Re: Chinese herbs when water fasting

The TCM herbs that you are taking most likely include herbs for your liver. Herbs that move the liver energy such as citrus peel and bupleurum falcatum which raises cortisol levels. You are bound to be on herbs which also support your kidney/adrenal glands, Tu Si Zi(Dodder Seed) is often used which is a tiny brown seed but there are others which could also be used. I still use Tu Si Zi as it helps support my kidney/adrenal/hypothalamus and pituitary ie HPA axis.

I am not a fan of liver flushing, I do not think that it is helpful or necessary. Supporting the liver and helping the liver energy can be helpful. The nerve rings through the liver do affect this and so does repressing emotions such as expression of sadness and anger both of which affect the liver energy. The nerve rings through my liver are very wide and shallow now as I have worked on this for a long time. I suspect that the spleen also has an influence on this and toning both the spleen and liver could potentially produce a more balanced result without the effect on the stress response and outer energy which can affect the skin. I have not yet been able to confirm this as distilling a spleen toning herb for the essential oil I cannot yet do but I do want to try it.

Chances are that methylation is compromised and supporting methylation would be helpful. Milkthistle extract could help as it can help increase glutathione production.

Milkthistle extract has been restricted by the drug companies in the EU! It's a threat to their profits. They were given this power by the EU because of the THMPD, companies who are in competition with herbal medicine who have been given powers to restrict access to it by the corrupt EU. Their investigation into the events that proceeded the THMPD where the drug companies poisoned people with a laced herbal medicine which they prepared which lead to the kidney failure in hundreds of people. These herbs were never traditionally used for weight loss but were "prescribed" by complicit "Doctors" and everyone was found not guilty by the corrupt EU investigation which was done behind closed doors. However the details were uncovered and revealed.

This was one of my reasons why I voted to exit the EU, good riddance to a corrupt organisation which is unduly influenced by the large corporations. There are many other instances where the EU works against public health, this is just one. All to further the profits of the pharmaceutical companies. Tweet
