Liver: Scarring
built 632 days ago
The ancient Greek myth of Proteus casts an interesting light on liver regeneration. Prometheus gave Mankind the gift of fire against the wishes of Zeus. Prometheus, by birth a Titan, had already angered Zeus in refusing the gift of Pandora. (His less forward thinking brother Epimetheus married her instead and she ended up opening her Box anyway... unleasing famine, illness, and other bad things on us mortals.) Zeus really was upset by the fact that Prometheus always sided with the Mortals. So he chained him to a rock on Mount Caucasus where every day Zeus’s giant eagle came to eat the liver of Prometheus. But every night the liver of Prometheus would regrow and each new morning would bring another day of agony.

Now as was mentioned earlier, the liver can regenerate itself. The most amazing thing about the liver is that if a person has two thirds of their liver removed through trauma or surgery, it will grow back to the original size within four weeks. This has great spiritual significance. The soul or mind has great regenerative power unto eternal life through Yahshua the Messiah-the Inner Light ... referred to as the Buddha nature by the Buddhist. This shows that a soul can be regenerated without the process of multiple reincarnations.

With the recent "discovery" of a very well known Amazon rainforest plant, Chanca Piedra (Phyllautus niuri), healthcare practitioners have acquired a powerful plant ally in helping their patients maintain optimal bladder, kidney, gallbladder, and liver health. Chanca Piedra is traditionally regarded as a health supplement that can promote the liver’s normal detoxification efforts for purging harmful substances.†

The liver is one of the largest organs in the body, yet it gets very little respect. The brain, heart, and lungs are always described as essential to the bodys health. Without the liver, though, the physical body could not operate.

Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme in the liver. Kids and teens normally have higher levels of ALP than adults, even when they're healthy. But ALP levelsalso tend to be higher when kids have viral infections.
