Liver is important for healing
By Jodi-Hummingbird
Eating liver is very good for your liver. (Eating adrenal glands is good for your adrenals, and eating tongue...is just gross!)

The best type of liver extract is freeze dried and organic like this one or Dr Ron's Ultrapure. This form is far superior to dessicated and defatted forms. Even better is eating fresh organic liver, but many of us can't do that.(I'm still working on how to add liver to my diet without losing the will to live!)

A whole food liver powder is also available. If it is not possible to eat fresh liver, this product could be a very healthy addition to your diet. The advantage of the freshly cooked whole liver and wholefood liver power (placed on the tongue and swallowed quickly with water while holding your nose) is that they are not defatted, as are many encapsulated liver products. This means that they still contain all the original fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and D.

The disadvantage of whole food liver powder is that it really does taste terrible. (No, I have never tasted it before but to me it tastes like GRAVE DIRT! Just unbelievably awful.)

This type of freeze dried liver supplement is recommended (where a person can't eat actual fresh organic liver) as an integral part of healing by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig PhD in their book Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats. They recommend 6 capsules daily.

Liver is also an essential part of programs such as the Gerson program for cancer and Dr Klenner's protocol for treating neurological diseases such as MS. It is powerful stuff.

Liver products contain high levels of the fat soluble vitamins A, K2 and D. They also contain many important cofactors for these vitamins. Liver products are abundant sources of arachidonic acid, EPA, DHA, carnitine, lipoic acid, and the B vitamins.

When it comes to getting the nutrients from liver there are four main options:
* Add some cooked liver into the diet
* Take a liver extract in pill form daily.
* Take cod liver oil daily.
* Have an injections of liver extract.

The liver pills plus some daily cod liver oil (preferably the fermented Green pastures one) is the best way to go with liver I think.
