Spring is the time to cleanse the liver and gallbladder! This is how you can easily perform a good cleaning at home without expensive programs or pills.
Note: before you do none organ cleansing, it is necessary to cleanse the colon or large intestine. There is no point in cleaning any other organs if the colon is clogged or blocked. The waste from the other organs will not be eliminated, but will be forced to recirculate and may be deposited elsewhere in the body.
So, before you try this gallbladder/liver cleanse program, do some colonics (or enemas at least), drink at least 2 quarts of plain water a day, and include mostly vegetables and fruits in your diet or some other good source of fiber. daily for a few weeks.
Bail: If you suspect you may have gallstones, do not attempt this cleanse. An ultrasound can tell you if you have them, as well as if you feel sharp pain when your ribs press on your gallbladder.
With that said, here are the steps to follow for a simple and natural gallbladder and liver cleanse:
Step 1. From breakfast on Sunday to lunch on Friday, drink at least a quart of apple juice or cider (a quart and a half, if you weigh more than 160 pounds) every day. It should not contain sugar or additives or be concentrated. Organic is definitely preferred.
The effect of so many apples is to soften the sludge that tends to accumulate in the gallbladder, which creates improper processing of fats, leading to gas, bloating, heartburn, etc.
Make sure your water intake stays high and your overall diet is light: nothing fried, not much beef, never pork (as it’s too dense and requires too much energy for your body to process).
An optional Step #1 is to eat nothing but apples and drink plenty of water Wednesday through Friday lunch for those who want to cut the schedule short. But you may experience headaches on the first day or two of an apple fast, as your body begins to detoxify.
Step 2. Three hours after your lunch on Friday, dissolve 2 teaspoons of Epsom salts (or disodium phosphate, if you can get it) in about an ounce of hot water and drink it. It’s extremely salty and can be followed by a few ounces of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice to chase it down. Do not eat other foods after lunch or during the rest of the day. Yes, keep hydrating.
Step 3. Two hours later, repeat Step 2. Keep your water intake high. The effect of the salts is to clear a path for the bile and sludge to pass through later and not get stuck anywhere.
Grapefruit or lemon juice is good to drink during this time, as it helps alkalize the bloodstream to offset the acidic condition that detoxification produces. If you’re sensitive to citrus, you can find alkalizing products at a health food store, or put a half teaspoon of baking soda in each glass of water on Fridays and Saturdays.
Step 4. Just before going to bed on Friday night, mix a half cup of unrefined olive oil with a few ounces of grapefruit or lemon juice and shake well. Drink it. If you feel queasy after this, a few sips of Coke or Pepsi will settle your stomach.
step 5. Lie down immediately and lie on your right side with your right knee raised toward your chest for 30 minutes. This position keeps oil in the stomach long enough to send a message to the gallbladder that fats are on their way.
Fats signal the production of bile. A lot of fats make the gallbladder ballistic. When he lowers his leg after 30 minutes, the gallbladder literally convulses to expel enough bile and, brokenmud comes out too!
In fact, I felt this happening. After sliding my leg down, I felt a kind of tug for several seconds in that area as I spit out the mud.
Now go to sleep. You have earned it.
Step 6. The next morning, first thing in the morning, she again dissolves two teaspoons of Epsom salts in about two ounces of hot water and drinks it. Follow with a few ounces of grapefruit or lemon juice, if you liked it this way.
Do not eat for one hour after drinking this. This second purge pushes the sludge and toxins that were released last night out of the system.
It would be better if you could stay near a bathroom for the rest of the day, maybe the whole weekend. Don’t make too many plans to leave home, dedicate this weekend to your health.
What you’ll soon see removed are greenish, gelatinous bits floating in the bowl, the size of grape seeds to cherry pits. This is bile sludge surrounded by olive oil.
Be glad they are no longer in your body. You are witnessing years of good health added to your life, and the little sacrifices you made in the last few days are more than worth it.
Other benefits you may notice are a gradual elimination of upper back pain, especially in the right quadrant such as the shoulder and neck area. Cleaning out the gallbladder also frees up the liver, the most vital organ we have for the 500+ things it does every day.
This is a great program to do every few years, as the poor quality of our food (unless you buy organic or grow your own) and the high levels of toxicity in our environments can really stress our digestive systems. Herbal programs can be used every spring, but none of them give the excellent washing results that this program does.
