Greetings and Welcome to the Optimal
Health eNewsletter!
Today's area of focus is a continuation
of the topic of the liver. Quick review of the functions
of the liver:
1. Storage of blood.
2. Liver ensures the smooth flow of
energy throughout the body.
3. Directly affects the tendons, affecting
our capacity for movement and physical activity.
4. Liver is said to "manifest in the
nails."
5. The eyes are the sense organ connected
to the liver.
If one is experiencing any of the
above, there are a number of highly successful treatments
that are readily available. Let us start with foods.
The flavor associated with creating ideal health
in the liver is sour. Any sour flavor such as lemon
is specific to improving the function of the liver.
The color of the liver is green and any of the green,
leafy vegetables are ideal foods for the liver.
Examples such as kale, collard greens, mustard green,
lettuce as well as green beans and peas are "liver
foods."

Quick
Tip: One of the simple ways to help the liver, not
to mention make you life easier is to get organized.
In fact, the ancient prescription for liver conditions
was to go home and clean your house.
Today, despite the advances in all
aspects of life including technology, the prescription
is still the same. One of the most effect ways is
to use an organizer on your computer. It is the
electronic version of the "To Do" list.
However, unlike paper lists, this is more efficient
and unlikely to loss it soon.
Of all the programs I have used or
evaluated, iChronos organizer (www.ichronos.info)
is by far the one that I would recommend. It is
very user friendly; that is, the information you
need to input and the reminders are extremely easy
to use. Find the icon you want such as the Contacts
or Notes. . . .click and input. The program stores
the information and once the reminder is set, it
provides the valuable data to you. No more missed
meetings. No forgetting about that project. No more
excuses.
It is inexpensive and worth the investment,
for it is an investment in your health, your business
and your life.

In
terms of nutrition, there are 3 highly recommended
substances:
#1. Livaplex. This is a combination
of herbs and other nutrition that improves the functioning
of the liver by improving detoxification. The liver
typically processes some 300+ toxic elements and
if congestion occurs, disease will be present. Livaplex
helps prevent this. This can be found in our eStore.
#2. Milk
Thistle. This is an alternative to Livaplex.
Though not as complete as Livaplex, it is an outstanding
herb for the liver.
#3. Bupleurum.
This is for the "emotional liver." As mentioned
before, anger, frustration and depression are the
emotions associated with theliver. Bupleurum is
THE herb to assist a person in dealing with these
emotions. This herb helps improve the circulation
of energy in the liver and liver pathway (called
a meridian). It is the most powerful "emotional"
herb in the entire materia medica.
Until next week.
To your health,
Dr. David Orman
