Liver Trouble and foods to take and avoid



Remedy Description

Liver trouble (cirrhosis and hepatitis)



Hardening, congestion and impairment of liver owing to excess con-

sumption of refined starches (especially white flour), refined sugars,

hydrogenated fats and overcooked meats, and insufficient raw food in

diet; also due to excess use of alcohol and drugs, including nicotine.

Yeast: active yeast is a potent source of B vitamins and pangamic acid, all

of which are vital for liver function and help reduce liver inflammation;



alkalizes the liver and stimulates liver functions; 1 packet of granular

active yeast in a glass of warm water/ twice per day, on empty stomach

only; do not mix with other foods.



Tomato: raw tomato is especially effective in reducing inflammation of

liver due to hepatitis and cirrhosis; best taken for 1-3 days exclusive of

other food, either bulk or raw juice; may be mixed with carrot juice for

flavor and extra therapeutic benefit.



Carrot juice: fresh raw carrot juice is one of the best liver detoxifiers

when

consumed in quantities of 2-3 pints daily. Such dosage sometimes

results in an orange tinge in the skin; contrary to popular belief, this is

not caused by carotene, any more than beets turn you red or spinach

green; the orange tinge is due to toxic bile being purged from the liver

by the mega-dosage of carrot juice; the bloodstream cannot excrete the

bile fast enough through kidneys, so it is purged through skin; when

liver is clean, you won't turn orange, regardless how much carrot juice

you drink.



Slimmer squash: especially rich in sodium, summer squash is an excellent

alkalizing remedy for acidosis of liver and blood due to depressed liver

function. Lightly steamed, no salt or spices.



Other beneficial foods: beets (raw juice or bulk); cabbage; zucchini;

string

beans (bulk or juice); calves liver; raw spinach; sunflower seeds; soy

beans.



Foods to aviud: Deep fat fried food; overcooked meats; refined sugars

and starches; alchohol; drugs; foods with chemical additives and

preservatives.

This remedy can also be used for:
