LIVER DETOX
Why Do We Need A Liver Detox? Our liver is the largest organ in our body. And because it has so many functions, it also means that so much go through it every minute and every second of the day. The liver works as a blood filter to filter toxins, waste products, chemicals, drugs, parasites, etc. Its functions are so many yet we take our liver for granted and not giving it the respect due.
Imagine a fish aquarium ... when the filter is working fine, the water is clean and clear. It's a beautiful and healthy environment for the fishes. We enjoy looking at beautiful aquaria.
Like our liver, the aquarium filter works 24 hours non-stop. It filters fish waste (from excrement and respiration) and ensures that the water is always kept clean and at the right temperature to preserve life. Over time, if/when the filter is neglected (not cleaned), fish wastes and uneaten food begin to clog the filter causing filtration to be ineffective. With time, these unfiltered waste products circulate in the water over and over, and soon it begins to contaminate the water with toxic wastes that contaminate the fishes' environment.
Now the fishes are swimming in contaminated water that is full of bacteria and toxicity from excrement that are being circulated for days or weeks. Soon the fishes begin to be diseased and die and further contaminate the water. At this stage, the filter is too clogged up and filthy to be effective anymore. In fact, it can no longer do its filtration job. The fishes are doomed to die; unless the filter is quickly taken out and given a good blasting and washing. The aquarium needs to be cleaned up, then there might still be a chance that the fishes may survive.
Why Do We Get Sick?
Our liver is like the filter in this aquarium. When our liver is being worked overtime and not given a good cleansing (detox) once in a while, it becomes neglected when we eat and live recklessly. Soon our liver will become so clogged up like the aquarium filter above, no longer able to filter the toxins in our blood. And the toxins keep on circulating in the system, causing contamination and choking all the cells. Is it any wonder then why our cells become diseased and die prematurely? Is it any wonder why cancer happens?
When our blood system reaches this stage due to clogged up liver, it means that our body has become so toxic and acidic (toxic=acidic). It becomes a perfect environment for bacteria and parasites to breed. And they breed by the millions every day, worsening the situation more and more with time.
And by the way, cancer is not something where you can just cut out and remove and you'll be ok. No, cancer is in the blood; it is being circulated. Diseases are in the blood. You cannot cut out this and that organ and expect your body to get well. It is critical to detox your liver so that it can begin to filter the toxins in your blood again properly. Once the blood system is cleaned up, then only can you begin to get well. This is what you mean by getting to the root of the problem, not just treating symptoms.
Getting To The Root Of The Problem Treating symptoms is when you replace the plants in the aquarium hoping that it will clean up the environment. Will it really improve the environment in the aquarium? Probably for a short while but as long as the filter is clogged up, the plants will also eventually die. Do you get the picture? Treating symptoms is when you cut out a part of an organ because it is diseased; when cleaning up the environment is what you need to do. How do you clean up the environment? By getting to the root of the problem, by doing a proper detoxification¾of not just the liver, but also the other detox organs like the colon, lungs, kidneys and the lymphatic system. They are all inter-related. But take one step at a time. You know where you are now.
