Because there are six detoxification pathways in the liver alone, a weakness here or there is likely to be covered. An injury or illness can wipe out 90 percent of the liver's ability to function, and yet life will go on and the liver will recover. How amazing is that? For this reason, the liver is said to have a functional reserve. And it is this functional reserve that must be protected and that can be impaired by poor digestion, poor nutrition, a weakness in bile excretion, a genetic abnormality, or excessive exposure to toxins. It's critical that we care for and protect this indispensable organ as best we can. Liver Chi for Hepa s A, B, C and Other Liver Condi ons Liver function can be greatly enhanced by using Liver Chi, a natural, herbal product made by Chi Enterprise. Clinical reports from China and Japan show that Liver Chi stimulates the production of interferon, helping the liver to recover from various liver conditions. Liver Chi, which enhances T-cell activity and immunity, is the most popular Chinese herbal formula in Japan. Liver Chi produces great results without any side effects. Recovery from abdominal pain and vomiting occurs 26% faster when Liver Chi is taken. Results from clinical studies show that Liver Chi promotes recovery between 21.00% and 42.75% in conditions such as acidic stomach, bitter and dry mouth, poor appetite and irregular pulse. Liver Chi is an effective medicine in combating fatty livers. It increases fat metabolism and can prevent fat sediments from forming in the liver, preventing cirrhosis. Liver Chi's high effectiveness in the management of fatty livers and cirrhosis is seen especially in long term effects such as reduction of blood cholesterol and the normalization of liver functions. The Importance of Bile Bile is your liver's main vehicle for getting rid of excess substances, both good and bad; it's a complex fluid containing bile salts, electrolytes, old blood cells, cholesterol, excess hormones, and of course toxins. Once produced in the liver, it then flows into ducts leading to the gallbladder – much like tributaries leading to a river. is bile eventually makes its way to the small intestine, where it promotes the digestion of oils and fats. ese can then be used by your body to build cells and bigger structures like hormones. About one quart of this fat-emulsifying substance is produced every day and stored temporarily in the gall bladder, to be released when ingested dietary fats make its way to the intestines. In addition to emulsifying fat, bile also lubricates the intestines, assists in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and promotes peristalsis (wavelike muscular movements in the intestines that keep your bowels moving on their way to the exit). Also, some toxins are carried out of the body in the bile through the stool. Because bile links your liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract, people with liver problems frequently have gallbladder issues and vice versa. ey are also likely to have digestive problems. You have probably heard about gallstones, which affect up to 20 million Americans and are twice as common among women. Gallstone formation is thought to be due to an imbalance of bile salts and minerals, dehydration, toxins, and excess cholesterol in the bile. In addition, a high-fat, low-fiber diet and pregnancy have been associated with gallstone production. When the delicate ratio that keeps bile in liquid form is imbalanced, crystals (stones) form. ey can be a real medical problem, blocking the flow of bile from the liver and gallbladder, sometimes obstructing the pancreas and intestines.
