Let's take a look at how some of the key ingredients in this Portobello Mushroom Stew can provide healing support:

Mushrooms: Contains hundreds of undiscovered phytochemical compounds, many of which detoxify the liver without harming it. Mushrooms are medicine for the liver. Many people fear mushrooms because they believe that their fungal origin means that they feed the fungus in the body. It's the exact opposite. A fungus is a fungus that destroys fungi, and the liver accepts fungi as allies - if your liver is fighting unwanted microorganisms such as fungus, mushrooms are very helpful in pushing them out of the liver. Mushrooms also reduce fungi, bacteria and viruses in the intestinal tract, allowing cleaner nutrients and cleaner blood to enter the liver.

Potatoes: They are rich in amino acids, which specifically suppress the growth of viruses. Potatoes are high in glucose, which provides nutrients for the liver, as it is what the liver relies on to keep itself strong. It also helps build up glycogen stores, the resource that protects us from blood sugar problems, weight gain, fatty liver and dirty blood syndrome. Potatoes keep the liver grounded and stable, which ensures a healthy body. While some people shun potatoes because of their vegetable origin, they actually have the ability to help with many varieties of chronic ailments.

Onions: Much like garlic, onions have antimicrobial sulfur compounds that flush out unfriendly pathogens from the liver. Onions have a disinfecting effect on the liver, protecting it from inflammation. It also improves the liver's temperature control or "thermostat" so that it can heat and cool properly.
