Do You Have An Angry Liver?

     I wrote that title with a point in mind.  If one appreciates the importance of the Liver, and the fact that its chief emotion is that of Anger, when one suffers from imbalances of the Liver, there is a good chance the emotion of Anger, or one of its cohorts is present.  Anger can be expressed outwardly or repressed and kept in, but either way it will be present.  Certainly it is much better to express your anger in a healthy fashion, as anger acts as a great motivator.  Its natural emotional expression supports movement.  It's used by the body to move things around when normal processes aren't working properly.  For example, the body will use anger to clear a blocked artery or bowel. 

     Pathologically though, the emotional expression is explosiveness.  Involved anger fueled by other emotions or belief systems will cause extensive damage, such as ruptured arteries or broken bones.  Surplus will also be stored in the connective tissue to be released later.  Does the condition Fibromyalgia sound familiar to anyone?  This is stored emotion within the connective tissue leading to pain because it isn't being released.  A common form of pathological emotion is when it is used to 'move' something in our way.  A person may be behaving in a way we do not like, so we use anger to move them out of the way.

     Appreciating other aspects of the Liver are important for overall health.  The Liver can be equated to the "Grand Central Station" of the body, as everything will eventually need to pass through the Liver at one point or another.  The Liver/Gallbladder together function like a partnership and are known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as the Wood Element.  They represent the consciousness of the Soul, the storage site of all experience.  The Liver is responsible for planning, with metabolic activity and life adaptation.  Muscles associated with the Liver are the Rhomboids that hold the shoulder-blades back against the body wall, and the Pectoralis Major Sternal muscles of the chest.  The body areas governed by the Liver are the muscles, tendons and ligaments.  Appreciating that piece, you should also appreciate that All Arthritis is a by-product of too many toxins in the Liver.  It is because of these toxins overwhelming the Liver, that causes them to be deposited in the tendons and ligaments of the joints, leading to irritation and inflammation.  For that reason, it is vitally important for the health of your joints that you keep your Liver clean and balanced.

     The main sense organ associated with the Liver are the eyes and the sense of sight.   People who develop a need for glasses as they get older need to appreciate that it is because they have too many toxins in their Liver, and it is manifesting in the eyes.  Most vision problems as one gets older can be equated to Arthritis of the eye.  The lens doesn't expand and contract as it once did.  It has become more rigid.  This can be helped by restoring balance to the Liver.  The fluid association for the Liver are the tears, as this helps to bathe the eyes.  The taste associated with the Wood Element is sour.  The other emotions associated with the Liver that I mentioned earlier are Irrationality, Frustration and Aggression.  Experiencing any of these on a regular basis will create Liver stress.  If you appreciate that there is a natural flow of energy associated with the body, the energy is highest in the Liver between the hours of 1 am and 3 am.  Therefore, if you are one who finds yourself waking between those hours of the night, it indicates that you are having trouble keeping your Liver energy balanced.  Possible causes of this energy imbalance are usually due to experiencing one or more of the emotions just mentioned, on a regular basis.  A good solution to these imbalances would be to come to the office and allow me to restore balance to your Liver by utilizing a very effective and simple technique called Neuro Emotional Technique.  Through NET, I can eliminate the underlying reason for why you are storing these emotions within your Liver and the areas associated with the organ.  This will allow you to release them in an agreeable way.  I will also help you to develop a plan to change yourself, so you aren't experiencing those emotions on a regular basis.

     Probably the most common condition associated with Liver imbalance is elevated cholesterol levels.  Since the Liver manufactures cholesterol, too much indicates a Liver imbalance.  This is why when the MD's recommend "Statin drugs," they will want to monitor the enzyme levels within the liver to be sure Liver pathology isn't starting to occur.  Appreciate that Statin drugs suppress the normal functioning of the Liver which will lead to other complications. This is not something I recommend doing to yourself.   As mentioned earlier, All Arthritis is controlled by the Liver.  This includes the Inflammatory ones like Rheumatoid, Metabolic types like Gout, and Degenerative Osteoarthritis, or Old Age Arthritis.  What can a person do if they suffer with these conditions?   Clean up the Liver!  Doing this while increasing your Omega 3 and 6 fats found in vegetables, nuts/seeds and seafood will go a long way toward naturally fighting off the painful effects of these arthritic conditions, as these products promote anti-inflammation.

What Should I Do If I Suspect Liver Problems?

     Do you suffer from Arthritis, eye weakness or vision problems, pain between your shoulder blades, Tendonitis, Bursitis, difficulty sleeping between 1 and 3 am, or have high cholesterol?  If so, you have Liver stress.  If you suspect that you have Liver problems, you should come into the office and have The Liver Detox Evaluation.  It's simply letting me evaluate some of the different reflexes associated with the Liver.  If the two of us discover a Liver weakness, we can then determine, through simple muscle tests, all the different components to the Liver weakness.  This could include Emotions, Toxicity, Nutritional Deficiencies, Allergies, Structural components or Physiological Imbalances.  And if any or all are contributing to the Liver weakness,  then we can develop a plan of attack to naturally resolve any of these imbalances, and restore balance to your Liver

     You also might consider doing our Dr. Supervised Detoxification Program through the office which is designed to clean out all of your body's filtration systems.  These include the Liver/Gallbladder System along with the Lung/Large Intestine/Skin System and the Kidneys.  A more complete description of the program will be offered in next months issue, as April will be Detoxification Month.  This will be the best time of year for a Detoxification Program, as the energy for the Liver/Gallbladder System will be at its highest during that month.  And with the expanding and growing energy of Spring, represented by the Liver/Gallbladder System, why not allow the natural energy flow occurring there to assist you in some Spring Cleaning.  Look for next months issue to truly find out what you can do to detoxify your whole body, while restoring balance to your Liver in the process.  If you want to get an early start, the Detoxification Season begins Thursday, March 21st, the first day of Spring.
