What Harmful Deposits in your Liver have to do with Heart Disease
The toxic chemicals in your blood that irritate the walls of your arteries, enter your blood stream from your digestive tract, lungs and are absorbed through your skin. Then they arrive at your Liver where they should be handled, but they are NOT! They remain in circulation, where they continually irritate the walls of your arteries.
They are left in your blood, because the function of your Liver is reduced. How did this reduced function of your liver happen?
THE ANATOMY OF THE LIVER If we imagine the veins and arteries that carry our blood as a closed circuit racetrack, we could well think of the liver as a required "pit stop" on the circuit. The blood must pass through this checkpoint, and when it does it is prepared for another circuit. The liver is designed to do this efficiently. The liver is composed of about 100,000 liver lobules. A lobule is made of plates that contain a number of liver cells. Between these plates of liver cells are the passageways that allow blood to flow around the liver cells. Between the passageways & cells are special cells called 'Kupffer' cells, that can digest bacteria and other foreign matter found in the blood. When blood flows between the plates, these cells process harmful and unnecessary matter to what the Kidneys can eliminate from the blood or directly put it in bile for elimination through the intestines.
Diet, refining of foods & chemicals - used in processing foods, raising animals you eat, drugs you take, etc. cause: 1) Stones to form which block the bile ducts. This makes the amount of bile entering the small intestines less than what it should be, which interferes with proper digestion & the elimination of these toxic chemicals. With gallstones, much less cholesterol leaves the body and cholesterol levels may rise. Retention of bile salts results in injury to biological membranes throughout your body. 2) The liver itself to accumulate deposits, reducing its ability to do its job.
