leave a comment about why you want to win my bestselling book but this morning we're going to be looking at your liver and your liver is the organ that is orchestrating the detox the liver is often called the project manager because everything that goes into the body goes first to the liver and everything that comes out of the body comes out under the jurisdiction of the liver so what we're going to first of all do have a look at what goes into the body and what the liver does with it so we're going to have
a look at foods and never in the history of mankind have human beings eaten so many carbohydrates I think you'll agree with me we've become High carbohydrates consumers you just go into any supermarket and there's usually a whole aisle devoted to bread a whole o devoted to cereal and almost a whole oil devoted to Pasta there's certainly a a large section devoted to to cakes now I'm just going to say cakes Etc because this takes into consideration uh croissants muffins cookies bis biscuits well we call what you call cookies we call those biscuits also another
high carbohydrate is pizza rice rice is another carbohydrate potatoes and products made with potatoes abound there's your French fries your chips you call them potato crisps or chips and then last and certainly least in nutritive value is the pure crystallized acid extracted from the sugar cane plant would you agree with me but if you live on the farm this is not fast food all this has to be made what's the fast food down on the farm are fruits and vegetables that's your that's your best fast food shop is your fruit and vegetable shop all of
these Foods in the gastrointestinal tract break down to a singular structure called glucose and glucose gets absorbed out of the the gut into the blood goes on the M1 Main Highway portal vein straight to the liver and then the liver determines what happens to that glucose and the first place it goes is to the cell so the glucose goes into the cell under the action of insulin it goes through a 20 step pathway and that 20 step pathway gives us two units of energy the end result of the 20 step pathway is a chemical form
of glucose called pyruvate and pyate is the chemical form of glucose that gets fed into what's often called the PowerHouse of the cell because this eight-step pathway delivers to US 36 units of energy the focus is on the liver the body's detox Commander everything that enters is filtered through this organ but here's the harsh truth our diets are killing it supermarkets are stocked with carbohydrate heavy foods like bread pasta and sugar-filled treats overwhelming the liver with glucose most of it gets converted into fat leading to the silent epidemic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease people don't
realize that pizza chips and even rice are flooding the liver with more than it can handle the liver which should be managing detox is instead drowning in fat fruits and vegetables on the other hand give the liver a break promoting detox rather than fat buildup it's time to stop sabotaging our bodies with carbs and opt for natural foods that heal the liver can recover but only if we act now by embracing real nutritious food you see on this High carboh hydrate diet the poor old pancreas is getting screamed out all day more insulin more insulin
more insulin but on this diet the pancreas is getting a break and it starts to revive people with high cholesterol levels came back to normal and what are we told we've got to do if we want to get cholesterol levels down stop the meat buttercream cheese eggs am I right yeah and the and the drug that's true his the cholesterol levels were coming down Atkin scratched his his cancer patients were going into remission do you remember yesterday and I do admit I am guilty of inflammation overload but cancer cells consume 15 times the glucose of
any other cell so when you drastically stop this high glucose Foods the cancer cells can actually self-destruct when they're not getting the glucose they need what Atkins discovered is that these three food groups are the essential food groups what is essential mean body doesn't make you got to put it in fiber is essential because our gut needs to be swept every day that's what fiber does essential because it's in the fiber part of the food that you'll often get a concentration of your nutrients did you know that the highest concentration of nutrients in the potato
is just under the skin and when you peel your potatoes you lose that we're very thankful to Jamie Oliver who got people to leave the skins on their potatoes you see on this high carb diet the pancreas is constantly being yelled at for more insulin it's exhausted but when we shift away from these glucose heavy Foods the pancreas finally gets a break and starts to recover people with high cholesterol their levels dropped and guess what they weren't avoiding buttercream or eggs we've been told to fear these foods but it's the carbs that are the real
villain cholesterol came down and even cancer patients saw their tumors shrink why because cancer cells thrive on glucose 15 times more than normal cells cut off the glucose Supply and the cancer starts to starve the real essential Foods butter eggs cream they don't spike your insulin and they support overall health fiber is crucial too sweeping the gut clean and delivering nutrients even something as simple as eating potatoes with the skin Boost nutrition the truth fatty liver thrives on sugar not healthy fats where is dandelion lion is the king of the jungle and I think dandelion
is the king of the the herbs in the garden because dandelion is a bitter herb if you were to to bite it and eat it it's it's very very bitter and you've heard the old saying sweet to the mouth bitter to the stomach sweet to the mouth bitter to the stomach think of that with sugar sugar is sweet to the mouth but very bitter to the stomach whereas your bitter herbs like dandelion they're bitter to the mouth but very sweet to the stomach because it's the bitter herbs that stimulate the liver to release to release
its um digestive enzy and also it can the bitterness causes the stomach to release its digestive enzymes too dandelion is the liver herb your liver is a recoverable organ it's the only organ in the body that has the ability to regrow or recover that's why they can do a liver transplant on just a little bit of liver and the the liver will regrow and I'm so glad M that God made the liver a recoverable organ because some of the things that people are doing to their body in ignorance mostly granted if we didn't have a
recoverable organ some of us wouldn't even live past our 20s but God in his great wisdom and mercy made the liver to be a recoverable organ and these herbs help stimulate the liver to regrow and to recover cancer cannot get a hold on the body if the liver is working in Optimum performance now how can we eat this how can we eat the dandelion well there's a recipe in Europe a friend of mine went through Europe traveling for a while and she stayed at some of her relatives cuz she's German descent and she said that
they make this wonderful hot potato salad they cook the potatoes and then they chop them up hot into hunks and then they chop up heaps of dandelion and then they put Lots of olive oil crushed garlic and salt just imagine that doesn't that sound yum now those smooth um blandish potatoes covered with the delicious olive oil that makes anything taste nice and that also calms down the garlic and it and it also calms down the bitterness of the dandelion so every mouthful you eat is mostly potato with that lovely oil on it and salt and
a little garlic and a little bit of dandelion it's actually delicious it sort of balances out to a delicious hot potato salad now this lady suffered from Iron problem she said I had no iron challenges when I was in Europe she said I think I was it's because I was eating the Hot Potato dandelion salad every day now what you can also do you can buy um you can buy the Dand root that's been roasted so that's like a dandong coffee and you can buy delicious drink in the health food shop and we sell it
at Misty called chai dandelion a lot of people will drink chai tea but the tea of course has the tannin and the caffein in it but chai dandelion is a delicious drink a lot of people don't like herb teas because they say they're tasteless and Bland not chai dandelion chai dandelion is a delicious drink and it has a whole lot of herbs and spices with it to make give it that beautiful flavor so um you can have the fresh dandelion scattered through your salads or you can make your hot potato salad with lots of dandelion
in it the leaves or you can uh buy the dandelion root roasted and uh have that as a as a hot drink let me tell you dandelion is the king of herbs especially for your liver it's bitter to the mouth but incredibly sweet to the stomach and it's exactly what your liver needs to recover from fatty liver we've been brainwashed into thinking sugar- filled foods are the way but they're silently destroying your liver dandelion on the other hand stimulates the liver to release essential digestive enzymes promoting detox and regeneration now how do you consume it
you can scatter fresh dandelion leaves in your salads balancing bitterness with other greens or for a powerful tonic try roasted dandelion root as a tea it's a fantastic liver cleanser it stimulates bile production which helps the liver break down fats flushing out toxins and you might be surprised to see that the first alkaline food I'm putting up here is the humble lemon and you might say no the lemon's acid it is and it's acid where it should be there's only one part in the body that should be acid you know where that is stomach stomach
it must be acid if someone says I've got a very acid stomach I say praise God because if you don't have an acid stomach you can't break your proteins down how do you know it's acid well it's sore it's well you shouldn't feel it I can't feel it means you haven't got a thick mucosa lining on the stomach we're going to look at water tomorrow and that's made up of water maybe it's because you're dehydrated remember you got to investigate now the lemon is acid where it should be be that's why you'll find that most
of our salad dressings have lemon in them but when it is broken down in the gut and the minerals are dispersed and absorbed into the blood and thus to the tissues it has an alkaline effect because the lemon is high in the alkaline minerals which is sodium and potassium calcium magnesium and iron these are the alkaline minerals and the lemon is high in the alkaline minerals don't you love the lemon every home should have a lemon tree and if you're in a unit you can have a lemon tree in a pot on your veranda and
one one liver herb that many people don't realize it is is the Lemon so a great drink in the morning remember you wake up have your water have another bit of water and then when you come near the kitchen have the kettle boiled and put juice of a lemon in some water with a little bit of boiling water on top and have a warm lemon drink fantastic uh liver tonic early in the morning also the lemon is an internal alkalizer so that will do a two a few things too one liver herb that many people
don't realize is incredibly powerful is the humble lemon in the morning I always recommend starting with a simple lemon drink after you wake up have your water then boil the kettle and squeeze half a lemon into a cup with some warm water not boiling this makes for a fantastic liver tonic lemons are more than just acidic they're powerful internal alkalizers they help balance the body's pH which is crucial for Liver Health bile is essential for breaking down fats in the liver so when you drink lemon tea daily you're giving your liver the tools it needs
to recover and function properly it's simple natural and it works now we're going to have a look at Ginger Ginger can be used internally and ginger can be used externally internally it's an anti-inflammatory but it's probably mostly known for its anti-nausea effect if you buy car sickness or seasickness tablets it's compressed Ginger now the easiest way I think to have this is to grate it so you grate it on that little grater and you'll grate about a teaspoon and you put it in a Little Teapot and pour boiling water on it and let it sit
probably 10 minutes now that might be too strong for you but I love it I love it like that if it's too strong you just water it down a little bit if someone's very cold maybe they've been caught out in the cold or something and it's very hard to warm them up give them a cup of hot ginger tea and it will warm them up very nicely so it can be used for nausea it can be used to warm a person if they're chilled or cold and you saw too it is one of the recipes
in the flu bomb I was at a function was a health seminar and in the break everyone went and had their herb teas and there was a a girl with a tiny little grater grating Ginger and I said ah Ginger she said I'm an Entertainer I'm a singer she said I was in Greece last year and I lost my voice and a little a little Greek Lady made me a hot ginger tea she said I sung that night so I said she said I travel with my little greater everywhere I go so very nice on
a sore throat or horse throat now let's talk about Ginger Ginger can be used both internally and externally but it's best known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties if you've ever had car sickness or seasickness those tablets you take they're just compressed Ginger I love to grate about a teaspoon of fresh ginger put it in a teapot and pour boiling water over it let it steep for about 10 minutes strong but powerful if it's too intense you can always dilute it ginger tea is fantastic for warming the body especially if someone's been caught in the
cold but here's where it gets interesting Ginger's anti-inflammatory power also helps the liver especially in cases of fatty liver when you drink ginger tea regular L it stimulates bile flow which helps break down fats in the liver reducing fat buildup plus it fights the inflammation that comes with fatty liver a simple cup of ginger tea can do wonders for Liver Health and overall detoxification we we are also different we're all a combination of birth genetics experiences and that's why I believe everyone should be their own doctor there is another herb that you can take on
the inside to get inflammation down and that's turmeric turmeric is a very powerful herb internally to get the inflammation down how often or how so teaspoon three times a day sure if it's the fresh turmeric you would uh triple that dose if it's dried then you bring it back now let's dive into teric this herb is incredibly powerful for reducing inflammation internally and it's a must for anyone dealing with chronic conditions including fatty liver I recommend a teaspoon of turmeric three times a day if you're using fresh turmeric you'd triple the amount compared to dried
