Liver Cleanse
This is just one way to do a liver cleanse but I thought it was a good outline so I’m posting it here.
The Liver Cleanse
Cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates many kind of pains joints, head, back etc. You will have more energy and an increased sense of well-being.
CLEANING THE LIVER BILE DUCTS IS THE MOST POWERFUL PROCEDURE THAT YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE YOUR BODY'S HEALTH.
It is the job of the liver to make 2-3 pints of bile a day. The liver is full of tubes that deliver the bile to one large tube (the common bile duct). The gallbladder is attached to the common bile duct and acts as a storage reservoir. Eating fat or protein triggers the gallbladder to squeeze itself empty after about twenty minutes, and the stored bile finishes its trip down the common bile duct to the intestine.
For many persons, including children, the biliary tubing is choked with gallstones. Some develop allergies or hives but some have no symptoms. When the gallbladder is scanned or X-rayed nothing is seen. Typically, they are not in the gallbladder. Not only that, most are too small and not calcified, a prerequisite for visibility on X-ray. There are over half a dozen varieties of gallstones, most of which have cholesterol crystals in them. They can be black, red, white, green or tan coloured. The green stones get their colour from being coated with bile. Many contain imbedded parasite remains or are shaped like corks with longitudinal grooves below the tops. You can visualise the blocked bile ducts from such shapes. Other stones are composites - made of many smaller ones - showing that they regrouped in the bile ducts some time after the last cleanse. At the very centre of each stone is found a clump of bacteria, according to scientists, suggesting that a dead bit of parasite might have started the stone forming.
As the stones grow and become more numerous the backpressure on the liver causes it to make less bile. It is also thought to slow the flow of lymphatic fluid. Imagine the situation if your garden hose had marbles in it. Much less water would flow, which in turn would decrease the ability of the hose to squirt out the marbles. With gallstones, much less cholesterol leaves the body, and cholesterol levels may rise. Gallstones, being porous, can pick up all the bacteria, cysts viruses and parasites that are passing through the liver. In this way "nests" of infection are formed, forever supplying the body with fresh bacteria and parasite stages. No stomach infection such as ulcers or intestinal bloating can be cured permanently without removing these gallstones from the liver.
Preparation.
It is preferable to complete the parasite cleanse and the kidney cleanse first, although you can do this before the second liver cleanse – yes you will need to repeat it!
For 1- 6 Days preceding the liver cleanse, stimulate bile flow by beginning each morning with drinking the juice of half a lemon mixed with 1 Tablespoon of olive in warm/hot water. Better still liquidize and drink the juice plus the pith of one whole lemon and the olive oil in warm/hot water. (This contains a good supply of pectin and so can reduce the amount of apple juice required if preferred. During the course of the rest of the day drink one litre of apple juice (or one pint if having lemon pith). The pectin will soften the stones to enable an easy passage. Eat and drink normally.
Ingredients required
Epsom salts 4 Tablespoons. (freshly squeezed grapefruit or apple juice may be added instead of water to improve the taste*)
Extra virgin olive oil ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Fresh pink grapefruit 1 large or 2 small, enough to squeeze 2/3 cup juice.
Pint jar with lid
Black Walnut Tincture, any strength* 10 to 20 drops, to kill parasites coming from the liver.
* Optional
Day 7. Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day. Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success. Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal, fruit, fruit juice, bread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk). This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones.
2:00 PM. Do not eat or drink after 2 o'clock. You may moisten your mouth with a little water if it feels dry. (in hot weather, bathing will stop you dehydrating) . If you break this rule you could feel quite ill later.
6:00 PM. Mix 1 Tablespoon of Epsom Salts in ¾cup of water or juice. You may like to have a lick of something tasty such as honey directly after to overcome the taste. Get the olive oil and grapefruit out, if in refrigerator to reach room temperature.
8:00 PM. Drink another cup of Epsom salts. You haven't eaten since two o'clock, but you won't feel hungry. Get your bedtime chores done. The timing is critical for success.
9:45 PM. Pour ½ cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar. Squeeze the grapefruits to produce at least ½ - ¾cup. Add this to the olive oil. Also add Black Walnut Tincture (optional). Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this). Prepare two more cups of Epsom Salts for the morning and take all drinks to the side of the bed. If you know that you can get nausious easily, the first time you do the cleanse, take only half the amount of the olive oil mixture. You may not get out as many stones as with the full dose, but you will be confident with the full process for next time.
Now visit the bathroom one or more time, even if it makes you late for your ten o'clock drink. Don't be more than 15 minutes late. You will get fewer stones.
10:00 PM. Drink straight down the grapefruit and olive potion you have mixed. A little honey is permitted afterwards. Drink it all standing up and get it down within 5 minutes (fifteen minutes for very elderly or weak persons).
Lie down immediately. You might fail to get stones out if you don't. The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out. Be ready for bed ahead of time. Don't clean up the kitchen. As soon as the drink is down walk to your bed and lie down either flat on your back with your head up high on the pillow, or can be on your right side with your knee drawn up. You also like the comfort of a hot water bottle on the stomach. Visualise what is happening in the liver and keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes. You may feel a train of stones travelling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no pain because the bile duct valves are open (thank you Epsom salts!). Go to sleep, you may fail to get stones out if you don't.
Next morning. Upon awakening take your third cup of Epsom salts. If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts. You may go back to bed. Don't take this potion before 6:00 am.
2 Hours Later. Take your fourth (the last) cup of Epsom salts. You may go back to bed again.
After 2 More Hours you may eat. Start with fruit juice. Half an hour later eat fruit. One hour later you may eat regular food but keep it light. By supper you should feel recovered.
How well did you do? Expect diarrhoea in the morning. You may like to use an (old) colander and a torch to observe the gallstones in the toilet with the bowel movement. Look for the green kind since this is proof that they are genuine gallstones, not food residue. Only bile from the liver is pea green. The bowel movement sinks but gallstones float because of the cholesterol inside. Count them all roughly, whether tan or green. You will need to total 2000 stones before the liver is clean enough to rid you of allergies or bursitis or upper back pains permanently. The first cleanse may rid you of them for a few days, but as the stones from the rear travel forward, they give you the same symptoms again. You may repeat cleanses at two-week intervals. Never cleanse when you are [acutely] ill.
Sometimes the bile ducts are full of cholesterol crystals that did not form into round stones. They appear as a chaff floating on top of the toilet bowl water. It may be tan coloured, harbouring millions of tiny white crystals. Cleansing this chaff is just as important as purging stones.
How safe is the liver cleanse? It is very safe. My opinion is based on over 500 cases, including many persons in their seventies and eighties. None went to the hospital; none even reported pain. Most people feel rejuvenated on all levels. However a few may feel unwell for one or two days afterwards, which means there may be parasites blocking the ducts. In these cases completing a parasite and kidney cleanse program is vital.
CONGRATULATIONS You have removed your gallstones without surgery!
This procedure contradicts many modern medical viewpoints. Gallstones are thought to be formed in the gallbladder, not the liver. They are thought to be few, not thousands. They are not linked to pains other than gallbladder attacks. It is easy to understand why this is thought: by the time you have acute pain attacks, some stones are in the gallbladder, are big enough and sufficiently calcified to see on X-ray, and have caused inflammation there. When the gallbladder is removed the acute attacks are gone, but the bursitis and other pains and digestive problems remain.
The truth is self-evident. People who have had their gallbladder surgically removed still get plenty of green, bile-coated stones, and anyone who cares to dissect their stones can see that the concentric circles and crystals of cholesterol match textbook pictures of "gallstones" exactly.
