LIVER CLEANSE TIME
4 April 2010
It is time to Cleanse that Liver. We traditionally cleanse the liver in the Spring and the Fall. Email me for your Liver Cleanse Instruction sheet, or come by the office and pick up your supplies for doing the Cleanse.
Hello Dr. Travis,
I want to thank you for blogging alternative health care.
Can you tell me if everyone needs to cleanse their liver, and what symptoms would be present that would indicate a need for the Liver Cleanse.
I heard that the allergies that come with springtime could be somehow related to the condition of the liver. Would a liver cleanse help with hay fever symptoms.
Hello Giles,
Thanks for your question regarding the need for a Liver Cleanse. The Liver has 960 plus functions in our bodies. Just to name a few, it cleanses the blood, it regulates the levels of all the hormones on our bodies and it converts hormones from inactive forms to active forms and vis versa.
If the liver function is sluggish, then it can’t perform all of it’s functions efficiently. So some of the non-life threatening allergens do not get removed from the blood. Some of these allergens can cause the hay fever symptoms. So Yes, it does appear to be related to the function of the liver.
However, having said that, I do not mean to imply that the liver is damaged, but merely that it is not functioning at its optimum efficiency.
And One should always consult with their treating physician regarding any cleansing program and/or if you feel that you have a medical condition.
Spring cleaning – thanks for the reminder! I love talking about Liver Cleasing with my friends- always gets a reaction.
Thanks mnwillow,
We all need reminding!
