5. Liver cleanse: http://www.drclark.net/cleanses/beginners/liver-cleanse
This liver cleanse is very fun to do. I never have any pain at night. And it's amazing to see the little balls floating in your toilet that come out of the liver. It's very satisfying! Optional- but you should really know what this is like, first hand, if you are going to recommend it to your patients. It can be very healing as you will read.
1. Liver
Spiritual Value: Processes emotions, feelings, problems, joys, triumphs, disappointments…When the liver processes an emotion of a low vibrational such as fear, anger, resentment; It is thick and difficult to process. When the liver processes something of a higher vibration such as joy, forgiveness, compassion; It clears the physical liver up.
Scientific Definition: The liver is a vital organ of vertebrates and some other animals. In humans, it is located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, below the diaphragm. The liver has a wide range of functions, including detoxification of various metabolites, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. It also plays a role in metabolism, regulation of glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells and hormone production.
The liver is a gland. It is an accessory digestive gland and produces bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion via the emulsification of lipids.
2. AP Reading:
I saw my AP’s liver as mostly healthy as she practices being present when eating especially blueberries and leafy greens, spending time in the sunshine and as she has a softness of compassion in her heart. The unhealthy energy of the liver was angry, hostile and resentful towards specific men who had abused her physical body as well as lack of sleep during the moon’s cycle and other things. I worked with my AP to release the inner child that was stuck in her energy not feeling loved and I saw that the men that wronged her, she had actually wronged in a past life causing her to realize her power in this lifetime to use “magic” for good.

4. EEG: Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. It is typically noninvasive, with the electrodes placed along the scalp.
Corneal Transplant: Corneal transplantation, also known as corneal grafting, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced by donated corneal tissue (the graft). When the entire cornea is replaced it is known as penetrating keratoplasty and when only part of the cornea is replaced it is known as lamellar keratoplasty.
Organ Farming: AKA Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ.
5. I haven’t done the liver cleanse, but I do want to look into doing it.
1. (Updated Scientific Definition) The liver is a gland. It is a digestive gland and produces bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion. The liver is a reddish-brown wedge-shaped organ with four lobes of unequal size and shape. A human liver normally weighs 3.2–3.7 lbs. It is both the heaviest internal organ and the largest gland in the human body. Located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity. The liver is connected to two large blood vessels: the hepatic artery and the portal vein.
3. Healing foods updated. Beets (cooked, spinach).
LIVER
Spiritual: The liver processes intense emotion like rage and anger. A cleansing wash, spiritually removing toxins, impurities, foreign bodies from the blood. Strong Emotions and moods are caused by the depleted liver. Once cleansed liver lets in positivity, joy freedom. Do not internalize negativities; Cleanse them in the liver. Nourish your liver and let your genuine personality shine through. Practice self-love.
Physical: The liver is a large, meaty organ that sits on the right side of the belly. Weighing about 3 pounds, the liver is reddish-brown in color and feels rubbery to the touch. Normally you can’t feel the liver, because it’s protected by the rib cage.
The liver has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes. The gallbladder sits under the liver, along with parts of the pancreas and intestines. The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food.
The liver’s main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body. The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs.
1. Healthy liver cells are ripe, pudgy and happy. Acknowledge your liver, it feels neglected. Good nutrition is essential for a healthy liver. Healthy liver cells are ripe, pudgy and happy. Acknowledge your liver, it feels neglected. Good nutrition is essential for a healthy liver.

1.) Physical-
The liver is located underneath the right lung. The liver has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes. The gallbladder sits under the liver, along with parts of the pancreas and intestines. The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food.
The liver’s main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body. The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs. As it does so, the liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines. The liver also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions.
Spiritual- Energetically the liver holds on to all emotions and wants to be able to filter them out in a healthy way. Frustration and anger hold in the liver which cause elimination to be harder and less smooth. Liver is who you are and wants to be honored and self- appreciated. The liver wants us to process emotions and release them. Forgiveness happens in the liver as well as the heart.
2.) Ap reading- Unhealthy- inflammation from spicy foods and nervousness within a new situaion. Healthy- In vibrant and healthy condition. Summary- Softly acclimating to new new situation and will be helpful to bring in more raw dandelion to help liver process foods as well as emotions more easily.

3.) Ventriculostomy- Neurosurgical procedure which creates a hole in cerebral ventricle used for drainage.
5.) Read over liver cleanse instructions- I will be doing this soon. In the meantime i’m drinking an everyday detox tea.
Liver: Spiritual value: It helps us filter our communications, both in what we say to others and what others say to us. If someone is toxic for us, the energetic liver helps to detoxify and deactivate their influence on us, or to understand that they are not good for us to be around. It helps us flow clearly through life by filtering and removing our own toxic thoughts and emotions..
Physical value: The liver filters the blood coming from the digestive tract, converting nutrients and drugs absorbed from the digestive tract into ready-to-use chemicals. It also removes toxins & other chemical waste products to be excreted in the urine.
2. The tip of her liver is dark & hardened due to Hep C; irritations in the liver reflect feelings of being wrongfully accused & also of others not seeing her beauty.

5. Travelling so have not done this.
(Updated info on liver)
The liver is located in the upper right portion of the abdominal cavity, beneath the diaphragm and on top of the stomach, right kidney, and intestines. It is a dark reddish-brown organ that weighs about 3 pounds. There are 2 sources of blood supply to the liver: 1) oxygenated blood flows in from the hepatic artery; 2) Nutrient-rich blood flows in from the hepatic portal vein. The liver holds about one pint of the body’s blood supply at any given time.
The liver consists of 2 main lobes. Both are made up of 8 segments that consist of 1,000 lobules (small lobes). These lobules are connected to small ducts that connect with larger ducts to form the common hepatic duct. The common hepatic duct transports the bile made by the liver cells to the gallbladder and duodenum (1st part of the small intestine) via the bile duct. Bile is a product excreted by the liver that helps carry away waste products from the liver and which breaks down fats in the small intestine during digestion.
All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver, which filters the blood coming from the digestive tract, converting nutrients and drugs absorbed from the digestive tract into ready-to-use chemicals. It also removes toxins & other chemical waste products to be excreted in the urine.
More than 500 vital functions have been identified with the liver, including those mentioned above. Also, the production of certain proteins for blood plasma, production of cholesterol and special proteins to help carry fats through the body, conversion of excess glucose into glycogen for storage, processing of hemoglobin for use of its iron content, regulating blood clotting, resisting infections by making immune factors and removing bacteria from the bloodstream. The liver can regenerate damaged parts of itself.
1. Copied conditions.
LIVER
Spiritual Value: The liver is all about knowing where the individual starts and where they end, and most importantly, letting others know about those boundaries. It wants us to know who we are, to love who we are, and to be fully embodied in our self. When healthy, the liver experiences freedom, good boundaries, self-love, and safety. The liver processes emotions, and when you love, believe, and are grounded in yourself, the liver will process more easily.
Physical Value: a large, reddish-brown, glandular organ located in the upper right side of the abdominal cavity, divided by fissures into five lobes and functioning in the secretion of bile and various metabolic processes. Filters blood coming from the digestive track and passes it to the rest of the body. Detoxifies chemicals and drugs, secreting bile back into the intestines.
2. Unhealthy aspects: alcohol and caffeine depleting APs liver and dimming her internal fire, keeping her in a viscous cycle of frustration about these choices which causes her to want to consume more alcohol and caffeine, which continues to weaken her third chakra/ will center, and the cycle perpetuates. Also saw a connection of the liver to the heart; her heart was experiencing pain which was causing her liver to have to work harder.
Healthy aspects: AP keeps her energy body very clean, specifically by using her creative energy and expressions as a gateway to connect with and be cleansed by Source. So when she taxes her liver or gives it things it doesn’t like, it is able to handle and process it very quickly and easily. Saw apples not only having a positive physical effect on her liver, but also giving her liver the grounding it needs.
We focused on releasing the energies of guilt, shame, frustration, failure, etc., that were keeping her in the unhealthy cycle, and filling with self-acceptance, vibrancy, vigor, vitality, and also focused on softening the conglomerated energy around her heart so that she can begin to process the energy bit by bit.

4. Will watch today
5. Liver cleanse this weekend.
1. More on the physical aspects of the liver:
The liver is connected to the diaphragm, by the coronary ligament in the middle and the left and right triangular ligaments on the ends. The liver is also connected to the umbilicus, by the round ligament (ligamentum teres) at the end of the falciform ligament. The round ligament is a remnant of the umbilical vein that carries blood into the body during fetal development.
Bile ducts are tubes that carry bile through the liver and gallbladder, and form a branched structure known as the biliary tree. These bile ducts join to form the larger left and right hepatic ducts, which then join to form the common hepatic duct that drains all bile away from the liver. This duct finally joins with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct, carrying bile to the duodenum of the small intestine. Most of the bile produced by the liver is pushed back up the cystic duct by peristalsis to arrive in the gallbladder for storage, until it is needed for digestion.
Blood traveling to the spleen, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, and intestines is collected into the hepatic portal vein, which delivers blood to the tissues of the liver before being passed to the rest of the body.
The internal structure of the liver is made of around 100,000 small hexagonal functional units known as lobules. Each lobule consists of a central vein surrounded by 6 hepatic portal veins and 6 hepatic arteries.
Liver’s functions – metabolism, storage, digestion, detoxification, immunity, and bile production.
1. Liver
Spiritual Value: The liver processes emotions and is connected to the pain and suffering we experience relating to ideas and beliefs about who we are supposed to be (connection to the outside world and perception of others).
Physical Value: The liver is a large, meaty organ that sits on the right side of the belly and weights about 3 pounds. The color is reddish-brown and feels rubbery. It’s protected by the rib cage. The liver has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes or the right and left hepatic ducts. The liver’s main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body. The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs. The liver also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions. The hepatic artery supplies oxygen rich blood that is pumped from the heart, while the portal vein supplies nutrients from the intestine and the spleen. The gallbladder sits under the liver, along with parts of the pancreas and intestines. The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food.
2. AP Reading: AP’s liver was energetically open and moving – receptive to the flow of blood passing through. AP’s liver was also infected with a parasite that represented the agreements she had made in her life to accept negative self-limiting beliefs imposed by others as something true. We healed the liver by pulling out the parasite and releasing the body of these old beliefs so that new more positive beliefs can be embedded into the liver.

4. Greys Anatomy
Cordotomy (or chordotomy) is a surgical procedure that disables selected pain-conducting tracts in the spinal cord, in order to achieve loss of pain and temperature perception. This procedure is commonly performed on patients experiencing severe pain due to cancer or other incurable diseases.
Melena or melæna refers to the dark black, tarry feces that are associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The black color and characteristic strong odor are caused by hemoglobin in the blood being altered by digestive enzymes and intestinal bacteria.
Prostate Biopsy: A prostate gland biopsy is a test to remove small samples of prostate tissue to be looked at under a microscope. The tissue samples taken are looked at for cancer cells.
5. I have heard great things about this cleanse, but I have not tried it yet.
Liver defenition-
The liver is a rubbery organ which sits underneath the right lung. It is the largest organ in the body and is also considered to be a gland. It has 2 lobes the left and the right which is the larger portion of the liver. The liver has hundreds of roles, some of the major ones include, metabolizing proteins, filtering blood and waste products from our body, storing of minerals, fat and carbohydrate metabolism as well as producing bilirubin. Bilibrubin is the breakdown of Hemoglobin. The liver has 2 major sources of blood, One is called the Portal vein which brings in nutrients from the digestive system. The Hepatic artery brings oxygenated blood from the heart.
