Liver
• Largest fatty organ in the body and essential for life
• Produces bile to help absorb fats and fat-soluble
vitamins
• Removes or neutralizes poisons from the blood
• Produces immune cells to stop infection
• Removes germs and bacteria from the blood
• Makes proteins that regulate blood clotting
• Chief dysfunctions of liver:
– Fatty Liver: fat deposits accumulate and choke the liver
– Cirrhosis: Non-functioning scar tissue replaces healthy tissue; it
is the 8th leading cause of death by disease, killing over 22,000
people a year
Liver Stressors
• Exposure to Chemicals, Toxins, Pharmaceutical Drugs, and Parasites. Many
pesticides, petrochemicals, and environmental toxins are potent liver stressors.
Acetaminophen can also stress the liver as can reactions to prescription drugs.
Parasitic infection (schistosomiasis) can also contribute to cirrhosis.
• Poor Diet. Excess intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars can cause fatty liver or
liver degeneration over time. Diabetes, protein malnutrition, obesity, and
corticosteroid treatment can also cause fatty liver.
• Iron Overload. Excess iron in the diet can stress the liver, especially in individuals
who are genetically unable to dispose of or sequester dietary iron (hemochromatosis).
Creates a haemo-type liver pathology.
• Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) causes fat buildup and eventual cirrhosis in the
liver This type of hepatitis appears to be associated with diabetes, protein
malnutrition, obesity, coronary artery disease, and corticosteroid treatment.
• Chronic hepatitis B and C. The hepatitis virus is a major cause of chronic liver disease
and cirrhosis in the United States. Hepatitis viral infections cause inflammation and
low-grade damage to the liver that eventually leads to cirrhosis and death.
• Inherited diseases. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, Wilson's disease, galactosemia, and
glycogen storage diseases are inherited disorders that result in malproduction,
malprocessing, and malstorage by the liver of enzymes, proteins, and metals.
• Blocked bile ducts. When the ducts that carry bile out of the liver are blocked, bile
backs up and damages liver tissue (biliary cirrhosis).
Symptoms of Stressed Liver
– Loss of appetite
– Nausea
– Weakness
– Weight loss
– Edema and ascites. When the liver stops making albumin, water increases
in the leg (edema) and abdomen (ascites).
– Bruising and bleeding. Caused when liver slows production of clotting
proteins.
– Jaundice. Yellowing of the skin and eyes.
– Itching. Bile products deposited in the skin may cause intense itching
– Gallstones
– Forgetfulness, poor concentration, or disturbed sleep
– Sensitivity to medication. Because the liver does not remove drugs from
the blood at the usual rate, drugs act longer than expected.
– Portal hypertension. The flow of blood through the portal vein is slowed,
which increases the pressure inside.
– Varices. Blood from the intestines and spleen backs up into blood vessels in
the stomach and esophagus. These vessels swell and are more likely to
burst.
– Lowered immunity. Cirrhosis can result in immune system dysfunction,
leading to infection.

• "High-pigment red phenotypes were most
capable of ... inducing phase II
[detoxifying] enzymes and antioxidant
activities.“
– M. Wettasinghe, University of Wisconsin-
Madison, Madison, Wisconsin
• “Analysis of the data on the hepatocyte cytolysis,
cholestasis, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant system of
blood serum showed that the preparations [beet juice,
peppermint leaves] possess membranoprotector and
antioxidant properties. This was manifested by a decrease
in the activity of alanine aminotransferase and in the levels
of total bilirubin and the final (malonaldehyde) and lipid
peroxidation products.“

Pharmacology, Ul'yanovsk State University, Ul'yanovsk, Russia.
Rice Bran
Rice Bran (Oryza Sativa) is rich in
• Gamma-oryzanol, a triterpene alcohol that is more effective than vitamin E in
stopping oxidation of cholesterol.
• In studies at the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, researchers
concluded that gamma-oryzanol “had activities higher than that of any of the 4
vitamin E components. Gamma-oryzanol may be a more important antioxidant
of rice bran in the reduction of cholesterol oxidation than vitamin E.”
– Z. Xu et al., J Agric Food Chem. 2001.
• Tocotrienols and Tocopherols (Vitamin E). Rice bran is considered one of the
best sources of alpha, beta, gamma, delta tocopherol and tocotrienol
• Squalene, an antimutagen also found in olive oil and shark liver oil.
• "Experimental studies have shown that squalene can effectively inhibit
chemically-induced colon, lung and skin tumourigenesis in rodents.“
– TJ Smith, University of South Carolina (Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 2000)
• "...the high squalene content of olive oil, as compared to other human foods, is a
major factor in the cancer-risk reducing effect of olive oil.“
– HL Newmark, Rockefeller University, New York (Ann N Y Acad Sci. 1999)
• Ferulic acid, an antioxidative, hypotensive polyphenol shown to reduce blood
pressure.
– Suzuki A et al., Short- and long-term effects of ferulic acid on blood pressure in
spontaneously hypertensive rats. Am J Hypertens. 2002 Apr;15(4 Pt 1):351-7.
Rice Bran 2
Rice Bran (Oryza Sativa) is rich in
• IP6 (inositol hexaphosphate) and myo-inositol
– IP6 is a strong chelating agent
– myo-inositol is antimutagenic
– myo-inositol and IP6 have been clinically studied for their effects
against fatty liver at Hiroshima University in Japan. At physiologic
dosages (0.1 -0.5% of diet), these compounds inhibit rises in hepatic
total lipids and triglycerides resulting from administration of sucrose.
• T. Katayama,Anticancer Res. 1999.
• A 1998 University of Maryland School of Medicine study found
that IP6 reverses liver cancer in human liver cancer cell lines.
– Vucenik I et al., (Anticancer Res. 1998).
• Researchers at the National Institute of Health Sciences, Tokyo,
Japan, concluded that phytic acid in rice bran “inhibits hepatic and
mammary carcinogenesis.“
– Sugano M et al., (Anticancer Res. 1999)
Flax Seed
• Flax seed bran is exceptionally high in lignans, which
prevent cellular mutations according to over 50 peer-
reviewed clinical studies.
• The lignans in flax seed also protect the liver against
over burden of toxins, according to recent university
research (Rakuno Gakuen University, Ebetsu, Japan)
• "A lignan-containing flaxseed extract appears to protect
liver cells against CCl(4)-induced necrosis.“
– Endoh D et al., Rakuno Gakuen University, Ebetsu, Japan.
• Lignans have been well-documented to inhibit other
human cancers. According to researchers at the
University of Toronto, “flaxseed inhibits metastasis in
human breast cancer.“
– Dabrosin C et al., University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.
Broccoli Florets
• Broccoli is rich in antimutagens sulphoraphane
and other isothiocyanates
• According to Cornell University scientists,
“Broccoli possessed the highest total phenolic
content, followed by spinach, yellow onion,
red pepper, carrot, cabbage, potato.”
– Y. Chu, Cornell University
• According to Havard University researchers,
“Broccoli was associated with 25-30% reductions
in CVD risk.”
– Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School
• “Selenium-enriched broccoli effectively reduces colon cancer
susceptibility.“
– Zeng et al., United States Department of Agriculture, Grand Forks
Human Nutrition Research Center, North Dakota, USA
• “Brassica species, and broccoli in particular, are associated with
reduced risk of several important cancers.”
– JW Finley, United States Department of Agriculture, Grand Forks
Human Nutrition Research Center, Grand Forks, ND, USA
Spinach
• "Antiproliferative activities were also studied in vitro using HepG(2) human
liver cancer cells. Spinach showed the highest inhibitory effect.“
– YF Chu, Cornell University
• “When administered before and after DOX, natural spinach extract conferred
the most significant cardiac protection. Pretreatment with natural spinach
extract prevented increases in malondialdehyde H2O2/ hydroperoxides,
decreased catalase and increased superoxide dismutase activities compared
to the DOX group.”
– Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan Israel
• "Neoxanthin from spinach significantly reduced cell viability to 10.9% for PC-
3, 15% for DU 145 (prostate cell cancer lines).“
– E Kotake-Nara E, Hokkaido University
• "A total of 927 freeze-dried vegetable samples … were analyzed using the
oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) and ferric reducing antioxidant
capacity (FRAP) methods. On the basis of the ORAC results, green pepper,
spinach, purple onion, broccoli, beet, and cauliflower are the leading sources
of antioxidant activities against the peroxyl radicals.“
– Ou B et al., Brunswick Laboratories
Tomato
• "Active components in tomato, such as
kaempferol and chlorogenic acid, have
antimutagenic activities and lycopene is
the most active oxygen quencher with potential chemopreventive
activities.“
– A. Sengupta, Department of Cancer Chemoprevention, Chittaranjan
National Cancer Institute, Kolkata, India.
• "Several studies have shown an inverse association between tomato
products or lycopene consumption and prostate cancer.“
– RP Gallagher, CL Kutynec, University of British Columbia, Vancouver,
British Columbia
• "Cardioprotective functions provided by the nutrients in tomatoes
may include the reduction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol, homocysteine, platelet aggregation, and blood
pressure.“
– JK Willcox et al., North Carolina State University
L-Taurine
• Recent studies show that the sulfur-bearing amino acid, L-taurine,
increases bile flow and reduces peroxidative (free radical) damage
in the liver.
– AT Nandhini et al, Indian J Exp Biol. 2002.
– T Kishida et al., J Nutr Biochem. 2003 Jan;14(1):7-16.
• Research at the University of Bonn in 2003 showed that taurine
was just as effective as SOD (superoxide dismutase) in reducing
injury to the liver in reperfusion studies. Taurine reduced both
lipid peroxidation and enzyme release, while at the same time
increasing liver bile production.
– Lauschke et al., Surgical Research Divison, University of Bonn,
Germany
• Investigators at University of Shizuoka in Japan found that taurine
increase fecal bile acid excretion, crucial is ridding the body of
toxins as well as excess LDL cholesterol.
