LIVER DETOX RECIPE FROM RUSSIA
My sister had a very bad case of Hepatitis A when she was a little child. Her liver suffered a lot as a result of this dreadful illness, and ever since then she has been unable to eat various foods, due to difficulties with processing fats and sugars. She goes to see the liver specialist regularly. One day a doctor she was seeing gave her a recipe for liver detox which she has been using ever since, with great results.
The procedure involves Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate, or magnesium sulfate), some warm water, lemon, and a hot water bottle.
She mixes 1 level tablespoon of Epsom salt with a glass of warm water (about 250ml) and drinks it early in the morning when still in bed. Sometimes she uses mineral water. In Russia we have bottled mineral water which is very rich in magnesium sulphate salts, which I have been unable to find here. She has a hot water bottle ready, which she covers with a cloth to keep it warm but not hot, and places it on the liver area, while lying down on her right side. She stays in bed until she feels an urge to pass stool. Epsom salts relax the bile ducts, liver, intestines and promote peristalsis. A hot water bottle placed on the liver increases blood circulation in the liver/ gall bladder area.
The whole process is very powerful and cleansing for the whole body, not just the liver. But of course the liver is the main recipient of this luxurious treatment. A glass of warm water with half a lemon after that works really well, promoting detoxification. My sister goes on without food, on lemon water, for the whole day. She repeats the process once every two weeks. Sometimes she does it every week. The result of this detoxification procedure is raised energy, feeling of lightness, clear mind, better skin. It can also be a great starting point for weight loss. A magnesium chloride bath (or Epsom salt bath) can be used to replenish magnesium in the body and promote the process of detoxification.

MAGNESIUM – THE ENERGY MINERAL
Alongside B-complex vitamins, magnesium is one of the most important nutrients needed for energy production. It takes part in over 320 enzymatic reactions in the body. The enzymes it produces control all of our bodily functions – digestion, utilisation of nutrients – fats, proteins, carbohydrates, elimination of toxins, muscle contraction, reproductive activity, to name but a few.
Out of all these enzymatic reactions, the most important one involves the production of energy from ATP (adenosine triphosphate) – the energy storage molecule. Magnesium activates ATP to trigger a release of energy from ATP which is used by the body to ensure its survival. Without magnesium there can be no energy and no life. When we are deficient in magnesium the cell cannot produce enough energy, so we feel tired.
Another very important role of magnesium involves transmission of nerve signals. Magnesium allows calcium to enter a nerve cell to ensure transmission of electrical signals to and from the brain. Magnesium deficiency means that these transmissions slow down, so mental activity and physiological processes slow down too.
Maintaining optimal magnesium levels is one of the most important factors in keeping us alive, healthy, lean and full of energy. Transdermal supplementation (magnesium baths, spraying magnesium oil on the body) is one of the fastest, easiest and side-effect free ways to replenish magnesium levels in the body and boost energy production.

Bishofit – Magnesium Oil from Russia
Bishofit is a name for magnesium chloride salt which was formed millions of years ago as a result of evaporation of ancient seas. It lies deep underground – and is obtained by dissolving the crystals in water and pumping up the saturated solution. In this respect Bishofit has the same origin as Zechstein magnesium. It owes its name to a German chemist Gustav Bischof who first discovered underground deposits of magnesium chloride in 19th century.
The main constituent of Bishofit in its liquid form is Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate, some calcium sulphate, calcium chloride, calcium hydrocarbonate, sodium chloride, and of course water, with the overall mineral content of 400-450g per 1 litre of water. Additionally, Bishofit contains sodium, iodine, iron, bromide, silica, molybdenum, titanium, lithium, as well as traces of almost all the chemical elements of the Periodic Table.
Healing Properties of Bishofit
People have known about the healing properties of Bishofit for a long time and have been using it to treat muscle cramps, aches and pains, to calm nerves, relax, etc. It is widely used in balneology due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbago, and other conditions of the Musculo-skeletal and Nervous systems. It is also used to treat nervous tension, stress, a variety of skin conditions and a number of other problems.
Bishofit (Magnesium Chloride solution) is widely used in medicine for a number of pharmacological properties.
It has been found to:
* Stimulate protein/fat metabolism
* Reduce inflammation by lowering the levels of histamine and serotonin (mediators of inflammation)
* Speed up rehabilitation processes in the body
* Increase testosterone levels and sperm production
* Increase metabolic rate
* Strengthen immunity
* Slow down ageing
* Reduce cholesterol levels in the blood
* Improve the functioning of the Musculo-Skeletal system
* Reduce blood pressure
* Reduce symptoms of hay fever and allergies
* Significantly reduce heart disease and mortality
* Lower the incidence of cancers
* Improve the functioning of the Nervous System
* Reduce the effects of stress
* Increase phagocytosis
* Speed up tissue regeneration
* Improve skin condition
* Help with respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis, asthma, whooping-cough,
chronic respiratory complaints.
It has been proved to be a:
* Sedative
* Anti-inflammatory
* Bactericidal / fungicidal
* Improve micro-circulation
* Analgesic
* Immune regulator
The scientists of the Volgograd Medical Academy have been working on the research of Bishofit for over 20 years. The mineral has been approved in Russia as a balneological remedy. Considering the wide use of Bishofit in the treatment of various ailments in Russia, as well as its close similarity to a variety of medical products, a number of balneological products based on Bishofit have been developed. Russian scientists are working on pharmacological preparations based on Bishofit.
