CHAPTER 33 Peace within Your Body Your liver’s unwavering, heroic fight for survival takes place because it has a baby to protect That baby is you From the time you were in the womb, your liver has taken responsibility for you Like a newborn in a mother’s arms, you’re what your liver cares about more than anything else As your liver was developing in utero, it received precious directions and information directly from your mother’s liver, messages sent via chemical communication about how to perform thousands of functions One was paramount: to never give up on you This blessing inherited from and ignited by our mothers’ livers is the basis of survival It’s the foundational rock of the liver’s over 2,000 chemical functions, and like many of the other functions, it is undiscovered by medical research and science This motherhood quality passed down from liver to liver is a never-giving-up mentality, one of the profound bonds between mother and child that exists beyond sight Even when times are tough and an outside observer can’t see what binds a mother to a child, deep in that mother’s heart and deep in that child’s soul, an unbreakable bond exists It exists, too, between your liver and you: a whatever’s-best-for-my-child consciousness Picture your liver as a parent saying, “What are the best schools?” “How am I going to put food on the table?” “Who’s my child going to play with?” “Is my child safe? Happy? Warm?” You’ll get a pretty accurate sense of how deeply your liver cares and wants to see you thrive This is the source of your liver’s willingness to persevere and keep you protected Your liver learned, before you were born, never to surrender to weakness It learned never to dodge a responsibility or opt out of a challenge before it Your liver learned to take care of you as if you were its young for the rest of your life Regardless of how many obstacles in its path, your liver will try to climb them It will what’s right for its baby: you Your liver will fight to keep you young and safe even if this means that it’s forced to grow old and sluggish in the process It will even take bullets for you in the hopes that one day you may receive the message to rescue it, as it has done for you for all these years and as it will always try to for you, no matter what Overworked and overtired, with an endless to-do list and not enough support, the liver is the organ with which we can most identify It’s the organ of our time, multitasking and adapting and forging ahead in the face of setbacks, just like we This also means we have unique insights into it We can empathize with how it needs a moment’s relief from the quicksand feeling of trying to keep up with each day We can recognize its weariness from the pressure to be everything all at once We can resonate with how after a lifetime of being a protector, it needs someone to have its back Remember how at the beginning of this book, I called symptoms lifesaving? It’s time to put that saving into action After all these years of our livers coming to the rescue, we can finally be the heroes they need us to be SAVING YOUR LIVER Here in Part IV, we’ll explore what you can to be that hero When we think about taking care of our bodies, so often, it’s about looks In the quest for a lean physique and soft, glowing skin, we don’t have an inkling of what really needs to be cared for: the liver It’s understandable We can’t forget about appearance, because it’s plain to see Meanwhile, unless we’ve just read over 30 chapters about the organ, we walk around without really thinking about our livers Life keeps us busy and throws so many challenges at us that I even forget about mine unless Spirit reminds me The liver sits out of sight, and we don’t get Liver 101 to teach us about its invisible power It’s not part of a school’s mission statement to look after children’s livers No one tells us, “Hey, don’t let your liver get sluggish, dehydrated, and congested!” or, “Hey, cleanse your liver at least a couple times a year, just like you wash your car And make sure you it in a really safe, gentle manner You’ve gotta look after that puppy!” As I always say, we’re a see-it-to-believe-it society, and that can hurt us along the way If you see dirt on your car, you’ll go to the car-wash If you can’t see dirt on your liver, then it must not be there If we can’t see the toxins we inherited from the start, if we can’t see the pathogens nesting, if we can’t see the sticky film building So the external occupies and consumes us We focus on the right dress, skirt, shirt, socks, or pair of jeans, wanting them to make us look good while also being comfortable, and we never make sure that the liver is also comfortable Is it girdled by a dress of fat? Is a scarf of toxins and other poisons suffocating it? Is there a tootight hat of heavy metals on our liver’s head? When we focus inward, we don’t have to abandon the hope of looking good Ironically, by shifting focus to the liver, we de-age the skin, help slough off weight, enhance nutrient processing to build better muscles, look better in our clothes—all while freeing ourselves of symptoms and illness The people who stay focused only on appearance may drink a martini or champagne while visiting the spa and then end the day with a steak dinner and a generous serving of butter, not realizing that they’re burdening the liver and in doing so, fighting against the very goal they’re trying to accomplish No matter what angle you’re approaching liver care from—whether to look better, feel better, honor and repay the liver for all it’s done, or help prevent problems down the road—it’s a winning angle It’s one that helps clean up the blood and lymphatic system, loosen up fat cells in the liver, and give the adrenals a break If you’re gaining or holding on to weight despite your best efforts with diet and exercise, giving your liver the proper TLC will help change your direction If you have liver damage from alcohol or prescription or recreational drugs, or if you have mystery scar tissue, you can work on bringing the organ back It’s not your fault No matter what, since the liver is responsible for neutralizing harmful materials as well as flushing poisons and pathogens out of the body, getting the liver back up and functioning is critical for good health If you’ve got to it in baby steps, you can it that way You won’t go it alone Together, we’ll all be working with you And you’ll have tools—so many tools—laid out in the chapters ahead In Chapter 34, we’ll bust some liver myths Steering clear of these fads, trends, mistakes, and misconceptions will give your liver critical protection One of them, the high-fat trend, is overflowing with information, so Chapter 35 will get into more truths about why this one is not on your liver’s side Then it’s on to Chapter 36, where we’ll explore the liver troublemakers I’ve been referencing throughout this whole book; here you’ll find more detail on what to avoid, why to avoid it, and how long different troublemaker types usually take to leave from your liver when you work on cleansing them In Chapter 37, you’ll find critical insights into how to fuel and heal your liver with powerful foods, herbs, and supplements And then it’s the chapter that takes it all to a new level of life-changing: Chapter 38, “Liver Rescue 3:6:9.” This nine-day cleanse will unburden your liver like nothing you’ve tried before, and the accompanying morning routine will give you a simple mini-cleanse to help work up to or maintain all that progress In the following chapter, Chapter 39, “Liver Rescue Recipes,” you’ll get delicious snack and meal ideas, with full-color photos to get you excited about getting in the kitchen And then comes Chapter 40, “Liver Rescue Meditations,” where you’ll find nine meditations tailored to your liver’s different needs, such as releasing fat, reversing disease, and strengthening the organ’s immune system With all you find in this how-to guide, between cleaning up your liver and being proactive to guard against threats on the horizon, you’ll finally have your liver’s back By the time you read my parting words for you in “The Storm Will Pass” and then turn the last page, you’ll be fully equipped to transform both your liver and your life A WORLD OF PEACEFUL LIVERS We look for peace in every form: in our minds, bodies, souls, and hearts; among neighbors; among family; and in the workplace We seek world peace, wondering what our contribution can be to make this planet a better place People even travel to the ends of the earth to find peace, never realizing that one of the greatest answers is this lowly organ inside all of us That can’t be right, can it? Even after reading page after page about the liver, you must still be asking how a lump of tissue could change the world Well, we all know that the brain is responsible for the advancements of society, even though you could call that a lump of tissue, too Although it’s only a hollow muscle, we revere the heart as our emotional and physical center The lungs are just a couple of balloons, yet we know they give us the breath of life So why don’t we elevate the liver to its rightful place as peacekeeper? Simply because we haven’t been shown how or why Until now—now you know that your liver looks out for the rest of your body like a mother for a newborn, that it’s your defense against countless health problems It can’t help that in its mission as peacekeeper, it gets pushed past its limits Imagine a world without chronic anger, without the suffering of babies and children, without aches and pains, without sleepless nights, without uncontrollable weight gain, without gnawing hunger, without out-of-rhythm hearts, without hot flashes and night sweats, without mood swings, without raging rashes, without roiling intestines, without backed-up bowels, without blood sugar spikes and drops, without strokes, without heart attacks, without cancer That’s a world of peaceful livers Peaceful livers mean peaceful minds and bodies Our spirits, too, rely greatly on the strength of our livers Imagine how much kinder we would all be to each other and ourselves if we didn’t feel awful, or frightened of feeling awful, all the time Now imagine how much more peaceful the world would be if we were all kinder What couldn’t we accomplish with that kind of power? By working on the health of your liver, you’re doing so much more I’m so proud of you for diving into these next chapters Together with the others reading this book, you’re going to create a profound force for healing within your body and the world CHAPTER 34 Liver Myths Debunked It’s funny that our livers don’t get enough credit these days, since the liver featured prominently in ancient thought Our ancestors associated the liver with strong emotion, and as you saw in Chapter 27, “Emotional Liver: Mood Struggles and SAD,” they weren’t so far off An ever-damaged and ever-regenerating liver was central to the myth of Prometheus, and as you’ll read later in this chapter, that’s not entirely different from its actual mechanics Yet too often, we look back on this past fixation on the liver as silly Aren’t we so much smarter now? we tell ourselves The liver does still get some attention, although the liver myths out there in the present are far more outlandish Sometimes they’re merely fads, trends, and health flavors of the month that won’t accomplish what they say they will Sometimes they’re more persistent theories and beliefs that we need to be aware won’t help us No matter what, it’s important that we examine them so we don’t unknowingly hold ourselves back with modern mythology COMPLETE CELL REGENERATION EVERY SEVEN YEARS A lot of theories exist around how much time it takes for all of the cells in the body to be renewed, replaced, or re-created There’s no exact science out there to provide a true answer to how long it takes It’s one of those undiscovered mysteries of our bodies, similar to what happens to food when we eat, so far beyond the reach of modern medical tools that it can’t be weighed or measured Many factors play a role in cell regeneration, and it’s different for each person: nutrients, stress, pathogens, deficiencies, inherited and newly encountered toxins such as heavy metals, the environmental challenges someone’s living with, even the emotional environmental challenges someone’s living with and the resources available to that person They can all influence the speed with which cells rejuvenate It means that the exact timing of how many years it takes for cells to replace themselves in various organs, glands, tissues, and bones (when they can be replaced) can’t be locked down by medical research and science, because there is no set timeline to lock down—except in the case of the liver Let’s take a glimpse of the liver’s undiscovered rejuvenation process The liver is the rock of the body, the boulder in the middle of a meadow where dragonflies roost That boulder is nearly impossible to roll, push, move along, or uproot with our own two hands, because a boulder has purpose in its placement The power of Mother Nature’s force and the hands of time have left it there in a finished state of being Though it can change over the hours, days, years, and even centuries as the wind and rain and cold and sun affect it, for the most part, it’s in its complete form In its essence, this state of completion is true of your liver, too While unlike the boulder, it does have the ability to renew, it has a boulder’s steadfastness in a way that’s unlike any other part of the body A boulder is a timekeeper—ask a geologist Tap into one, and a scientist can decipher the past A boulder can never be wishy-washy That’s true of the liver, too It’s the body’s clock It can’t run behind Like the stopwatch holder in a race or the teacher timing a test, it must be dependable; it has a responsibility to uphold With the body running in so many directions, between digestion, the central nervous system’s functions, adrenal function, and so on, plus all we put the body through, someone has to be making sure it all runs according to schedule In order for the liver to be the peacekeeping timekeeper, it must hold a definitive cell renewal clock that tells what time it is no matter what else is happening inside or outside the body, including inside the liver itself On a traditional clock, the number that holds it all together is twelve: “The clock strikes midnight,” “Lunch is at twelve noon,” the marker between morning and afternoon and then between the end of the day and the start of a fresh one Twelve holds the spectrum of time together For the liver, the number that holds it all together is nine It’s the number that resides in the core fabric of the liver’s cells The number nine contains within it the liver’s responsibilities: cell renewal (which is the number three), the ability to sustain life (which is the number six), and a boulder’s sense of completion (which is the nine itself) Beginning, middle, and end, the essence of human life, residing within the liver Like the twelve on a clock face, nine is the number that unites the liver The liver carries information of the past in a way unlike any other organ, even the brain Our livers hold intelligence from generations and generations past, and they pass this along to each new generation, which is a positive considering our livers also pass along poisons and pathogens The livers of your children and grandchildren will contain stored-up information from your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and even further up the family tree It means we can never outsmart the liver the way we can outsmart the brain or heart The liver is immune to human folly because of the data it has on generations of mistakes In essence, the liver lives forever The liver has an ability to renew that is more profound than any other part of the body—which balances the reality that it can’t renew its entire self like some parts of the body can That’s because, as your ardent protector, your liver can become extremely scarred and damaged over time, with cells destroyed by pathogens and other troublemakers As you’ve read, nobody’s liver is running at 100 percent The damage that occurs to the liver from neglect and misunderstanding is unlike the damage that occurs anywhere else in the body Though some damaged liver tissue can still be in limited working order and able to be partially renewed, the liver can’t renew much, if any, of the severely damaged tissue if someone’s not actively working on it This is what makes the number nine resonate and what gives the liver that heavy, boulder-like quality of standing still through time The profound part has to with the liver’s unique ability to renew the good parts of itself on a specific schedule in order to sustain life Its responsible timekeeping in this area is unlike anything else in the body The physical state that you’re in, your body’s resources, your toxic load, and so on—that list of factors from the beginning of this section: they make or break renewal in other body parts With your liver, renewal happens, period It’s something you can rely on as surely as you can rely on your birthday rolling around on the same day each year: your liver renews all its healthy cells completely within each nine-year mark of your life It’s not one big, continuous, everyday state of renewal, though some cell renewal can happen on an ongoing basis The liver renews itself in thirds over those nine years Usually, three months before a three-year mark is when renewal will pick up speed, and the liver will work on a fast, serious cell overhaul Within just those few months, the liver can regenerate a third of its working cells The same thing will happen again at the next three-year mark, renewing another third of the liver And then, as it approaches nine years total, the liver will renew its final third for that cycle It’s the same timetable for everyone It happened for us all as we approached our third birthday, our sixth birthday, and our ninth birthday, and then the cycle started over and continued and will continue for the rest of our lives This means that any kindnesses you pay your liver around those special birthdays that are multiples of three will give it an extra boost as it works to bring new life to itself (If you were born premature and underdeveloped, you have a few months to play with after each multiple-of-three birthday.) Here’s a really important point: just because they’re new cells, that doesn’t mean they’re clean If you’re not pulling out troublemakers in between those birthdays, new cells can get contaminated by cells and poisons of the past That’s how toxins can stick around in your liver for decades It’s also why it’s vital to cleanse troublemakers like viruses and heavy metals on an ongoing basis throughout your whole life And, as we discussed, the cell renewal timetable doesn’t mean that liver damage and disease and scar tissue go away after nine years if you’re not actively working on healing them If you create a great lifestyle for your liver, though, and everything right for it using the resources in this book, you have hope of this renewal cycle reviving injured tissue As these special birthdays approach, think about letting them remind you to a little more In the lead-up to your 27th birthday or your 36th or your 48th or your 54th or your 60th or your 75th or your 81st or your 99th or any of the threes before, after, or in between, think about sipping some more green juices, eating a little less fat, getting more hydrated, and bringing in more antioxidant-rich foods such as fruit And any time in between that you the Liver Rescue 3:6:9 or the Liver Rescue Morning from Chapter 38, you help secure the possibility of your liver’s cells replacing themselves properly so you can feel your best Z Zinc (liquid zinc sulfate), 308 Zucchini as healing food, 298 noodles, 349 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thank you to Patty Gift, Anne Barthel, Reid Tracy, Margarete Nielsen, Diane Hill, everyone at Hay House Radio, and the rest of the Hay House team for your faith and commitment to getting Spirit’s wisdom out into the world so it can continue to change lives Helen Lasichanh and Pharrell Williams, you are extraordinarily kindhearted seers Gwyneth Paltrow, Elise Loehnen, and your devoted GOOP crew, your caring and generosity are a profound inspiration Dr Christiane Northrup, your inexhaustible devotion to the health of womankind has become its own star in the universe Dr Prudence Hall, your selfless work to enlighten patients who need answers renews the true, heroic meaning of the word doctor Craig Kallman, thank you for your support, advocacy, and friendship on this journey Chelsea Field and Scott, Wil, and Owen Bakula, how did I get so blessed to have you in my life?
