Licorice Root Nullifies Liver Damage From Alcohol....

Miracle molecule from licorice root nullifies liver damage from alcohol and Tylenol... stunning scientific research has been systematically suppressed by Big Pharma and the FDA

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) In what is undoubtedly one of the most astonishing herbal cures story of the decade, a natural molecule from licorice root extract -- "glycyrrhizin" -- has been repeatedly and scientifically shown to block nearly all liver damage from both alcohol consumption and over-the-counter Tylenol pills (acetaminophen).

Here I've collected PDFs of seven scientific studies that show astonishing "hepatoprotective" effects (meaning it protects the liver) from the cellular damage caused by alcohol and Tylenol. It also happens to exhibit strong anti-viral, anti-tumor and anti-inflammation effects at the same time.

This may be the closest thing to a "miracle cure" for liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer that's ever been discovered. Yet nobody in the pharmaceutical industry has ever mentioned it. The media won't cover it, and the FDA has criminalized any real discussion of this by licorice root manufacturers or supplement companies.

U.S. government blocking the public from learning about this "miracle molecule" for liver health

The U.S. federal government has gone out of its way to block the public from learning this information, even banning a licorice root extract company called "NTX Technology" from being able to put accurate label claims on alcohol products infused with their herb-derived compound called "NTX."

The innovative molecule is "Scientific, preventative and recreational all at the same time—while protecting the liver," NTX Technology founder Chigurupati told the Tasting Panel Magazine last year. Human study trial results showed that NTX massively reduced harmful effects on the liver by up to 93 percent.

Glycyrrhizin from licorice root a powerful, potent liver protector with anti-viral, anti-tumor, anti-inflammation properties

Now, I've compiled some of the highlights of the astonishing research on glycyrrhizin and its related glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) on protecting the liver from alcohol damage and Tylenol damage. Links to each study are provided below.

NOTE: In the science studies below, GL and GA both refer to compounds of glycyrrhizin from licorice root.

The effects of pretreatment with glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid on the retrorsine-induced hepatotoxicity in rats
"The results demonstrated that a three-day pretreatment with either GL or GA exhibited protective effect on retrorsine-induced liver damage in rats."

Recent advances in natural products from plants for treatment of liver diseases
"Glycyrrhizin (Fig. 3), a major biological active constituent of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root, has various pharmacological effects and been used as a treatment for chronic hepatitis.

It is a natural anti-inflammatory and antiviral triterpene and is ancillary drugs used clinically in China for protection of liver function and treatment of tumors. Glycyrrhizin had a protective effect on immunosuppression, a strong non-specific anti-inflammatory effect, and an effect of reducing the incidence of sodium and water retention[29]. These results suggest that glycyrrhizin alleviates CCl4-induced liver injury, and this protection is likely due to the induction of heme oxygenase-1 and the downregulation of pro-inflammatory mediators and may represent a potent drug protecting the liver injury."

Check out this chart from the study, showing how glycyrrhizin drastically reduces expressions of liver inflammation and damage to near zero:

Glycyrrhizic acid modulates t-BHP induced apoptosis in primary rat hepatocytes
"The protective potential against cell death was achieved mainly by preventing intracellular GSH depletion, decrease in ROS formation as well as inhibition of mitochondrial membrane depolarization. [Glycyrrhizic acid] was found to modulate critical end points of oxidative stress induced apoptosis and could be beneficial against liver diseases where oxidative stress is known to play a crucial role."

Glycyrrhizin regulates CD4+T cell response during liver fibrogenesis via JNK, ERK and PI3K/AKT pathway
"Notably, GL not only inhibited ConA-induced proliferation of splenic CD4+T cells but also enhanced the mRNAs of IFN-y and IL-10 in these cells... Moreover, GL significantly inhibited ConA-induced phosphorylation of JNK, ERK and PI3K/AKT in vitro. Collectively, GL might alleviate liver injury and fibrosis progression via regulation of CD4+T cell response in JNK, ERK and PI3K/AKT-dependent pathways.

Liver cirrhosis, the common clinical endpoint of chronic liver diseases, is characterized by tissue fibrosis, replacement of normal liver architecture by structurally abnormal nodules and the development of portal hypertension and other life-threatening complications [1–3]. Inhibition of fibrogenesis at an early stage is nowadays considered as a feasible strategy to treat liver cirrhosis [2,4].

In this study, using ConA-induced mouse liver fibrosis models, we found that glycyrrhizin (GL) significantly attenuated fibrosis progression. GL not only reduced liver inflammation, but significantly suppressed the activation of HSCs and reduced collagen accumulation in mice (Fig. 1).

These changes were accompanied by the down-regulation of CD4+T cells infiltration in the livers and spleens of mice with hepatic fibrosis (Figs. 2 and 3). GL is a natural anti-inflammatory and antiviral triterpene to treat patients with viral hepatitis (hepatitis B and hepatitis C) and to reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatitis-C virus (HCV) infection in China and Japan [22–27,32]. GL could also inhibit the cytotoxicity mediated by CD4+T cells and TNF [33]. GL has a membrane stabilizing effect [34] and also stimulates endogenous production of interferon [21,25,26]. 18-(Beta) GL shows an antiviral activity against a great deal of DNA and RNA viruses due to potential activation of NF-kB and induction of IL-8 secretion [35]. 18-(alpha) GL is also reported to suppress the activation of HSCs and induce the apoptosis of HSCs by blocking the translocation of NF-kB to the nucleus [36]."

Radical scavenging ability of glycyrrhizin
"Glycyrrhizin (Gly), a major constituent of licorice root, has been used for the treatment of chronic liver diseases in Japan... The scavenging abilities of Gly and GA might play a role in the treatment of chronic liver diseases. Glycyrrhizin (Gly), a major constituent of licorice root, is known to have anti-inflammatory,1,2 antiallergic,3e6 and antiviral7,8 activities, and has been used for the treatment of chronic liver diseases by intravenous or oral administration in Japan. Many reports about the biological action of Gly and its mechanisms have been published. 9e11 Gly acts as a radical scavenger in biological systems, such as ischemiaereperfusion injury,12,13 macrophage-like cells,14 and gastric epithelial cells.15"

Pregnane X receptor mediated-transcription regulation of CYP3A by glycyrrhizin: A possible mechanism for its hepatoprotective property against lithocholic acid-induced injury
"Licorice (LE) has been commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for over 4000 years to reconcile various drugs and for hepatic disorders. Glycyrrhizin is the main bioactive component isolated from LE herbs. In the present study we examined the effects of glycyrrhizin on pregnane X receptor (PXR)-mediated CYP3A expression and its hepatoprotective activity.

Glycyrrhizin regulates the expression of the gene mentioned above to prevent toxic accumulation of bile acids in the liver and it also protects mouse livers from the harmful effects of LCA. In conclusion, PXR-mediated effects on CYP3A and CYP7A may contribute to the hepatoprotective property of glycyrrhizin against LCA-induced liver injury."

Hepatoprotective and anti-hepatocarcinogenic effects of glycyrrhizin and matrine
"Matrine (Mat), a component extracted from Sophora flavescens Ait, has a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects. Glycyrrhizin (Gly), a major active constituent of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root, has various pharmacological effects.

The results showed that compared with Gly or Mat alone, Gly + Mat reduced the mortality of acetaminophen overdosed mice more effectively, attenuate acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity, and reduced the number and area of GT positive foci, thus protecting liver function and preventing HCC from occurring. In addition, Gly + Mat had a protective effect on immunosuppression, a strong non-specific anti-inflammatory effect, and an effect of reducing the incidence of sodium and water retention.

Glycyrrhizin (Gly) (molecular formula: C42H62O16), a triterpene glycoside and a conjugative compound of enoxolone and glucuronic acid as an active component of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root, has a variety of pharmacological actions including anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, antioxidative, anti-liver cancer, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective and cardioprotective activities [11–15]. It has been used for more than 20 years in the treatment and prevention of hepatitis, chronic bronchitis, gastritis, tumor growth and immunological disorders."

Pitted vs Unpitted Olives — Which Are Better?

Q. Are there any differences in flavor or texture among pitted and unpitted brine-cured olives? A. To evaluate any differences between pitted and unpitted olives, we gathered both green and black brine-cured olives from deli sections at supermarkets, as well as olives packed in plastic and glass containers. After tasting many samples, it became clear that the pitted olives suffered on two counts: they tasted saltier and their flesh was mushier. They also lacked the complex, fruity flavors of the unpitted kind. Here's why: Before being packed for sale, fresh-picked olives are soaked in brine for periods of up to a year to remove bitterness and develop flavor. Once pitted, the olives are returned to the brine for packing, which can penetrate the inside of the olive and turn it mushy and pasty, as well as increase the absorption of salt. That saltier taste can mask subtler flavors. If you have the time, it makes sense to buy unpitted olives and pit them yourself...

Eat Your Vegetables - They Are Good For You

There's no question that eating three to five servings of fruits and vegetables daily will improve your health. But more and more experts are saying healthy eat ing is not only about how many servings you eat. It's about the variety you pick, too. Eat a diet of solely white foods, and you'll miss key nutrients your body needs—even if your palette includes cauliflower, onions, and mushrooms. Adding a multivitamin doesn't cut it either. "People will say, 'I'm taking a multivitamin, so I don't really need to eat these,' " says Karin Hosenfeld, RD, LD, a dietitian in private practice in Dallas, but she says scientists don't know whether whole foods may offer undiscovered benefits that vitamins don't. "We do know for sure that if you don't eat your fruits and vegetables, you're not getting your fiber, and that's [helping keep] your blood sugar down." Every one of your meals doesn't have to be multicolored...

9 Wonderful Benefits Of Pistachios

The health benefits of pistachios include a healthy heart , weight management, protection against diabetes and hypertension, and improved digestion . The vitamins , minerals , fats, and protein found in pistachio are all good for health. What Are Pistachios? Pistachios are one of the oldest edible nuts and are commonly used all over the world. They are native to Asia, particularly Iran and Iraq. Archaeological evidence dates the association of pistachios and man as early as 6,000 BC. They were cultivated in Iran, Iraq, and Syria and were introduced to the Romans only in 100 AD. Today, apart from Iran, Iraq, and Syria, pistachios are being produced in many countries such as the United States, Australia, Turkey, and China, among others. Pistachio nuts belong to the Anacardiaceae family from the genus Pistacia . A pistachio tree takes about 10 to 12 years to produce the first crop. They are d...

Jacques Pepin's Flatbread Recipe

I saw Chef Pepin make this on one of his shows, and thought, that is almost like the bread I used to make when I lived on the Beach in St. Augustine Florida and I had no yeast. I called it a cheat pizza dough, and I added tons of granulated garlic. Serves 6 1 1⁄2 cups/188g regular all purpose flour 1 cup/250ml water 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml salt 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 2 tablespoons/30ml water Dump everything (except the 2 tablespoons water) into a bowl and "stir it into a gooey stuff" as Jacques says. The dough will indeed be very wet, gooey, sticky. Stir in any optional ingredients. Heat a non-stick 10" / 25.4 cm skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and then pour in the dough. Spread into one flat layer with a spoon or spatula. (A little oil on the spoon or spatula helps keep the dough from sticking to it.) Add remaining water around the outside of the dough where it meets the pan; the o...

Health Benefits of Ginger

What are the therapeutic benefits of ginger? Below are examples of some scientific studies on ginger and its current or potential uses in medical treatment. Inf lammation of the colon A study carried out at the University of Michigan Medical School found that Ginger Root Supplement administered to volunteer participants reduced inflammation markers in the colon within a month. The study was published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research. Experts say that inflammation of the colon is a precursor to colon cancer. Co-researcher Suzanna M. Zick, N.D., M.P.H., explained that by reducing inflammation in the colon a person reduces their risk of developing colon cancer. Zick said "We need to apply the same rigor to the sorts of questions about the effect of ginger root that we apply to other clinical trial research. Interest in this is only going to increase as people look for ways to prevent cancer that are nontoxic, and improve their quality of life in a cost-effect...
