbladder? That’s because the canine teeth are connected to your
liver/gallbladder meridian. Every tooth in your mouth is an actual living organ and has an
impact on specific organs just like the organs can have an impact on that tooth.
You have to open that mouth to drink the water and hydrate your body. The place where
the digestive tract begins…. But there is so much more to our teeth/oral health than just
what society trains us to think; get your teeth cleaned once a year, see if you have any
cavities and get a root canal if your tooth dies. Which let’s just say right here right now is
absurd. A tooth is a living organ and when it dies it needs to be removed from the body
not retained as a root canal which causes all sorts of disruptions to the energetic flow,
lymphatic flow, blood flow and severely undermines your immune system. So let’s discuss
your teeth! Now I know you probably never thought your teeth had anything to do with
your liver. I know I didn’t until I started studying over in Europe and learned about the
interconnection of our mouth to our entire body. As a matter of fact over there the dentist
and the physician are part of the same clinic; under the same roof and you see the dentist
first so all your teeth issues can be cleared up because it is not possible to heal the body if
there are issues that are unresolved in the mouth.
Did you know that chronic pain in your canine teeth can be a sign of inflammation of the
liver or the gallbladder???? That’s because the canine teeth are connected to your
liver/gallbladder meridian. Every tooth in your mouth is an actual living organ and has an
impact on specific organs just like vice versa the organs can have an impact on that tooth.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Does it really matter - let’s be kind to both?
1. A root canal

6. Titanium Implants
injuries
Yes, I am a physician teaching you about liver and gallbladder health telling you that you
need to have an amazing Biological Dentist on your team. That is how important your
mouth is to your overall health. A proper evaluation needs to be completed by a qualified
dentist using a Cone Beam ct scan as well as a CRT scan by a qualified physician.
Ultimately your mouth will be free of toxic fillings and contain porcelain ceramic ones
where needed. Your mouth will have zero titanium implants and if an implant is needed it
will be with a clean safe system made of Zirconia (beware that not all zirconia implants are
made equal). There will be no metals to create galvanic shock and your gums will be clean
and healthy. Home pro-tip -a water waterpik with the right isopathic remedies can be a
game changer for your gums! Any scars will be addressed with neural therapy (procaine
injections) and Root Canaled teeth will no longer be an option.
The liver is one of the largest solid organs (the skin is first) and is essential for our survival.
This organ performs over 500 processes including removal of toxins from the body’s blood
supply, maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, regulating blood clotting, and hundreds of
other vital functions.

Let’s take a look ;) at your eyes and their connection to your liver and gallbladder
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the liver energy opens up into the eyes.
Let me tell you a patient story to illustrate this for you.
MY PATIENT'S STORY
Early on in my practice over 15 years ago I had a patient come to see me who was
complaining of dry eyes. The easy thing to do would have been to give her some of my
magical Mucokehl Isopathic Eye Drops from Germany but that is what lazy doctoring
consists of; treating a symptom with a medication - even if it’s a natural one.
It’s funny we can’t always actually see what is wrong especially when it is affecting our
eyes. Pun intended. Some of the most toxic issues that affect us are unseen -such as
So what did I do for this patient as a thorough and curious physician? I explored all options
even though her dry eyes were relieved by the drops. I still knew we had to get to the root
cause. I focused on getting her hydrated, handling her EMF etiquette, balancing all her
hormones and doing diagnostics on her liver. And it’s a good thing I did…
The two diagnostics I want to talk about here are important for you to know about for
yourself and your loved ones and are not very common.
Bloodwork
It is very common to run liver enzymes in patients. I’m pretty sure all of you if not the
majority of you have at one point in your life had blood run and that included your liver
enzymes. It’s the very basics that most physicians run. Now, if you are found to have
elevated liver enzymes in your blood work that means the inflammation has progressed
beyond mild; that your liver cells are rupturing and spilling enzymes into your
bloodstream. The three main enzymes that are typically checked are SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT
and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP). Her levels of these three markers were actually not
alarming so if I wasn’t thorough I could have declared her liver as healthy. But I’m actually
thinking of changing my middle name to thorough ;)
The marker I checked and what I want all of you to ask your own personal physician to run
was her Serum Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) levels in her blood.
In medical school, they teach us that GGT is only useful to rule out if someone is an
alcoholic and if your patient is trustworthy and says they don’t drink then there is no need
to run it. To me, that is ridiculous because there are so many other reasons for GGT being
elevated and if I had never tested it I would have totally missed her diagnosis of Primary
Biliary Cirrhosis.
GGT is actually a more sensitive and specific indicator of liver dysfunction than serum
alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as well as GPT and ALT. It is often increased when there is too
much alcohol being consumed and it is also increased in all common forms of liver/biliary
dysfunction and is generally increased above SGPT/ALT and SGOT/AST with biliary tree
problems (gallbladder, common bile duct and pancreas), obstructive disease and as I
mentioned before alcoholism. Other less common causes for an increased GGT include
excessive free radical activity, primary biliary cirrhosis (which is what my patient had)
brucellosis, hepatitis, mono, several types of cancer, bacterial and viral infection, parasites,
diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarct,
essential hypertension, influenza, rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, asthma,
myocarditis, and acute and chronic liver dysfunction.
Primary biliary cirrhosis is a serious auto-immune condition that you may not know you
have and that can be missed for years by your physician. I, too, would have never ended up
diagnosing it if I hadn’t been led to this serious liver/gb condition through her eyes!!!
The second diagnostic tool that I want you all to know about is Computerized
Regulation Thermometry.
Often we need to see things happening before they have made their way to the
bloodwork and that is why I use Computerized Regulation Thermometry (CRT). CRT is an
amazing tool for analyzing how the body is regulating itself. Regulation is an expression of
the Autonomic Nervous System. We cannot heal if the body is stuck in Sympathetic
Overdrive. We cannot heal if the body does not know how to respond to stress and adapt
to the various insults it is exposed to on a daily basis. So How does the CRT work???
Take-Home Message
The body is connected and all symptoms are clues as to what the underlying issues are.
Recommended Testing
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there is a cycle of qi around the clock. Each organ
has a correlation with certain time frames. You are most likely familiar with the terms
diurnal and nocturnal. Nocturnal means at night -think of animals such as the bat which is
only active at night. And the diurnal portion of this cycle has to do with the day. But in TCM
each two-hour segment of this cycle is related to a specific organ and its flow of qi. For
example, the time of the lungs is between 3:00-5:00 a.m. This is why many monks wake at
4:00 a.m. to meditate because the lung energy is at its highest during this point. If you
have asthma and you have difficulty breathing during this time frame then it is due to
weakened lung qi. And the liver qi period is from 1:00-3:00 a.m. Do you find yourself
waking up at the same time each night??? I find many of my patients over the years always
talk about waking up and staring at the clock during this exact time from. Not only does
this mean there is an issue with your sleep but it means there is an issue with your liver
energy that must be addressed.
Back to the liver. During the hours of 1:00-3:00 a.m. the qi will move inward as it helps to
restore and replenish the body. Remember the liver has so many functions and also helps
to cleanse the blood and facilitate the flow of qi and blood throughout the whole body.
Liver Qi Stagnation can manifest in many ways such as abdominal distention, menstrual
irregularities, joint pain, and anger/depression. Following the liver time, the next 12 hours
are more focused on assimilation, digestion and elimination of food through organs such
as the colon, stomach and spleen. The mid-afternoon slows down as it begins to prepare
for the regeneration that will occur while you sleep. There is also the fact that at the
opposite of 1:00-3:00 a.m. during the 1:00-3:00 p.m. hours when the small intestine is the
most active that the liver energy will be at it’s lowest.
During a 24-hour period, your energy or Qi (pronounced “chee”) moves through the organ
systems in two-hour intervals. Qi draws inward to help restore the body between the hours
of 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. The liver cleanses the blood and performs other functions, such
as getting the blood ready to travel outward into the rest of the body. Over the next 12
hours, Qi cycles through the organs that assimilate, digest and eliminate food through the
body or our diurnal organs. By mid-afternoon, the body begins to slow down again in
preparation for the nocturnal phase. The nocturnal phase is all about restoring and
maintaining. So when one organ system is at its peak, its counterpart, on the opposite side
of the clock is at its lowest point.
HERE’S A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE 24 HOUR QI CYCLE:
This chart can be one of the most important and easy to follow tools to track your
symptoms and see what organ system is related to your issues allowing you to get to the
root cause of your dis-ease.
For example, in a perfect world, a great time to support your liver when it is at its lowest
would be during 1-3pm with castor oil packs. Of course do the best you can at a time that
fits best with your lifestyle.
Here are the instructions I hand out to patients directly in my practice.
Heat the castor oil on the stove in 1. Castor oil- cold pressed is preferred over refined
The saturated cloth will be placed directly on the skin on the area of the body Dr. Stills has
recommended. Be sure to cover the treated area entirely with the flannel cloth.
Place the parchment paper on top. Then place a low EMF heating pad or hot water bottle
over the top of the parchment paper - if using the heating pad use a high setting but not
so high as to cause burning. The heat will promote absorption of the oil and soothe the
intestines. This is generally left in place for approximately one hour. You can read, watch tv,
listen to music, meditate, etc. Place a bath towel underneath you to avoid any staining the
oil may cause.
Always check with YOUR physician before starting anything new :) Afterwards, the skin can
be cleaned with a solution containing 2 teaspoons of baking soda in one quart of water. Or
you can just let it soak in if you don’t mind being sticky. The flannel itself may be used
repeatedly and can be stored in a plastic bag or container between uses. Replace every 4-6
weeks.
It is best if the packs are used on a cyclical basis with rest periods in between. For example,
4 nights on 3 nights off. If this is not possible then do the best you can do to apply the
treatment as often as possible. Dr. Stills recommends you apply the treatment: 4 nights a
week just as it was channeled originally by Edgar Cayce.
Another important at-home tool you can incorporate is starting your day between 5:00-
7:00 a.m. with a filtered glass of warm water with lemon to encourage cleansing and a
bowel movement. Such a simple thing you can do all on your own that when done
consistently will have profound healing actions on your body.

THE LIVER AND YOUR EMOTIONS
In studying these areas of medicine for years, I have learned how an out of whack liver may
be expressed in individuals from an emotional standpoint. Take a look inside and see if any
of these relate to you:
UNBALANCED LIVER
Do any of these resonate? Do you feel stuck? Unable to find balance or often drift into
anger, depression, emotional dysregulation?
You are not alone. In taking a holistic look at why our body operates, away from the narrow
lens of conventional medicine, we can begin to see how these elements are related.
You are not stuck in a feeling of hopelessness due to a lack of Prozac!
And when we bring the liver into balance, you will manifest these experiences:
BALANCED LIVER
Action orientated
A sense of direction in life
Excelling in planning and organization
Able to break unwanted habits
Ability to guards the body from outside
Feeling and performing at your best
insults aka stronger immune system
Capacity for perspective and ability
to handle criticism
We must look not only at sluggish digestion, skin issues, headache, etc. to discover our liver
is out of balance; we must explore our feelings, thoughts and emotions.
As Socrates claimed "An Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living" - that's a bit harsh, but inner
work is key in outer health.
NOURISHMENT FOR BODY, MIND & SOUL
I’d like to leave you with perhaps one of the most important things in health. Focusing on
nourishment. Of course fresh, organic, greens are one of the most beneficial things you can
eat to support your liver. But nourishment is so much more than what we eat. So I invite
you to pause and inquire within on how you receive nourishment in the following areas:
you can, to continue to perform at your optimal state. By the time you are finished with
this ebook, I know that you will have learned more about your liver than you knew
before and will also be able to institute some of the at home tips to start loving your liver
right away.
