1 Liver Restoration Guide A guide to using BIORAY s products, clinical experience and expertise to Support and Maintain Healthy Liver Function

2 Function of the Liver In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver is considered The General of the Army, responsible for over 500 different functions and impacting just about every physiological process in the body. When the liver becomes overburdened and inefficient, unfiltered toxins are deposited in various parts of the body, including the organs, connective tissue and adipose tissue. This is when we experience symptoms such as sudden mood swings, microbial imbalances, food and environmental sensitivities, achy joints, skin issues, difficulty sleeping, unreasonable fears or simply feeling unwell. Many of the toxic chemicals the liver must detoxify come from our environment: they are in the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. Every drug, artificial chemical, pesticide and hormone is broken down (metabolized) by enzyme pathways inside liver cells. The simplest and most effective way to cleanse the blood, take the load off the immune system, improve digestion, and facilitate the body s natural detoxification process is by optimizing liver function. pg 2

5 Additional Remedies Oxy-Powder is a magnesium oxide and ascorbic acid in a capsule to support bowel movements. It is essential that the bowels move 1-3 times a day at beginning and throughout this program as sluggish bowels increase reabsorption of toxins through the colon. Work up to the dose that works for you, as everyone s system is different. Bowel movements will be slightly loose at correct intake. Activated Charcoal absorbs excess toxins the body cannot rid itself of. It can be taken at any stage in this program to mitigate aggravations or feeling unwell from increasing the dose of Liver Life too quickly. Note: This guide addresses healthy liver function and does not include other support that may be necessary for metabolic balance. pg 5

6 How To Start 1. Upon waking, test first morning urine with ph stick. Urinate on ph stick. Desired range is Take 2-4 capsules of Oxy-Powder before bed with a glass of water. Bowels should begin to move the following morning. Continue as needed to maintain 1-3 bowel movements a day. 3. Once the bowels are moving daily, begin with a low dose of Liver Life and increase as tolerated to optimal dose. Initial dose: 13 drops in water or juice 2 times a day. Increase by 2-3 drops per day. Sensitive individuals: Start with 1 drop in water or juice, 2 times a day. Increase by 1 drop every 1-3 days. Optimal Dose is 3-4 droppers ( drops), 2 times a day. 4. Test first morning urine with ph stick until it shifts into healthy range. A healthy first morning urine ph of indicates acidic waste is being filtered efficiently. Restoring and maintaining healthy ph balance is one of Liver Life s many benefits. 5. When the bowels are moving daily, the first morning urine ph is in desired range and Liver Life has been in place for a minimum of 2 weeks, the body is now prepared to begin a detoxification product of your choice. How Long to Continue Optimal Dose of Liver Life Optimal dose of Liver Life is recommended for a minimum of 3 months. At that time you can reevaluate to see if a lower maintenance dose is appropriate. For individuals using this guide in preparation or support of detoxification protocols, continuing an optimal dose of Liver Life throughout the detoxification process is recommended. pg 6

7 Drinking with Liver Life 1. Take Liver Life 30 minutes to 1 hour before your first alcoholic drink. Refer to the previous guide on How to Start to determine correct dose. 2.

Throughout the following day, drink 4-6 glasses of water with fresh lemon juice. pg 7

8 Support Phase One & Two Liver Detoxification Pathways There are two main detoxification pathways in the liver, phase one and two, which neutralize and filter toxins from the body. Choosing healthy foods to support these pathways is a way to further support and maintain healthy liver function. Phase One Detox Pathway Phase one detox pathway changes a toxic chemical to one that is less harmful. The antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, selenium, and many different phytochemicals found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains assist phase one detox pathway in the liver. Glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant and liver protector. It can be depleted by large amounts of toxins and/or drugs passing through the liver as well as starvation or fasting. B vitamins, including folic acid, are very important in phase one. Eat three of the following foods each week to further support phase one detox pathway: Whole Grain Bread Apples Beets Carrots Red Peppers Orange Tomatoes Mangos Watermelon Peaches Prunes Apricots Cantaloupe Pumpkin Sweet Potatoes Squash Broccoli Spinach Eggs Beans (Kidney, Lentil) pg 8

9 Support Phase One & Two Liver Detoxification Pathways Phase Two Detox Pathway Many chemicals are converted in phase one detox pathway to intermediate forms that are then processed by the enzyme in the phase two detox pathway. During phase two, the liver adds a substance to the now less harmful chemical to make it water-soluble. It can then be moved out of the body in urine or feces. Foods rich in sulfur are needed. Eat three of the following foods each week to further support phase one detox pathway: Arugula Broccoli Cauliflower Brussel Sprouts Cabbage Watercress Bok Choy Turnips Turnip Greens Mustard Greens Napa or Chinese Cabbage Horseradish Radishes Kohlrabi Kale Collard Greens Mizuna Tatsoi Rutabaga Daikon pg 9
