Liver Toxicity and Its Impact on Bile Production and Fat-Soluble Vitamin Absorption
The liver plays a crucial role in digestion and metabolism, particularly in the production of bile, a substance essential for the emulsification (breaking down) and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). When the liver is exposed to toxic substances, whether through certain medications/vaccines, environmental toxins or metabolic disorders, its ability to function properly can be compromised. This can lead to liver toxicity, which may result in poor bile production and subsequent malabsorption of these vital nutrients.
Understanding Liver Toxicity
Liver toxicity refers to liver damage caused by exposure to harmful substances. The liver's cells can become inflamed or damaged, leading to impaired bile production and secretion. Without adequate bile, the body struggles to digest and absorb dietary fats, which are crucial for health.
Consequences of Poor Bile Production
When bile production is insufficient, the breakdown of fat in the gastrointestinal tract is affected. This impairment leads to malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins, resulting in deficiencies that can have substantial health implications, including chronic constipation.
1. **Vitamin A**: Essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. But studies have also shown deficiency may play a role in visual stimming, including side-looking in children with autism.
2. **Vitamin D**: Critical for calcium absorption and bone health.
3. **Vitamin E**: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage. Deficiency can result in neurological problems and weakened immune response. Often damaging high oxidative stress is shown in tests.
4. **Vitamin K**: Necessary for blood clotting and bone metabolism. A lack of vitamin K can lead to excessive bleeding and weakened bones.
Addressing the Issue
Removing environmental toxic load is essential. (Look at chemicals used in the home, cleaners, room sprays etc)
Eliminating harmful food additives …apps like Yuka can be very helpful in quickly seeing which products to avoid
Avoid fried foods
Homeopathic treatment : Undergo detox using homeopathy or other gentle methods. Homeopathic detoxes of toxins such as vaccines, medications, moulds, etc are an invaluable part of my clinic and help in the healing process.
Use liver support homeopathic remedies (under homeopathic supervision)
Plenty of fresh water to drink
Use liver friendly herbs such as milk thistle
Consider digestive enzymes for the short term whilst healing the liver
