Has anyone tried a liver cleanse, as in, the serious ones cancer patients use? I have been reading the book "Knockout" by Suzanne Somers...a collection of interviews of alternative cancer treatments, including testimonials of people who have been cancer free for decades. These were, for the most part, people who were at late stages of various types of cancers, including the dreaded pancreatic, told they had no hope by modern medicine, but yet are alive, and thriving, today.

The book, to me, highlights how individual every person is and these doctors that are interviewed in the book take that approach, looking and analyzing every person as an individual, and developing an approach customized for them. Dr. Blaylock is in there, as well.

One of the doctors, Dr. Gonzales in NY, recommends a liver cleanse as part of the protocol for most everyone he sees. What got me thinking this might help PWP is that he talks about the two nervous systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic, and how when one is dominant you see certain types of cancers and when the other is dominant, you see other types of cancers. If an off-balance liver can contribute to cancers, or help put them in remission (no one wants to use that word "cure" even though the cancer may be in remission for 17 years!!) how can it not contribute to other diseases? And similarly, if a healthy, optimally functioning liver can help people with advanced cancers, why could it not help us?

The liver cleanse of Dr. Gonzales sounds pretty horrible, ending with a half cup of olive oil on an empty stomach before bedtime after four days of taking Phosfood in apple juice and then a "meal" of fruit and heavy cream....there are also regular coffee enemas to go along with this. Apparently the coffee taken rectally stimulates nerves found only in the lower bowel that turns on the parasympathetic nervous system, which through a reflex causes the liver to release all its toxins...coffee drank, however, has the opposite effect: it turns on the sympathetic nervous system and shuts the liver down.

This may be too much information but we are thinking of giving this a go, so to speak, and would love to hear if anyone has any experience with this?
