The Liver - Barbara O'Neill

[Music] welcome everyone where we're going to be talking about your project manager this morning which is your liver you've just gone into your second day of detox and your liver is very busy today it's gone into a different stage of detox and as it goes through this stage i'm going to be explaining to you what's happening in your liver your liver i call the project manager because on a job site all the plumbers come to the project manager the paint has come to the project manager the project manager is orchestrating the job site so that's what your liver's doing it's orchestrating the job site of course which is the human body so a few facts on the liver the liver is the largest internal organ in the body and the liver is the only organ in the body that has the ability to regrow and when you understand the liver when you understand what it does and it's the role that it plays you'll understand why god made it so you see cancer cannot get a hold on the body if the liver is working in optimum performance so those pieces of information alone make it a very important that we human beings know know something about the house we live in especially your liver your liver is under your right rib and if it's not happy when you push it it'll go don't is that right very simple test and you can see that i'm pushing my fingers way up under my ribs there but i don't have any discomfort at all if you have any discomfort no need to fear you're in a detox and your liver is very happy sorry not very happy because it's very busy it's very busy helping you to detox but it'll certainly recover so what i want to do before i show you what the liver is doing today i want to show you what it does with everything that comes into the body so environmental poisons coming into the body everything goes straight to the liver and if it's toxic the liver says whoa nasty guy wrap him up and fat and store him and if the liver looks at it and says now we can break that down to a state that can be easily released that is what it will do what about food let me show you what it does with the food that comes in and never in the history of mankind have human beings eaten so many carbohydrates so we're going to do a carbohydrate assessment and i want you to tell me what most americans had for breakfast this morning yeah toes so here we've got bread cereals a very popular one one lady said egg sorry no one cooks anymore is that right doughnuts donuts surely not and we talked about the healthiest part of the donut didn't we which is the hole in the middle so we'll say for the donuts the cakes the um you call them biscuits do you know what we call biscuits cookies so when we see a sign that says biscuits and gravy we're thinking oh these americans are strange people they put gravy on their cookies but i i realize that i think your biscuit is like a scone like a roll or something like that so i'm just going to say cakes etc so this takes into consideration the donuts the biscuits the cakes the pastries the pies all of that and pizza when i was a little girl i didn't know what a pizza was i am i don't think i knew what a pizza was about 20. so i'm a a baby of the 50s 60s so they weren't really around then same with pasta i don't think there's a home today that doesn't have pasta would that be right and rice is another carbohydrate potatoes that's a high carbohydrate food and last and certainly least in nutritive value is the pure crystallized acid that's extracted from the sugar cane plant now would you agree with me students that americans have become high carbohydrate consumers now i say i say become because i don't think anyone chose to eat this way it was just there it's just easy we're such a fast society today and many people don't think about their lunch time till they're hungry or their evening meal till they're hungry and there's no time to soak the legumes and cook the legumes there's no time to steam the vegetables they just want food now so i think it's something that is just you could say evolved and it's got to the point where these are very popular foods and we are getting the ramifications of that and people are starting to think now what's happening here what's happening here the first person that blew the whistle on it really was probably in the 80s dr robert atkins you've heard of dr robert adkins now his book it it hit the it it hit the press and it became new york times best-selling cookbook four years running wow the nutritionist and nutritionist and the doctors hated him someone loved him who loved him the people you know why they loved him it worked his story is fascinating he's a gp in his 40s putting on a bit of weight and of course that's what this will do let me show you why it does it we'll just take a little we're going to finish atkins in a minute but let me show you you see he knew his science that's why and the science i'm about to show you all of these foods break down in the gastrointestinal tract to a singular structure called glucose now the glucose goes on the m1 main highway portal vein straight to the project manager and then the project manager determines where this glucose goes and it'll take it inside the cell remember i promised you we'll be going to the cbd every day so the glucose goes inside the cell it goes through a 20-step pathway the 20-step pathway gives us two units of energy isn't that why we eat now the end result of that 20-step pathway is a chemical form of glucose called pyruvate pyruvate is the chemical form of glucose that gets fed into the next section of the cell often called the powerhouse because this little eight step pathway delivers to us a whopping 36 units of energy so the question now arises why does a 20-step pathway only give us 2 units and why does an 8-step pathway give us 36 units of energy the difference is oxygen this is called an anaerobic pathway anaerobic because it doesn't use oxygen it produces energy by the process of fermentation that's where a cancer cell lives remember what we looked at yesterday doesn't like oxygen consumes 15 times the rate of glucose because it's running up there interesting this pathway is called anaerobic pathway it's called an aerobic pathway because it uses oxygen tomorrow we're going to pursue that but today we're going to stay on track we're looking at the journey of glucose so the first place that the liver will send the glucose number one is to the cell to be burnt as fuel but on a high carbohydrate diet you got a lot of glucose left over and so now the body stores it in what i call the most amazing fuel quick fuel supply in the body it's called glycogen they're little molecules of glucose just sitting in your muscle cell waiting to be used do you wonder how you had the energy to exercise this morning we only gave you broth last night you only had aloe lemon water this morning and yet you did it it's because of your glycogen stores they're already sitting in your muscle cell and as soon as you move the body requiring more they just pluck it pluck it through the energy cycle pluck another one through the energy cycle what an amazing process it actually brings me to that verse in the bible at psalm 139 verse 14 where the bible says i will praise you for i am fearful him wonderfully made marvelous of thy works and that my soul knows right well so number two the glucose is stored as glycogen i call glycogen the diabetics best kept secret because if blood sugar goes low what do you do get on the exercise bike release your glycogen stores in fact one young man a diabetic he said to me why didn't anyone tell me about glycogen now that's a i can understand his frustration because wow let's go back to glucose so on the high carbohydrate diet we've still got glucose left over because the cell can only store so much by the way the liver stores a little bit and this glycogen can be sent all over the body whereas the glycogen that's in the muscle cell it's like in a prison it can only be used by the muscle cell and when you think about it that's the cell that has probably the most demand on it so what's the body going to do with the rest what's the liver going to do with the rest of the of the glucose well we've got an amazing fuel depot fuel supply i call it the basement stores you know what the basement stores are they're the fat cells and what's happening to americans today they're getting bigger and bigger and bigger when i used to visit my daughter 25 years ago i could go to a store and buy a small size today i have to go to a special special section called the petite section because 40 years ago 50 years ago my size was actually a normal size it's actually not a normal size today which is crazy isn't it but australia's australia is up up equal with america here 63 of australians are obese are overweight what's caused that here it is it's the high carbohydrate diet so the third place that the liver will send that excess glucose is as fat now what i've given you here is basic science i might have mentioned earlier that i like to use the bhsc method bible history science and common sense so with history we've got the history of people who never used to eat a high carbohydrate diet because people used to make what they eat and that all takes a long time so what did people eat a lot of well dr natasha campbell mcbride in her book gut and psychology she actually looks at the histories and she said thick vegetable soups was probably one of the most common foods that people ate you see the mother would on her fuel stove would put it in the corner and maybe she'd throw a bone or two in there as well especially if they didn't have a lot of money but the vegetables are cheap so historically people ate on the whole a lot of vegetables and let's go back to even more primitive times when there wasn't refrigeration if an animal was killed they would dry a lot of it they'd have a big feast for a couple of days but they're not they may not meet they may not eat meat again for another month what did they eat a lot of vegetables roots things that they grew so historically you can see that now we're looking at scientifically so when people are on this high carbohydrate diet too much glucose is released the body can only deal with so much so it has to be stored in the fat cells now dr robert atkins knew that science so he looked at himself getting this what we call spare tire so he decided to do an experiment on himself he decided to stop all carbohydrates what did he eat yeah he ate a lot of vegetables okay a lot of people don't realize that with the exclusion of the potato so he he was eating a lot of fiber and he knew also that the gastrointestinal tract needed to move through the next two food groups he ate a lot of meat butter cream cheese eggs so there was his protein and meat butter cream cheese eggs was also supplying another food group which was fat remember he just experimented on himself a few things happened his weight just fell off why well he's not supplying the quick release glucose stores and so his liver has to start breaking down his fat stores it's called gluconeogenesis creating glucose from the fat stores he was never hungry why because these are the three food groups that keep the food in the stomach longer fiber binds up the glucose and it slowly releases it protein well proteins broken down specifically in the stomach and fat it coats the food a little bit so it takes a little bit longer to break down that's good news because it means we don't have to be eating all day long we can eat and forget about food for the next five or six hours he had heaps of energy where's he getting his energy from if he's not giving this quick release glucose foods well as i mentioned his liver breaks down his fat stores to give him the glucose and his liver has the ability to break down protein and fat to give glucose he had lots of energy weights falling off him and he's never hungry has he found the perfect diet well the 11 million people that it has been estimated has been helped by his diet agree number one on the new york times best-selling list was four years running you know what this information says this man demands us to have a look because i want to know why so when i had a man come to our program who said to me he was a businessman he said i know you're not going to like it barbara but i love i go so well on the atkins diet now if i'm worth anything what am i going to do i'm going to listen because this is his body it works well i was interested and i was interested in a way that i'd never been interested before because people used to say oh that concise terrible meat butter cream cheese egg so i thought oh well i'm not too interested in that but i became interested in this man and it's quite a long story it's a fascinating story how eventually the book came across my path i opened it i could not put it down i read it in two days his science is correct there's the science so when atkins was popular i used to give a meeting called dr atkins missing link and his missing link really is the vegetarian protein i'm jumping ahead let's have a look at what he found so he started to put some of his patients on this oh they were so happy they can eat anything they can't usually eat on a weight-loss diet weight's falling off them within six months he had all his patients on the diet after a year a few things started happening which he was unprepared for his cancer patients were going into remission how so do you remember what cancer cells are consuming 15 times the glucose of any other cell this is a low glucose diet his diabetics were coming off their medication this is type 1 and type 2 diabetics absolutely there was weight loss you might be surprised at the next one his patients on high cholesterol with high cholesterol levels came back to normal and what are they eating meat butter cream cheese eggs what are people told if they want to get their cholesterol levels down what have they got to stop meat buttercream cheese eggs is that right he's scratching his head he only did it for weight loss and that's why he wrote his book but before he wrote his book he went into the medical journals and he went he opened once again his anatomy physiology book that he hadn't looked in for probably about 20 years and this is what he found that these three food groups are the essential food groups why remember we're going to ask why at every step well fiber sweeps the gastrointestinal tract and if it doesn't get swept every day it starts to it starts to slow down and not work properly and if the colon doesn't work the whole body doesn't work plus it is in the fiber part of food there's often a concentration of the nutrients protein is essential fifty percent of the membrane around every cell in the body is protein remember yesterday we looked at how the new cell is built up with amino acids my son james he inherited my body type it's hard to put on weight and that's bad news for a boy because they want to be big well he's big i can show you a photo of him he's got muscles now how did he do that he worked very hard he's got his mother's diligence he just worked at it and worked at it but he did something else i was in his room one day and my foot kicked this big bucket i said what's that oh that's my protein powder mum every body builder if they want to build up muscle what have they got to add to their diet protein because it's protein that builds muscle 50 of the membrane around every cell in the body is fat whether you're 100 kilos or 300 kilos i'm talking about the membrane around yourself except for the brain cell it's 70 percent fat and that's little fatty sheath around the around the tail of the cell that that gets your brain cells up to 70 percent in fact the brain's the fattiest organ in the body and you know what it loves to eat fat we'll have a look at that what atkins found is that the non-essential food group is carbohydrates this surprised him now let me define that i'm not saying carbohydrates are bad i'd be a fool to do that we love them we enjoyment we enjoy them they're not bad they only pose a problem when they're overdone and refined got that notice the two words overdone and surely on the high carbohydrate diet it's a little bit overdone isn't it and refined because most people that are on this diet it's refined but you can still overdo the unrefined carbohydrate so because of that your carbohydrate part of your meal is your negotiating part of the meal and the negotiations change depending on your height depending on your size depending on your age depending on your physical and mental output through the day but probably most it would depend on your health status so if someone wanted to lose weight quickly safely drastically what would they severely eliminate the cats someone wanted to conquer cancer what would they quite drastically drop the carbs someone wanted to conquer their diabetes what would they drop the carbs someone wanted to um put on weight this is a trick question how did james put on weight you don't increase the carbs because i don't know anyone that wants to get fat in fact what we find and we found this last week that our overweight people lost weight our underweight people put on a little bit and now people who were the right weight they just stayed the same and they're all eating the same food the bible says prove all things and hold faster that which is good people say to me barbara do you ever step sideways do you ever have a little bit of junk i said why would i do that i feel so good i sleep well i like the results so notice what the bible says prove all things and hold fast to that which is good in other words do it and just just keep at it how can you do it though on a vegetarian diet let's have a look and we're going to go to genesis 1 29 where god's telling adam and eve what to eat because i don't think you can improve on the garden of eden diet let's have a look at it in genesis 1 29 god says behold i've given you every herb-bearing seed which is upon the face of the earth we're going to have a look at the food we're going to have a look at the protein content and the carbohydrate content god says behold i've given you every herb-bearing seed so what's a seed that would be grain a seed would be legume like often called the beans and the seed would also be seed so let's look at grain you've got wheat rye barley oats amarath buckwheat quinoa so many rice so many grains they are high in protein but they are also high in carbohydrates so let's let's glance over at our carbohydrate list how many of these are from grain so we've got grain grain grain we could say grain grain grain grain grain because all the cake section grain grain grain the majority of our carbohydrate list is from the grain department what's a legume that's your chickpeas lima beans black eyed beans cannelloni beans well you call them black eyed peas don't you lentils soy they are high in protein but interesting to note that they are medium to low in carbohydrate that is interesting because if you go to the modern atkins books which is your keto diet your ketogenic diet your paleo diet they will say don't eat legumes because they have carbohydrates well they do but not a lot only a third what you will find in the grain what about seed you've got pumpkin seeds sesame seeds sunflower seed chia seed flaxseed or linseed these seeds are high in protein but they are quite low in carbohydrate so god said behold i've given you every herb-bearing seed which is upon the face of the earth and every tree in the witch of the trees a fruit-bearing seed what's a fruit-bearing seed there's your nut all your nuts come from the fruit of the tree and we've got you you say pecan we say pecan walnuts cashew brazil hazelnut almond so many nuts and the nuts are high in protein but quite low in carbohydrate so to ensure you're getting your three essentials the fiber protein and fat my suggestion is you increase the legume nut seed part of the meal and decrease the grain part of the meal that's an easy way to do it you can see why atkins diet was so popular you can see why the paleo diet's so popular but what comes into the equation also is dr colin campbell's book china study where he shows that he could switch cancer cells on and off by the amount of meat and dairy products he was giving to the rats there's hardly a meat that is safe today because of the way they're fed because of the way they're killed because of the way they're stored it makes it so much easier on the vegetarian diet but one of the reasons why so many people stop the fat is because of cholesterol would you agree with me yes so let's have a look at cholesterol it's a good time to look at it because the liver makes cholesterol and by the way it makes cholesterol according to the demand our body puts on it and 80 percent of the cholesterol that the liver makes is made from glucose and 20 percent of the cholesterol that the liver makes is made from fat now this information tells us straight away it's not the butter on the bread it's the bread under the butter that's the problem and that's what atkins found so let's have a look at cholesterol there are two main types one is high density lipoprotein called hdl high density lipoprotein and ldl hdl is usually called the good guy and the reason for that is it's the carrier so it carries excess cholesterol from the blood back into the liver that's why it's called the good guy ldl is called the bad guy but what you've got to remember is the body doesn't make anything bad it has a role so what is its role its role is that of a repairer and a rebuilder so wherever there's damage you're going to find ldl because it's the repair and the rebuilder but it ha it plays another role it delivers cholesterol to the brain because the brain loves cholesterol cholesterol to the brain now let me show you something briefly we're going to look at this in further detail later glucose burns at four calories per gram a calorie is a unit of energy that's what glucose burns at whereas fat burns at nine calories per gram can you see why the brain loves fat because fat is going to give more than twice the units of energy and our brain cells they're consuming fuel fast let's have a look at the blood vessel and how the cholesterol works in the blood vessel because of its low density ldl is always on the edge because of its high density hdl is always in the middle dr natasha campbell mcbride who wrote the book put your heart in your mouth she spends the first four chapters of her book defining what damages the arterial wall see the arterial walls are lined with little endothelium cells and chemicals damage them heavy metals damage them there's your mercuries also what damages them is mold and where we're exposed to she defines the reason why it's four chapters she defines all the different chemicals they're in toothpaste they're in food what's going to plug the holes up students the ldl cholesterol that's its role that's its job so it comes along and it plugs up if it doesn't plug the hole up we would bleed into the tissues can you see that so they're like the band-aid but the person doesn't realize that the moldy house is killing them the person doesn't realize the 4 000 cigarettes sorry 4 000 chemicals that are in a cigarette so they keep smoking they don't realize the the danger in their washing detergents in their toothpaste so can you see that it's still happening and they read an article that says no mercury does not kill you at all well i haven't read the science you know it's a neurotoxin can you see what's happening something else is happening so all through the bloodstream we've got little molecules of protein when we're when a person is on a high carbohydrate diet releasing a lot of glucose into the blood the blood connect the glucose connects with the protein molecules and these little these little combinations become sticky and they stick and let's say we've got a narrow piece here and they come along and oops they've caused a blockage that is the number one cause of heart disease that is the number one cause of a stroke is this little blockage here from the movement of the combination of the glucose and the protein making it sticky molecules on a low carbohydrate diet you haven't got that process happening to blame cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming the fire trucks for the fire it's like blaming the ambulances for the accidents well they must have caused it have you noticed that they're always there can you see that reasoning we have we have quite a few books in our library at misty mountain and i'll write them down at the end of the lecture i realize i didn't write down yesterday's books i'll do it all at the end of this lecture the great cholesterol con by dr malcolm kendrick notice what he calls his book he's a cardiovascular surgeon the great cholesterol con and this is what he said in his book for the first time normal levels of a normal vital body substance has been called a disease we have a book an australian doctor dr peter dingle his book is the great cholesterol deception we have another another book called the great cholesterol myth by johnny bowden and there is an ebook by another cardiovascular surgeon dr dwight lundell called the great cholesterol lie we have another book called the great cholesterol hoax we're running out of words and in her book put your heart in your mouth dr natasha campbell mcbride she's saying the same thing these people don't know each other they're from all over the world and they've come to the same conclusion it is not cholesterol dr ansel keyes back in 1953 he put forth the theory that fat is causing heart disease did you hear that so really by the 70s and 80s it's big isn't that true fat phobia that's what we call it fat phobia so you know what they did in i think the late 70s they created margarine to try and get people off butter to lower the heart disease has it no no not at all and what's the definition of insanity to do what you've always done and expect different results but something else has come up now neck to neck with heart disease and that is cancer that's one of the contributing factors but something else has happened as a result and this is well documented you can search this one out margarine causes macular degeneration that that's that's a proven fact so what else have they done to try and lower heart disease put everyone over the age of 40 on cholesterol-lowering medication yeah cholesterol lowering medication are you ready for the side effects dementia muscle wasting alzheimer's memory loss and they've just added another one breast cancer because our sex hormones are made from cholesterol i'll tell you a story to illustrate i had a lady and a man attend my programs in new zealand i think that was about two years ago they were in their early 70s tuesday night i spoke on heart disease where i revealed what's happening with cholesterol the truth on cholesterol they came to me on thursday they said we we need to talk to you i said yes the man looked at his wife and she just had a head down he said we're about to put my wife in aged care he said she was leaving the iron on we we got to the point where we won't be able to handle her he said we came to your lecture and we heard what the cholesterol-lowering medication does she's been on it for ten years it was lipitor there's a whole book written on the dangers of lipitor he said so we stopped because they heard me say there will be a side effect to stopping lipitor your memory will return so this is a drug a person can be on 10 years and just stop the side effects will be beneficial he said to me it's been we're on our third day and he said i've got my wife back he said we are not putting her we did not want to but he said it was getting so difficult and they both had tears in their eyes how many people are in aged care with dementia and alzheimer's and memory loss and it's the cholesterol-lowering medication i i believe personally this verge is on criminal especially when you hear what i'm about to say it was probably five years ago now at living springs retreat we had a scientist do our program with his wife who was a nutritionist they're both in their late 60s she's 69. she said i've been a nutritionist for 40 years so she said i was i was educated in university 40 years ago and she said 40 years ago we were told that a cholesterol level of 300 and under was perfectly normal has the body changed no so can you see what medicine has done they've dropped the levels they now say that if you are over 190 you're a walking talking heart attack i have had people say that to me one girl was 30 her cholesterol levels were 192 and the doctor said you've got to go on cholesterol-lowering medication 30. we had a pharmacist do our program she said this really annoys me she said i know it's only a money-making scheme because if you go on an antibiotic you're on it for a week if you go on cholesterol-lowering medication how long you told you on it for life now she said i i'm a pharmacist i'm not against drugs it's my business but she said this annoys me you see the brain needs fat so a study was developed or bill or started i should say a study was started in the little town of framington in the little hound of town of framingham 30 000 people were assessed this has been going for 30 years they started it to prove that cholesterol causes heart disease but it hasn't it hasn't at all some people with low cholesterol levels are having heart attacks we had a lady from england do our program she said i had a heart attack recently and i had a cholesterol level of 150. she said they did an angiogram my arteries were clear what happened there she was under great stress you know great stress can constrict the there are many factors that come into play as you probably can see but what this study showed the framingham heart study that's what it's called it showed that people with high cholesterol levels don't get alzheimer's why don't they get alzheimer's because what does the brain love fat so what's a good cholesterol level oh probably 200 250. so see what's happened they've gotten many people on cholesterol medication they've got everyone on the fat free diet and because you're you're not getting the feeling of satisfaction so that is satiation or satisfaction when you eat the person needs huge amounts of carbs they've lowered the cholesterol level so they can get more people on cholesterol-lowering medication and people are eating margarine are surely all of that has reduced heart disease no it's still the number one killer in the industrialized nations today neck to neck as i said with cancer so what's your liver doing today we're not giving you enough food to run on and so some of your fat cells are getting broken down to give the glucose that you need but something else a little bit more sinister is being released and that is the fat soluble toxins that have been coming into our bodies over many years now this explains why your body odour might be a little worse than usual why your breath might be a little worse than usual why you're well what you're leaving in the toilet might have a worse odor than usual because your fat cells as they're getting broken down to give you that excess glucose or extra glucose that you need the fat soluble toxins are being released they're back into the blood the liver says oh not this guy again the liver is about to wrap it up and fat and store it and the liver says oh hang on we're at living springs retreat we're receiving the nutrients necessary to break that down to a water-soluble state because it can't be released in a fat soluble state so what your liver is doing is taking it through three phases phase one of the if the liver detox began yesterday on your first day of juicing and in phase one your liver took this fat soluble toxin and it broke it down to a metabolite so what's a metabolite metabolic just really means the first stage of metabolism or breakdown the first stage of breakdown the metabolite is really met light but this metabolite is highly volatile this metabolite creates a lot of free radicals this metabolite is highly toxic in fact in some instances it creates a substance a hundred times more toxic than it originally was especially in the case of alcohol and you might say well what's the liver doing it's just created something far worse than it originally was it's a process it's just like when we clean the kitchen cupboards out the kitchen looks a hundred times worse than when you started well i'll give a guy illustration when you clean the garden shed out it looks a hundred times messier than when you started it's a process within 36 hours of starting the detox phase two kicks in and phase two basically comes to the rescue in phase two the liver takes this highly toxic metabolite and joins it together with amino acids the union of this highly toxic metabolite with the amino acids the fact that the um scientific term is conjugated basically joins it together like that so the conjugation of the amino acids and the toxic metabolite releases the water-soluble state or converts it to a water-soluble and remember as a water-soluble toxin it can be easily released out of the body so phase three happens in conjunction with phase two so in phase three the body takes the water soluble state and it releases it out via your sweat glands that's why your most important steam sauna is today because you'll be releasing more water-soluble toxins than any other time of the week it releases it out via your colon so if you're not evacuating every day please the st see the staff and they'll give you a little bit more of the colon tea but also out by your kidneys your urine that's why it's vital that you ensure that these three organs of elimination are eliminating effectively no use cleaning the house and leaving all the rubbish at the door make sure the eliminating organs are eliminating effectively and that will ease any symptoms you may have on the detox so what does phase 2 need what does the body need to support the liver to cope with this toxic metabolite it needs antioxidants an antioxidants antioxidants they basically mop up the free radicals these free radicals so what are the most potent antioxidants beta carotene beta carotene is found in your all your orange and your green colored vegetables have you noticed that every juice we give you is either green or orange or red so we're supplying high beta carotenes to you also probably the most famous antioxidant is vitamin c vitamin c is not ascorbic acid ascorbic acid i think it's dr robert thompson in his book the calcium lie he explains this ascorby acid is just the envelope have you ever got an envelope in the mall with nothing in it in other words useless but when you buy vitamin c make sure it has bioflavonoids with it that's how you find it in nature that's called the whole c also vitamin e vitamin e is a fat soluble vitamin so you're getting your vitamin e in your protein drinks so in your protein drinks i think we either make it with either organic soy or almond milk and put a little bit of coconut milk in there with your p protein powder so you're getting your vitamin e there can you see that we are nutritionally supporting your liver to effectively detoxify you i'm going to put this sideways because they are are not antioxidants but your liver needs them at this stage and that is your minerals and your minerals are in everything especially that broth at night also your juices with your organic fruits and vegetables and that little bit of celtic salt that you're having before every glass of water and vitamin b now deborah i think it was you asked me last night why is my urine bright yellow i said it's the b vitamins you're not losing your b vitamins it's just the reaction that has in the body so within 36 hours phase 2 kicks in what does face what does phase 2 need so phase 2 needs protein now this explains why yesterday on monday we gave you two protein drinks so you had five juices yesterday so monday five juices your eight o'clock one was green barley 10 was the protein 12 was green barley two was protein and you're four was green barley because yesterday your requirements for antioxidants exceeded your liver's requirements for protein but notice today well today's only just started you'll be having your five juices again but the 8 12 and 4 you'll be given protein whereas the 10 and the two that's where you'll get your green barley you still need those antioxidants and we certainly are still supplying them but because you've gone into phase two your protein or amino acid requirement is greater so the protein that we use is a p protein it's been pre-digested one lady said who digested it it's a enzyme action like taking milk to uh to yogurt that that initial breakdown has has begun we wanted to bypass digestion because we want your body to remain in the in the detox so today is probably if you're going to have any reactions it will be today but what we have found that since we've been implementing the protein we don't get many adverse reactions happen at all now if someone comes to our program and it has happened in past times who is a painter or a hairdresser or a cleaner they've had big exposure to chemicals we give them protein every single juice and we had a vietnam veteran do our program he told me that most of his friends were dead half of them were suicide and half of them were were cancer because of the chemicals i think the vietnam war was the first war where they they used chemical warfare and his doctor had said to him don't lose weight why did the doctor say that because the doctor knew that his fat stores were full of fat soluble toxins so we gave him protein every juice remember what the protein does it mops up those toxic metabolites now we know our history we know jesus went through a 40-day fast you know and i think it was a miracle because it was it was food and water but we see in times past there are some riders that have advocated long fast today it is not really safe because we are we are exposed to more fat soluble toxins than any generation that has ever lived on planet earth it's coming in in so many ways most what ways that we that we don't anticipate i often say we're exposed to thirty thousand new chemicals every year but i was reading an article recently a hundred thousand new chemicals every year you have no say over your neighbor but you have total say over your little piece so just ensure that your washing detergent the food that you're eating it can come in in so many ways one lady said it's going to take me forever to shop i said no i need the first shop you just devote a bit of time bring your magnifying glass after that you know exactly where to go when i go into the supermarket i'm not in there long i know i get that all one man said just stay on the outside aisles that's where your fresh things are so please investigate so that you don't have any more exposure to those chemicals i thank god that he has given us a liver that has the ability to detoxify us from the environmental poisons that we are exposed to today that is the good news but you'll notice that this also supports what atkins found i think when atkins died he didn't realize the three phase of the liver detox this has only been known since i think early 2000s the more science scientist is able to delve deeper into the body the more is revealed but you can see why his diet was working because he was supplying high antioxidant did you know that his patients had to eat three cups of vegetables a day and one cup had to be greens i think that's the only way they got away with it certainly there was enough protein and certainly adequate levels of good fats which keep those cells nice and supple now there are a couple of herbs that you might be interested to know that specifically have a tonic effect on the liver in psalm 104 verse 14 the bible says that god gave herbs for the service of man i love that verse because you just picture the herbs coming in they come in and say where would you like me that's what that's exactly what they do lemon the humble lemon has a great tonic effect you might have heard the old saying bitter to the mouth sweet to the stomach and sweet to the mouth bitter to the stomach will you apply that to the liver bitter to the mouth it's a sweet to the tonic so stood to the liver a sweet tonic to the liver so all your bitter herbs so let's look at some bitter herbs dandelion dandelion is a well-known liver herb also said mary's thistle said mary's thistle is also called milk thistle and gentian this is not as well known jensen is also an incredibly bitter herb and a sweet bitter is ginger so your ten o'clock juice which is granny smith apple and ginger i think it's one of the nicest has a nice uh stimulating effect to the to the blood tonight when we look at poultices i'll be talking about ginger in detail so there's some of the herbs that that stimulate the liver remember the liver is a recoverable organ and if you give it the right conditions it can begin to recover we're going to have a break now and when we come back from our break we're going to be looking at those little chemical messengers in your body called hormones
