Liver And Gallbladder Detoxification
Flush |
The liver and gallbladder flush is an important
detoxifying agent which may help restore the normal functional
capacity of these organs. It is not recommended for patients
who are not under the direct supervision of a nutrition-oriented,
healthcare professional. Listed below are the steps that should
be followed on the advise of you Health Care Coach.
Step 1. Monday through Saturday noon, drink as much apple juice
or
apple cider as your appetite will permit in addition to regular
meals and any supplements that may have been prescribed. The
apple juice should be coarse, unfiltered and free of additives
and
preservatives.
Step 2. At noon on Saturday, you should eat a normal lunch.
Step 3. Three (3) hours later, take two (2) teaspoons of Epsom
Salts (or
disodium phospate) in about two (2) ounces of hot water. The
taste may be objectionable to you and therefore may be followed
by a little citrus juice (freshly squeezed where possible).
Step 4. Two (2) hours later, repeat step 3.
Step 5. You may have grapefruit or other citrus fruits or juices
for your
evening meal.
Step 6. At bedtime, you may have one, and only one of the following:
a. 1/2 cup of unrefined olive oil followed by a small glass
of
grapefruit juice; or
b. 1/2 cup of warm unrefined olive oil blended with 1/2 cup
of
lemon juice.
Unrefined olive oil can be purchased from any health food store.
It is best to use fresh citrus juice, but canned to bottled
are permissible. Using a blender to whip the oil and citrus
together can improve the taste and texture substantially.
Step 7. Following step 6, you should go immediately to bed and
lie on
your right side with your right knee pulled up close to your
chest
for 30 minutes. *
Step 8. The next morning, one (1) hour before breakfast, take
two (2)
teaspoons of Epsom Salts dissolved in two (2) ounces of hot
water.
Step 9. Be sure to continue with your normal diet and any nutritional
program that has been prescribed for you with the exception
of
the evening when you do step 6. Some patients have
occasionally reported slight to moderate nausea when taking
the
olive oil/citrus juice. This nausea should slowly disappear
by the
time you go to sleep. If the oil induces vomiting, you should
not
repeat the procedure at this time. This occurs only in rare
instances. This flushing of the liver and gallbladder stimulates
and purges these organs as no other method!
Patients who have chronically suffered from gallstones, biliousness,
backaches, nausea, etc. occasionally find small gallstone type
objects in the stool the following day. These objects are light
green to dark green in color. They are very irregular in shape,
gelatinous to cartilagenous in texture and vary in size from
grape seeds to cherry pits. (If there seems to be a large number
of these objects in the stool, the liver flush should be repeated
in two (2) weeks.
Pay special attention to when your
bowels move after step 7 as well as the nature of the wastes
passed and discuss this with your Health Coach.
