It is not "fate" that decides who gets sick and who doesn't! In today's
unhealthy environment where, according to the EPA, even drinking water contains
over 700 chemicals including lead, our exposure to harmful substances has
escalated to incalculable levels. Our "liver filter," the sinusoidal system, is
easily overloaded under such conditions.
Modern medicine and unhealthy diet programs promulgated by members of the
medical profession exacerbate the situation. Consider the following:
Over the counter Painkillers are the Leading Cause of Liver Failure!
Acetaminophen products, like Tylenol, are responsible for tens of
thousands of liver poisonings a year, with hundreds of fatalities. A recent
three-year study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine looked at 308
patients with acute liver failure from 17 different liver care centers and
determined that acetaminophen accounted for 39% of cases.30
Swiss researchers report that NSAID (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) pain
medications are probably killing 2,000 patients each year in the UK (Great
Britain) and suggest that one in 1,000 patients who take these drugs for at
least two years will die from them.31
High Protein Diets can lead to Mental Confusion.
Too much daily protein may cause hepatic encephalopathy (mental confusion)
according to the Hepatitis Foundation. This occurs when the amount of
dietary protein is greater than the liver's ability to use it. This results in a
build-up of toxins that can interfere with brain function. Diet plans, such as
the Atkins Diet, can cause weight loss in individuals, however, the down
side the individual pays for this weight reduction is never stated!
Thanks to modern OTC pain relievers and governmental failure to regulate today's
industrial and agri-business practices which poison our soil, air, and water,
twenty-five million (25,000,000) Americans are or have been affected with liver
disease.32
Nearly 20 years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that up
to 20% of all deaths in America were due to pollutants and environmental
hazards.33 Since then, environmental conditions have deteriorated!
Titan Laboratories most current research indicates a simple Three Step protocol
is necessary to achieve maximum liver detoxification:
Step One: Proper assimilation of food and gastrointestinal support.
Liver dysfunction begins with digestive problems caused by enzyme depletion. The
pancreas is the major producer of digestive enzymes and is the first organ to be
overwhelmed by toxins. Fats are the most difficult foods to be broken down by
pancreatic enzymes which is why "fatty liver" affects more than 50% of people
over the age of 50!
Factor Seven: Digestin complements the body's enzyme production and
ameliorates stress to the pancreas and liver. Enzyme supplementation is
therefore recommended as an important adjunct to liver detoxification.
Step Two: There are two major detoxification pathways inside the liver, Phase I
and Phase II.
Phase I detox pathway is known as
the Cyto-chrome P-450 monooxygenase system and is the body's way
of transforming non-polar, non-water soluble toxins into less harmful compounds
in preparation for Phase II. During this process free radicals are produced
which can damage the liver cells. Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E,
natural carotenoids, and the B complex group, reduce such damage. If sufficient
antioxidants are lacking, the liver becomes stressed and Phase I detox is
jeopardized.
Factor One: Bio-Immunizer is a powerful antioxidant which compliments the
antioxidant compounds found in Factor Nine: Liverzyne for those patients
who show symptoms of liver stress or who work in high risk environments.
Phase II detox is known as the
conjugation pathway in which water soluble chemicals are ready to be turned
into excretable substances. It is here that the selected herbs and natural
sulphur compounds and enzymes formulated in Factor Nine: Liverzyne
facilitate the Phase II detox process.
Step Three. The liver takes fat in
the form of cholesterol and pumps it via the bile into the intestines where it
will be eliminated provided the diet has sufficient fiber - an intake of
40 to 50 grams per day. (Most American diets are 20 grams per day!)
Patients suffering from liver dysfunction usually
have difficulty metabolizing fats and have high cholesterol levels. If bodily
waste cannot be efficiently eliminated, an accumulation of toxins will build up
in the lymph, blood stream, and intestines. It is therefore important that a
fiber based supplement such as Factor eight: Natura Cleanse, be incorporated
into the liver detox protocol if the patient's diet is high in fat and fried
foods and/or low in vegetables and fruits.
Factor Eight: Natura Cleanse is a fiber-based
detoxification and intestinal rejuvenator containing Plantain mucilage,
one of the best cholesterol lowering fibers available, and Fenugreek seed,
proven to stimulate liver function and pancreatic secretion.
We caution against fasting for any patient
diagnosed with "fatty or sluggish liver." Fasting is an extreme and temporary
method of cleansing the body and can cause acute side effects. The liver,
like any filter, needs to be cleansed regularly and it is easier to do so on a
daily basis. This is easily and pleasantly achieved by adhering to the simple
three step protocol above.
