My mother used to put onions in my socks when I was sick for that reason. All I remember getting was really bad smelling feet out of the deal.
Oh my God my Mum used to strap half an onion to my ear when I had ear ache - I have never met any one else whos mum has used onions as medicine.0 -

Yep. True again ^

I have some probably stupid questions. These oils.... do you ingest them? Also, how do you know your liver is fabulous? What specifically does it do that my likely less than fabulous liver does not?

I have actually had enzyme tests on my liver, and yes i do ingest them i use the lemon oil and peppermint oil mixed with fresh squeezed lemon and a little molasses. I have a shot of this in the morning 20 minutes before i eat breakfast or have anything else to drink. I alternate this sometimes with honey mixed in with some tea as this is great for the digestive system. I do not starve myself and I do not push it on anyone else but it makes me feel great.

My best friend is a Buddhist and takes no offense to what I said, and they do fast I was simply stating a fact. I didn't use it as an example of people being mean I used it as an example of hey you never know so judging is not nice.0 -

Liver cleanse does not work on it's own but your liver does get overloaded with toxins from everywhere, you can't sit and name every toxin that your body dispels, so yeah i think aiding your liver in it's job can only be helpful. I am very educated but thanks for assuming that I'm not.
Yes, things like metals and certain chemicals can build up in the body, but essential oils CANNOT fix that, without medical intervention you get sick and you die.
No, The liver is not 'the gateway to the body', that makes no sense.
No, not all chemicals are bad, everything is chemicals. Putting lemon in water is adding chemicals to it.
No, That's not what vitamins and minerals are for.
No, 'Detoxification pathways' are not something that exist, in the liver or otherwise
No, there is no such thing as 'damaged fats'. Do you mean heated fats? Trans fats?
Carbon Dioxide, Urea, Bilirubin, dead pathogens and bacteria. I can sit here and name every 'toxin' that the body dispels, if you think it would help.

Oh, I thought that you got them tested regularly (which would be uncommon unless you had a pre-existing medical condition). Makes sense that they tested them if you were in an accident - it is used to test whether your liver is injured/functioning properly. I have never heard of them state how well its working - just that it is working within normal parameters.

The doctor told me I had great levels, which he was surprised by for how badly I was hurt, I have been doing the liver cleanse as it is called for years so it is not effecting me in a negative way and if it makes me feel good and it not hurting me then why not. I understand tthere are some scams out there, but there are some legitimate practices also.

These oils.... do you ingest them? Also, how do you know your liver is fabulous? What specifically does it do that my likely less than fabulous liver does not?
This is exactly what I thought - Andreavan how do you know how well your liver is working?
I have actually had enzyme tests on my liver, and yes i do ingest them i use the lemon oil and peppermint oil mixed with fresh squeezed lemon and a little molasses. I have a shot of this in the morning 20 minutes before i eat breakfast or have anything else to drink. I alternate this sometimes with honey mixed in with some tea as this is great for the digestive system. I do not starve myself and I do not push it on anyone else but it makes me feel great.
How do they test the enzymes? Is it a blood test? Do you have it done at your doctors? How often do they do it?
My liver enzymes were tested when I was in a car accident in 2012, it is a blood test, from what I understand it is performed commonly, mine was performed due to fear that I may have damaged my liver in the accident.
But just because you had one test 2 years ago how can you tell that what you are doing is having any effect?
I had been doing this long before my accident. I have had a very long recovery and to be honest the essential oils have helped me along my way with pain and with scaring with the spasms just to name a few things that i deal with on a daily basis. I am not saying that the liver cleanse of the oils is making me lose weight or making me more healthy but I know that it's not harming me I see doctors all the time more then I care to and they know about my cleanse and have nothing negative to say about how my body is functioning.
How do you 'administer' these oils, for want of a better word?
Physical Touch
This collection of essential oil constituents was compiled in order to help with muscle and nervous system trauma, inflammation and repair.
Providing the tools necessary for the muscles to restore a proper balance in the chemical compounds and regenerating muscle tissue, these constituents give the muscles the resources they need to relax and calm the hyper-sensitive nerves. The constituents in our Birch essential oil function on the exact same frequency as bone, enabling this blend to help support and lessen the pain of bone injuries by the same process of relaxing the nerves from over-stimulus--turning off the sympathetic nervous system, which also give the bones the opportunity to begin to relax and repair themselves.
This one was a big help.
Truth be told there are a lot of companies out there that sell crap. I will not promote the doctor, and yes he is a doctor from who i get mine but i stand behind my own experiences.0 -
Liver function tests LFT is a fairly standard blood test.
Many people, myself included, have perfectly good results without ever doing any liver detoxes or essential oils cleansing or any other sort of cleansing.
( mine were tested as a standard over 45 check up which included things like glucose level , thyroid, Cholestrol etc )
LFT is a standard check up test, similar to checking Cholestrol levels.0 -

I didn't say that the cleanse improved my liver function i just said that it has not harmed my liver.0 -

oh well if that is all you are saying, I dont think many people would disagree.
Let me get this straight - what you are really saying is that lemon water and peppermint oil or whatever it was, are not harming your liver.
-
I doubt anyone would say such benign and everyday things like lemon water and peppermint oil would be harmful (unless taken in ridiculously high dosages)
But of course same could be said about just about every benign and everyday substance, unless taken in ridicuously high dosages.
say, strawberry jam, rose hip tea, grapefruit juice, cinnamon flakes, just to pick a few random items.
Saying something is not harmful is hardly the same as saying it has cleansing or detoxing effects - or indeed any beneficial effects.
In short, seems a silly and pointless claim.0 -
Does juicing cleanse you better than praying?0

My mother used to put onions in my socks when I was sick for that reason. All I remember getting was really bad smelling feet out of the deal.
Oh my God my Mum used to strap half an onion to my ear when I had ear ache - I have never met any one else whos mum has used onions as medicine.
Guess they went to the same school.

Just got up. What did I miss? Did we ever determine what toxins the oils expunge, and how one measures the degree of fabulous in a liver? I must admit my liver feels a bit inferior...0
