Louis Pasteur discovered that some microorganisms cause disease, and that eliminating the microorganisms brings healing. Other scientists countered his discovery with the idea that a healthy body could expel those microorganisms, and therefore, the diseases they cause. Louis Pasteur’s discovery has increasingly caught more attention in the medical world since his time than the counter argument.
Science has shown that both statements are true. Some microorganisms cause disease if they are not eliminated or expelled, and healthy bodies are able to fight disease more successfully than unhealthy bodies. Since both statements are true, it must be true that their principles work in conjunction with each other, rather than opposed. The fact that one of the principles has been lost in the shadow of the other has led to increased health problems over time.
The liver acts as a filter for the body. It filters harmful things like bacteria, fungi, toxins from food and the environment for our bodies. Liver disease is often, if not always, caused by a buildup of these harmful substances.
Liver disease herbs are unique in that they fulfill both the principle or eradicating dangerous organisms, and building the immune system. Herbs have antibiotic properties, are antiviral, antiseptic, etc. They attack any and all harmful organisms in the body. Usually alkaline, liver disease herbs create an environment in the body that is hostile to harmful bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The body becomes an environment in which these bugs cannot continue to live. This, in itself, is one way the herbs fulfill both tasks.
Herbs also contain multiple vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Vitamins, of course, are essential nutrients to health and vitality. Minerals keep our bodies alkaline and balance our acid levels. Enzymes aid in the digestion of food. This is another way liver disease herbs help build our immune systems.
The word “vitamin” originally was a combination of the words “vital” and “mineral”. Since then it has morphed into the label for any compound which cannot be amply produced by a body (human or animal), and must therefore be absorbed from food. Vitamins are known to regulate hormonal activity, help with regeneration of tissues, and build bones. Some of them help us better absorb other vitamins, minerals, and can aid in digestion, among other organ activity.
Sometimes our bodies can become acidic from certain foods. Stress can also be a factor, and our environment with the pollution in the air nowadays can, too. When our bodies become too acidic, our health begins to decline. We become more vulnerable to disease. When we don’t get enough minerals, toxins start storing in fat cells as a protection against them remaining in the bloodstream. Bringing our bodies to a more alkaline state is the most efficient way to flush our bodies of these toxins and reduce the extra fat cells. This can also flush the liver, since it can become acidic as well.
Enzymes are essential to digestion. A lot of herbs and vegetables contain the correct enzymes to specifically digest their sugars and other materials. Our bodies contain certain enzymes, too. The problem with not supplementing our diet with foods that contain their own enzymes is that our bodies do not remanufacture most of the enzymes we are born with. When the enzymes in our bodies are completely exhausted, there are no more to replenish us. The more enzymes we get from our food, the longer we will be able to properly digest our food.
These are three important ways that liver disease herbs support our immune systems, and attack harmful organisms. They provide a balanced method for obtaining and maintaining good health.
