Why Bother Doing A Liver Cleanse?

I cleanse my liver 2-3 x per year.  Why do I do this?  I detox my liver because I want to STAY healthy!

The liver controls metabolism, and because of this you may lose weight on a diet, but it would be virtually impossible to keep this weight off, if your liver is storing toxins!  The liver is the only organ in the body that can pump fat out of our cells.  The liver also recycles our hormones, and keeps us feeling good!

We can cleanse our liver to treat or prevent.
