Liver Rescue Flashcards
(32 cards)
Peppermint is great for what?
Peppermint is anti bacteria, not anti viral
What do you do if you get food poisoning
Coconut water ginger water lemon water is very good if you do get food poisoning
Where does your liver out excess fat if it gets overwhelmed? What happens when it does that?
Overwhelmed, the liver distributes some extra fat to the lymphatic system. This protection mechanism for the brain and heart puts the fats in suspension in the lymph fluid, though it’s not all roses. When fats are pumping through the lymphatic system, the immune system weakens and white killer cells can’t battle viruses, bacteria, and toxins as well as needed inside the lymphatic system.
Which organ does insulin come from.
The pancreas, the liver tries to protect it from fat or it will need to release more insulin to keep up
When the liver releases toxins which three location does it release them to?
When the liver lets go, toxins get released to three possible places: the colon (sometimes via the bile and gallbladder), where they’re eliminated through the feces; the kidneys, where they’re eliminated through urine; and, as a last resort, loose in the bloodstream, where they become free radicals. A truly healthy liver, one that’s clean and isn’t struggling, will only send troublemakers to the colon and urine for elimination.
What happens if your liver cannot process all the junk?
It gets released into the blood stream which leads to high blood pressure because the heart needs to work alot harder to suck the blood up
If a doctor points out scar tissue in the liver, why could that be a good thing
As part of its storage system, the liver throws the specific troublemakers that are too dangerous to release in the moment into liver cells such as hepatocytes
For the less aggressive toxins, the liver uses those shapeshifting perime cells to trap them temporarily until it can neutralize and then excrete them, allowing the perime cells to then move along, re-gather, and regroup according to what they’re needed for next.
This is where a doctor may point out scar tissue in your liver, citing it as a bad thing. In fact, that scar tissue, while not ideal for liver function, is better than the alternative
How do antioxidants heal the liver
the liver releases a chemical compound that adheres to the antioxidants. Together, the liver’s chemical formulation and the healing foods’ antioxidants form a hybrid biochemical compound that acts as a softener similar to the one that white blood cells create when needed. The difference is that the white blood cell compound is formulated to enter prison cells and destroy viruses. This antioxidant-based softener performs a rescue operation for hardened, burdened scar tissue and other damaged tissue, membranes, and lobules—in particular, this softener brings life back to scarred, damaged lobule “elves.” Softening hardened adhesions and scar tissue allows new cells to grow, making liver restoration and resurrection possible. This translates to you getting better.
What three common issues originate in the liver
Mystery high blood pressure
type 2 diabetes
seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
What can hot flashes be a symptoms of?
the liver generate heat when it’s got too much sludge to handle. This can translate into symptoms such as hot flashes and a sensation of “running hot,”
What are liver enzymes
liver enzymes are not released solely when the liver is hurt, which explains why you can have elevated liver enzymes with no apparent injury to the liver.
because a toxic buildup of waste escaped the liver and it released enzymes to do their scavenging and cleanup.
As I said, when tests come back showing elevated enzymes, it’s an indication to look more carefully and take better care of our livers, through whatever avenue we choose.
What is the causr of dark spots under the eyes
In truth, this symptom has everything to do with a toxic, dehydrated liver creating toxic, dirty blood. Where the skin is thin under the eyes, it gets dark because the blood flowing through is lacking oxygen and filled with poisons, both from present-day exposure and from the troublemakers we inherit through our family lines.
How is aching joints related to the liver
When the blood becomes thick and filled with an overflow of poisons from a dysfunctional liver for far too long, it carries a poisonous load—that is, it’s dirty blood. As a result, waste can settle in different areas of your body. The joints are one such place, because as with Raynaud’s syndrome, the joints in farther-reaching points of your body are naturally places of lower circulation.
What can be the cause of spidery veins
What really happens when someone develops varicose or spider veins is that their blood has become chronically dehydrated and chronically thick over the years. You’ll hear doctors and nurses report times they went to draw blood from a patient and it was so thick that when they removed the needle, the blood strung along with it like molasses or a length of yarn. That’s the extreme of chronically thick blood.
Less water in the blood means the heart must work harder to bring up soupy, toxic, dehydrated blood from the lower extremities, and this increased suction pulls the walls of the veins inward, which makes the movement of blood slower. Slow-moving blood makes the heart work even harder, which in turn puts the brain on alert. To alleviate the heart’s strain, the brain calls out for increased blood flow. In response, certain proteins, enzymes, and hormones that are undiscovered by medical research and science start cell production in order to broaden pathways for blood. This spurs the expansion of existing veins and the growth of new ones, in what’s almost a mutation of your blood vessels. That’s when you see those varicose and spider veins appear.
Why do old injuries never heal?
Virus cells will also go after weak spots, which is how you can find yourself with an old injury that either won’t heal or flares up for no apparent reason.
How can waking up at night be a liver issue
In the middle of every night, your liver wakes up, usually crankily, to start working for you, so that in the morning you can cleanse what it’s collected through your urine or bowel movements. As your liver begins to fire up to perform this job, it can go into a subtle spasm because of all the toxic matter it has to deal with, both from within itself and from the dirty blood flowing back into it. That spasm can even squeeze some of the poisons it contains back into your blood in unpackaged form, making it dirtier. While it’s not a spasm you can feel, the liver’s bubble and squeak creates enough of a disturbance in the body that it can wake you up in the wee hours.
How is weight gain related to the liver
When someone is able to keep her or his weight down naturally for an entire lifetime, it’s because the liver never got pushed over the edge.
For those who never struggle with their weight, the poisons they inherited through their bloodline were at lower levels than for the rest of us.
Why are pregnant women so hungry
The truth is that overwhelming hunger during pregnancy is because a pregnant woman’s liver needs an abundance of natural sugars to build up more glucose and glycogen stores in order to protect and feed her baby’s liver while it’s in the process of developing. A baby’s liver depends greatly on her or his mother’s liver condition
Whats the cause of mystery or chronic hunger
Why do people going through an emotional crisis not want to eat?
If someone is underweight or at a normal weight and constantly hungry, there’s a good chance that excess adrenaline is contributing to it. Rushes of adrenaline, whether from demanding schedules, emotional challenges, or going hours without eating, saturate the liver and hinder its ability to build up glucose reserves, essentially starving the liver lobules that are working hard and in need of fuel.
Going for half the day without eating is not a way to prove your worth and conquer hunger; it’s a way to make yourself hungrier in both the moment and the long term. When you don’t eat often enough, your blood sugar drops, and without glucose reserves your adrenals pump out excess adrenaline to compensate. Your liver is forced to soak up the excess adrenaline, and by the time you finally eat, your liver is too saturated to hold on to the glucose it needs. Even if you fill your belly, you may never feel full, or if you do in the moment, the hunger is going to nag again soon.
It’s common that people going through an emotional crisis like the loss of a loved one or a breakup will stop eating and find food is the last thing on their minds as adrenaline consumes them in their pain, sorrow, and suffering.
How long do pork Fats take to dispense in the blood stream? How about other animal fats? Plant fats?
Typically, the fat from pork products takes about 12 to 16 hours to disperse after eating, other animal products’ fats take 3 to 6 hours, and plant fats take 1 to 3 hours.
Why would the liver crave alcohol and how does it lead to addition?
The person who avoids eating carbs yet relies on nightly wine is drawn to that wine because it’s the liver’s shot at grabbing glucose. Since the alcohol prevents the liver from absorbing the sugar, the glucose reserves never actually get refilled, and so the liver sends that craving again the next day.
Eat often (every one and a half to two hours) and eat well, with the goal of replenishing your glucose and glycogen reserves.
How does a healthy liver stop again?
The most profound anti-aging function is your liver’s ability to take an antioxidant it either has stored or is using fresh from the most important source that exists, fruit; bond it with amino acids it’s been storing; and then send these new, improved phytochemical compounds into your sea of blood on a targeted mission: to stop healthy cells from dying.
When DNA weakens, wears down, frays, or becomes injured—which science mistakes for mutation—it’s a signal that the liver is losing its strength to keep us young. The very chemical function that our livers possess to keep our cells from dying is the same antioxidant chemical compound that keeps our DNA from becoming weakened or frayed.
How is diabetes related to the liver
With a sluggish liver, the liver cannot offer glucose between meals to keep the blood stable, the pancreas feels the pressure and loses its stability, forced to fluctuate to highs and lows in its insulin production. Those highs happen when the pancreas sends out insulin to seek out every morsel of sugar it can to push it into cells of the body. Elevated fats in the bloodstream make this job much harder if not impossible. As a result, the pancreas weakens, insulin production lessens, and insulin resistance hits a crisis point. Blood sugar will become unstable. That’s when hypoglycemia can occur, or when your doctor will observe A1C levels off the charts and label you with prediabetes,
Sugar isn’t the real culprit with diabetes; the culprit is fat. Sugar simply reveals the problem,
When the blood is filled with fat, it by default blocks sugar from having direct access to the organs, glands, and nervous system, including the brain. Fat in the blood makes it very difficult for the hormone insulin to attach to sugar and then speak to tissue cells to open up and receive that sugar so it can perform its critical, sustaining role as fuel to keep us alive.
Medical research and science have not yet discovered this process of mineral salts helping to drive glucose into our cells more efficiently, with the least possible resistance, and yet it’s vital.
One of the reasons that exercise is so helpful for controlling diabetes and prediabetes is because it burns up fat calories and improves circulation, bringing more oxygen into the blood and driving that oxygen into the liver.
Whats the issue with statins?
Statins take free-floating cholesterols that wouldn’t normally bind to the walls of the cardiovascular system and force them to mix with radical fat, combining to create plaque there, bringing you closer to heart disease.
