Xandria's Liver Cleanse - The
Liver Detox Plan
You will find in the Liver Detox Plan that there are many suggestions that will
reduce your risk of getting gallstones and related problems.
If you have had your gall bladder removed you should still consider the suggestions given, for several reasons.
First your liver still does have to produce bile and second, some people find that, almost as if in compensation
for the missing bladder, pouches develop in which bile can accumulate and new stones can form. If you had your gall
bladder removed but still get some of your old symptoms, then clearly your liver and digestion still need some
attention.
So far we have covered the digestive tract, let's now look at the role of your liver in processing the food you
have eaten.
The Liver And Protein
Let's take one example. You eat protein, chicken protein for instance.
In the digestive tract it is broken down into individual amino acids. These amino acids go to the liver where they
are recombined in a form that is suitable for the human body, into a human protein.
This may be in the form of tissue proteins, needed for your muscles,
organs such as your heart and kidneys, blood vessel walls and so forth. It may be proteins such as the
immunoglobulins that are part of your immune system, or proteins that are part of your endocrine system, protein
hormones, such as insulin that affects your blood sugar level, glucagon that affects sugar levels and energy, or
calcitonin that affects bone calcium levels.
Or the amino acids may be used to make amino acid derivatives that act as neuro-transmitters such as serotonin, or
hormones such as thyroxine or adrenaline.
Not only that, but if there is too much of one type of amino acid and not
enough of another then your liver can convert the spare amounts of the first amino acid into the required amount of
some types of the partially deficient ones.
The Liver And Hormones
Imbalances of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone can cause a variety of
problems including PMT, difficult periods and menopause, and sexual dysfunction.
