“How’s your liver today?”
-An old Russian greeting

My assumption is that they were referring to how much vodka they drank last night. I’m assuming you aren’t drinking vodka on that kind of scale, but there are lots of other ways to pollute and toxify your liver.

The liver is the most resilient organ you have. It has to be, because it takes the most abuse and is responsible for cleaning your body of the garbage that comes in.

5 ways you can totally pollute your liver:

1. Alcohol … that’s an obvious one
2. Smoking … and second hand smoke
3. Pesticides … this is particularly nasty, you get this if you aren’t consuming organic food
4. Medications … they plan medication doses on how fast the liver breaks them down. This is why some medications don’t want you eating grapefruit, because it slows down liver clearing.
5. Partially hydrogenated oils … you have to look for these on the label, on the back label in the ingredients. These are so nasty that they can take months to be cleared.

There are lots more ways, but I think you get the message. There are many common and universal ways your liver comes in contact with pollution. So now what?

Your liver has to get rid of that gunk. To do it, it needs foods and herbs. Things like kale, Brussels sprouts, beets, eggs, contribute special nutritional components that your liver uses to break the junk up into manageable pieces and gets the garbage out.

We also take it a step farther with LivCo form Mediherb. This is a herbal formula that takes into account liver cleaning herbs and the most important herb “Milk Thistle”. Milk Thistle has been used for liver health darn near, forever. It has been know for thousands of years to help heal the liver.

This is one of the herbal supplements I take everyday. Why? remember the simple toxin list above. I get hit with at least one of those everyday. Keeping the body as clean as possible is important to me. Toxins lead to obesity and much nastier things that start with a big “C”.

LivCo was formulated primarily for liver detoxification. It helps supply the body some of those good elements for both phases of liver deotxification. Here are a few things that may give you some pause and consider using this supplement:

• Headaches
• Allergies
• Skin Problems
• Food intolerance’s
• Nausea
• Constipation
• Alcohol consumption

If LivCo is something you want to talk more about or order just send me an email docaltman [at] gmail [dot] com
