Effects of Curcumin and Bentonite Clay on the Liver

Effects of Curcumin on the Liver

 

• Prevents hepatotoxicity and protects the liver:

Study: “Hepatoprotective effect of curcumin against arsenic-induced toxicity in rats”

Authors: R. Sankar et al.

Journal: Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2014

Findings: Curcumin significantly reduced liver damage caused by sodium arsenite; AST regulates ALT enzymes.

 

•  Protects against liver cancer:

Study: “Curcumin inhibits proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis in HepG2 cells by modulating multiple signaling pathways”

Journal: Cancer Letters, 2008

Authors: Preetha Anand, Chitra Sundaram, Ajaikumar B. Kunnumakkara, Bharat B. Aggarwal

Findings: Curcumin inhibited tumor development by suppressing NF-κB, VEGF and COX-2 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

 

• Supports the liver with detox effect:

Study: “Curcumin protects against cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity in rats”

Authors: M. El-Refaeey, A. El-Boshy et al.

Year: 2018

Findings: Curcumin reduced heavy metal accumulation in the liver and strengthened antioxidant defenses.

 

•  P53 activation and liver cell regeneration:

Study: “Curcumin induces apoptosis through p53-dependent pathway”

Year: 2011

Publisher: Molecular Cancer, Biomed Central

Findings: Curcumin activated the P53 protein in liver cells with DNA damage, supporting cell renewal and apoptosis.

 

 Effects of Bentonite Clay on the Liver

•  Toxin and heavy metal cleansing:

Source: Perry A.’s book Living Clay – Nature’s Own Miracle Cure

Findings: Calcium bentonite binds toxins, heavy metals and chemicals with a positive ion charge and removes them from the body. Reduces the detox burden of the liver.

 

•  Aflatoxin cleaning:

Study: “Bentonite clay reduces the toxic effects of aflatoxin in animal models”

Journal: Journal of Applied Toxicology, 2015

Findings: It prevents the absorption of liver-damaging toxins such as aflatoxin from the intestines and protected.

 

•  Protects against radiation:

Source: “Bentonite clay absorbs radiation and heavy metals”

Publisher: Journal of Environmental Science, 2007

Findings: It has shown binding properties against toxic substances that target the liver such as radiation, mercury, and lead.

 

•  Homeostatic balance and pH regulating effect:

Source: “Living Clay – Perry A.”

Findings: Bentonite clay supports liver functions by providing pH and ion balance via the gut-liver axis.

 

 Burzek’s Potential Benefits for the Liver

• Supports cell renewal (curcumin – P53 pathway)

• Reduces inflammation and fibrosis (curcumin – COX2 and NF-κB suppressor)

• Cleanses heavy metal and toxin load (bentonite – ion binding effect)

• Regulates the immune system (curcumin – antioxidant and immunomodulator)

• Balances liver enzymes
