| Photo: A Whimsical Reminder of the need to "Flush" Your Liver
Everybody talks about how polluted our world has become. About all the chemicals in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Most of us have some idea about how this effects us directly, but we don't know what, if anything, we can
do to really change it.
First thing you need to know is that you have a built-in poison control center in your body. You already have an organ whose job it is to keep these chemicals and environmental poisons under control. That organ is your liver. The liver is the main
detox center for our bodies. It should go without saying that in a world as polluted as ours has become, our livers are under a heavy load to do their job. The question is: Can anything be done to help?
AND THE ANSWER IS…
Yes! There is a simple technique, not at all expensive, that will "tune up" your liver, and let it do its job much more effectively. As an added bonus, doing this will also give you a genuine boost in energy.
Need more incentive? Doing this will also likely drop your cholesterol numbers dramatically - all without drugs or medications!
THE LOVELY LIVER FLUSH
The liver has a gazillion "tunnels" running through it. It is through these tunnels that poisons and environmental chemicals are filtered, then eliminated from the body. Over time, your liver becomes plugged up with deposits of these substances because
they are accumulating faster than they can be eliminated. Crystals of cholesterol also form and plug up these tunnels.
Using a technique called the Liver Flush, it is possible for you to clean out these tunnels, thus restoring the liver's ability to filter harmful chemicals.
One of the best ways to do this has been written up by Dr. Hulda Clark. I have excerpted the procedure from her book. There is much good information in her text, and worth purchasing if you are so inclined. For now, however, let's just
concentrate on getting your liver back to health.
The write-up in her book makes it sound dreadful, and many people are totally put off by her description. So I have altered her text a little and can assure you it is no big deal, and definitely worth doing!
LIVER AND GALLBLADDER CLEANSE
Taken (and lightly edited) from CURE FOR ALL DISEASES by Dr. Hulda Clark
|
INGREDIENTS
|
| Epsom salts |
4 tablespoons |
| Olive oil |
half cup |
| Fresh pink grapefruit |
1 large or two small (for juice) |
Ornithine
(Dr. Clark recommends this to help you sleep, but it isn't required.) |
4 to 8, if you are restless |
| Pint jar with lid |
|
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 with fruit, fruit juice, bread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk), baked potato or other vegetables with salt only. 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. If you break this rule you will not get the full benefits of the flush. Get your Epsom salts ready. Mix 4 tablespoons in 3 cups water and pour this into a jar. This makes four servings, 3/4 cup each. Set the
jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only).
6:00 PM
Drink one serving (3/4 cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts. This is slightly bitter, not a taste you would order at a restaurant. The colder it is, the easier to drink. After your first swallow, the bitterness may make you hesitant, but
keep your eye on the prize and keep going!
If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tablespoon in 3/4 cup water now. You may add 1/8 teaspoon vitamin C powder to improve the taste. You may also drink a few mouthfuls of water afterwards or rinse your mouth. Get the olive
oil and grape fruit out to warm up.
8:00 PM
Repeat by drinking another 3/4 cup of Epsom salts. Even though you haven't eaten since two o'clock, you won't feel hungry. Get your bedtime chores done. Pay attention to the timing. Best results are obtained if you are no more than 10 minutes
early or late taking this portion of the Epsom salts.
9:45 PM
Pour 1/2 cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar. Squeeze the red grapefruit by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have at least 1/2 cup, though more (up to 3/4 cup) is best as this "cuts" the thickness of the olive
oil. You may top it up with lemonade. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this).
Now visit the bathroom at least one more time, even if it makes you late for your ten o'clock drink. But don't be more that 15 minutes late.
10:00 PM
Drink the grapefruit and olive oil mix you just prepared. It isn't gross and it is going to make things so much better for you. If you want, you can now take 4 ornithine capsules with the first sips. For some, this makes it easier to sleep through
the night. Take all 8 if you already suffer from insomnia, or whatever other sleep aids you have on hand..
For some people, drinking this mixture is the hardest part, and they have trouble swallowing. Don't wimp out! Get the potion down within 5 minutes. If you are elderly or weak, go a little slower, say 10 to 15 minutes, but the faster
you get it down, the easier it is..
As soon as you have taken all of the drink, get into bed and lie down. Seriously, LIE DOWN NOW because the sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out. Don't clean the kitchen- do that tomorrow.
Lie flat on your back with your head up high on the pillow.
Try to keep still for at least 20 minutes. While you do, think about what is happening in your liver. Although it is subtle, some people may actually feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no
pain because the bile duct valves are open (thank you Epsom salts!) and the stones are slipping out from the blocked up ducts- thanks to the olive oil. Don't worry. Whatever is going on is exactly what you are wanting to happen. Let yourself go to sleep
and expect positive results!
NEXT MORNING When you wake up, you will take the third dose of Epsom salts, but don't take this before 6AM to insure best results. If you have a little indigestion or feel a little queezy, wait until
the feeling goes away before drinking the Epsom salts. You may go back to bed if you wish, ecause there is no hurry. You are nearly finished.
2 HOURS LATER Take your fourth (the last) dose of Epsom salts. Drink 3/4 cup of the mixture. You may go back to bed, because you have just two more hours to go.
AFTER 2 MORE HOURS You may eat, but don't gorge yourself. Start with fruit juice. Half an hour or so later, eat some fruit. About one hour more you may eat regular food but again, keep it light. By supper
you should feel normal.
HOW WELL DID YOU DO? The Results:
Expect diarrhea in the morning. Your first bowel movement will contain hundreds of little crystals that look like grains of brown rice.These crystals are cholesterol and having them in the toilet bowl is exactly where you
want them- not in your liver! Look closely and carefully, too, for gallstones in the toilet with the bowel movement. The green ones, like peas in a can, 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 clear out about 2000 stones before the liver is clean enough to rid you of allergies,
bursitis, or upper back pains permanently.
The
first cleanse may rid you of symptoms for a few days, but as the stones from deep inside travel forward, they can give you the same symptoms again. This does not mean you have failed, just that your system was that clogged up.
A FINAL WORD
You will feel better for doing the flush - that's for sure. Certainly you will have more energy. But to really get the most out of this, you will do well to repeat the cleanse in about 3 to 4 weeks. That's because
all the stuff you got out the first time was blocking the tunnels where the older, larger crystals are still in place. With the first cleanse, you removed the more superficial crystals. When you repeat the cleanse, you will get to the ones that are
deeper. You may repeat cleanses
but don't do a flush when you are ill.
Afterwards, you need not do this again for a year or so.
I received this email from a reader not long ago:
Hi Dr. Berger,
Thanks for the info--your new site is fantastic, too. Very informative. That liver flush is a blast from the past--I remember all of us did it one night in college. Not too bright--the bathroom was very BUSY.
I've passed the site on to all my friends. |
Here's To Your Good Health!
