The liver and the lymphatic system

We have already said a lot about the liver and its various functions in previous articles. Here, we will focus on the defensive role of the liver, hepatic malfunctions attributed to intestinal toxaemia. Also, we’ll look at the subsequent infection of other organs due to liver disability.

The first line of defence is naturally the mucosal lining of the alimentary tract. If bacteria or their toxins penetrate the mucosal layer, they can enter either the lymphatic system. Temporary increases in the toxic load of the portal vein occur during conditions of stasis, dietary insufficiencies and the flu.

Colon therapy

Any prolongation of this state will damage the detoxifying and bacteriolytic function of the liver. It’s impossible to overlook the importance of this function once we realized the strategic position of the liver concerning the circulatory system. All of the “toxic” blood enters the liver for cleansing before it flows to the rest of the body. At this point, Wiltsie states that anything which will cleanse the colon of bacteria and toxic material. Should also be beneficial by relieving the liver of some of its duties. He suggests that colon therapy would be advisable for liver and biliary malfunctions.

Dr Wiltsie contends that gastrointestinal abnormality almost always preceded liver and spleen infections. Toxins naturally enter the liver in the form of digestive end-products (ammonia, urea, skatol, indole, phenol, etc.). The liver can handle those. It is the excess that puts the strain on the liver, i.e., pathogens from vicious circles, initiated by other infections.

Effective removed by the lymphatic system

A competent liver forms a significant barrier between intestinal toxins and general circulation. It could lead to hepatic malfunction, which allows intestinal toxins and bacteria to pass through the liver unscathed.

Medical scientists thought that the biliary function was independent of liver disease. Now some physicians look upon it as a secondary infection to that of the liver. Lymph channels common to the bladder and the liver may be another source of disease transmission. It is the liver disorder of one type or another. In other words, it is stressing that if we detect one of three conditions, then most likely we’ll find the other two.

Remaining front

Let’s look at the liver, which cannot handle toxins from the intestine, other focal infections, including the products of necrosis of its won cells, the kidney. Unfortunately, the kidney did not evolve to reduce the amount and kind of toxins that enter the liver. Or to detoxify them as efficiently as the liver. What toxins the kidney does remove from the blood often begin to necrose the renal tubules and eventually renal failure ensues. Thus, it should not be surprising that chronic intestinal disorders lead to liver, kidney, heart, artery, joint, and skin disorders as well.

The remaining front in the second line of defence, the lymphatic system concerns with the removal of solid materials from the intestine. It leads to a spread of toxins through the lymphatics. Several of those travel to the duodenum, stomach, and gall bladder.

Incomplete detoxification by the lymphatic system will allow pathogenic material to enter the circulatory system. With the breakdown of the second line of defence, it is only a short time before intestinal toxaemia ensues.
