We can only last up to 24 hours without liver function. The liver has many functions. It produces substances that break down fats, makes certain amino acids, filters harmful substances from the blood and it stores of vitamins and minerals.
Our livers are vital.
I have always assumed that gallstones occur in the gallbladder. But I just learnt that this is not the case. Most gallstones are actually formed in the liver.
It is estimated that one billion people in the world will suffer gall bladder disease at some stage in their life.
In the United States, 20 million adults suffer from attacks of gallstones every year.
To avoid unnecessary pain and surgery it might be a good idea to try to flush out the stones before they cause too much damage.
Check out this video on liver flush. It’s funny, disgusting and scary.

Is ADF the Answer?
August 12, 2008 by Carolin · Leave a Comment
Have the popularity of detox gone too far?
In UK a 52-year-old mother received more than £800,000 after suffering permanent brain damage while on a detox diet that instructed her to reduce her salt intake and consume large amounts of water.
Long extreme detox plans are not only potentially dangerous, they are also very hard to stick to.
That is where the ADF or Alternate-Day Fast comes in.
Fasting one day and then eating normal the next.
The ADF is much easier to stick to and you can still go about your social life as usual during the days when you are not fasting. But is it effective?
A study on mice showed that even eating half the food every other day and normal amounts the next gave a fat cell loss of 35%.

3 ways to detox your hair
You probably never thought about it but your shampoo is very likely to contain silicone derivatives.
The Good thing is that silicone derivatives adds luster and sheen to your hair.
The Bad thing is that they cause tumor in lungs and thorax.
How they work
Silicone derivatives are use in 99% of the shampoos on the market today. They make the hair look shiny as they coat the hair in a plastic like rap. This might feel ok until you learn that the same plastic coat causes cancer when it is put on lab rats.
The problem
The answer is of course to start using a pure, natural shampoo without these toxins. But we then run in to a problem. If you change to a good shampoo your hair will detoxify.
It will become dry, knotty and literally feel like a birds nest. This happens when the coat is released from the hair unevenly. The natural detox process can take weeks but you can speed up the process.
How to detox your hair
There are 3 easy ways to do this
- Detox bath. Fill up the bath tub and add
1 cup sea salt
1 cup Apple cider vinegar
2 cups of baking soda
Lie down in the tub and let your hair swish around.- Wash your hair in a paste of shampoo and baking soda
- Wash your hair in a paste of shampoo and purifying clay mask
After wards
Then you’re done you will have naturally healthy hair. Now you are all set to start using natural hair care products which do not cause cancer, dandruff and allergic reactions.

How to know if You Need a Colon Cleanse
No matter where I turn the message is there:
The foundation of health begins in our digestive system.
For me the idea that a lot of our undigested food gets stuck in our intestines is revolting. Our intestine gets thicker and thicker while the canal where the food passes gets smaller and smaller.
But how can I know just how good or bad MY digestive system is working?
It is very easy. Chances are fair that you have all you need at home and can get started in about 30 sec. Basically as soon as you’ve finished reading this post.
Simply do this:Grab a handful of shelled sunflower seeds and swallow them with as little chewing as possible.
Now all you have to do is look out for when then seeds come out in the other end.
If the seeds show up in up to 12 hours you’re in pretty good shape. But if it is more maybe even several days. Well, then you know you need to do something about it.
Remember to keep looking for a couple of days because it might be that some show up after 12 hours but that some take several days to pass.

How to Detox an Unhealthy Meal
February 7, 2008 by Carolin · Leave a Comment
Can a single meal be dangerous?
According to TIME magazine it takes only one high-fat, high-sugar meal can trigger a biochemical cascade, causing inflammation of blood vessels and immediate, detrimental changes to the nervous system.
Sounds pretty scary. Does this mean that we ALWAYS have to watch out with EVERYTHING we eat?
Of course not. I want to live a long healthy life and I’m really conscious about what I eat but still I’m only human.
I believe in the 80 / 20 rule.
If you eat healthy 80 percent of the time you can eat unhealthy the other 20. Read more
