[bigjoe]

[angelique]

y would u wanna clense ur liver?.......
because its most important part of ur digestive system...

especially women that suffer from bloating, underweight, over weight, excessive acne, menstural soreness etc.. even for people with a high risk of diabetes etc..

i mean the liver controls a hell lot in ur body... and like when i was very fat i couldn't work out.. and sincerely speaking i'd be embarassed to go and try running when all those maniacs run like fools at the gym and there are skinny girls parading them selves... i did have insecure times lol

lol yea i didnt do all the herbs and crap


its basically eating more of a balanced diet.. higher in fiber and lots of carrot and blue berries and other anti toxants...

lol i was 17 when i started that and the only reason i started it was because it was the only diet that would let me have one serving of chocolate (dark :p)

its off the liver cleansing book by some australian doctor

and the book sets u on the 8 week plan.. the first two week is ok.. the next four weeks u eat a lot of carrots.. whole foods less of carbs.. and then the last two week where u can have a bit of alcohol and stuff..

i initially lost about 30 lbs in the first two months, with basic 30 minute cardio work out 5 times a week..

i have my diest charts somewhere i can dig them up

u also eat a lot of crushed seeds like sunflower seeds and linseed etc all crushed in together.. and u pretty much put it into everything u eat so u keep taking small dosages of fiber all day long with every bite..


and then the basic ofcourse breakfast food every 4 hrs atleast and light dinner.. its really everything u've heard and read just more ordered coz its all in one book and they have recipes and stuff...


ohh btw

atkins sucks for me i had fatty infiltration in my liver (well yea i was obese) because of it

so its a good diet for ppl that dislike atkins

[angelique]

i think all u gotta do is drink plenty of fluids ( non alkaholik)
yes ofcourse lol


thats like even if ur not trying to lose weight.. u have to drink water and stuff

[ilikecheese]

wow nice achievements angeliqua

[angelique]

wow nice achievements angeliqua
:P shut it and finish my sig yo :/ pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[methodman535]

Wow Im surprised it works. Is it based on just not eating filth or do you think its based on "special ingredients". Does the author explain how it works step by step. Yeah...I wouldnt mind seeing your charts. It just makes me wonder, if my liver is clogged too ya know? Cuz the liver is pretty much the main cleaning organ for the blood....

[Aurovon]

good stuff. but ya ive never tried atkins but i heard keto is way better.

[bigjoe]

yea well whats ur BMI

basically signs of unhealthy liver is
overwight
abdominal bloating
poor digestion
frequent fatigue
headaches
unpleasant moods
bad breath and u know white stuff on the tongue
then ther eis irritable bowel stuff sluggish metabolism

excessive body heat or if u have high chelestrol fatty liver and gall bladder disease

and ofcourse as i said if u have a fatty liver or have sugar cravings, intolerance to alcohol, or take too much or ur extremely skinny

and like if u over sleep.. like u know even if u go to bed at say 10 u still wake up grumpy at 9 thats a sign..

i think the official book's site is
www.liverdoctor.com
www.doctorcabot.com

the latter is the site of the doctor who cameup with this

it basically balances ur metabolism.. so its not a bad thing if all u want to do is just get healthy even u know

[angelique]

i like sunflower seed! 8)
lol not the oily salty ones :P

[methodman535]

My BMI is around 15% according to my weight scales but according to Ballys and another gym it was around 30%. Yeah I do have digestion problems, cant handle dairy or sugary drinks too well. Yeah fatigue is a problem too, so is moodyness and yes I got that white stuff on my tongue!

Isnt most of this info available online, or do you have to buy that book.

Oh and I wanted to ask you, how can someone make their liver worse by fucking up on this cleanse? You said thats a danger right?

[kashondelivery]

Question: Is Liver Cleansing Dangerous?

What do you think of the theory that many diseases are related to buildups in the liver? For a healthy person, do you see any dangers in following the liver cleansing advice?

-- Anonymous


Answer:

I don’t believe that most diseases are related to toxic buildups in the liver or that cleansing the liver is a worthwhile health practice. Some health conditions may follow compromised liver function, but these are due to liver damage. Serious liver disease can result from alcoholism or infection with hepatitis viruses B and C. It can also be caused by an autoimmune disease or be the result of cancer. An important function of the liver is to deal with toxins that enter the body. If you are in good health and not overloading your systems with toxic substances (such as alcohol), the liver will cleanse itself very well.

Be wary of claims for the benefits of liver cleansing products. In 2001, the Federal Trade Commission charged a California Company called Liverite Products, Inc., with making unsubstantiated health claims. And please
advertisement
view with skepticism the notion that the liver can be the cause of disease even when medical tests show that liver function is normal. Liver “toxicity” is not responsible for cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease or unspecified gastrointestinal problems, weight gain, aging or recurring headaches. “Cleansing” the liver with concoctions of apple juice, olive oil, lemon juice and Epsom salts (as promoted by at least one author) is unlikely to result in any improvement in health.

However, if you do have diagnosed liver problems, the following supplements can help:

* Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) - Milk Thistle extract may block toxins from entering the liver, help remove toxins from liver cells and regenerate liver cells.
* Schizandra (Schizandra chinensis) - The dried berries of this Chinese plant have been found to support and maintain the liver in general.

Andrew Weil, M.D.

[gujulicious]

nice, im likin this thread =)

[methodman535]

nice, im likin this thread =)


Then ask angelique to answer my question...shes hiding.

[gujulicious]

i already see the the motivation u have..
but calm down child, she's gonna be back soon lol :bball:

[angelique]

Oh and I wanted to ask you, how can someone make their liver worse by fucking up on this cleanse? You said thats a danger right?
well its like a puring ur self process. so your liver is in a very sensitive cycle. its like

suppose you get a tooth removed, and u want to eat nuts after that. its going to hurt, coz your whole moth is rather sensitive.

i do not udnerstand bilogy very much, but there is something called LSA which is a powdered mixture of linseed sunflower seed and almonds.. a bit granular and they tell u to eat as much of that as you can, so i am guessing there is something it must do to the liver in particular. hence the step by step thing..

its 2 months man, trust me even if u dont have problems, it is definitely worth it, just a healthy thing, ur skin feels nicer, you feel fresher, your body feels lighter... etc and i dont have any "hand written charts" lol i just followed the book, and cooked from the pook, i picked a recipe and cooked it and ate it... no"charts"

[methodman535]

Nice nice. Im thinkin of buyin the book but I was just really thinkin hard about what you meant by being careful...wanna be as careful as possible.

And this Dr Weill link...he sounds clueless...his criticism sounds so idiotic.

[angelique]

you never really know.. i mean it is true... not all problems are caused by irregularity of the liver.. and some are not due to the dietary habits...

unless u are suffering from seomthing serious

give the diet a sincere try. its not gonna harm u in any way...

[methodman535]

i already see the the motivation u have..
but calm down child, she's gonna be back soon lol :bball:

So you gunna try it too? I know I am cuz I try anything, love trying new things that show promise of any kind.

[gujulicious]

So you gunna try it too? I know I am cuz I try anything, love trying new things that show promise of any kind.


ofcouuuuuurse ill TRY...even if i can only go for 2days, which happens all the time coz i HATE vegetables and fruits so i totally cant force myself to eat "healthy" lol

[QuRutuLaiN]

i'm gonan try it.....i order thebook let see wht happens...

[methodman535]

Angelique my book isnt here yet but in the meantime can you just list basically what specific foods she says to totally reject and which ones to stuff youself with? You said something about crushing sunflower seeds but it would be nice if you just provided a shopping list of whatever is the core of this diet...like seeds or oils or whatever? And I assume its totally meatless?

[Whizkid786]

Interesting.

[methodman535]

I just got the book from Amazon. I hope it wasnt a waste of $20. She spend 5 months polishing her liver and is glad but if there was nothing wrong with mine to begin with Im gunna be pissed putting myself through whatever wierd torture the doc insists on lol.

Quratulain did you get yours yet?

[rager]

That Dr. Weil post is completely correct. You can't just get a notion your head that since the liver is the detoxifier for your body, it makes logical sense that you should help it along and clean it out every now and then. These things are all scams, there's no science behind them. It's amazing to come on these forums and see the crap people are putting in their bodies. Western medicine is grounded on 2 things: good science, and good evidence for everything that you do or prescribe. This Cabot person is a 1)a moron 2)a scam artist. But i will say she's smarter than anyone of the idiots that put down their hard earned money for her stupid book.

I second the Milk Thistle (Mariendistel) - it's been used in Europe for centuries for its liver cleansing properties. I like to use it twice a year, for one month each time.

This person who used to work for a pharmacist also told me about Milk Thistle. I have been hearing about it a lot too and will definately grab me a supplement that has its extract as part of my "detox routine" that I am perfecting along with my new "lifestyle change" regarding what goes into my mouth from now on.

Uhmmm....you cant? I am pretty sure there are doctors who have said that cleaning the blood means pretty much cleaning the liver, its synonymous. And its a fact that the liver is what cleans the most junk from the blood, its the organ that is purifying blood 24/7 and if it fails you die. What Dr Weill is saying that either a person's liver works 100% efficiently or it fails and the person just drops dead. There is no middle ground according to Dr. Weill's fanatic opinion. To me that makes him look more moronic than Dr Cabot and anyone else who spends $20 on the book.


These things are all scams, there's no science behind them. It's amazing to come on these forums and see the crap people are putting in their bodies.






All what "things" are scams? Is it a scam to tell someone NOT to eat fats that have been heated to over 100 degrees celcius because the fatty chains become bad? Is it a scam to tell people not to eat trans fatty acids either because it contributes to liver strain due to it not being digestible either since there are no corresponding enzymes or whatever to mate with it and dissassemble it?

And what "crap" are the people here putting into their bodies? Those bodybuilding supplements? Why would you call that crap when at WORST they are probably as bad as the plain white flour you buy in a supermarket. I dont get it. What are you referring to?



Western medicine is grounded on 2 things: good science, and good evidence for everything that you do or prescribe.




Yeah...and your point? Anyone who practices "western medicine" and hasnt killed a significant percentage of the people they treat will tell you that good health is based in part on ADEQUATE NUTRITION and if you take that away, then organ failures and bad health will follow especially on a long term diet deficiency scenario. And there is no "prescription" for a bad liver that Im aware of at the pharmacy, its all over the counter and Well and Cabot both mention it. I should note that Weill has never mentioned Dr Cabot at all and i have no idea who or what exactly he is raving and ranting about...he just sounds random.



This Cabot person is a 1)a moron 2)a scam artist. But i will say she's smarter than anyone of the idiots that put down their hard earned money for her stupid book.


Anyone who writes books and sells em with information thats widely available is a scam artist but I dont care. I plan on reading her book and then giving it back to amazon or ebay with a $4 loss or max $8 loss. How can you call her book stupid without reading it? Its just a book that outlines her diet plan and this girll angelique, who is a REAL person on this board has sworn that it improved her health dramatically which is why people are trying the plan on RD. Do you think angelique is a moron and a scam artist too? How did this "scam" make her shed 30 lbs of excess lard from her body and also remove a TON of the symptoms of unhealthy and toxic blood/liver or whatever from her system? Do you think she is lying and playing a big joke on everyone here?

Should we listen to you instead, someone who has no idea what this program is but is convinced its a scam even though real flesh and blood people are saying it works?

[rager]

Ok dude, your're totally right. I don't have time to go through basic sciences with you like I had to for acid/base. It's obvious you don't really know anything about the way the body works. If there was some miracle cure that increased the health of the liver, it would've been patented, produced, and sold by merck, pfizer, astra-zeneca, etc. for billions of dollars already. It wouldn't be sold by some crackpot "Dr." Cabot for 20 bucks on the freaking internet. And just cause it's natural doesn't make it safer. Red rice yeast contains the same compound found in lipitor to help lower cholesterol. So morons/dumbasses/tree-hugging hippies/people who think they know medicine when they don't take this, not realizing that it has a high rate of muscle destruction and eventual kidney failure and death, much higher than that of lipitor. But why would these companies tell you this, none of these herbals, or supplements have to pass any kind of testing by the FDA. For all you know, they might be manufacturing this shit in Mexico in some dirty ass factory, with absolutely no health and safety inspections, which they probably are. Of course the packaging might say something else, but they don't care, no one's watching over their shoulders. All they have to say is "Not approved by the FDA" somehwere on their package, and they've covered their asses.

Gee that was brilliant doc. :bowdown: I'm in awe, I didnt realize that any nutrient that occurs in nature could be patented. Thanks for the education on the patent laws of Madagascar. That must be where pfizer is selling vitamin C and E etc all under patent and raking in the billions.

She is selling a book, the book lists common nutrients to avoid completely and a few common foods, read COMMON foods to increase intake of. Heres a tip: don't write book reviews on books that you havent read or even skimmed.

I dunno what you are ranting about now. The milk thistle perhaps? I can buy that at walgreens under either the walgreen brand or some other well known vitamin brand. Dude...you are telling me that I risk getting sick because any random NON PRESCRIPTION supplement that I dare buy is gunna be infested with third world germs? Hahaha. You really are out of tune with reality. Almost every single pharmacy that I have been to has a section for over the counter medications. If these substances were so deadly would they even sell them? :ugh:

[rager]

Compounds that occur in nature can be patented. Do you remember where we got penicillin from? That drug was patented for years, as were all derivatives of that drug. What I was saying with the red sice yeast is the supplements have to be different enough from the patented version in order to be sold. And these differences can be dangerous in the long run because we simply haven't studied what their effects on people are. Every drug you get from a prescription or non-herbal/non-supplement OTC spends anywhere from 5-10 years getting tested and studied before it's deemed safe for people. Consider supplements and herbals need absolutely no testing by any government agency. Walgreens will also sell you cigarettes, are those safe?

While its true that drugs go through extensive testing that still doesnt make them safe. And example is Isotretinoin, a synthetic form of Vitamin A that is used for treating Acne vulgaris among other things. Many people are familiar with the horrible side effects it causes yet the FDA lets it be passed around like candy at dermitologist's offices if they choose. Ironically its also a patented vitamin in a sense.

And while its true that many herbal remedies are unsafe, the general rule of thumb is they are safer than their pharmaceutical equivalents. An example is St John's wort compared to Prozac for depression. It has relatively few and mild negative side effects.

You seem to portray me as someone who thinks herbs are unable to cause damage. I regard them as potentially just as harmful and toxic if misused as prescription drugs.

And regarding that liver book....most of the stuff in there is FOOD that a person will normally eat. Fresh food from plant seeds doesnt really have toxic complications so I dont think your phobic point of view applies. And even the milk thistle which is the ONLY HERB that I MAY try if I feel I need it will be researched, and Dr Weill also endorses it. Get a grip ok...and quit battling imaginary hippees and tree huggers.

[rager]

That is not the general rule of thumb beacuae we don't know what herbals and supplements do. No testing=not safe. Yes, st.john's wort may have fewer side effects, but it also much weaker in it's antidepressant properties.

Quratulain did you get yours yet?ur so silly
liver is one of the most important organs for staying healthy, all ur harmone levels are controlled by it. and no has a abso pure liver

everytime u go out drinking or eat oily eat too much carb less fiber u harm ur liver

its a good diet to follow even if u dont have a "Diagnoised liver problem"

its like a good diet, something u should do all the time, not for a period of time


this is angelique ehre btw.

wow thats a whole load of BS from a person who doesnt even know what the book si about.

1. there are no medicines in this diet

its just a book that tells u to alter your eating habits,a nd helps u move from a bad food to a good food

2. unhealthy liver is not a disease, its what people have, it doesn't kill you, a failing liver is an extreme case of unhealthy liver. and if you know 4thg rade biology, all acids are produced in th eliver, adn so a healthy liver is very important for all harmonal functions

3. the book does nto say that u do the LCD and u get a 6 pack by morning, once again it is only a way to alter your lifestyle

and its no miracle or cure its actually a lot of common sense, eat less of what loads up and eat more of what washes out

now, unintelligent people like your self who speak when they do not know should consider shutting the fuck up.

no offense, but ur just a lazy bastard, u've had the book forever.... and u still havent even opened it... even just for curiosity... :rolleyes: and getting healthy is not possible when ur lazy

[methodman535]

no offense, but ur just a lazy bastard, u've had the book forever.... and u still havent even opened it... even just for curiosity... :rolleyes: and getting healthy is not possible when ur lazy

I did skim through the book the first day it arrived. I just wasnt very impressed. Its not as well written as other health/diet books I have read like "sugar blues", "Dr. Atkins new diet revolution" and even that pamphlet "The master cleanse". I just wasnt that inspired by it. It didnt instill much faith in me that it was gunna make much of a difference.

The first half of the book has lectures on how important the liver is and what messes it up. Uhhmmm...ok... Then the other half is just full of wierdass recipes. Just tell me the good and bad ingredients and I will put them all together thank you very much!

The first half of the book is only whats worth anything...but it still doesnt give me enough of the WHY behind the "be a good little boy and do this every day" . I dont like that...I always like to deconstruct a diet and completely understand the WHY behind every single thing. When she lays out her 3 stage diet plan she doesnt even fuckin bother to explain why exactly its set up just that way...she just wants me to blindly follow it...I HATE THAT!
