Re: Liver and Brain Fog?

Whether the disruption to cholesterol manufacturing and lipid supply caused by Liver Flushing affect the brain function isn’t known. A primary purpose of the Liver Flush is to break this process and evacuated as much of the “toxic” hepatic bile as possible in an attempt to improve the efficiency the enterohepatic cycle with freshly produced bile. So much bile is lost during a Liver Flush that the liver may struggle to produce sufficient bile, particularly bile salts to support normal meals for some time the body will find cholesterol from any available source. As cholesterol is also made in other cells for the conversion to energy the liver may hijack this production may help to explain why sometimes there is an unexplained change in energy levels. Glial cells in the brain appear to churn out their own cholesterol supply but the link to brain-fog hasn't been studied.

Flushing, cleaning and detoxification are different processes although the terms are commonly mixed up. Many Liver Flushes in a programme will result in a Liver Cleansing protocol. Some people argue that is very beneficial prior to detoxification for some people but the enterohepatic cycle is the key which is reliant on both a "healthy liver" and bowel.

Brian-fog on its own isn't sufficient grounds to suspect the liver in most people a "toxic" liver will give rise to an array of unexplained signs.

Brainfog, malaise or fugue are terms given to the variety of cognitive problems that many chronic illness sufferers. Brainfog has a variety of symptoms including poor memory, difficulties using language, and difficulties with learning. These symptoms tend to descend in a haze or "fog," around the sufferer. It appears epitomised by poor language skill, like a kind of dyslexia, problems remembering numbers, finding the right words, spelling, retaining new information etc. It can become so severe that it becomes impossible to understand a single sentence or instruction without seeking clarification. It appears that this is an all too common condition reported by people with a congested liver complaint. It looks to be linked to the descending spiral of chronic illness involving brain chemistry, sleep deprivation, sleep disorders, decreased blood flow and depression. Studies show that chronic illness can cause decreased blood flow to certain areas of the brain responsible for creating short term memories. Low level latent pain causes stress and gnaws away at the brain diverting its attention from cognitive tasks. Try thinking logically if you’re upset of angry and scale that down to the chronic underlying poor temperament that you get from nagging poor health. Depression lowers the levels of serotonin in the brain, preventing new memories from being laid down. Low levels of serotonin are also linked with learning difficulties.

Poor posture caused that holding a latent liver pain because it causes muscle trigger points to form in the digastric muscles which block the drainage channels from the brain. Applying heat packs to these muscle and gentle massage them clears the trigger points and releases the build up of toxin allowing the brain to clear. In general hot bath enriched with magnesium sulphate are an excellent muscle relaxant and detoxifier.

Reactive hypoglycemia may have a contributory and perpetuator effect on brainfog. These conditions also affect the flow of blood to the brain. Reactive hypoglycemia is possibly the most common reason for hypoglycemia in non-diabetics. This form of hypoglycemia is probably caused by an overproduction of insulin from the pancreas after a large meal with a lot of carbohydrates. The insulin can still be detected even after several hours, although the level should be back to normal at this time. Type-2 diabetes can also be implicated with brain-fog where insulin-producing cells of the pancreas are unable to cope with the need to produce a surge of insulin after a meal. Type-2 diabetes is also synonymous with thrust and other yeast infections. Tweet
