Liver Problems

Where do toxins come from?

Toxins can be classified in to 2 types:
EXOTOXINS - come from outside the body. These are inhaled, absorbed through the skin and ingested every day from polluted air, water, and contaminated diet.

ENDOTOXINS - are toxins that are generated inside our body. When digestion is poor, bacteria in the gut act upon undigested food particles and create toxins.

How does the liver detoxify harmful substances?

The liver is one of the major organs of elimination in the body, along with the colon, kidneys, skin and lungs. The liver's role in detoxification is to change or detoxify harmful toxins into substances that can be safely eliminated from the body via stool, urine and sweat.

The liver transforms fat-soluble toxins into a water-soluble state so they can be released through the kidneys (for elimination through the urine) and into the bile (for elimination through the colon). This transformation occurs through a 2-phase enzyme process:

(a) Phase 1 Detoxification

In phase 1, 50 to 100 enzymes metabolize or chemically break down toxins absorbed from the intestinal tract. One of the following three things happens to toxins when they are metabolized in Phase 1:

1. They are neutralized and released into bile.
2. Made water-soluble so the kidneys can excrete them in urine.
3. Converted to a more chemically active form called active intermediaries. These intermediaries are often even more toxic than the original substances and, therefore, can do significant damage (especially by producing free radicals) if they are not promptly eliminated.

(b) Phase 2 Detoxification

In phase 2, the active intermediaries must be converted a second time where they are combined with amino acids, mineral or other biochemicals that are water-soluble. It is only after the additional. Phase 2 conversion that active intermediaries can safely be excreated in the urine and the bile.

Do you experience the following symptoms?

Jaundice Pale stools Pain in the right side Depressed appetite Loss of energy Fatigue Metallic taste in mouth Digestive complaints Skin problems Constipation Headaches Discoloration on whites of the eyes Nausea Emotional excess Drowsiness after eating Difficulty losing weight Allergies

Toxins may build up in the body if either phase of detoxification is inefficient or overloaded.

People, however, most likely to experience liver-related health problems are those who have rapid Phse 1 activity, but depressed Phase 2 function.

Here active intermediaries accumulate, often causing more damage than the original toxins due to their increased toxicity level.

What nutrients help to cleanse the liver?

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is very important while on a liver-cleanse because they are high in fiber, water, vitamins and minerals. Water will help to dilute toxins and fiber will escort them out of the body. Vitamins and minerals are needed for Phase 1 detoxification, as they will ensure that the Phase 1 enzyme system is working well. Powerful antioxidants help combat the damaging free radicals generated from toxins and Phase 1 detoxification. Nutrients dense super foods in the form of green drinks (eg, Spirulina drink) are in excellent addition to the daily diet, providing the full spectrum of nutrients in a usable form.

Amino acids play vital roles in Phase 2 liver detoxification. One of them, named Glutamine, "plays a chief role in ammonia detoxification, as well as helping to maintain mucosal integrity of the gastrointestinal tract". Soybean extracts, fish, organic eggs and blue-green algae likes spirulina are excellent sources of these important amino acids.

Way for Total Health

Achieving Balance SYstem (ABS)

Balancing your diet and home life is a challenge faced by many of us every day as we juggle the many demands with our time. No matter who we are, achieving balance us the only way for total health. However, people become weak and unhealthy mainly due to 3 reasons: Hormonal imbalance, Nutritional imbalance and Emotional imbalance. This is where DNMCs product philosophy comes in. In compliance with rigorous QC testing, DNMC proudly launched 3 special product ranges - JUVANE™ , S3K Organic Spirulina and Senses Range. Our program will help you bring the balance back into your life by restoring and recharging your personal life batteries.

Since we were born, we are continuously taking in nutrients as well as toxins. Toxins are inhaled, absorbed through the skin and ingested every day from polluted air, water and food. Our exposure to toxins is increased through smoking, overindulging in alcohol, taking medications, making poor dietary decisions, not drinking enough water and using household chemicals. Toxins are passed from the intestines to the liver (via the portal vein), where they can be detoxified. As a result, detoxified is the first and most important step for total health. Weighing about 4 pounds, the liver is the largest gland of the body. Liver serves many functions in digestion, energy production, as well as a detoxifier. Therefore, maintaining proper liver function is the first and most important step for achieving balance, followed by colon & kidney cleansing, as toxic substances need to be excreted in forms of stool and urine via colon & kidneys. Hormonal balance comes into picture after that, as the liver needs to function well for complete replenishment of HGH, the most important peptide hormone for youth and beauty.

Absorbing should then be enhanced after completing the first three steps for internal balancing. Proper dosage form comes into consideration. Generally speaking, liquid is easier to be absorbed than solid form.

External balance can then be proceeded after internal balance has been taken care. Too much of protein-based diets will cause acidity. The major reason of chronic diseases nowadays. As a result, intake alkaline food will balance the body's pH to slightly alkaline. Finally, complete nutrients strengthen body systems and eventually head towards the final goal - Achieving Balance.
