Liver Rescue [antikvár]

FOREWORDEvery time I read one of Antiiony William's books or listen to one of his radio shows, I learn something new. Something that rings true that they don't yet teach in medical school. Not only that, I actually apply a great deal of what I've learned to my own life. An example is a smoothie from his first book, Medical Medium. In that book, Anthony gives recipes for breakfast smoothies that you can begin each day with as part of his 28-Day Healing Cleansesomething I followed several years ago. My variation of one particular recipe has become a "go to" staple for me, my granddaughter, and many of my friends. It never fails to elicit rave reviews. And nowafter reading Liver RescueI am happier than ever that I enjoy this elixir regularly. Not only does it hydrate my tissues optimally, it also helps detox my liver each time I drink it.I won't keep you in suspense. Here it is: 2 to 3 organic bananas, V/2 to 2 cups frozen wild Maine blueberries (I buy these in bulk and keep them handy), a scoop of organic frozen cherries. Then I add water to get the desired consistency (usually 2 to 3 cups) and liquefy it in a blender. This ends up making 2 large servings or 4 small ones. If I don't have guests, I pour the unused portion into a glass Mason jar and keep it for later.Anthony's book Medical Medium Life-Changing Foods was, as the title says, life changing for me, just like his first book. From this beautiful resource, I learned all about the incredible energy, healing information, and spiritual lessons contained in all fruits and vegetables. This knowledge has made eating even the lowly potato (which represents grounding and humility) a far more enjoyable experience. I no longer mindlessly consume food. I now enter into a grateful relationship with it. (Not always, of course, but far more than I used to.)And now, through reading Medical Medium Liver Rescue, I have more respect for my liver and everyone else'sthan I ever did before. As a medical doctor, my introduction to liver function was pretty much limited to newborn jaundice and cirrhosis of the liver in the many alcoholics I cared for as a young intern. I also witnessed the deadly effects on the liver of the first experimental bypass surgeries back in the 1970s. Many of those patients died of complications that included liver failure. Obviously bypass surgery has come a long way since that time.But here's the thing. Medical science still doesn't appreciate what the liver actually does
