LIVER AND GALL BLADDER

A healthy liver produces bile. The gall bladder is like a small balloon that stores the bile and squeezes it into the intestines in order to help break down fat and cholesterol. The liver also detoxifies the blood through a series of complicated biochemical reactions called Phase 1 and Phase 2 pathways. In order to keep things simple, though, we will look at the liver as an organ that filters the blood of the entire body in a way that is similar to the way that an oil filter cleans the dirty oil that circulates throughout the engine of a car. Pollution, environmental toxins, medications, alcohol, and junk food over work the liver, causing it to get clogged. As the sluggish liver becomes less effective in dealing with fat and sugar and with detoxification, a cascade of unhealthy adaptations occur that affect blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other systems. The colon becomes backed up with waste and the kidneys, skin, and mucous membranes like the sinuses take on the extra load of eliminating the body of toxins. The joints may eventually become arthritic. The bile becomes thick, like cream, and becomes more difficult to secrete through the gall bladder. Foods high in Sulfur, such as broccoli, onions, brussels sprouts, beets, peppers, garlic, and spanish black radishes are extremely beneficial. SEE: INDIGESTION
