Many understand that the liver is the main organ of human detoxification; therefore, they are looking for ways to cleanse the liver. Hundreds of sites and thousands of people are active supporters of liver flushes, mostly with olive oil and lemon juice. Inspired, people find so-called gallbladder stones in their stools. They feel happy. However, not everyone feels so good after that. Some begin to feel pain and cramps in the upper part of the stomach, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, fatigue.
However, most of these post-cleansing reactions after liver phlegm are mild, and people consider them normal. In the worst case, some of them are hospitalized with gallbladder attacks or acute pancreatitis. For years, working in the intensive care unit, I personally observed two fatal cases and many acute inflammations of the pancreas after fasting and flush with olive oil and lemon juice.
This article is not intended for healthy, young liver cleansing enthusiasts; their bodies can stop any flushing of the liver without a reaction. By the way, the author of this article is not against the flush of the liver and gallbladder. He just wants to draw people's attention to health problems, to provide them with safer and milder methods of cleaning the liver, to avoid any complications.
What happens when people go hungry without food and consume large amounts of olive oil and lemon juice? Let's look from a medical point of view. Human cells mainly derive energy from glucose metabolism. People do not have a high storage capacity for carbohydrates. During hunger, the body burns fatty tissue and muscle proteins. Fat burning causes a lot of ketones - very acidic substances that make the body very acidic. It is easy to prove that by measuring the saliva and urine pH by litmus paper. If the pH of saliva and urine is less than 6.6, this may be a sign of the acidity of the whole organism.
Acidity of the whole body is bad for the body functions. Two alkaline digestive glands are most affected. First, the liver, which produces alkaline bile. Secondly, the pancreas, which secretes alkaline pancreatic juice. The acidity of the whole body causes harmful biochemical changes in the pH of pancreatic juice and the possible actions of the digestive enzymes of the pancreas inside the pancreas. Activated pancreatic enzymes begin to digest their own pancreatic tissue, which can lead to pancreatitis.
If bile becomes acidic, it becomes extremely aggressive, irritating and damaging to the gallbladder, bile ducts, the sphincter of Oddi and the duodenum. This can cause spasmodic movements of the smooth muscles of the gallbladder, bile ducts, sphincter of Oddi and the duodenum. A person may feel pain, nausea, vomiting, reflux, when an aggressive mixture of bile and pancreatic juice rises into the stomach or even further into the esophagus. Drinking plenty of pure water or better, Karlovy Vary healing mineral water during fast, is a smart idea to reduce acidification.
A small amount of lemon juice has an alkaline effect. On the contrary, lemon juice in large quantities can have the opposite effect. It can acidify the body, stimulate the production of acid in the stomach and create an acidic environment in the duodenum. Lipase of the pancreas, which digests fat, stops working in an acidic environment; then olive oil will not be digested in the duodenum and may lead to dirich.
Many people know little about bile. The liver uses bile, similar to a garbage truck, which removes fat-soluble toxic substances, heavy metals, drugs, pigments, bile acids, which filter the liver from the blood. Bile is an aggressive fluid with an action like washing detergent that removes fats and oils from our clothes. The liver flow, in fact, is a flush of the gallbladder, because during this procedure nothing comes out of the liver. The liver constantly secretes the bile of the liver, and this process cannot be accelerated by olive oil. Large amounts of olive oil cause a strong contraction of the gallbladder, intensively compressing its contents through the bile ducts and the sphincter of Oddi in the first part of the small intestine-duodenum.
Sharp, uneven contracts of the gallbladder after consuming olive oil cause rapid release of a significant amount of toxic, acidic, irritating bile bile, possibly with bile silt and gallbladder stones into the bile ducts. In predisposed people, this can cause spasms of the sphincter of Oddi, a strategic valve between the gallbladder, bile, pancreatic ducts and the duodenum. Backing up aggressive bile can increase the pressure in the pancreatic canal. Bile can activate digestive enzymes inside the pancreas; thus leading to pancreatitis.
Olive oil is a natural trigger for a strong contraction of the gallbladder. Is this good or bad? For healthy people this can be good. What for? This can reduce gallbladder congestion. Over the past fifty years, fats have had a bad reputation due to false propaganda. The slogan - the absence of fat - the absence of cholesterol, frightens people, prevails from the use of oil, eggs, vegetable oils, which are natural substances that produce bile. Overloaded bile can be a key factor in the gallbladder stone epidemic in the United States.
Actual liver detoxification is a process that can involve many treatment goals. Liver detoxification goals include:
• Increased alkaline bile production
• Easily eliminate this bile
• Reducing the amount of fat in the liver
• Support proper liver cell function
• Reducing the amount of toxins entering the liver, etc.
For the health of the liver and gallbladder, we need some dietary changes. First, we must avoid acid products, such as sugars, red meat, white flour and white rice and alcohol. Second, as a rule, to help eliminate bile, bile sediment, toxic waste and chemicals and small gallbladder stones, we need to eat some raw vegetable oils, such as olive oil, flax seed oil, fish oil, avocado and egg & 39 ; s yolk. Animal fats should be limited. Third, we need to avoid dehydration. Drinking clean water, herbal teas, mineral water Karlovy Vary and eating vegetable soups can do this task.
Let's look at the practice of Europeans. For centuries, doctors in Europe sent their patients with diseases of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas to therapeutic mineral resorts. Drinking healing mineral water is an old healing practice in Europe. The famous healing mineral water - from the thermal spring in Karlovy Vary. Since the demand for this water was high, doctors proposed to evaporate the water in order to get real thermal salt of Karlovy Vary 250 years ago. To get healing water for home use, you just need to dissolve this salt in clean water. The healing mineral water of Karlovy Vary consists of minerals, bicarbonates, trace elements, which are part of the pancreatic juice and bile. This healing mineral water promotes the production of bile, alkalinizes bile and makes it more liquid. It also creates a gentle contraction of the gallbladder while simultaneously opening the sphincter of Oddi; thus helping to safely remove toxic substances, gall sludge and gallbladder stones from the liver and gallbladder.
Herbal remedies are the oldest remedy in the world. Some of the herbs are called hepatic. Hepar is a term meaning liver in Latin. Liver herbs fall into three categories:
1. Cholagogue stimulates the flow of bile
2. Choleretics are plants that support the production of bile and the secretion of the liver.
3. Hepatoprotectors are plants that support liver function and help detoxify.
Many liver herbs have all three actions that overlap each other.
Liver herbs that have a scientific and evidence base are based on barberry, burdock, dandelion, fennel, ginger, corn silk, liquorice, milk thistle, mint, St. John's wort, turmeric, etc.
For people with full-body acid, overweight, digestive problems, diabetes, older age, chronic diseases, etc., Flush with olive oil can be a risky business. These people need gentle methods of cleansing the liver, including dietary changes, herbal remedies, drinking mineral water from Karlovy Vary, restoring friendly intestinal flora with probiotics and colon hydrotherapy, therapeutic exercises and nutritional supplements.
