The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush: A Powerful Do-It-Yourself Tool To Optimize Your Health And WellbeingBy Andreas Moritz

Circulatory System : Blood passes through the liver for cleaning before it enters the heart. If gallstones are present, the blood isn't cleansed thoroughly and this causes toxic build-up in the blood. Eventually, the blood vessels near the liver can kink up so that not enough blood gets to the heart. The result may be heart palpitations or heart attack.
Cholesterol also plays a role in liver function, one that is generally misunderstood. Cholesterol is necessary for proper cell metabolism. The liver and small intestines produce much more of it than is found in the foods eaten during a day. The two types of cholesterol called LDL and VLDL are larger molecules than HDL and leave the bloodstream in the liver where they are rebuilt before entering the intestines. Gallstones inhibit the flow of cholesterol molecules into the intestines, which inhibits the digestion of fats - one of their main tasks - and keeps them from being put back into the blood. This means that the cells receive too little cholesterol to handle their basic metabolism. The statin drugs given for high cholesterol levels actually make it worse. The drugs inhibit the production of cholesterol in the liver, while also interfering with bile production and the digestion of fats. This contributes to the long-term side effects of kidney failure, liver disease and heart disease. The LIPITOR label actually states that it should not be used by those with "possible liver problems" and "has not been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks." Problems with blood flow, such as varicose veins, blood pressure and heart disease, are always preceded by congestion in the bile ducts. Poor circulation causes toxic build-up in the tissues and the lymphatic system because the waste isn't cleared quickly enough. When the lymph system is overloaded, it is easier for infections to occur. To determine if your lymph system is backed up with toxins, lie down and feel for hard knots near the navel. These are inflamed lymph sacs filled with waste matter and the forerunner of illnesses, if one isn't already present. The intestinal tract and related lymph nodes comprise 80 percent of the immune system. If the lymphatic system contains waste build-up, it isn't able to neutralize and detoxify the dead tissue cells, ever-present cancer cells, pesticides and other toxins present on a daily basis. The initial result is swelling and puffiness that leads to more serious illness. The endocrine system cannot work effectively if the circulatory system is compromised. Endocrine glands are responsible for producing the hormones that regulate growth, bodily activities and nutrition. These are carried to various parts of the body by the blood. Congested blood deters adequate amounts of hormones from reaching their destinations. The body then signals that more hormones are needed and the glands secrete more, causing hormone imbalances and resulting diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis and dementia. Respiratory system : This system is responsible for bringing in the oxygen necessary for many chemical processes in the cells and taking out the carbon dioxide waste. Since the blood is used to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide, the liver needs to be healthy to effectively filter toxic wastes from blood; if it isn't, the wastes flow into the respiratory system. The bacteria present in gallstones can cause allergies, pneumonia, and problems with the nasal cavities. An enlarged liver will inhibit the full extension of the diaphragm so less oxygen can be inhaled. Urinary System : Consisting of two kidneys and the bladder, this system regulates the amount of water excreted, the electrolyte balance, and the acid/alkaline balance in the body. A build-up of toxins in the blood disrupts the filtering process of the kidneys, so uric acid stones may develop, causing gout, rheumatism and water retention. The kidneys are also no longer able to regulate their usual functions, so the chemical balance of the body is compromised. Nervous System : Our outlook on life is affected by the health of the nervous system. The brain, which is the body's control center, manufactures essential chemicals for body function and needs proper nutritional support to do this. The lack of nutrients available in the body due to modern agricultural practices and to poor liver function and digestion leaves the brain without adequate support. This results in fatigue, depression, aches and pains, and mood swings. Basically, every function of the liver affects the nervous system directly. Bones : Our bones are also affected by lack of nutrients due to gallstones and the resulting poor digestion. The presence of gallstones inhibits the production of new bone, while old bone is still being destroyed, thus causing osteoporosis. Calcium cannot be absorbed by the intestines without adequate bile, leaving the bones deficient of this basic building block. In addition, calcium is leached from bones and teeth to neutralize excess acids in the blood due to gallstones, leaving the bones even more depleted. Joints : Rheumatoid arthritis and other common joint conditions are typically preceded by a variety of intestinal complaints such as bloating, heartburn and constipation. Joint conditions in general indicate a high level of toxicity in the body, originating with liver congestion. The poor digestion resulting from a congested liver produces too few nutrients to maintain bones and tissues. Eating animal products, choosing foods with preservatives, antibiotics, and coloring, drinking sodas or coffee, and smoking all increase the amount of toxic congestion in the body, which can lead to joint conditions. Reproductive System : Diseases in this system are generally linked to congestion in the lymphatic system, particularly the thoracic duct connected to the digestive system. The reproductive organs drain their toxic matter into the thoracic duct for removal. If this duct is clogged or inflamed due to previous waste overload, it is not able to take on the toxins from the reproductive organs. If the toxins remain in the reproductive system, they can cause immunity problems, inflammations and tumors. Skin : Diseases such as eczema, psoriasis and acne are all caused by impure blood and digestive issues, originating with gallstones. Because of toxic build-up in other organs of excretion such as the kidneys, the body tries to release the toxins through the skin. When this area clogs up, skin diseases, baldness and poor hair quality occur.
