The Liver

LIVER/GALLBLADDER/KIDNEY CLEANSE INTRO

Without an effective waste removal and detox system, your body may become overwhelmed with toxins causing disease. Your liver/gallbladder and kidneys serve as essential organs to the health of the human body when it comes to waste removal, but even further, liver function is required for every cell and tissue in the body to be healthy.

Obstructive intrahepatic cholesterol biliary stones produced and stored by too many toxins over time, inadequate vagus nerve control over the liver due to direct compression at the brainstem, fatty liver disease, and decreased serum magnesium can significantly reduce the liver’s function resulting in a disruption of ‘homeostasis’, leading to dis-ease of every single one of the body’s cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. 

This is akin to having a clogged oil filter and the resulting dysfunction and poor performance of the engine. If there is a dis-ease/disease process anywhere, you can link it back (in part or in full) to: CNS control, neuroendocrine dysfunction, nutrient deficiency, toxicity, oxidative stress, hormone imbalances, and infectious toxicity, and all of that can be linked back to liver dysfunction. 

NORMAL LIVER FUNCTIONS:

1. Metabolize, manufacture, process, build, and break down: carbohydrates, fats/lipids, amino acids, protein molecules, vitamins, nutrients, enzymes, cholesterol, excess hormones, and all of the structural components and transporters etc necessary to rebuild and operate the billions of simultaneous chemical reactions taking place in trillions of cells in our body every day. 
   MUY IMPORTANTE.

2. Recycles iron for red blood cells, hemoglobin and oxygen carrying capacity

3. Store extra sugar and fat, as well as fat soluble vitamins for later use. 

4. Create bile for: fat digestion, transporting toxins/waste for excretion, neutralizing stomach acid as it enters the small intestine, and cleaning out the intestines.

5. Make carrier proteins that transport: 

   1. Triglycerides (energy)

   2. Cholesterol and oxidized cholesterol (antioxidant, cellular membrane repair, hormone production)

   3. Structural components needed for tissue and cellular repair

   4. Thyroid hormones and other hormones, particularly fat soluble ones

   5. Cortisol (stress hormone), aldosterone, progesterone, testosterone, estrogen, androgens, and all steroid based hormones

   6. Fatty acids to the liver

   7. Unconjugated bilirubin

   8. Copper necessary for Iron metabolism and transport

   9. Free hemoglobin released from erythrocytes

   10. Free heme released from hemoglobin

   11. Iron ions in the ferric form (Fe³⁺)

   12. IGF binding protein, carries insulin-like growth factor 1

   13. Major urinary proteins, like urea. 

   14. Vitamins A,D,E, and K 

   15. Calcium

   16. All drugs

6. Makes Hormones responsible for:

   1. Mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids, hepatic gluconeogenesis, and ketogenesis in response to fasting.

   2. Regulating serum/tissue iron levels.

   3. Childhood growth and anabolic/healing/regenerative effects in adults

   4. Production of platelets by the bone marrow

7. Remove the nitrogenous portion of amino acids resulting in urea (to be excreted by kidneys later)

8. Detoxify the blood of alcohol, toxins, chemicals, drugs, etc. 

9. Detoxifies the blood and kills/cleanses the intestines of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and parasites.

10. Facilitates the removal of fat soluble waste/toxins through bile into the colon. 

11. Removal of excess or used hormones from the blood.

12. Breaking down old worn-out cells.

Your liver is a very special organ, however. Even after surgically removing up to 90% of the liver, it can grow back. The liver has a special regenerative property in this sense and is a built in necessity to the health of the entire body. If it gets backed up, everything gets backed up—including waste removal. Imagine never flushing the toilet, how fast that would become a problem. This is happening inside the human body as a product of our lifestyles, and it is affecting every cell and tissue. But, by properly cleaning out your liver through this specific protocol you can expedite the liver’s functions and let it heal entirely, thus expediting the healing and function of all cells and tissues. With this protocol we are going to clean out your filters by destroying and removing the cholesterol bound intrahepatic biliary stones and scheduled fasting, as well as flush the kidneys–safely, directly, and carefully. 

This protocol is an improved version of the Andreas Moritz Flush by replacing the apple juice/malic acid intake with an herb with 10x the power and doesn’t affect the type 2 diabetics and cancer patients who can’t afford the increase in sugar intake. The protocol also sources from better and organic ingredients than what are recommended and has even expanded to create a “mini cleanse” version of this that some people prefer over the shotgun approach.

It is my professional recommendation that this protocol, while entirely safe if performed correctly, be directed specifically at each person based upon their present state of condition and not be taken as a broad brush generalized protocol. For those interested in performing these protocols please become a paid subscriber, submit your driver’s license and a selfie that matches, and send an email to us requesting an intake form for professional paid consultation on health history and what to do specific to you.
