Dr Cabot’s Famous Liver Cleansing and Healing Soup
Vegetable soups are healthy and easy to digest. You may use any vegetables of your choice and use miso or vegetable stock to flavor. You can add beans and chickpeas and lentils if desired to provide phyto-estrogens, which have an anti-cancer effect.
8 cups water
1-2 tablespoons of cold pressed olive oil
2 potatoes, chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 beets, chopped
2 Stalks of celery (including the tops), chopped
1 large red onion, chopped
1 inch (30mm) finely chopped and peeled ginger root
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1 bunch sliced kale or beet greens
2-3 artichoke hearts (fresh or canned in brine)
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, fresh or reconstituted sliced
1 whole reishi mushroom (remove when cooked)
¼ cup arame or wakame seaweed, chopped
1 cup cooked beans or lentils
Celery seed, turmeric, pepper and miso (or tamari) to taste
In a large saucepan add the oil and bring to a moderate - high heat.
Add the celery (plus tops), ginger root, tumeric, tomato, potato, carrots, beets, onions, celery seed and garlic and some pepper. Stir continuously so the vegetables do not stick to the bottom.
When the vegetables begin to brown carefully add the water and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the seaweed, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, lentils/beans and stir, then simmer for about 2½ hours.
Add the kale and beet greens 15 minutes before you serve.
Remove the reishi mushrooms.
Stir in the miso/tamari to taste.
Serve alone or with crusty bread and a side salad.

If it’s faulty or wrongly described, we’ll replace it.
What is a good book to read with just what I need to know. Thank you for your time.
soups and stews are healthy as they contain meat and vegetables. The foot patches will not be helpful.
the best thing is to get my book FATTY LIVER YOU CAN REVERSE IT - full of great tasty recipes to reverse fatty liver and has interesting case histories. The proven supplement to reverse fatty liver is called LIVATONE PLUS - take 2 capsules twice daily and once your liver is non fatty stay on 2 capsules daily long term to keep your liver healthy. I do have a lot of excellent videos on reversing fatty liver on you tube and also on www.liverdoctor.com
you can also phone my excellent naturopath Christine Ki on 1 623 334 3232 in Phoenix and this is a free advisory service.

If you have a mushroom allergy leave them out but these are medicinal mushrooms and not simply in the soup for the flavor.
Unfortunately the soup will be far less beneficial without them.
Asian countries use medicinal ingredients in their recipes for sustained good health, and it is a lesson we are wise to adopt.

is there a recipe for one?
what is the benefit in drinking this soup?
will this help for the pancrease as well
We recommend the addition of a bowl of this soup at least once daily.
The recipe is in the article.
The ingredients have been chosen because of their liver healing and sustaining properties.
When the liver is healthy and functioning well, it follows that the whole digestive tract functions far more effectively and this contributes to the organs of the whole digestive and elimination systems, including the pancreas.

https://www.liverdoctor.com/salt-really-bad/ indicates that a certain amount of salt is beneficial for health.
Sufficient water is very important for liver health and we require approximately 1 ½ litres daily to keep the liver well hydrated.
The most important substance to limit, for liver health, is sugar.
The only salt in the recipe is from naturally occurring salt that may be in the vegetables or still attached to the seaweed you choose, and in a recipe that begins with 8 cups of water any salt in the vegetables is likely to be insignificant per serving. Salt is a personal preference and if you tend to not consume much, you may not need to make any addition.
