II. Liver overload<br />
• All the blood from the gut drains through the liver, this will cause<br />
an overload of toxic material if the gut is too permeable<br />

Liver overload is the second vicious cycle of the leaky gut, as all the blood of the<br />
gut drains through this organ via the portal vein.<br />
It is important to keep in mind that all patients with increased intestinal<br />
permeability will have a liver overload, and by inference a systemic toxicity.<br />
Detoxification and drainage as a pillar is thus of high importance when treating<br />
patients with a leaky gut.<br />
