Laying on your back or right side are the accepted positions and both are proven to prove results. Your choice.
Epsom Salts has many functions but specifically to answer you point. It causes the gallbadder to contract and the valve that controls release of bile in to the duodenum to relax. It is used the next morning to ensure that any toxic debris is quickly expelled from the gut rather than being re-absorbed.
Please read the FAQs they contain a lot of imformation.
If the liver is congested it can't function efficiently.
One of the liver’s most important functions is to break down food and convert it into energy when needed. When energy is required in an emergency the liver rapidly converts its store of glycogen back into glucose ready for the body to use. Carbohydrates such as bread and potatoes from our diet are broken down to glucose and stored mainly in the liver and muscles as glycogen.
The liver also helps the body to get rid of waste products. Waste products which are not excreted by the kidneys are removed from the blood by the liver. Some of them pass into the duodenum and then into the bowel via the bile ducts.
People with liver damage may sometimes lose the ability to control glucose concentration in the blood and need a regular supply of sugar.
The liver plays a vital role in fighting infections, particularly infections arising in the bowel. It does so by mobilising part of the body’s defence mechanism called the macrophage system. The liver contains over half of the body’s supply of macrophages (known as Kuppfer cells) which literally destroy any bacteria that they come into contact with.
If the liver is damaged in any way its ability to fight infections is impaired. The close interaction of the liver to the gut illustrates that liver-flushing can influence the ability of the liver to fight the leaking of toxic elements from infection like candida albicans. Many medical conditions in our modern world can compromise it: excessive use of
Antibiotics or steroids, oral contraceptives, overly-acidic pH levels from processed foods and stress, hormone imbalances, exposure to environmental toxins (often molds) and chronic illness. Our exposure to all these modern medical conditions sets us up for the fall into the medical condition known as Candida yeast overgrowth.
Part of the solution to yeast infestation is to have a healthy liver that is capable of playing it role in fighting and cleaning and balancing yeast bi-products. Candida is a normal part of the bowel flora (the organisms that naturally live inside our intestines, and are not parasitic). It has many functions inside our digestive tract, one of them to recognize and destroy harmful bacteria. Without Candida albicans in our intestines we would be defenseless against many pathogen bacteria. Healthy person can have a millions of Candida albicans.
The liver stores iron, copper, vitamin A, many of the B-complex vitamins, and vitamin D. The liver helps the heart pass blood to get to every part of the body. It function is to absorb and reattribute nutrients and dispose of waste products. Without either of the critical function working effectively the ramifications are only too obvious; poor nutrition and a build up of potentially toxic products.
A brief summary of the liver’s functions follows, but remember there are more than 500 functions:
• Processing digested food from the intestine
• Controlling levels of fats, amino acids and glucose in the blood
• Combating infections in the body
• Clearing the blood of particles and infections including bacteria
• Neutralising and destroying drugs and toxins
• Manufacturing bile
• Storing iron, vitamins and other essential chemicals
• Breaking down food and turning it into energy
• Manufacturing, breaking down and regulating numerous hormones including sex hormones
• Making enzymes and proteins which are responsible for most chemical reactions in the body, for example those involved in blood clotting and repair of damaged tissues.
