LIVER AND GALLBLADDER CLEANSE
This cleanse is based on the book by Andreas Moritz, the Amazing Liver and Gall Bladder Cleanse. It has been simplified for ease of use.
As we all know, the liver is the master cleansing organ of the body. It must process everything that enters to body. Because of the toxic world we live in, this organ is often over-worked. The book explains that the Liver, too, has stones in the ducts that can clog up the liver and make it work less effectively.
The Gall Bladder is the organ that digests fats during the digestive process. Many people develop stones in the GB and then chose to take this very important organ out of their bodies. This may be an alternative to surgery, if done on a regular basis. Don't wait until you have an emergency.
This cleanse is supposed to help you release the stones in both the GB and liver. Yes, there are stones in the liver also. Those stones block the ducts which then inhibit liver function. The liver is one of the most important organs in your body. You only have one, so it is a good idea to care for it.
PREP: Decide what 6 days you have to dedicate to this cleanse.
1.
Purchase enough apple juice (or pink grapefruit juice if you are diabetic) so you can drink 32 oz. of juice per day for the 6 days. This juice will soften the stones for easier passage.
2.
Purchase Epsom Salt (or Magnesium Citrate)
3.
Purchase Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4.
Purchase 2-4 fresh grapefruits to make hand-squeezed juice on the day of cleanse. If you don’t like grapefruits, you can substitute lemons and oranges.
5.
Make 2 Colonic appointments: one on day of cleanse (before noon) and one 3 days after cleanse.
You want to have your colon as cleared out as possible so toxic stones do not remain inside your body and make you sick.
THE RULES:
1.
Do NOT eat: fats, oils, meats or proteins, fried foods, cheese, eggs for the selected 6 days. Reason for this is to fill up the GB with bile so you have a good flush on cleanse day.
2.
DO EAT: fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, oatmeal, Chamomile tea, juices, and soups. Eating this way for 6 days will rest and cleanse your liver. It will also reset your palate and give your organism a rest from heavy foods.
3.
Rest during this time. Slow down and try to de-stress your body. Go to bed by 10 pm (if possible). Get a massage, take walks. Use this week as your cleansing week and clean out your mind, your home, office, and car. Release the toxic things in your life.
4.
DRINK 32 oz. of Apple Juice throughout the day for the 6 days.
5.
Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day.
DAY OF CLEANSE (Day 6)
1.
Start with some OATMEAL and FRUIT and drink your 32 oz. of apple juice by 1 PM
2.

4.
Make sure you have handled all your business for the day so that by 9:30 pm you are ready to go to bed.

If you want, you can place a castor-oil pack over your liver with heating pad once you lie down, but it is not necessary.
