Arthritis and your Liver

The liver creates many enzymes to neutralize the chemicals in your body. Your liver has to work harder to neutralize chemicals when you consume excessive amounts of the wrong foods.

Excessive amounts of alcohol, saturated fats, high-protein diets, cigarette smoke, fumes etc can put extra unnecessary stress on the liver. In the long run the extra work placed on your liver may weaken it to the point that it is unable to deal with the high levels of toxins, allowing them to attack your body and cause harm.

To prevent your liver being placed under unnecessary stress, you should increase your daily intake of anti-oxidants such as vitamin A, C, E, Zinc, and selenium, which can be achieved by eating fresh fruit and vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, green peppers, watercress, berries, beetroot and red grapes.

How Food Can Heal Your Body!

Celery

Celery is almost a specific for rheumatism, gout, and nervous indigestion. The most useful plants for this purpose are small, not too rapidly grown nor very highly manured. It may be eaten raw, or steamed, or in soup. Strong celery broth flavoured with parsley is excellent.

Gooseberry

The juice of green gooseberries [Pg 43] "cureth all inflammations," while the red gooseberry is good for bilious subjects. But it has been said that gooseberries are not good for melancholy persons. Gooseberries are an excellent "spring medicine."

Lemon

Lemons are invaluable in cases of gout, malaria, rheumatism, and scurvy. They are also useful in fevers and liver complaints. I have found the juice of one lemon taken in a little hot water remove dizzy feelings in the head, accompanied by specks and lights dancing[Pg 45] before the eyes, consequent upon the liver being out of order, in half an hour.

The juice of a lemon in hot water may be taken night and morning with advantage by sufferers from rheumatism. In the "lemon cure" for gout and rheumatism, the patients begin with one lemon per day and increase the quantity until they arrive at a dozen or more. But I think this is carrying it to excess. Dr. Fernie recommends the juice of one lemon mixed with an equal proportion of hot water, to be taken pretty frequently, in cases of rheumatic fever.

A prescription for malaria, given in the Lancet, is the following: "Take a full-sized lemon, cut it in thin transverse slices, rind and all, boil these down in an earthenware jar containing a pint and a half of water, until the decoction is reduced to half a pint. Let this cool on the window-sill overnight, and drink it off in the morning."

A Florentine doctor discovered that fresh lemon juice will alleviate[Pg 46] the pain of cancerous ulceration of the tongue. His patient sucked slices of lemon.
A German doctor found that fresh lemon juice kills the diptheria bacillus, and advises a gargle of diluted lemon juice to diptheric patients. Such a gargle is excellent for sore throat.

Dr. Fernie recommends lemon juice for nervous palpitation of the heart. Lemon juice rubbed on to corns will eventually do away with them, and if applied to unbroken chilblains will effect a cure.

Lemon juice is also an old remedy for the removal of freckles and blackheads from the face. It should be rubbed in at bedtime, after washing with warm water.
