NUTRITIONAL FUNCTIONS

The liver governs almost the entire detoxicating system in the body, especially in the intestines. All food decomposed in the intestines is directed towards the liver, except for the fats which are directed through the lymph system. It follows that the functional disorders of the liver will involve a slowing in the intestines. The liver sends toxic elements outwards through the intestines. In this connection cholesterins and porphyrins act as intermediaries among the homoglobin tissues and are consumed by the liver. In modern therapy the liver is exposed to harmful retoxication in many ways. This entails a merely intermittent emission or absorption of intermediary elements and this intermittence has repercussions in the intestines. The outcome is flatulence, gas in the abdomen or intestine, flatulent colic, intestinal cramps which are often considered as the after-effects of appendicitis or even of tumors. These ailments can also be induced by nicotine. Chronic constipation is a frequent concomitant and Intestinal Colic Drops become even more imperative.
