How does all this happen in the body?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the liver is called the “house of the soul”.  The liver performs more functions than any other organ in the human system.  Just a few of its functions are:  cleansing all the other major organs of the body, the kidneys, the colon, lungs and skin, it manufactures blood clotting chemicals, digests worn out red blood cells, controls pathogens such as Candida and purifies the blood from harmful bacteria, it stores blood and nutrients, converts protein, fat, carbs , and glycogen to glucose for the brain to function and energy, aids in metabolism, constructs cholesterol, stores fat soluble vitamins, manufactures bile, manufactures urea, balances hormones, and the list goes on!!  Below is just a brief overview of what happens when our liver gets over worked…

If the liver is overloaded-kidneys suffer:  PH balance/heart rate/blood pressure

If the kidneys suffer-lung tissue degenerates:  Asthma/allergies

If the lungs suffer-circulatory suffer:  Not enough oxygen, cells don’t get nourishment, lots of toxic waste.  If the blood doesn’t circulate well, the lymph in our system doesn’t move adequately.

Lymphatic gets congested, swollen lymph, lymphocytes suffer

 

Eventually, the heart gets affected, bombarded with damaging chemicals.  If the heart doesn’t work optimally, then…

Not enough blood and oxygen to the muscles and fascia leads to:  lactic acid, pain, stiffness, spinal subluxation

If the spine is affected the nervous system suffers and the brain.  If the brain is affected then it…

Affects the endocrine system-cannot manufacture correct balance of hormones or sufficient enzymes for digestion and the entire cycle starts all over again!
