The liver is the most important organ in the body, which performs many vital functions. And any changes in this organ affect human health and can be the cause of serious diseases that are associated not only with the gland.
Often people do not think about the health status of their liver until serious problems begin in the body. Many changes are irreversible, terrible and even lethal, so it is extremely important to take care of this body. In addition, the cause of many diseases is liver failure, which leads to general intoxication of the body.
Those who care about their health have probably heard or read about a program such as cleansing the liver with Allohol. 14 days, according to those who have tried this technique, are enough to completely cleanse the body and improve health. Is it so, what are the contraindications for use, is it safe and is it worth it to clean the liver at all - let's figure it out in order.
About liver function
Many substances enter our body, and not all of them are useful. Even with the use of food rich in vitamins, it can also get into the stomach and toxins, bacteria, and many other harmful and dangerous compounds. And do not assume that eating “ideal” food, you are safe from harmful substances: toxins can enter the bloodstream and from the air, and even through the skin.
One of the main “fighters” with the negative influence of harmful substances on the body is the liver. In this gland, blood is cleansed, which is necessary for life.
In addition to detoxification, the liver produces hormones, antibodies, distributes nutrients in the body, and is involved in the digestion process. This body has a lot of different functions, without which we would not have survived. That is why liver health is very important, and the diseases associated with it must be carefully treated.
Why cleanse your liver?
Since our “natural filter” is constantly working for the good of the body, it cannot be overloaded. Synthesis and purification takes place in the liver constantly, and loading it with extra work, we are very risking our health.
When a person overloads the liver, first of all, problems with the stomach and intestines begin. Well, when “malfunctions” begin in these parts of the body, then other organs begin to suffer from an overabundance of harmful substances.
This is especially true after the winter - when there is no way to eat fresh vegetables, people eat a lot of meat, fatty and fried foods. In addition, during the holidays, various alcoholic beverages, the substances of which poison the body, are added to the heavy New Year’s menu. The liver simply does not cope with the task, which is why it begins to accumulate toxic substances and various toxins.
Also, problems with this gland begin after taking potent drugs. It is impossible to create a medication that would act on only one organ and not damage the rest, so almost all “serious” drugs badly affect the functioning of the natural filter.
Even those who lead a healthy lifestyle and monitor their diet are not protected from a decrease in liver function. Often, the body absorbs harmful substances in itself for years that are not completely eliminated, but no one is cleaning because of ignorance.
What does stagnation in the liver lead to?
- Fats begin to be poorly digested, since iron cannot produce enough bile.
- Due to the increased consumption of important substances, immunity is reduced.
- Poisons and toxins begin to accumulate in all human organs.
Symptoms of "blockage" of the liver
A diseased liver does not always hurt, because there are no nerve endings in it. But in any case, problems with this organ affect everyone else, and often become the cause of many diseases.
With stagnation in the gland in a person, the following symptoms appear:
- Fatigue, sleep disturbances, fatigue.
- Digestion problems.
- Changes in weight.
- Changes in blood pressure.
- Skin problems.
- Hair loss.
- Hearing impairment, vision, smell.
- The dark color of urine.
- General deterioration in health.
These symptoms are characteristic of many diseases, which is why often people do not associate changes in health status with problems in the liver.
How to clean the liver?
There are many recipes and liver cleansing schemes. But, alas, not all of them are safe for health, and many can lead to complications.
Before starting any procedure, you must consult your doctor. Almost all methods of cleansing the liver are designed to increase the amount of bile in the body, and in some cases it can be deadly. In addition, there is a big chance that you will be individually intolerant of any substance or drug that is used to cleanse the liver.
Before starting any cleansing, it is necessary to switch to a vegetable diet, not to eat heavy food and alcohol. To cleanse the liver, you need to cleanse the intestines, as the proper effect otherwise will not be. It is necessary to follow a diet 1-3 weeks before cleaning.
The day before you decide to start a cleaning program, it is best to exclude solid foods from your diet and drink natural juices.
Contraindications to liver cleansing
- Kidney stones or gall bladder.
- Pregnancy.
- Viral colds.
- Exacerbation of a chronic disease.
Also, all recipes for cleansing the liver at home have contraindications, which you must familiarize yourself with before starting the procedure. But even if they are not in the instructions, it is better to consult a doctor to find out about the features of using this or that remedy.
The drug "Allohol"
In many homemade folk methods of cleansing the liver, the main idea of the procedure is to increase the production of bile, which, in turn, should “pull” toxic substances along with it. At the same time, metabolism improves, which positively affects the liver. True, in fact, heavy metals and residues of toxins cannot be removed in this way.
And in many recipes there is "Allohol." For the liver, this drug is really useful, it contributes to many improvements in the body. But, on the other hand, the use of only this drug will not give the desired effect, and possibly worsen the state of health.
Also, many who "cleaned" with this drug have an allergic reaction, which is why the cleaning program had to be interrupted. Therefore, before starting use, consult your doctor and familiarize yourself with the composition.
"Allohol": instructions for use, price, active substances
The drug performs 2 functions: choleretic and reflex. Once in the body, the drug enhances the production of bile in the body. When it enters the intestines, it causes cramping, which improves digestion. Since the composition of the drug contains dry garlic, the fermentation processes in the intestine cease, due to which the problem of flatulence disappears.
The active ingredients of the Allohol tablet are dry bile, garlic, nettle and activated charcoal. The price for 50 tablets is from 65 rubles.
Contraindications
Regardless of the purpose for which you use Allochol, contraindications should be carefully studied to avoid dangerous consequences.
- Allergy to the components of the drug.
- Acute hepatitis.
- Jaundice.
- Peptic ulcer.
- Acute dystrophy of the liver.
- Sphincter spasm.
- Kidney stones or gall bladder.
Liver cleansing with Allohol, 14 days
Here is one of the most popular recipes for cleaning both the liver and the body as a whole - a recipe that is designed for 2 weeks of admission. According to many, this program is the most effective, but there are also those who did not like such a liver cleanser "Allohol." Reviews are diverse.
The method does not require any special preparations. All you need to do is take Allohol according to the scheme:
- On the first day - 1 tablet 3 times a day, and every day (up to 7) you need to increase a single dose by 1 tablet. That is, a week after the start of the course, take 7 tablets 3 times a day on the 7th and 8th day.
- Starting from the 9th day, reduce the dose: on the 10th day, one should be 5 tablets 3 times a day, on the 14th - 1 tablet 3 times a day.
This “lethal” dose sharply increases the production of bile, as a result of which the work of the intestines and the gastrointestinal tract as a whole improves. The description of the methodology does not spell out anything about dieting and there are no special instructions on how to eat before, during and after the program.
Is cleaning effective?
This technique is alarming for many because of the increased dosage: on days 7 and 8 it turns out that you need to drink 21 tablets per day. This is really a large dose of the drug, and these days even fans of this method note that unpleasant symptoms appear: diarrhea, stomach pain, cramping. And for some reason, many patients take these symptoms for signs of liver cleansing, although in fact this is not so. In case of severe pain, it is advised to take painkillers, but in fact, it is necessary to stop taking "Allohol." It is also necessary to do this with an increase in body temperature, blood secretions and other serious symptoms.
In addition, according to this method, it is necessary to take "Allohol" before meals, but the instructions indicate the opposite. The fact is that increasing the production of bile increases the acidity of the stomach. And if at this moment there is no food in it, then gastric juices can begin to corrode tissues.
Digestion improves, frequent urge to the toilet begins, which is why many people believe that cleaning the liver with Allochol begins. The reviews of those who tried this method are positive, but many argue that terrible diarrhea begins on day 7-8. Alas, the use of the drug even in such doses does not contribute to the complete cleansing of the liver of toxins and poisons.
In some cases, the use of the drug has a negative effect. "Allohol", the contraindications for use of which are not too extensive, but serious, due to choleretic effect can dramatically remove stones from the body, and if they are large, they can clog the duct. Also, many note the onset of allergic reactions to the drug.
Second way
There is another method that is more likely to help get rid of liver problems. It requires more procedures, but creates the desired effect in just 3 days.
- A day before cleaning, drink a laxative and make a cleansing enema.
- On the day of cleaning, in 3 doses, drink 3 cups of apple juice.
- At 8 pm, drink 3 tablets of “Allohol” and drink a little liquid.
- At 9 pm, take 50 ml of olive oil and 30 ml of lemon juice.
- Then lie on your right side, and put a warm heating pad in the liver area.
- After 2 hours, remove the heating pad and go to bed.
Early in the morning you will need to make a large cleansing enema, eat only fresh vegetables all day without anything. Then gradually return to a normal diet.
This method is more effective than cleansing the liver with Allochol for 14 days, but it has the same contraindications. In addition, after this technique, it is necessary to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, otherwise there will be no sense from the procedures.
It is not recommended to take alcohol while using the drug, since side effects such as diarrhea and pain are possible. Also, during pregnancy, it is important to consult a doctor before taking an appointment.
The drug is also used for weight loss, or rather, normalization of digestion. To do this, within a month you need to take 1 tablet of "Allohol" 3-4 times a day after meals. You can’t continue taking the drug without a break - after the course you need to give the body a rest of 4-8 weeks.
conclusions
Like any other drug, "Allohol" has its own indications for use. In general, in the absence of contraindications, as well as following the recommendations for use, the drug will not bring harm.
Liver cleansing with Allocholum (14 days) - the program is unsafe, and also not very effective. Of course, the body will clear itself of stagnation in the intestines, but it will not work to cleanse the liver - heavy metals and toxins will remain in it. In addition, during use, you will be accompanied by diarrhea and pain, and if you take the drug on an empty stomach, then the appearance of a stomach ulcer is possible.
The drug "Allohol", instructions for use, the price and other information about which is discussed in this article, is quite well known. But for some reason, those who tried the cleansing program often did not even bother to read the instructions. But, fortunately, the information in the inserts was read by those who wanted to try to cleanse the body in this way, because of which many abandoned this idea.
Today, there are other, more gentle and proven methods than cleaning the liver with Allohol at home. In order to find out which ones are right for you, you need to see a doctor - he will conduct an examination and create an individual program for you. Also in many private medical institutions there are a number of procedures aimed at cleansing the liver of patients from toxins and harmful substances. There, under the supervision of doctors, they will really help you and will do everything so that your natural filter works wonderfully and does not fail even after the New Year holidays.
