WITHOUT YOUR FAITH, IT’S HARD TO HAVE A HEALTHY LIVER 

The liver, a vital yet often neglected organ, plays a central role in our survival. However, it is vulnerable to many enemies, with excessive and rapid alcohol consumption being the most formidable. Resilient, the liver performs its functions without complaint, even when severely damaged – up to two-thirds of its structure can be compromised before it falters. Silent, it often shows little to no symptoms, leading many to overlook its problems.

​

A Life Artisan with 2,000 Functions 
The liver is a metabolic factory. It transforms proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and vitamins into energy to fuel the body. It supports digestion by producing bile, purifies the blood, neutralizes toxins (alcohol, drugs, chemicals), regulates glucose to keep the mind sharp and the body active, stores and exports fats, produces essential proteins (for clotting, immunity, and blood transport), balances hormones (sexual, thyroid, adrenal), manages cholesterol, and ensures an optimal supply of vitamins and minerals like iron or copper.

Taking care of your liver offers numerous benefits: rejuvenated skin, easier weight loss, better nutrient assimilation, purified blood and lymphatic system, reduced accumulated fat, and support for the adrenal glands, which are essential for hormone production.

A Liver in Distress: Warning Signs
Waking up between 3 and 4 a.m. may indicate that your liver needs detoxification. Disease often arises when the body is overwhelmed by toxins – waste from digestion or the breakdown of nitrogenous bases (found in DNA and RNA). The body then struggles to restore balance, sometimes influenced by emotional factors. Our modern lifestyle (pollution, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, electromagnetic waves, sedentary habits, chronic stress) exacerbates this overload.

​

Key Roles of the Liver

• Detoxification: Elimination of toxic substances via bile or the kidneys.

• Metabolism: Storage and distribution of nutrients, synthesis of blood proteins.

• Immunity: Strengthening natural defenses.

• Hormonal and Circulatory Balance: Regulation of micro- and macronutrients (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates).

​

Benefits of Energy Healing
A healthy liver promotes emotional management, letting go, improved digestion, blood purification, an alert brain, and strengthened immunity.

Milk Thistle, the Liver’s Ally
This plant supports detoxification by protecting liver cells from toxins (alcohol, pollutants, drugs). With its antioxidant properties, it stimulates liver regeneration, neutralizes free radicals, reduces inflammation, and relieves digestive issues related to this organ.

​

When the Liver Suffers
Hepatic steatosis, often linked to chronic alcohol consumption, exemplifies the damage caused by addiction. Symptoms of a sick liver include jaundice, dark urine, pale stools, itching, easy bleeding, chronic fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, liver swelling, or ascites. Treatments like radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy (especially before a stem cell transplant) can also harm it, as can hepatitis, tumors, or major surgery.

​

Signs of an Overloaded Liver
Digestive issues, bad breath, fatigue, headaches, sensitivity to smells, allergies, nighttime awakenings (1-3 a.m.), sweating, pimples, or dark circles signal an urgent need for detoxification.

​

Protecting Your Liver

• Reduce alcohol and drug use.

• Stay hydrated and eat a healthy diet (low in fat, salt, or processed foods).

• Be cautious with medications and chemicals (solvents, insecticides).

• Use protective gear (masks, gloves) and practice safe sex to avoid infections.

Liver and Melatonin: An Unexpected Link
Melatonin, the sleep hormone produced by the pineal gland, is metabolized 90% by the liver. With age, its production declines (up to 40% after age 50), affecting sleep but also the liver’s protection against disease. Studies show that melatonin supplementation improves markers of hepatic steatosis and could prevent various liver conditions while positively influencing the cardiovascular system.
