Signs of a Toxic Liver & Reversed Toxin Flow
Toxicity is a vastly underestimated root cause of many symptoms.
The main organ of detoxification is the liver that filters blood to dump toxins through the bile into the intestines and out the bowels.
When the liver is overwhelmed toxins don’t move out and can create symptoms anywhere in the body.
Toxins can even flow back into the blood for reversed toxin flow.
Signs of toxins stuck or flowing back into the blood:
1 . Constipation
2. Gallbladder pain
3. Low energy, brain fog
4. Headaches
5. Sleep difficulties
6. Pain, inflammation, free radical damage,
7. SIBO, gut infections not cleaned by bile flow
8. Nausea
Signs of secondary detox pathway activation when the liver cannot do it all:
9. Increased urination, night time urination: kidneys working overtime. Back pain for heavy kidney overload.
10. Skin outbreaks, itches: lymph detoxing
11. Mucous: sinuses, throat, lungs excreting toxins through the flu, colds, viruses, that are detoxes.
12. Vomiting aka reverse peristalsis.
Some skin outbreaks may be just the shortest route out, like insect repellent on my skin that I smelled coming out after spraying H202 on my skin.
Bile flow is a major mechanism of peristalsis to create bowel movements to keep toxins flowing out.
Constipation thus represents a slowing and blocking of the process, and this means that toxins are flowing back into the blood and being redistributed to create symptoms and calling on other body systems to excrete toxicity. Dr Christopher Shade explains this reverse flow as “leaky liver.”
Dr Shade explains that if toxic metals like mercury flow back into the blood then kidneys are the next in line to work harder as a back-up, but this is not their main function and health suffers.
Dr. Shade devised a mercury test to assess kidney stress by measuring the ratio of mercury in the blood versus urine.
- Low mercury in the urine and high in the blood, relatively, means excess mercury is not being processed out of the kidneys.
- High mercury in the urine relative to blood means kidney excretion is good relative to the toxic load in the blood, which means the liver is probably handling some of the mercury, too.
Symptoms of the kidneys working harder can be increased urine volume experience as more frequent urination that you might notice more if you are waking up at night.
Really overloading the kidneys with detoxification can create back pain in which they so inflamed you have trouble moving and you think you strained your spine.
Toxic load in the blood leads to relying more on other channels the lymph excreting through the skin which creates itching, burning, etc.
People with mercury poisoning have had chronic rashes on their ankles, which I had as a teenager and it went away as an adult but I only got worse. I also had crotch itch, which is close to the urinary tract. So I was no longer detoxing out the ankles. No one seems to know why the ankles.
In some of my experiments in aggressive detoxification I have experience multiple symptoms all at once: higher urine volume, slight constipation, sinus congestion, restless sleep, skin outbreaks, and headache. Once I put it together I got the bowels moving and supported the liver and everything cleaned out fast. I’m not going to say how, that varies with everyone and can create too much detox for people at another level
If you are reading this as a social media post, don't ask me to interpret your symptoms.
The point is that once you know some basics of how the organs function as system you can focus on some weak link organs and root causes, which are usually nutrition and toxicity, although there are others.
A complete solution includes:
- Designing your ideal customized diet
- Identifying all nutritional deficiencies.
- Detox strategy that strengthens your body’s multiple detox pathways, not just a few binders that don’t rebuild the body, although those can help, too.
Solutions must be customized, complete, and certain things quantified and paced based on tolerance.
This is done through energetic testing.
