Steps to Detoxify the Liver
Step 1
Remove toxic substances from the diet –this includes sugar, grains, processed foods, and especially conventional meat and dairy (these are loaded with antibiotics and hormones that will completely disrupt your GI system) These set up a perfect storm to create a leaky gut.
Step 2
Add detoxifying herbs to your diet
Milk Thistle 100mg twice a day
Turmeric 500mg twice a day
Step 3
The liver is said to hold toxic emotion according to Ancient Chinese medicine. Specifically the liver holds, anger, resentment and frustration. Many suggest writing down people in your life that you hold these emotions towards and work on forgiveness. A counselor may be helpful with this.
Another practice that may be helpful is practicing Gratitude by writing down things you are grateful for on a daily basis
Step 4
Consume Liver (Yep–I said liver)
Famous physicians Dr. Gerson and Weston A. Price studied this and found that consuming liver on a regular basis is excellent at detoxifying the body
You can buy local chicken livers at your farmer’s market and throw them in the crock pot with chicken breasts, celery, carrots, onions and vegetables
If you just can’t bring yourself to eat real liver, you can buy desiccated liver at your local health food store
Step 5
Drink warm or room temperature water with fresh lemon as an early morning detox
