Dr Cabot's famous Liver Cleansing and Liver Healing soup recipe

8 cups water
2 – 3 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 finely chopped and peeled ginger
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1 bunch sliced kale or beet greens
2-3 fresh artichoke hearts
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

Add small amounts of 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, turmeric, 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. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the seaweed, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, lentils/beans and stir. Simmer for about 2½ hours.
Add the kale and beet greens15 minutes before you serve. Remove the reishi mushrooms. Stir in the miso/tamari to taste.

Serve alone or with a side salad.

Raw Juices

Drink raw fresh vegetable and fruit juices made daily with a juice extracting machine. See "Raw Juices Can Save Your Life" book. Dr Cabot has known about the incredible healing power of raw juices from a very young age. Her grandmother's life was saved by raw juicing back in the 1930s. Raw juices are an incredibly powerful healing tool and can improve the function of the liver, bowels and kidneys. This increases the elimination of toxins and waste products from the skin.

Appropriate juice recipes found in Dr Cabot's "Raw Juices Can Save Your Life" book.

Recommended juices are:

‘Liver Tonic Juice' page 116
‘Liver Cleansing Juice' page 116
'Antibiotic Juice' p 45
'Immune Dysfunction' p103
'Infections' p105

The fresh raw vegetable juices are vitally important in the nutritional treatment of Hepatitis. It is good to use both whole fruits and vegetables in the diet as well as the juices, as the juices provide an easily absorbable form of nutraceuticals that are very beneficial for the liver. Juices made freshly from raw fruits and vegetables have unique healing & rejuvenating properties. For those who feel they need an extra boost there is nothing better than having a raw juice every day. It will brighten up the day by providing extra energy & endurance. Juices are unique because they allow the gut to receive very concentrated amounts of phyto-nutrients that could not be obtained by eating a normal amount of raw vegetables & fruits. Juices are high in - Vitamin C, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, living plant enzymes to aid digestion & vitamin K, which is in green leafy vegetables.

Increase consumption of essential fatty acids found in foods such as freshly ground flaxseed, avocados, raw nuts and seeds, cold pressed vegetable and seed oils and oily fish such as salmon, sardines and tuna. Essential fatty acids will repair the membranes surrounding the liver cells and reduce inflammation.

Recommended supplements

Organic Flaxseed Oil

High doses of flaxseed oil are essential for improving liver function. Flaxseed is an excellent, vegetarian source of essential fatty acids beneficial for damaged liver cell membranes and assists in reducing inflammation. Some people find the flaxseed oil capsules much easier to consume than the cold pressed flaxseed oil liquid.

LivaTone^® Plus Capsules/Powder

A liver tonic is vital to support the detoxification pathways in the liver, thereby helping the liver to break down toxic chemicals. A well designed liver tonic can support the renewal of new and healthy liver cells. It will also support the filter inside the liver, which removes microorganisms, dead cells and toxins from the blood stream. A healthy liver filter will keep your blood stream clean and free of dangerous toxins and microorganisms. You will require a powerful multi-action synergistic natural liver formula that is able to support all aspects of liver function. Such a tonic is a natural dietary supplement free of chemicals and drugs and is very safe to take on a long-term basis. It should be easy to take in either capsule and/or powder form. The regular use of a liver tonic supports the function of liver cells. It also supports the fat burning efficiency of the liver which helps to keep weight under control. A healthy liver is required to control blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Selenomune Designer Yeast Powder

The mineral selenium can be taken as a natural dietary supplement to compensate for common dietary deficiencies. Selenium has antiviral properties, exerts anti inflammatory effects and is essential for a healthy immune system.

It is also helpful for those with autoimmune diseases and reduces the ability of viruses to multiply. This is vitally important because the amount of liver damage caused by the hepatitis viruses is related to the ability of the viruses to multiply inside the liver cells. It has been categorically proven that patients who are deficient in trace minerals such as selenium and zinc will have more severe viral infections resulting in more severe tissue damage. Selenium has been called the "viral birth control pill' as it reduces viral replication. Selenium yeast powders are an excellent and highly bio-available form of selenium combined with its synergistic cofactors such as zinc, boron, molybdenum, manganese, anti-oxidants and amino acids. These minerals strengthen the immune system. A strong immune system is vital to overcome viral infections of the liver, chronic systemic viral infections and inflammatory diseases. Dosage of selenium-yeast powders is one to two teaspoons daily stirred into fresh fruit or vegetable juices. Patients who are taking selenium yeast powders will notice a big improvement in energy levels and find that after several months the appearance of their hair and skin will improve.

• It is also vital to eat foods rich in natural sulphur containing compounds such as onions, garlic, free range eggs and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage). Sulphur may also be obtained from MSM. MSM stands for Methyl Sulfonyl Methane and is a naturally occurring form of sulphur. Sulphur may assist in the prevention and softening of scar tissue.

Olive Life Tablets

Olive Leaf Extract can be taken in a dose of 500 to 1000mg three times daily just before meals. Olive leaf extract has been shown to have antiviral properties. Use a capsule containing at least a 10% extract of the active ingredient, which is called "oleuropein.
