Poor liver function

Liver function

Poor liver function can exacerbate some allergic conditions, asthma, skin eruptions, hay fever etc.

Middle age people have more digestive problems because their enzyme activity is less and they are usually eating foods that are enzyme less. They eating more bread, cooked foods, in some cases more alcohol and more sweet foods. When these dead foods are removed from the diet thereby taking the overload away from the liver, then the problems gradually improve.

In auto-immune disease e.g. poly-arthritis and systemic lupus, if the diet is high in foods containing synthetic chemicals, colours, preservatives, in fact all artificial sweeteners and flavours, snacks and crisps, colas, soft drinks, and packaged foods. These foods (it is questionable if they can be called food).

These chemicals build up in the liver. They by-pass all the protective fillers (which would normally act as barriers keeping them out). The toxins then have easy access into the blood stream.

The chemicals then incorporate themselves into various body organs, the joints, the muscles. After a while the body system becomes chemicalized. The immune system can no longer recognise chemicalized cells as a natural part of our body. It sees it as foreign thereby they will de destroyed. Antibodies are produced which will be attack your own body cells. This is a summary of auto-immune disease and explains the paradox that fools our immune system into attacking the very tissue that it was originally programmed to protect.

If you are suffering with an auto-immune disease you should definitely consider the 7 day liver cleanse to dechemicalize your body. It will reduce the toxic over load upon your immune system. Patient who have had lupus have reported a 90% “cure” both by blood test and symptomatically after following the 7 day liver cleanse and continued afterwards incorporating the method and lifestyle of the liver cleanse diet.

Gall bladder disease which is coupled with gall stones causes intolerance to fatty foods. You can experience fatigue, vomiting, upper abdominal pains which radiates into the back and upper right shoulder, nausea can follow. The whole experience can be severely distressing and uncomfortable. Please note how the liver and the immune system are intimately related; they are dependant on each other. If one is unhappy so is the other.

Energy & Nutrition

Nutrition

The liver synthesizes glucose from the sugars and carbohydrates that we eat. Glucose is the most important substance in our metabolism. It could be called ‘pure energy’ and is used by the cells of our body for just that purpose: energy, as it is absorbed directly into the cells. Excess glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen and is readily converted back into glucose if and when needed by the body. Our liver also stores super energy nutrients like Vitamin B12 and Iron, which are essential to the life processes of the body.

The liver also manufactures vitamins, clotting agents and amino acids. It makes cholesterol which is necessary for the production of hormones and other metabolic chemicals. It also produces lipoproteins which allow fat to be transported through the blood stream. (High cholesterol in the blood is usually caused by excessive intake of animal fats and rarely due to liver malfunction). The liver also stores other vitamins like vitamins A, D, E and K as well.

The Mayr Treatment

The Mayr Treatment is health through inner body cleansing as taught by the great physician and researcher Dr F X Mayr 1875-1965. Dr Mayr referred to biological strength of digestive organs as the root system of the human body. He explains how the digestive organs process the ingested food, extract vital nutrients from it by means of root like projections and then deliver these to the entire organism.

As stated in Dr Mayr’s introduction to ‘Health through inner body cleansing’ by Erich Rauch, MD “it is surprising how rarely todays medicine pays attention to these connections”.

Dr Mayr, known as the ‘old master’, was immensely vigorous and active up to his death in his 90th year. He would have been so pleased with the widespread distribution of his teachings.

I have had the wonderful opportunity to have a most inspiring week deepening my understanding of this amazing technique training with the eminent Dr Harold Stossier in his beautiful Austrian clinic, the Viva Mayr Centre for Modern Mayr Medicine. Dr Stossier has been teaching the Mayr method of healing and lecturing for over 25 years.

The teaching of Mayr principles are very complimentary to treatments and programmes at The Sanctuary of Light and Beechcroft Retreats, and can only contribute to health even more.

Book now for a consultation and assessment into how we can further enhance your digestion, your eating habits and general health. Learn how to bring a bit of the Mayr philosophy into your day to day life.
