I keep reading, we all have a sluggish liver, and guess what, they are selling their brand of liver detox herbs or whatever.
I don't believe in liver flushes. Is there a simple way to cleanse the liver? Is just eating well good enough? My parents in their late eighties never did Liver Flushes or cleanses. Although life is more toxic now.
Common sense says it is all hype and marketing, scare mongering to make us buy their products.
However, I used to drink alcohol to excess, so i do worry about my liver and if it is okay. There are tests, but i'm too scared to do them.
The signs of abnormal liver function to name a few, are fatique, poor memory, headaches, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and mood swings, and let face it these could fit a multitude of complaints. I don't get headaches, blood pressure is in ideal range, don't no regarding cholosterol. Memory not too good, and get fatigue but i'm hypothyroid so these go hand in hand.
Do i need a cleanse to make sure, or shall i just continue to improve my diet?

This is a reply to # 1,455,919I also don't do any Liver Cleanses or enemas, I don't believe it is needed. I do take milk thistle supplements sometimes as this helps to support the liver. I have taken Wormwood to get rid of parasites and this did a great job at that, but I only do this once a year, anymore, for me at least, seems excessive.
I think its an individual thing, I hear that some people get great benefit from Liver Cleanses and such like, so I guess its up to the person to try it or not.

The most effective way to cleanse the liver is with the digestive bitters we have been talking about. When these bitter tasting herbs hit the back of the tongue they will stimulate the bitter receptors on the tongue. This in turn stimulates the vagus nerve causing the liver to flush. You only need to taste it for bitters to work, so I recommend half a dropper full with meals. Drink plenty of water throughout the day when using bitters to help flush the toxins.
B vitamins are also extremely important for helping the liver to do its job. You can get these from foods like nutritional yeast, rice bran, oat bran, or seaweeds or you can use supplements.

This is a reply to # 1,455,932I will be starting the bitters as soon as they arrive, I see this as a much gentler way of cleansing than a lot of the other cleansing protocols, its more like getting your liver to do its job more efficiently, rather than trying to do the livers job for it. For the last six or seven months my goal has been to give my body what it needs to function efficiently and produce the needed hormones and enzymes that I need , rather than replacing these things with supplements, unless I had a real deficiency. This has worked remarkably well.

This is a reply to # 1,455,946You should have no problem getting swedish bitters in the UK at a chemist or health shop. I have to order online as I live in a small remote town in Australia and we don't have a health shop.

All bitters will work since it is the bitterness that gives them their properties. But Swedish Bitters do contain harsh stimulant laxatives, so stick to to very small doses.

Will this also help it to heal if there is any damage, with proper nutrition.
I've started to take 'intramax' got everything in it, as a supplement, as 98% digestiable, to get pass the low acid problem,and low assilation of nutrients, it might even solve it if i can absorp the nutrients i need.
Easier to take one capful, then lots of different things that don't work. It might even have bitters, will check the ingredients. This has got some liver support ingredients in it, milk thistle etc. Only took first dose this morning so time will tell on its effectiveness. The trouble is very pricey, but supposed to be very good, but do i need all the stuff in it, i ask myself.
So these bitters also stimulate stomach acid, i believe you said in another post
I will look into the bitters, if there is some in my product, it will be small amount anyway.
I saw a tv programme recently where a guy who was only 26 ate alot of fine foods, pate etc, high fat, and they did a scan and he had alot of fat in his liver. Over a couple of months on the right food, the liver looked alot better, showing much less fat, so just a healthy Diet seems to deal with that issue.
Thanks.

I looked up the ingredients of the Intramax. There is no way I would take it myself. In my opinion whoever designed it had no idea what they were doing. They combined things that just are not compatible such as tannin sources that will bind the other herbs, IP6 that will bind the minerals, enzymes that will digest the fibers raising the sugar content, herbs that will kill the flora bacteria. Then they have a trace mineral complex that contains toxic minerals like nickel, and zeolites, which are aluminum silicates. On top of that they put it in a liquid base, which rapidly breaks down vitamins and herbal compounds from increased oxidation. They also list wormwoods several times, which is neurotoxic, which is not good for a daily basis. I don't recommend DHEA either since it can screw with the hormones. And there is a lot of sugar in it. It is like they just wanted to add as many ingredients as possible with no consideration of safety or interaction.
You are better off with the bitters and some liver support like turmeric, schisandra, or milk thistle seed.

It sounded great, shows how much i know. I better finish the bottle, as it was expensive, and my hubby will moan at me for wasting money lol. At least i don't have to pay that every month for it now.lol
I took 1/2 ounce early this morning, and have a rash on face and neck now. It could be my rosecea flaring up, i just don't know.
You can't take anything either side of it 1/2 an hour for food and drink and up to 2 hours, for other supplements, prescription drugs or whatever, but some stuff stays in the system all day, and if it enhances it that could be dangerous.
I like to take a product called Seredyn occassionly for anxiety, you're probably going to shoot that down in flames too lol. It is herbs, high niacinamide, and mag taurinate, but i find it works a treat. I only take on a as needed basis. I usually take only 2 capsules, but you can take up to 6 a day. It can work for up to 8 hours. I asked the company i got the intramax from if this would be alright to take with this, but the answer was so non-committal.
If i have to worry what i take with it all the time, perhaps it is not for me after all.
I did find some non alcohol bitters. I don't have any alcohol at all. They are not very expensive are they?
Would lemon not work?

This is what I saw listed for ingredients: Kava Kava, 5-HTP, Valerian, GABA, and L-Theanine
I do like kava, recommend 5-HTP often as wella s GABA, and I like theanine (an amino acid derived from green tea). Not a big fan of valerian, but it is ok. It will have the opposite effect in about 5% of people.
I did find some non alcohol bitters. I don't have any alcohol at all. They are not very expensive are they?
No, they are not expensive. The run around $6 to $12.
Would lemon not work?No, lemons are sour, not bitter.

No Kava Kava in Seredyn, unless they have changed the formula recently.- Re: liver cleanse Hveragerthi

Sorry, you are right. I went back and read the link I found under the name. They were listing ingredients that should be looked for in products for anxeity and calming, not what is in Seredyn. So I found a list of ingredients:
Active ingredients: Suntheanine, Passion Flower and Valerian Root .
Nutrients: Niacinamide and Magnesium Taurinate.
Good news is that I still have no problem with the ingredients except again for valerian, which is not really bad. I just don't like the smell of valerian, and like I pointed out some people have an opposite reaction. I do like kava better than valerian.

I agree with you regarding the Valarian. Valarien on its own makes me sleepy, i'd rather they left that out. Probably okay in a nighttime sleep product but not for daytime.
I did try buying the ingredients seperately once, suntheanine, niacinamide and mag taurinate, but it didn't seem to work the same. I don't know why. Perhaps the herbs do contribute.
It really does work extremely well. Why do people take nasty prescription drugs that are highly addictive when they can take something like Seredyn.
I got accused of trying to promote it on an anxiety forum once, not cure zone. I then realized although it had a natural/Alternative section, it was mainly advocating drugs.
Some of the people were on lots of different prescription drugs. Personally I think it is criminal when there are natural alternatives out there.

This is a reply to # 1,456,596Yeah the trick is to find something that CALMS THE NERVES without putting you to sleep!
Valarian does nothing for me.
I have tried many 'anxiety' tonics and have found nothing that only calms the nerves. Every one I've tried just makes me want to take a nap!
Hopefully when my adrenals are healed the anxiety will go away.- Re: anxiety Hveragerthi

This is a reply to # 1,456,943Hv you have mentioned many times many things which are good for adrenal glands.
But do you have some adrenal building specific program to follow and how long it takes and intermediate plan to combat this chronic stress /anxiety issue- Re: anxiety Hveragerthi

The best way to build up the adrenals is with natural vitamin C, pantothenic acid, and adaptogenic herbs.
For vitamin C I like papaya, watercress, berries, and kiwis for food sources. Herbal sources include amla, acerola cherry, rosehips, and nettle leaf.
For pantothenic acid the best source is bee pollen. Nutritional yeast, rice bran, oat bran, nettle leaf and seaweeds are also good choices.
Some of the best adaptogenic herbs include schisandra berry, licorice root, astragalus, Siberian ginseng, jiaogulan, and ashwagandha. Nettle leaf and amla berry are also excellent for the adrenals.
Try to avoid stress as much as possible. Also stay away from pharmaceutical steroids and all stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. Keep in mind that caffeine can be found in many hidden sources including aspirin, kola nut (bissy nut) and guarana (extremely high).
Most people using the adaptogens, vitamin C and pantothenic acid generally report improvement in as little as 3 days.
As for stress/anxiety, building the adrenals will help with these. Anxiety though can also be caused from a lactate build up. Nettle leaf is one of the best herbs to reduce lactate. Ashwagandha is also great for anxiety as it stimulates the GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) receptors in the brain causing a relaxation effect.- Re: anxiety #93536
