Re: Increased Liver Function & Valium.

Well...our body isn't so simple that we can assume just "this OR that" :::sigh:::

Consider this, and work it into your symptoms/issues:

The foundational building block of all 'hormones' is healthy cholesterol created by our own liver.  But when our liver is compromised & congested (as is everyones), our liver doesn't create adequate/healthy cholesterol.  (I've never seen/assisted an 'adrenal person' that didn't have major liver compromise).

The liver is the Master Chemist of the body - it converts hormones & substances created by the body into their active/usable forms (examples: the liver converts inactive thyroid T4 into active T3; the liver converts the chemicals created by sunlight exposure to the hormone-like substance of "Vitamin D", etc).  The liver also works with the pancreas/body to ensure stable blood sugar (when the liver is not functioning adequately, fluctuating/low blood sugar is common).

When the liver is compromised and not producing perfect cholesterol to fund all the processes of creation & conversion of hormones, our body can use the cholesterol from other animals/sources.  But while that foreign cholesterol IS usable and will bandaid symptoms of low cholesterol/inadequate hormone levels...like all bandaids that don't address the true cause, it causes harm.  And the unnatural animal fats, animal hormones in the meat/fat (and stored toxins throughout the meat/fat) definitely cause stress to the liver.

SO, you've lessened (substantially) the amount of animal cholesterol you're ingesting. and you've known 'since the beginning' that your liver is extremely compromised - and now there's the drugs compromising it further.  And now you're exhibiting symptoms of the liver self-cleaning/healing and low adrenal/calming hormones.

Yes, it is possible that the slight increase in liver function due to a wee-bit of self-cleansing means your body is processing-out the Valium more efficiently.  Yes, your liver has been relieved of the massive burden of ingesting massive amounts of foreign meat/fat/cholesterol/hormones/toxins.  Yes, this likely means that your liver-chemist has less cholesterol to use to create an ample level of natural hormones (and this could certainly mimic "withdrawal symptoms").  Yes, if you're still on HC, this lessens or shuts down the adrenals natural function of creating raw adrenal hormones (so the liver doesn't have adequate natural raw material to work with).

The logical way to speed up the healing process would be to ensure the "form & function" of the liver is as optimal as possible.  If you are seeing liver debris without doing any type of 'flushing', then it's logical your liver is extremely congested. 

You know what to do about that!  (a series of bi-weekly flushes until the amount of debris seen coming out is consistently less than the previous flushes).  For those that are symptomatic with liver congestion, this will typical take 24+ flushes (with varying levels & types of releases)...less flushing is necessary if assisted by daily CE's and the various liver supporting/cleansing herbs & adjuncts.

Hopefully that gives you some insight & info that assists you on your healing pathways.

Healthiest of blessings,
