Surgeon: Remove Kidneys for Transplant Before Donor’s Death

The severe shortage of viable organs for transplantation in the U.S. has led a transplant surgeon to propose harvesting kidneys from people who are not dead yet.
Dr. Paul Morrissey, an associate professor of surgery at Brown University’s Alpert Medical School, wrote in The American Journal of Bioethics that the protocol known as donation after cardiac death — meaning death as a result of irreversible damage to the cardiovascular system — has increased the number of organs available for transplant, but has a number of limitations, including the need to wait until the heart stops.
Because of the waiting time, Morrissey said that about one-third of potential donors end up not being able to donate, and many organs turn out to not be viable as a result.
Instead, he argues in favor of procuring kidneys from patients with severe irreversible brain injury whose families consent to kidney removal before their cardiac and respiratory systems stop functioning.
A Liver Cleanse the Easy Way

Can you reverse liver damage and fatty liver disease?
As the number one detoxifying organ, the liver is a very vital organ and it is imperative that it function correctly. Even a small problem in the liver can mean serious problems for your body. You may not realize this but the liver cleanses toxins from the body and those same toxins can attack the liver. When this happens, the liver becomes slow to process the large amount of toxins in the body. In fact detoxifying is one of the most important health functions your body does.
This is why it is a good idea to flush the liver periodically and remove harmful toxins.
This is what is known as a liver cleanse. The process of a liver flush or cleanses removes small stones or crystals from this important organ. Before you embark on your liver cleanse it is important that you perform a colon and kidney cleanse too. After completing both of those, you will be ready for a liver cleanse.
For best results – Do a complete colon cleanse at home FIRST
To fully remove toxins from your system and more importantly your blood stream, it is important to perform a liver flush often. This particularly true if you consume a diet high in fast food or alcohol. The good news is a liver cleanse is relatively simple.
The first agent you will need to complete your liver cleanse is apple juice and plenty of it. For five days before your liver flush, you will want to drink copious amount of juice. Apple juice contains malic acid, which will help loosen stones, and other debris connected to the walls of the liver tubules.
The next step involves the use of Epsom salts in water or your favorite fruit drink. This will relax the muscles and soothe the bile ducts. This is important because without it the large particles will cause pain when they exit the liver. Rest assured Epsom salt will make the liver cleanse process much easier on you.
You will next use virgin olive oil, this substance affects the gall bladder and bile duct helping them contract firmly. Liver waste runs through the bile ducts and these are small openings, olive oil will make it easier for large particles to move through and not be trapped.
The final step will include the use of grapefruit and lemons. Between the olive oil and these citric fruits, everything will flow smoothly and help prevent nausea. When the olive oil gets to the intestines, it will lubricate the way to carry the stones and other debris from the liver.
The above techniques will be quite useful in the process of your liver flush, especially in the area of pain prevention. If you have lived your life without ever doing a liver cleanse you will want to do so now, you will be amazed at the difference it can make in your overall health.
