Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 The connection between liver and obesity was discussed by this author in several messages on obesity. It is essential to convert the liver from a fat generating organ to a fat burning organ, was the argument used. A new viewpoint supported by scientific research now supports this experience. Most of us know that there is strong connection between obesity and Thyroid gland. Most women after childbirth are unable to gain the old pre-pregnancy weight as glands do not return to their old state, partly due to childbirth intervention and lack of ayurvedic post-partum 42 days protocol. Our thyroid gland produces two main hormones: T4 (also called thyroxine) and T3 (also called triiodothyronine). These hormones help to control our metabolic rate, that is the rate at which our body burns calories. They also have a huge bearing on our energy levels and maintenance of normal body temperature. T4 is not the active thyroid hormone; it must be converted into T3 in our body in order to exert its effects. The majority of this conversion does not occur in our thyroid gland. Most T4 to T3 conversion happens in our liver, kidneys and muscles. If we have a fatty liver or a sluggish liver, this conversion will not be effective. This can leave us feeling tired, depressed, puffy, overweight and with dry skin and thinning scalp hair. Indeed we now have a thyroid problem caused by a faulty liver. If one is taking thyroid hormone medication in the form of thyroxine, it too must be converted into the active form in his body. Therefore one is not feeling much better despite thyrod medication, it is liver that needs to be to blamed! We must improv the health of our liver if we want healthy thyroid hormone levels. The secret why many lost weight after liver detox became clear by this explaination. Dr Bhate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I know for a fact that L Carnitine will emulsify the fat in the liver but I not sure if that will detoxify it… I think I would use Dandelion root for that…. I would think the combination of both should help but I would cut out the Dandelion root after a couple of weeks… Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Gentian has many uses, and is big in many liver disorders… I can't see anywhere it is said to remove heat form the liver, but it stands to reason it would, since it is a bitter herb… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Sheela First of all - EXERCISE. That is exercise other than working around the house or any other kind of work. Aerobic exercise is great. Stomach crunches are good as are leg raises. Work up to at least 3 minutes a day without stopping. Do yoga or any other kind of exercise. You may not like this but it has everything. Yogi Green Mush Diet 2-3 servings 2-3 zucchini's / cut into approx. ½ " slices 2 sticks of celery / cut into approx. ½ " slices 1 handful of greens chard, kale, spinach, Parsley or other greens coarsely chopped (Chard of Many Colors – Greens For Cooking): available at Trader Joes in the produce section. 1 tsp. fresh mint leaves ½-1 tsp. black pepper 1 cup cottage cheese Place zucchini and celery in steamer with enough water underneath to steam for 15 minutes. After 10 minutes add greens and cook for 5 more minutes. Cook everything until tender. Test with a fork for tenderness and turn off when tender and bright green in color. Immediately take off burner and remove steamer from pot (save steam water) and let veggies cool slightly 10 minutes. Place steams in blender with steam water,mint and black pepper and blend until smooth. Eat this 2 times a day for 40 days and nothing else except herb teas.
