Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said …

“Heroin knocks out the adrenals, cocaine knocks out the liver, marijuana knocks out the lungs, alcohol knocks out the liver, and caffeine knocks out the pancreas. Good food knocks out the mouth, and bad food knocks out the buttocks.”

Alcohol makes beta-carotene and other carotenoids toxic to the liver, especially to diabetics and those with metabolic disorders like cancer.

Alcohol’s toxicity is dose-dependent; hence, the advice, “Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake, and thine often infirmities,” according to 1 Timothy 5:23.

The emphasis is on a LITTLE.

Adano cautioned …

“A big liver is the person who wants to run the show.”

More than 5 percent of alcohol in the stomach at any one time causes digestive disturbances before it ever reaches the liver.

Hans A. Baer, Merrill Singer, & Ida Susser (Medical Anthropology and the World System, Second Edition, 2003) wrote …

(1) “Stomach and intestinal ulcers can develop because constant alcohol use irritates and degrades the linings of these organs.”

(2) “Blood pressure goes up as the heart compensates for a reduction in blood pressure caused by alcohol, resulting in an increase in heart problems and stroke.”

(3) “Male reproductive cell (i.e., sperm) production goes down because of decreased sex-hormone secretion from the hypothalamus/pituitary.”

(4) “Poor nutrition associated with regular inebriation decreases levels of iron and vitamin B leading to anemia.”

The liver has 3 circadian phase-angle relationships affected by alcohol …

(1) Alcohol can cause stomach ulcers (Stomach Time is the 90-degree time shunt for Liver Time) and duodenal ulcers (Small Intestine Time is the 180-degree time shunt for Liver Time).

(2) Blood pressure elevation is mainly due to the Pericardium Meridian (Pericardium Time is the 270-degree time shunt for Liver Time).

(3) Decreased sperm production is also in phase-angle relationship with the Pericardium Meridian, also known as the Circulation-Sex Meridian.

(4) Lack of iron and the B vitamins affect the liver directly. The liver’s Cytochrome P450 enzymes can’t be synthesized without iron and thiamine.

Garlic and egg yolk protect the liver from alcohol when eaten at Circulation-Sex Time (7:00-9:00 pm).

Garlic contains allithiamine, a fat-soluble and more potent form of thiamine (vitamin B1), and the sulfur in both garlic and egg yolks helps shepherd thiamine into the liver.

An alkaline diet impedes the absorption of thiamine, which can be a good thing if you know WHEN to impede it.

For example, thiamine is one of cancer’s favorite nutrients – and one reason alkalinity retards the growth of cancer.

Cancer is an ISOPARASITE – an endocrine gland in training – so preventing cancer is a QUANTITATIVE nutritional issue, whereas stopping its actual growth is a QUALITATIVE issue.

Dr. Emanuel Revici’s June 13, 1985 U.S. Patent #4701442 states …

“The abnormal conditions which result from the presence of abnormal histones and nucleoproteins give rise to a foreign formation known as [an] isoparasite. The abnormal neoplastic cells are essentially a parasite on the host tissue.”
