Are
you overweight?
Is
your diet high in saturated fats?
Do
you eat lots of processed foods or drink alcohol?
These
common behaviors put your liver at risk and are all cause for a cleanse. But
they're not the only signs that you may need to take better care of your liver. Along with the heart, the liver is one of the "hardest working"
organs in your body - and leaving it uncleaned can put it at risk for becoming
a fatty liver (and you don't have to drink alcohol to have a fatty liver!). Here
are 10 reasons your liver might need a cleanse:
- Abdominal bloating
- Pain or discomfort around your liver
- A pot belly or excessive abdominal fat
- Trouble digesting fatty foods
- Your gallbladder was removed
- Acid reflux or heartburn
- Dark spots on your skin
- Overheating or excessive perspiration
- Itchy, blotchy skin
- Unexplained weight gain
Located
on the upper right side of your abdomen (below the diaphragm and right of the
stomach), is your liver. Your liver plays a key role in detoxification and
digestion...duties of the liver include:
Protein synthesis
Production of biochemicals
Glycogen storage
Decomposition of red blood cells
Hormone production
With
so much at stake cleansing your liver regularly will help keep the vital organs
functioning at normal levels The benefits of a cleanse will:
Provide nutritional support to the liver and gallbladder
Promote cleansing and detoxification mediated by the liver
Support digestive function
Support the hepatic system

Recipe to help people suffering with Cancer
A
woman who remained anonymous that lived in Bosnia, wanted to share her
recipe to help people around the world that have suffered the ravages of
the horrid disease, cancer.
This recipe only includes two ingredients, ginger and honey, that is extremely easy to prepare. The Bosnian woman claims this recipe brought her back to life. She suffered from cancer of the endocrine glands and because of this she was connected to machines for 3 weeks. However, she managed to heal herself without chemotherapy or an operation, thanks to this medicine.
To prepare this recipe you will need 2 large roots of ginger. Clean the ginger and grind them into very small pieces.
Next, mix the ginger into around 6 cups of raw organic honey.
Put this mixture in an airtight container. Consume 4 tablespoons of this throughout a day everyday. Make sure you do not use a metal spoon. Use a plastic or wooden spoon only.
You should notice the improvements somewhere around after three days.

CONSTIPATION & BREAST CANCER SATURDAY EVENING POST ~ APRIL 1982
CONSTIPATION & BREAST CANCER
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Around the turn of the
century, doctors blamed all sorts of diseases on constipation.
It was
thought that a slow transit time through the intestines caused toxic
waste to
build up, enter the bloodstream and affect various organs of
the body. This theory was
laid to rest after researchers, using the
primitive techniques then available, had
failed to identify any toxic
substances in the blood of constipated sick people.
However, recent statistics
suggest that there may be something valid in this discarded
theory
after all. Physicians Nicholas L. Petrakis and Eileen B. King of the
University of California, writing in Lancet, have found that women who
have two
or fewer bowel movements per week have four times the risk of
breast disease
(benign or malignant) as women who have one or more
bowel movements per day
have less of a risk.
The doctors studied more than
5,000 women by employing nipple aspiration (a variation
on the use of
the breast pumps nursing mothers use) to get small samples of breast
fluid, which is normally secreted by these glands. The presence of
large numbers of
abnormal (dysplastic) cells helps to identify women
who are at a higher than average
future risk for breast diseases -
including breast cancer.
Dr. Petrakis reviewed the
history of past researchers who failed to identify constipation
as a
factor in the development of malignancies. As a matter of curiosity, he
chose to
include questions concerning bowel function in the research
protocols developed
for his studies of breast-fluid chemistry and
cytology.
To quote Dr. Petrakis, "We
found that 5% of women having one bowel movement
per day would have
abnormal dysplastic cells, while 10% of women having fewer
than one
bowel movement a day would have this abnormality and 20% of women
having two or fewer bowel movements per week would show these dysplastic
changes
in cell character of the breast fluid."
In his view, these findings
reactivate turn-of-the-century questions concerning an
association
between constipation and, in this particular instance, breast disease.
He added a concern that this supposition should not be allowed to
create a
cancer panic among constipated women.
Dr. Petrakis added that "We
found that 70% of the women we tested had
exogenous (foreign) chemicals
in the breast fluid. We don't know why they are there,
but we do know
that the breast cells are in contact with the bloodstream, which will
contain foreign substances absorbed into the circulation system from
the skin, lungs,
and the gastrointestinal tract."
Dr. Petrakis also cited
dietary consideration of interest to vegetarians, including
the
observation that the bowels of people who eat meat contain greater
amounts of mutagenic substance than do the bowels of those who abstain
from
eating meat. Also cited were observations that the intestinal
bacterial flora of
meat eaters includes certain species that interfere
with so-called glucuronide
linkages necessary to complete the
excretions of estrogen delivered to the gut in
bile. It is theorized by
some that such "unlinked" estrogen's are reabsorbed in
the large bowel
of meat eaters, a circumstance leading possible to higher estrogen
levels and a greater change of cancer-producing effects.
 WOMEN WHO HAVE TWO OR FEWER BOWEL MOVEMENTS PERWEEK HAVE FOUR TIMES THE RISK OF BREAST DISEASE ASWOMEN WHO HAVE ONE OR MORE BOWEL MOVEMENTS PER DAY. | ||||

A feeling of balance provides an inherent sense of control in life. When prostate health becomes unbalanced, sleep patterns and urinary function are impacted. EQUOLIBRIUM brings balance back to your urinary routine by supporting healthy prostate function and cell replication. Exclusively from Nature’s Sunshine, this unique formula harnesses the power of equol, the only known molecule that binds directly to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) without triggering the side effects often found with other prostate health products.
Benefits:
- Contains equol, the only known molecule clinically shown to bind to DHT to protect the prostate
- Supports healthy prostate function and urinary flow without side effects
- Helps improve sleep duration
- Supports healthy prostate cell replication
* Nature's Sunshine is the exclusive provider of equol for prostate health, in the direct sales industry.
How It Works:
Equolibrium brings balance to your urinary routine by supporting healthy prostate function and cell replication. Exclusive to Nature’s Sunshine, EQUOLIBRIUM harnesses the power of equol. A powerful antioxidant, equol supports the prostate through a multi-faceted approach. First, equol binds directly to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to prevent it from binding to receptor sites in the prostate. Equol’s unique DHT binding ability makes it the only known molecule that protects the prostate without triggering the side effects that can be caused by enzyme-blocking products.
Ingredients:
6 mg Equol per capsule.Recommended Use:
Take 1 capsule twice daily. Best results seen after 3–6 months of use.Complimentary Products:
- Men’s Formula w/ Lycopene

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
WHAT IS EQUOL?
Equol is a naturally occurring flavonoid found
in many plants and commonly found in soy. It
is a powerful antioxidant. Nature’s Sunshine’s
EQUOLIBRIUM uses a nature-identical source of
equol derived from non-GMO daidzein.
WHY IS BINDING TO DHT BETTER THAN BLOCKING
THE FORMATION OF DHT ALTOGETHER?
Many other prostate products work by blocking the
5-alpha reductase enzyme, which plays a key role
in the conversion of testosterone to DHT. This is
an effective way to prevent the formation of DHT,
however it also prevents this important enzyme from
completing numerous other beneficial tasks in the
body, which can lead to negative side effects.
CAN I TAKE EQUOLIBRIUM WHILE I’M
TAKING A PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION
FOR PROSTATE HEALTH ?
As with all nutritional supplements, we recommend you
consult your physician prior to taking EQUOLIBRIUM.
IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE FOR USING
THIS PRODUCT?
No. EQUOLIBRIUM can be used by men of
any age who need prostate support.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
As with most supplements, results can take time as the
active ingredients perform their functions in the body.
Every man’s body chemistry is different, and some men
may notice results sooner than others. Although some
men may notice benefits in as little as 4–6 weeks, best
results are typically seen after 3–6 months of use.
