The Liver is Like an Oli Filter of a Car

The Liver is like the car's oil filter. Poorly digested food, sugar, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, heavy metals (like lead and mercury), pesticides and pollutions are all filtered through your liver. Your liver makes bile (a bitter, alkaline substance) that is stored in your gall bladder between meals. After eating, your gall bladder releases the bile, helping get rid of toxic waste and digesting fats. The pancreas secretes the pancreatic juice, often together with the bile, into the upper part of the intestines, and is a powerful aid in digestion.

A doctor supervised 7 day cleanse helps to clean the whole body. Milk Thistle seeds are what herbalists have used for 2000 years to treat chronic liver disease and protect the liver against toxins. Milk Thistle is a good way to start a liver cleanse. It helps to get the stagnation moving out of the liver and perform better.
Maintain your body, and liver... like you would your car!

I am sure you have heard:
An Apple a day, keeps the doctor away!

Names of Sugar

NO ONE should use Sugar; it destroys the body!
Also stay away from the packets that are pink, blue or yellow. Artificial sugar causes cancer. Try a natural, no calorie sweetener from the stevia leaf ~ Truvia.
One of the worst offenders of sugar that distroys the body is soft drinks. They are very high in bone-dissolving phosphorus. When sugar is added to phosphorus, the volume of carbonation is increased and it kills the body's hydrochloric acid, so it takes the digestive juices away from where it needs to be.

Eat for Your Blood Type

The concept to "Eat Right For Your Type" - or "Blood Type Diet " is based on research conducted by Peter D'Adamo, ND, who claims that people fare better (including with weight management) whentailoring their diet to their specific blood types. He advises:
Type A types should basically stick to fruits and vegetables (high carbs / low fat). They have thicker blood than other blood types, a sensitive immune system, and should not consume dairy products, animal fats and meats. They are at a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.

Type B types should consume a balanced diet (fruits and vegetables, grains, fish, dairy, meat, but avoid chicken). They have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming everyday types of diseases, including heart disease and cancer.

Type AB types should consume a mostly vegetarian diet, and only on rare occasions some fish, meat(no chicken),and dairy.

Type O types should basically stick to a high protein diet (including red meat), low carbs, & enriched with fruits and vegetables. They should limit the intake of wheat germ, whole wheat products, corn, and avoid dairy products and most nuts. Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high stomach acid (leading to ulcers), and thinner blood with greater resistance to blood clotting.
