All these issues avert the liver to smoothly use and utilise nutrients, proteins and carbohydrates crucial for the body. It also prevents up taking oxygen creating a low energy state in the body with septic and acidic disease.

Now that our liver is busy filtering these toxins, it doesn’t have enough power to screen the hormones, drugs, blood and any other component that it used to filter. It also fails to accomplish proper digestion of food. This is why most of us find losing weight to be impossible.
