Civilization, with its processed, concentrated and synthesized foods, is responsible for the enormous quantities of antacid remedies sold and consumed in the form of pills, candies and chewing gum – “remedies” that may temporarily relieve distress whilst failing to remove the cause.
The liver, then, is the body’s principal organ of detoxification; the chemical wizard which performs its chemical magic with quiet efficiency; the strainer through which is poured all that finds its way into the body before it enters the general circulation.
As long as the liver function is intact, the blood stream remains pure. When it becomes impaired, the toxins enter the circulation and cause irritation, destruction and eventually - death.
