Thanks . I haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet

but wanted to let you know I received it. I am so glad you are doing

well. We hadn't heard from you as often and I was a little concerned.

Make sure you send out a picture when that little one arrives.

YAY!! Here is the information on the liver cleanse and rebuilding

program. Lemons, bitter herbs, dandilion, milk thistle are very good

for your liver. Try to get some tea from health food store, and put

some lemon in it. Drink daily.

I saw a doctor today for the cold feeling, hair loss and sleeplessness. She

ordered a kidney CT and a thyroid uptake and scan??? I am pretty sure for some

reason she ordered the CT because I asked about my adrenals. I am not sure why

she ordered the uptake and scan. Wouldn't the blood antibody tests show why my

thyroid is enlarged?

The uptake and scan looks like it could suck so I would rather not do it - six

weeks off my Armour (I am an addict, shhhh). Purposely going into hypo

hell...then downing something radioactive...hum, I think not. If I could get

her on the phone (to no avail) I would have the answer, but in the absence of

her words, I wanted your advice. I am sure you all will have a lot to say about

the CT and uptake/scan.

Hi Nancie and Venizia,

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Thanks for your email. Yes, the pregnancy is

going well. I am finally over morning sickness. YAY!! Here is the information on

the liver cleanse and rebuilding program. Lemons, bitter herbs, dandilion, milk

thistle are very good for your liver. Try to get some tea from health food

store, and put some lemon in it. Drink daily.

Blessings,

Milk Thistle (Silymarin)

Take one capsule of the herb milk thistle after each meal. Milk thistle contains

some of the most potent liver-cleansing compounds known. Silymarin, the most

active ingredient in milk thistle, enhances liver function. It has excellent

antioxidant properties that help prevent damage to the liver.

Liver Detox

How to Treat Your Liver Right

The liver has many functions, but the one I will concentrate on is its ability

to neutralize toxins we eat. The liver is responsible for making sure that

nutrients reach your cells and blood is free of toxins and pathogens. It does

this by moving these contaminates out through your 5 channels of elimination -

kidneys, lungs, colon, lymphatic system, and skin.

Of course, when these 5 channels become toxic, sluggish, or blocked, the liver

itself becomes toxic and sluggish. This causes the liver to become inefficient,

which leads to an unhealthy body.

Sluggish Liver As the liver loses its ability to detoxify toxins, you will

exhibit a variety of symptoms and various illnesses - constipation, high

cholesterol, irritable bowel, asthma, skin rashes, high blood sugar, allergies.

Other conditions related to a sluggish liver are:

* High blood pressure

* abdominal bloating

* pot belly, weight gain, cellulite

* elevated cholesterol

* brownish spots on your skin

* acne, pimples, eczema

* hot flashes, irritability, depression

* chronic fatigue syndrome

The liver is most affected by the foods we eat. What is especially deadly is

eating food products that have " Hydrogenated Oils " , which contain trans-fatty

acids. The liver sees trans-fatty acids as a toxin and not as a nutrient. At

least 40% of all the fat that you consume or more, if you eat junk food,

contains hydrogenated oils :

Trans-fatty acids are deadlier than regular animal fat. Trans-fatty acids are

associated with heart disease, breast cancer, and diabetes.

What a good liver does

The more junk food you eat the more you overload your liver. Its ability to

process and create the nutrients that you need is hampered. Its ability to

process and utilize fat is reduced.

If your liver is sluggish and overworked, it will store the fats you eat within

its own cells, within the cells of your body and especially around your mid

drift.

When your liver is working properly, some fats are eliminated through bile and

out through fecal matter. If you eat plenty of fiber, this fat is absorbed by

the fiber and held there until you have a bowel movement. If you do not eat

enough fiber, this fat can be reabsorbed by the colon walls and routed back to

the liver to be reprocessed.

So now you can see how important is it to reduce, from all sources, the amount

of toxins that get into your body and to eat plenty of fiber.

Rejuvenating your liver

So what will it take to rejuvenate your liver so that it is not sluggish, not

toxic, and functions like it should to help you maintain your weight?

There are three things that you need to do. These things take a lot of work. You

have to be motivated to do them. Getting your liver back to health will takes

some time since you need to remove the toxins from your liver slowly otherwise

you will have side effects.

* Eat liver friendly foods

* Cleanse the liver

* Strengthen the liver

Eat liver friendly foods:

Prepare a liquid green drink for your liver first thing in the morning.

* squeeze the juice of one lemon into a glass

* add one tablespoon of chlorophyll

* add one tablespoon of aloe vera drink

* add 8 oz of distilled water

This drink helps to regenerate the liver.

* The lemon helps your liver regenerate and produce bile (healthy bile is

necessary for breaking down fat so that fats can be absorbed properly into the

liver.)

* Chlorophyll helps to detoxify your colon so fewer toxins get into the liver.

* The lemon and aloe vera help stimulate bowel movements.

The liver needs plenty of minerals. As you know minerals are obtained from

fruits and vegetables. Once a day try to drink a vegetable juice. A juice that I

enjoy is:

* Carrots

* Celery

* Apples

If you can't make your own juices, buy bottled. It is better to drink these than

to not drink any vegetable juices at all.

Here are some foods to add to your eating habits. These foods are liver friendly

and will help liver to get rid of its toxic condition and regenerate itself.

* beets, asparagus, broccoli,

* green and red cabbage, brussels sprouts

* carrots, squash, okra

* collard greens, mustard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, arugula

* cauliflower

* green beans

* peas

* tomatoes

* spinach

* potatoes, yams, avocado

* onions, garlic, ginger, bell peppers, olives, radishes

* eggs - two a day

* flax seed oil - two tablespoons a day

* olive oil

* apples, grapefruits, oranges, plums, cherries, peach, berries

* cranberry juice

* sesame seeds, cashews, almonds

* pumping, papaya, mangoes

* all lettuces except iceberg

* brown rice

* chicken, fish

* all legumes, sprouts of all types

* almond milk, oat milk, rice milk, distilled water

* honey, maple syrup

Herbs to use as seasonings:

* basil, bay leaves, caraway,

* rosemary, dill, parsley, thyme

* oregano, tarragon, chives, cardamom

Add some of these foods, if you are not already eating them, to your eating

habits and in next article, I will give you some herbal formulas for teas that

you can drink daily for good liver function.

Also, here is a very good liver cleansing drink from Dr. Schulze that both my

hubby and i have done, that has seriously helped me us a lot! You can order from

him here, or forget his products all together and just do the liver flush with

the lemons, garlic, ginger, orange juice, and water. I have just done the liver

flush without using his teas or tinctures, and have found good results.

Liver Five-day Cleansing and Detoxification Program

---------------------------------

Index

Liver Five-day Cleansing and Detoxification Program 2 Days of a Purifying

Raw-Food Program and a 3-Day Juice Fast

---------------------------------

IMPORTANT NOTICE: You must complete the 2-week bowel detoxification and

rebuilding program using Intestinal Corrective Formulae #1 and #2, and CONTINUE

taking #1 & #2, while completing this program. Then you may either do this 5-day

Liver Cleanse, or the 5-day Kidney Cleanse. Or you may do both! The liver

usually is detoxified before the kidneys, but you may reverse this if desired.

Day 1: Upon arising drink 8 ounces of distilled water

Breakfast: This is a great way to start your day. The water rinses and flushes

your digestive tract of any leftover food and digestive juices. Within 1 hour

prepare for the following Morning Drink: Morning Drink (Liver & Gallbladder

Flush ) (Mix in a Blender) (in Spring and Summer ) 8 ounces of fresh orange

juice or a citrus juice combination (1 lemon or 1 lime and enough orange,

grapefruit or tangerine to make 8 ounces) or (in Fall and Winter ) 8 ounces of

fresh apple and/or grape juice

8 ounces of Distilled Water

1-5 clove(s) of garlic (start with one and increase daily)

1-5 tablespoon(s) of organic virgin cold-pressed olive oil (start with one and

increase daily )

1 small piece of fresh Ginger Root (about 1 inch long)

15 minutes after this drink, consume 2 cups of Detoxification Tea. Consume 2

dropperfuls of Liver/Gallbladder - Anti-Parasite tonic 4 times daily during this

cleanse. Take in a few ounces of water. It should be quite bitter.

Day #1 Breakfast

Live, FRESH fruit or vegetable juice is the best way to get your Vitamins,

Minerals and other Essential Nutrients. They are also very important for

cleansing and detoxification. If you are hungry before lunch time you may have

fruit, diluted fruit juices, and fruit smoothies. Stop all fruit or fruit juices

at least 1 hour before lunch. It is best while on this program not to mix fruit

and vegetables together.

Day #1 Lunch

For lunch you can have diluted fresh raw vegetable juices, raw vegetables alone

or in salads, sprouts, potassium broth, and herb teas. You may make dressings

for the salad if you like using Olive oil, Avocado, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar,

Lemon Juice, Garlic, Onions and any Herbs and Spices.

Afternoon Snacks: Raw vegetables, raw vegetable salads, diluted vegetable

juices, sprouts, potassium broth and herb teas. All vegetable food must be

stopped by 6 p.m.

Day #1 Dinner

Diluted fruit juices, fruits, fruit smoothies, fruit salads and herb teas.

Day #2, #3 and #4 Now we begin the 3 day fast. Start with your water, morning

flush drink and herbal tea. Diluted fruit juices and herb tea until noon,

diluted vegetable juices, Potassium Broth and herb tea mid-day and afternoon and

diluted fruit juices and herb tea again in the evening. Consume at least 1

gallon (128 ounces) of liquid. That is 8 ounces every hour! If you get hungry,

DRINK MORE!!!

Potassium Broth Recipe

This is a great-tasting addition to your cleansing program. It will flush your

system of toxins, poisons and unwanted salts and acids while giving you a

concentrated amount of vitamins and minerals.

Fill a large pot with 25% potato peelings, 25% carrot peelings and whole chopped

beets, 25% chopped on-ions including 50 cloves of garlic , 25% celery and dark

greens. Add hot peppers to taste. Add enough distilled water to cover vegetables

and simmer on very low temperature for 1-2 hours. Strain, or just dip your mug

in, and drink only the broth. Put the vegetables in your compost. Make enough

for two days, refrigerating the leftover broth. It is important to use Organic

vegetables. We do not want to consume any toxic insecticides, pesticides or

inorganic chemical fertilizers while we are on a cleansing and detoxification

program.

Day #5:

Today is the day to break your fast. Make this day the same as day #1.

Continuation of the fast with your morning drink and then you can have some

fresh fruit. Chew it very slowly and mix each mouthful with plenty of saliva.

Remember, breaking your fast is a very important part of this program. Chew your

food well and eat until satisfied, not full. You can always eat more later if

you are still hungry.

After 1:00 PM you may have a small vegetable salad, and fruit again in the

evening, chewing everything to a liquid pulp. Remember, this program restricts

the types of food you will be eating, not the amount. If you are hungry at any

point during this detoxification program, drink and/or eat more. The more you

eat and drink, the more you will flush the toxins out of your body. Also

remember to have a fun time. Your positive, healing attitude is most important

to achieve maximum benefits out of this program; be loving to yourself. Take it

easy when returning to a new healthy food program. Choose lighter foods for a

few days and be careful not to overeat. Chew your food well. Eating smaller

meals more often is better than one or two large meals. Enjoy your new set of

values on food choices and amounts. For the best health, become a vegetarian.

Repeat this program until you are well but do it at least once every 3 months.
