How does one measure the
overall health of the liver? How does one know if their liver is
strong enough to be restored by the Gerson Therapy?
There are all the usual blood tests
that don't tell a doctor much until a disease process or damage
has already been quite severe or extensive. We have seen this so
many times. Therefore, these tests hold only a little value for
evaluation purposes. The liver has literally hundreds of
functions, so it is very hard to know the overall health of the
liver. In today's world there are many thousands of toxins in
every known form surrounding us. Some people may have healthier,
stronger systems and are better equipped to handle the necessary
detoxification processes to maintain a healthy liver. Others
can, and sometimes need to give more support and help to the
liver by way of a healthy lifestyle; physically and mentally.
Having tests done by other means [besides blood]: hair and
saliva analysis perhaps; and by doing the classic "Spring and
Fall" cleansing through a juice and detoxification regimen under
the guidance of a qualified advisor. Generally with the Gerson
Therapy, a 25% to 50% functioning liver can have good results,
and is restorable. However Charlotte Gerson has stated she has
seen good results with even less. As you know, the liver is the
only organ that can completely regenerate itself and does so
over time on a regular basis.
