Many chronic physical and mental disorders are the direct result of an overloaded liver filled with toxic food fragments and chemicals. The liver and colon are probably the organs most assaulted by our life-styles of stress, junk foods, drugs and alcohol, industrial toxins, air pollution, prescription- and/ or recreational drugs. We need to protect ourselves by helping these organs with its natural detoxification and regenerative processes. Good nutrition and BioZama™ , containing herbal extracts in a unique Pat. Pending formulation, provide this support.

Liver congestion contributes to an estimated 20 million victims of gallstones in the United States each year and a half million have their gallbladders removed.

In the USA alone, 12 million people are daily affected by irregular bowel syndromes!

The BioZama™ are super-detox antioxidants in a plant extract formulation! We have clients; they are strict 'Vegetarian', and thought that the colon cleansing is not of importance. They changed their mind, after experiencing impressive improvements to their intestinal tract.

Using them on a regular base, will cleanse your colon, you feel better, your skin will look better and your all-over health will improve!

The too high cholesterol level can result in strokes and heart disease, liver failure, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and to the inflammation of the gallbladder. Here are some of the warning signs of a congested, toxic liver:

• Feeling tired after a meal or chronic fatigue.
  
• Mood swings, including depression or irrational anger flare-ups.
  
• Digestive symptoms including nausea, foul-smelling gas and bloating, loss of appetite, constipation and/or diarrhea.
  
• Sore feet, muscle or joint pain, and wounds slow in healing.
  
• Skin disorders including acne, boils, psoriasis, eczema, and jaundice.

Weighing about 3 to 5 pounds, the liver is a very large organ in the human body and requires about 12% of all your body's energy to perform over 500 different jobs in regulating our metabolism every day!

Eight of the most important functions our liver has to perform on a daily basis are:

1. In the thyroid, converting the hormone, thyroxine, into tri-iodothyronine without which energy-depleting hypothyroidism results.
   
2. Creating the Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) from glutathione and chromium, essential for insulin to maintain proper blood sugar levels.
   
3. Breaking down hormones for elimination from the body after they've been used (insulin, estrogen, aldosterone, and adrenaline).
   
4. Manufacturing bile salts which a.) dissolve toxins before they are secreted into the intestines and b.) breaking down fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) for absorption into the digestive tract.
   
5. Storing iron and various vitamins (especially A, D and B-12)
   
6. Detoxifying ammonia that occurs as a toxic by-product of fermented food and protein metabolism in the bowel.
   
7. Breaking down everything toxic or poisonous in the body from metabolic wastes to insecticides on food, to alcohol and drugs, to chemicals used in industry and food processing and many more. Failure to do this important job usually results in death in 12 to 24 hours.
   
8. Regulating blood sugar, this main glucose buffer is the key in producing, storing and releasing glycogen. Glycogen is the form able to be stored by the body, as a half-day's supply of sugar.

   Let's examine who's at risk for "sub clinical chronic liver dysfunction", which means the symptoms are too mild to be detected by usual clinical tests or examinations:

   • Heavy coffee drinkers.
     
   • Those who regularly consume "junk foods", especially when fried in aged and/ or rancid fats or oils, a leading source of lipid peroxides, which are highly toxic to the liver.
     
   • Persistent alcohol users. The liver changes alcohol into toxic acetaldehyde.
     
   • Birth control pill users. As the liver breaks down estrogen, the by-product, estradiol, is produced and can be toxic for persons deficient in B-vitamins and protein.
     
   • Candida patients: Yeast causes fermentation of dietary sugar, which turns into the liver-toxic acetaldehyde and makes liver-harmful ammonia in the gut as well.
     
   • Arthritis sufferers and other chronic aspirin/Tylenol takers (8 to 12 daily). This "safe" drug can damage the liver with prolonged high dosages.
     
   • Long-term prescription drug users, i.e. Dilantin and Phenobarbitol (for epilepsy), Nizoral (for Candida) and Chlorpromazine (a tranquilizer) to name a few.
     
   • Those so-called "recreational" drugs, like Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine, etc., also risk liver damage. - Farm workers and produce handlers exposed to pesticides like: DDT, Chlordane, Lindane, Aldrin, 2-4-5-T and Dioxin, which all tend to collect in our body fat.
     
   • Service and industrial workers, who are customarily exposed to heavy metals (lead, mercury, and cadmium), radioactive chemicals, solvents (carbon tetrachloride and TCE), spray paints, and chemicals in hair salons.
     
   • Auto mechanics and gas station attendants who are exposed to gasoline, diesel fuel, motor oil, degreasing chemicals, etc., which are absorbed through the skin or by the inhalation of fumes.

How to detoxify with BioZama™
When planning to rid the liver of harmful toxins and poisons, three actions of the liver must be the focal point for support and stimulation:

• Bile production and flow must be encouraged. By supporting this activity, the "liver congestion" is prevented, the toxin and cholesterol excretion is increased, and there is a noted decrease in fatty deposits. A good quality fiber supplement-containing plant fibers would be good to ensure that bile acids and toxins were bound and eliminated, thus preventing their re-absorption and the forming of cancer producing compounds.
  
• The main liver cells, hepatocytes, must be protected from damage caused by inflammation and must be stimulated to regenerate and multiply, thus functioning at optimum.
  
• The immune system cells should be encouraged to capture and digest toxins and allergy-causing substances. Adequate amounts of vitamins and trace minerals should be taken before and during the detoxification process with the BioZama™ as well as quality proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to insure optimal results.
