2. Your liver is
• The major fat burning organ in your body
• The largest & hardest-working internal
organ in your body
• The furnace & energy factory of your body
• The mechanical filter & cleanser of your
blood stream
• The organ of longevity – take the letter “r”
off the end of the word liver & live!
3. The liver filter magnified billions of times
- is designed to remove unhealthy cells – dead cells, cancer cells &
microorganisms, chemicals & drugs from the blood stream
4.
5. Kupffer cells help to keep the liver filter clean. If the filter
becomes damage or clogged, serious health problems
can eventuate
6. Liver Detoxification
• The liver converts fat-soluble chemicals & toxins
into water-soluble substances; only then can they
be excreted from the body via watery fluids such
as bile, urine, sweat & saliva
• Many of these fat soluble chemicals (eg. pesticides,
insecticides, dyes, plastics, solvents etc) are
carcinogenic
• A healthy liver helps to reduce your risk of cancer

14. Body Toxicity & Weight
Toxins are stored in the
fatty parts of the body
such as the adipose
tissue, cellulite,
endocrine glands & liver
Toxins overwork the liver &
slow down the
metabolism, which often
leads to unwanted
weight gain
15. What is a fatty liver?
A fatty liver contains an excessive amount of fat
Normal healthy liver tissue becomes replaced with unhealthy fats, so that less
healthy liver tissue remains.
• The fatty liver is often enlarged & swollen with fat, which gives it a yellow
greasy appearance.
• Fatty liver is a very serious epidemic - it can lead to obesity, diabetes,
cirrhosis & liver failure.
• Fatty liver produces symptoms which greatly reduce quality of life.
• Fatty liver is the most common liver disease & the greatest cause of liver
transplant.
If detected in the early to medium stages, the condition of fatty liver responds
very well to correct treatment & is reversible.
