QUESTION ABOUT SAFETY OF ORTHO PHOSPHORIC ACID

[vanadeux]

Dear Doctors

I am keen to incorporate the use of this substance to assist me in a gallbladder liver cleanse regime

I have found via doing a search on this substance that it appears to be a hazardous substance definately not recommended for internal consumption.

Can you advise me that the products that are sold as a supplement are in some way different or safer?

Also is there a risk of any corrosiveness to internal areas like arteries or the lining of the stomach?

Many Thanks ANNE UK

Hi Anne

Ortho-phosphoric acid helps remove calcium and lipids (fats) from arteries, and helps to normalize cholesterol metabolism. The phosphoric acid, working with malic acid found in apple juice, also helps to dissolve and soften gallstones in the gallbladder.

Inositol is necessary for the formation of lecithin and functions closely with a B complex vitamin, Choline. Since it is not essential in the human diet, it cannot be considered a vitamin. Inositol is a fundamental ingredient of cell membranes and is necessary for the proper function of nerves, brain and muscles in the body. Inositol works in conjunction with folacin, Vitamins B-6 and B-12, choline, betaine, and methionine to prevent the accumulation of fats in the liver. It exists as the fiber component phytic acid, which has been investigated for its anti-cancer properties.

Inositol is primarily used in the treatment of liver problems, depression, panic disorder, and diabetes. It also aids in the breakdown of fats, helps in the reduction of blood cholesterol, and helps to prevent thinning hair. A diet low in Inositol may result in deficiency symptoms that culminate in high blood cholesterol, constipation, eczema, and hair loss.

Neurotransmitters such as seratonin in the brain depend on Inositol to function properly. Low levels of this nutrient may result in depression and some research has shown that increased levels of Inositol appear to be a promising treatment for depression.

You get more phosphoric acid in a can of Coke than you will in doing the flush.
