Liver Support System
Ingredient Rationale
A proprietary blend of artichoke
(Cynara Floridanum) and sarsaparilla (Smilax Aristolochiaefolia) that contains
the following naturally occurring bioflavonoids and polyphenols: silymarin,
quercetin, catechin, hesperidin, rutin, cynarin and chlorogenic acid.
Bioflavonoids are a class of water-soluble plant pigments (colors) that have
anti-inflammatory antihistaminic and anti-viral properties. Health professionals
formulated The Liver Support System specifically for detoxifying the liver and
gall bladder and supporting each of their functions.
Included
Bioflavonoids
1. Silymarin
Numerous
clinical studies have shown silymarin to be among the most powerful natural
agents available for the prevention and treatment of liver damage caused by
exposure to human-made chemicals including alcohol induced liver degeneration
and cirrhosis.
2. Quercetin
Quercetin is a
bioflavonoid with antioxidant effects. It is used for the prevention of
atherosclerosis hypercholesterolemia (excess cholesterol in the blood) and
coronary heart disease. It can inhibit carcinogenesis and reduce capillary
fragility. Quercetin is used extensively in the treatment of athletic injuries,
because it relieves pain and bruising and acts synergistically with Vitamin C to
protect and preserve the structure of capillaries. It also promotes circulation
lowers cholesterol levels and treats and prevents cataracts. Quercetin fights
cancer, diabetes, capillary fragility and arthritis; stabilizes membranes;
protects against heart disease and allergies; normalizes blood pressure; helps
lowers cholesterol; and slows aging.
3. Catechin
Catechin,
another naturally occurring flavonoid, is similar in effect to silymarin.
Catechin is a powerful anti-oxidant that helps prevent free radical oxidative
damage to cells. It also helps in the treatment and prevention of alcohol and
chemical-induced liver disease or damage. Catechin is also valuable for its
ability to neutralize intestinal toxins and assist in the stabilization of cell
membranes.
4. Hesperidin
Hesperidin has been shown to
be useful in clinical trials as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
5. Rutin
An antioxidant
bioflavonoid, free radical scavenger, and an iron-chelator. It is used as a
vascular protector for reducing capillary fragility, permeability and bleeding;
as a treatment for varicose vein symptoms; and as preventive for stroke (the
sudden rupture or clotting/blockage of a blood vessel to the brain). Some
studies show that Rutin offers protection from damage induced by asbestos, the
cytotoxic effects of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and gastric injury
from ethanol. It also offers some protection against DNA damage caused by
hepatocarcinogens. Rutin is used extensively in the treatment of athletic
injuries because it relieves pain and bruises and acts synergistically with
Vitamin C to protect and preserve the structure of capillaries. It also promotes
circulation, lowers cholesterol levels, and treats and prevents
cataracts.
6. Cynarin
Cynarin assists
in the detoxification of the liver and gall bladder. It also supports the
function of these two important organs while and assists in their regeneration
following damage. Cynarin stimulates the clearance of bile from the liver,
preventing congestion in the liver and thus diminishing the chances of liver
damage.
7. Sarsaparilla
Sarsaparilla
has been used in the treatment of the following conditions: gout, arthritis,
digestive disorders, skin diseases and cancer. Sarsaparilla contains saponins,
which are steroid-like agents that bind with toxins in the digestive tract.
Historically sarsaparilla has been used as a 'blood purifier' and a general
tonic for diseases associated with increased endotoxin levels, including
arthritis, intestinal ulcerative conditions, eczema and
psoriasis.
The tonic effect of sarsaparilla is
the result of its ability to stimulate the removal of accumulated waste products
from the cells, blood and lymph. These actions tend to increase the health of
the entire body and increase vitality, thereby increasing energy and
endurance.
8. Chlorogenic Acid
(16%)
Chlorogenic Acid is a naturally occurring, water soluble, phenolic
acid that is a potent anti-oxidant, carcinogenic inhibitor and protector against
lipid peroxidation and free radical mediated cell injury.

AUTISM AND DETOXIFICATION
Might autistic children be the
proverbial "canaries in the coal mine" whose nervous systems are more
susceptible to the impact of toxic heavy metals in the environment incurring
neurological damage even at low exposure levels? One recent study found that in
one group of 18 autistic children 16 had blood levels of toxic heavy metals and
chemicals exceeding adult maximum tolerance. This build-up of toxins may not
arise simply from excessive exposure but from a marked inability to process and
eliminate toxins from the body. Indeed when the children were assessed using a
biochemical analysis to gauge the body's ability to detoxify substances
researchers found that every child showed out-of-range results suggesting a
defect in this two-phase detoxification process. (Reason Extreme Health's
Liver Support Formula is important.) Researchers explained that such a mechanism
could lead to a backup of toxic heavy metals and chemical toxins with increased
free radical activity in the body. Since the blood-brain barrier of children is
still not fully developed these toxic and oxidized molecules could penetrate
into regions of the brain and damage neutrons receptors synapses enzymes and
cell mitochondria and also set off auto immune reactions triggering further
damage.
According to other studies autistic
children may have problems metabolizing and detoxifying certain compounds due
to an impaired biochemical process called sulfation. Sulfation plays an
important role in the second phase of the detoxification process. (Reason
Extreme Health's Liver Support Formula is important.) Impaired sulfation could
make autistic children more vulnerable to multiple heavy metal and chemical
sensitivities. It may also help explain an exacerbation of behavioral problems
after children eat foods containing phenol tyramine and phenyl compounds which
are normally neutralized through the sulfation process.
Much concern has been raised over the
link between exposure to heavy metal toxins and neurological brain damage
associated with learning and behavior disorders in children. Indeed research
shows that exposure to heavy metals such as lead mercury and antimony can impair
brain development at very early ages even at low doses previously deemed
"harmless." Children are particularly susceptible to the deleterious effects of
heavy metal exposure for several reasons. First their developing nervous
systems are more sensitive. Second their bodies absorb toxins more rapidly yet
clear them from the system more slowly than from adults.(Reason Extreme
Health's Liver Support Formula is important.) Finally a child's blood-brain
barrier the natural protective mechanism which blocks harmful substances from
entering and damaging the brain is not yet fully formed.
Many professionals working in the
field of autism have expressed concern that some autistic children were exposed
to potentially damaging levels of ethylmercury which is a preservative used in
certain vaccinations. Clinical neurobehavioral symptoms of mercury poisoning
seem to parallel closely many common symptoms of autism. In response to pressure
from the FDA the U.S. Public Health Service and other regulatory health agencies
vaccine manufacturers have since worked to reduce or eliminate the use of
ethylmercury as a preservative in many vaccines.
In addition several studies have
associated high lead levels in children with autism. Elevated levels of lead in
hair - signify long-term toxic exposure to this heavy metal - were correlated
with increased behavior abnormalities and learning disorders in children.
Based on clinicians' observations antimony a potential toxin found in some
fire retardant materials is also a possible cause for concern.
Nutritional balance and healthy
metabolism are also very important. Dr. Lynn Wecker and his colleagues at
Louisiana State Medical Centre observe that trace element imbalances in the
human body can disrupt neurotransmitter function and produce marked changes in
behavior; many of which are consistent with symptoms of autism. For this reason
Dr. Wecker and his team evaluated trace element concentrations in the hair of
autistic children. They found clear deficiencies of calcium, copper, zinc, and
chromium that were so striking that they allowed them to discriminate between
autistic children and healthy controls with a high degree of accuracy using just
test results. Deficiencies of mineral nutrients can make a child more
susceptible to heavy metal absorption. Magnesium deficiencies associated with
attention-deficit disorder and hyperactivity may also be clinically significant
in autism. Extreme Health's Liver Support Formula radically improves
liver metabolism and promotes the detoxification of the liver and the body.
