Hints and Info

Liver Flush

Before you cleanse, make sure to clear out the colon. If there is food stuck or blocked in the colon it must be flushed out first. This may be accomplished by getting colonics (colonic irrigations) which are performed by health professionals such as nurses. Or you can do an enema at home with a prepared over-the-counter enema preparation from your drugstore. An enema will however cleanse mostly the lower colon or rectum, and will not flush other parts of the colon. You can find colon-cleansing products from your local health food store. At any rate, some colonic cleanse should be taken, and also drink at least 6-8 glasses of water daily. Eating a light diet consisting of mainly fruits and vegetables will also help to prepare your body for the cleanse.

NOTE: If you suspect that you have GALLSTONES, do NOT do this cleanse! Get an ultrasonic check-up from your doctor first. This information is not intended to take the place of conventional medical care. Consult with your doctor before beginning any kind of detox program or diet.

Gall Blatter Flush

Here is a five-day liver/gall bladder flush that will really help restore your vitality by purifying and cleansing the organs and blood:

1. From SUNDAY breakfast through FRIDAY lunch:

· Eat a light, healthy diet consisting mainly of fruits and vegetables for the duration of this program. In addition to 64 ounces of pure water, drink at least one quart of apple juice or apple cider a day (preferably organic). Why? This much apple will soften the sludge that can build up in the gall bladder. The job of the gall bladder is to emulsify fats, but when it is backed up with waste matter and sludge it will not do its job, contributing to gas, bloating, GI tract discomfort, heartburn, etc.

Avoid fried and fatty foods such as French fries, meats, pork, McDonald's

2. 3 hours after Friday lunch:

· Dissolve 3 teaspoons of epsom salts or disodium phosphate into an ounce of hot water and drink it down. You may chase that down with grapefruit juice as it is very salty. Eat nothing else for the rest of the day Friday.

3. 2 hours after the above on Friday:

· Repeat Step 2. Drink plenty of water. The drinks are very salty but they do clear a pathway for bile and sludge to pass through without getting stuck anywhere. It's a good idea to drink grapefruit or lemon juice at this time, because it helps to alkalinize the body (detoxifying can cause a temporarily acidic condition in the body and this will balance that effect). If you cannot drink citrus fruits, you can put a half teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of your drinking water. Or you can find alkalinizing products at your health food store, like Glyco-Thymoline.

4. Before going to bed Friday night mix a half cup of unrefined olive oil with a little lemon or grapefruit juice and drink it down (I know, I know ...) If this makes you feel queasy have a few sips of Coke to settle your stomach.

5. Last step, hooray! When you go to bed lie on your right side with your right knee pulled up to your chest for a half hour. This helps the processing of oils via the stomach so that the gall bladder will be prepared to receive them.

When you put your leg down again after the half hour, the gall bladder will have a little tension squirt of bile through it, and you may feel this - some people have reported that they do feel a tugging sensation in that area. Then, go to sleep! By then, you will want to!

6. First thing next morning (Saturday), dissolve two teaspoons of Epsom salts in two ounces of hot water, add a bit of lemon or grapefruit juice. Drink this and eat nothing for about two hours afterward. The purging action of this will get the sludge out that was released last night from the gall bladder.

This cleanse is best accomplished when you are not extremely active, making plans or socializing! You will want access to a bathroom and you may feel like not doing much at all. Sometimes cleanses are accompanied by headaches and light headedness. This is part of the cleansing process (headaches most often relate to the liver function and you are giving that function a major push as well as major support). The temporary discomforts are greatly outweighed by the long-term benefits you are giving your body by removing the built-up intestinal sludge and junk which contribute to intestinal toxemia.
