Sometimes it's useful to follow a rather silly chain of thought because doing so may lead to the realization of things much more profound. The other day, I was thinking about the police, and the often touted claim that they serve as a "thin blue line" against crime.
"Hmmm...., thought I... How can you be a 'thin blue line' when you have a BIG fat ass?"
Instantly recognizing the above logic for the mean-spirited, sophomoric twaddle that it was, I nevertheless decided not to banish it from my noggin. Instead, I began to picture fat police officers, sitting on stools in the local donut shop and riding around all day instead of walking the beat as had been wont of their more healthy forerunners.
Suddenly, it came to me -- something of which I had already been aware, but had never grasped with such clear-cutting and piercing certitude. To wit: all those fat cops (and all my fat friends, to boot) are never going to lose weight and fit back into their 34-inch-waist pants, no matter how many times they diet or work out at the gym. In fact, even if they have their stomaches stapled shut down to a dimension that will only manage tea-party-sized meals, our porcine friends are sooner or later going to regain that initial weight loss and remain just as fat and sassy as ever.
You know that's true, because you've probably observed the results of diets and working out in action in your own lives and in the lives of your friends, your neighbors, and the local po-po.
So what will bring about a true and lasting weight loss?
It's very likely that a series of liver cleanses and flushes will reduce your weight and fat-content by a surprising amount.
I will use myself as an example.
I hope that some of you will pipe up and share your results as well.
I have not been able to fit into my 34-inch-waist Levis jeans for many, many years, maybe since the year 1978. Of course, I still don't fit into them, not only because they are packed away somewhere in a box, but because I have not quite lost all the bulk necessary to that.
Be that as it may, for at least the last two decades and probably longer, my weight hovered around 230 lbs. Given the fact that I've lost a couple inches in height over that time and my knees and ankles were hurting quite a bit during the past few years, it was discouraging and frightening. About four years back, I stopped eating meat and almost all animal food. That brought my weight down, about 12-15 lbs, but I still felt (and was) way too fat. I was also developing edema at the ankles, wearing normal white sox.
During my days as a vegetarian, I was doing a fall and autumn one-week juice-fast combined with the Kidney Cleanse program and steady use of IF#2. I've been using IF #1 all along, day in and day out. After one of the above-mentioned programs, my weight would be down to about 210-212, but nothing I did would take it down any lower, and there was still a healthy layer of tissue that could only be described as F-A-T, girdled about my lower trunk, particularly the love handle area.
It was pretty easy to understand that my liver was not functioning up to snuff and was depositing fat around my middle, instead of getting rid of it in the normal manner. It was pretty easy to see that unless I began a series of liver cleanses and flushes, I would remain as I was.
Then one day in this forum, Uny chided me for neglecting to practice on the liver and dealing only with the kidney cleansing. Of course, I knew that wouldn't lead to optimum results -- and I'd done the old type of liver flushes a few times over the previous decade (the flush with epsom salt). But I didn't want to do the flush with epsom salt and doing it the right way seemed more complicated than I was ready to put up with, plus I was frightened at the prospect of forgoing the epsom salt, no matter that the substance is not at all good for you.
With the intention of doing part good if I couldn't do the total good, I did accomplish one more of the Epsom Salt type liver flushes, just to get things moving in the right direction. I couldn't tell if that one had any effect upon my liver, or even my weight, but I was now geared up to go and ready for the flush without the salts.
So about one month later, I decided to try the epsom saltless liver flush. I bought some Bragg apple cider vinegar and a gallon of organic apple juice. I also ordered the one-week liver cleanse herbs and some of the anti-parasite formulation. I picked up some strong organically grown coffee and an enema bag
I was frightened. The one week liver cleanse program was a snap, and the apple juice was tasty, of course.
However, the night of the liver flush, I felt just like you'd feel if you were waiting to be guillotined in the morning! I know exactly how that feels, because if you 'Google' the phrase "guillotine video," you can watch a couple of beheadings that took place back around 1915, and you can just imagine what the condemned were feeling as they were lead out into the sight of the infamous killing machine and realized that they were ten, nine, eight, seven, six paces away from losing their heads. And that's exactly how I felt as I rapidly guzzled the oil and grapefruit juice mixture without having swallowed the normally requisite dose of epsom salts, to open (allegedly) my biliary tract. I fully expected to go to sleep and never wake up, having fallen victim to some obstruction or another.
It didn't happen, of course. What did happen was that I woke up in the morning, and without the aid of a blond nurse wearing something skimpy and low cut, I took the coffee enema all by myself and expelled an astonishing number of largish lumps or "stones" and quite a bit of chaff-looking junk. Also, my weight seemed to go down a bit over the following days, and my fat zone seemed to shrink.
About three weeks later, I tried again, with similar results all around, including losing some apparent weight and fat.
Finally, about one month ago, I did yet another Liver flush without epsom salts, after one week of drinking apple juice and cider vinegar. Results were about the same.
Today, while writing this I actually managed to dig out my old 32-inch-waist blue jeans. I see that they are Wranglers™, not Levi Strauss™. Would you believe that while two years ago I couldn't even get my calfs into them, today my entire legs and rear end slid right in! I'm still about two inches shy of being able to button them up (three inches away from true comfort, if you want to be a stickler). The weight that came off has stayed off, and while I have not exactly been a glutton lately, I have also not been going to the gym.
I am impressed enough that plan on doing another liver flush in two weeks.
Now I could be wrong and I know this is merely anecdotal evidence, but it seems logical. Someone with a healthier liver will not accumulate excessive fat around the mid-section, nor will visceral fat accumulate within the abdominal and cause a "pot belly."
FYI here's a link to an illustrated page showing the different types of fat, including Visceral (internal) fat that causes the pot belly look and the fat found under the skin (subcutaneous fat). I'm assuming that a healthier liver will tend to preclude excessive fat in the blood stream as well (Triglycerides). This author has nothing to say about lever cleansing or flushing, or "stones." Maybe he'd think it nonsense, though a look at his last comments shows that he ought to try it and has nothing to lose from doing so!

This post is dedicated to the unnamed Australian man, who, was accustomed to being called "Fatty" back home. He visited the USA for a spell, and one afternoon while standing in line at a very crowded Smorgasbord in Chicago, he suddenly realized that fat-so though he was, he was the skinniest person in the restaurant!
