Re: I was just thinking of posting to you

As for liver, its function is of prime importance. The IP6 is found naturally in grain, but is scrubbed out by "American" food industry. It is a natural chelator and is known to remove extranneous metals, notably iron, cadmium from various body tissue, including liver. My belief is that clusters of these extranneous metal deposits are what catalyze local cancers when a metasthesis occurs. By removing these extra deposits, I believe cancers can be avoided, and this notion is consistent with many studies.

Your liver is your best friend when de-toxing. I'm not into the grapefruit / olive oil flushes on a chronic basis as are many folks, but once in a while is probably a good thing to keep the bile duct unobstructed for those eating a typical "American" diet.

I recommend highly the book by Sandra Cabot MD entitled "The Liver Cleansing diet". Like many diets contained in these sorts of books, it would be difficult for a typical person to follow, but not impossible. What I found most beneficial were the revelations contained therein concerning lipoic acid and the important amino acid taurine.
