Liver & Gallbladder Cleanse
I have personally done this cleanse for over 10 years with success. For the best results, you must prepare for a Liver/Gallbladder cleanse days in advance by taking Malic Acid (comes with Magnesium) everyday up until the actual cleanse date which should fall on the New Moon. Don’t take Malic Acid on the cleanse date, only the days leading up to it. Note that you will most likely have to do many Liver/Gallbladder cleanses to clear out the entirety of both organs back to their original clean state. Malic Acid opens the ducts leading from the Liver and Gallbladder to the intestines so the stones can come out with ease and without pain.
The New Moon is best for cleansing as its energy facilitates clearing out and starting over. Full Moons are great for culminations and endings. Look online for the next New Moon, there is one New Moon every month and one Full Moon every month (usually), as they are 2 weeks apart. Or go outside at night and see for yourself-- if it’s a full moon outside then in two weeks a New Moon will appear and that is the day you choose for the day of the actual cleanse. The best time for cleansing the Liver & Gallbladder is in the Spring in Chinese medicine, since the season of that paired Yin-Yang organs is the Spring. You can do it any other season if youcan’t await for the Spring, but it will be easier in the Spring.
DO NOT PERFORM LIVER/GALLBLADDER CLEANSES IF YOU ARE SICK OR NOT FEELING GOOD AND MAKE SURE THAT DURING THE 7-9 DAYS THAT YOU DEVOTE TO THE CLEANSE YOU ARE SOBER FROM ALL DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND CIGARETTES. The 7-9 day calculation includes the prep days up to the cleanse, the cleanse day and the recovery day after the cleanse itself.
The more toxins a person has, the more exhausting and harsh this cleanse will be on their body, so if you are already sick or on a drinking binge, you may have adverse reactions. The more cleanses you do, the better your reaction to the cleanse will be. Make sure to take a 6 month break if you decide to do 2-3 cleanses in a row (about 1 cleanse per month since there is only 1 New moon per month usually).
INGREDIENTS
1. Malic Acid (comes combined with Magnesium - Douglas Labs)
2. Unscented Epsom salt - 4 heaping Tablespoons
3. Purified Water - 3 cups
4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1/4 cup
5. Lemons - 3/4 cup of squeezed juice (Fresh squeeze the lemons, do not buy pre-made juice. The cleanse is most effective when using lemons, not limes or grapefruits.
BEFORE CLEANSE
Malic Acid comes with Magnesium. Douglas Labs makes a great Malic Acid or you can buy from another company. some come as 500mg tablets, some as 800mg tablets. I use the 800mg tablets usually.
With colonic after cleanse (Dr Sankey's): Take 3 tablets 500 mg each Malic Acid per day for 5 days, with the cleanse being on the 6th day, the New Moon.
Without colonic after cleanse (my preferred method): Take 6-7 tablets 800 mg each Malic Acid per day for 6 days, with the cleanse being on the 7th day, the New Moon.
DAY OF CLEANSE
On the day of the cleanse, take no supplements, vitamins, or pills that you can do without. No vigorous activity, eat a very light breakfast, preferably no meat, eggs, dairy or artifical foods and sugars. These are mucus forming foods and mucus is the root of all diseases, rendering the cleanse more difficult than it has to be. Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal with fruit, fruit juice, and preserves or honey (no butter or milk, or other dairy), baked potato or other vegetables with sea salt (or Himalayan pink Salt) only. No animal products, no fat or oil. This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones. NO FOOD OR DRINK AFTER 2 PM. If you need to drink some water then drink some.
Timing is critical for success so adhere to these times as strictly as possible, don’t be more than 10 minutes early or late.
2:00 PM - Stop food and drink. You might get ill if you break this rule. Get epsom salt water ready (Dr Sankey's): Mix 4 Tablespoons in 3 cups purified or distilled water (NOT TAP WATER!) and divide into 4 servings of 3/4 cup each. Mix & chill. My method, which I find more effective, is to make each serving as I go, combining one large heaping tablespoon of epsom salt per half a small cup of water and that is my 6pm serving of epsom water. I would make 3 more for 8pm and 6am and 8am the following day.
6:00 PM - Drink 1 serving (3/4 cup) of epsom salt water (I take a large heaping tablespoon of epsom salt and mix it with half a small cup of water and it works great). Can wash it down with a little water after if the taste is too foul. Take lemon or grapefruit and Extra Virgin Olive Oil out of the fridge, must be room temperature when you drink it later.
8:00 PM - Drink your second serving of 3/4 cup epsom salt water (I take a large heaping tablespoon of epsom salt and mix it with half a small cup of water and it works great). Prepare Extra Virgin Olive Oil (cold pressed) & fresh squeezed by hand lemon/grapefruit/lime (I use lemons, but it’s your choice) mixture. Mix 1/2 cup EVOO with 3/4 cup citrus juice. You can change proportion to 1/4 cup EVOO and 3/4 citrus juice for better taste, works just as well. Mix and put lid on it. DO NOT REFRIDGERATE.
9:45 PM - Make sure all chores are done before bed, use the bathroom one last time, get ready to lay down. Have your EVOO & citrus mixture ready.
10:00 PM - Drink the EVOO & citrus mix you made standing up and get it down within 5 minutes (15 minutes for elderly or weak persons). Don’t be more than 15 minutes late. LIE DOWN IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRINKING THE MIXTURE, PROP YOUR HEAD WITH A PILLOW AND KEEP PERFECTLY STILL FOR 20 MINUTES. You may fail to get stones out if you don’t follow these instructions. You may feel the stones traveling down the bile ducts into the intestines. There is no pain because the bile ducts are open due to the Malic Acid and epsom salts. GO TO SLEEP.
NEXT DAY AFTER CLEANSE
6:00 AM - Drink your third serving of 3/4 cup epsom salt water (I take a large heaping tablespoon of epsom salt and mix it with half a small cup of water and it works great). DO NOT DRINK THIS BEFORE 6AM. If you cannot keep this down or drink it, skip the 6am serving and wait until 8am. Sometimes I cannot drink the 6am serving but can keep it down at 8am, sometimes vice versa.
8:00 AM - Drink your last serving of 3/4 cup epsom salt water (I take a large heaping tablespoon of epsom salt and mix it with half a small cup of water and it works great). If you feel like you are going to throw up from the taste, take 30 second breaks between sips and drink as much of it as possible. GO BACK TO BED. Expect diarrhea in the morning. If you chose to do a colonic, do one after you are able to eliminate. If you didn’t choose to do a colonic then just wait until the stones are excreted. Since you haven’t eaten since 2pm yesterday, the only things that should come out are the floating greenish Liver/Gallbladder stones. They float due to the cholesterol. The Malic Acid that you took for 5-7 days leading up to the cleanse help empty the bowels in advance so it should be only stones.
AFTER 10:00 AM - You may eat and drink fluids. Start with juice first then 30 minutes later, eat some fruit. An hour later, you may eat fresh fruit and veggies. No meat, eggs, fats or oils, cooked or steamed veggies or soups. Your liver just went through a major transformation so you don’t want to burden it with heavy digestion right away. Be patient, you don’t want to make yourself sick by eating fried eggs and potatoes.
5:00 PM - You should feel recovered. But still don’t eat oils, fats, meats, eggs or dairy. Stay vegetarian today. Incorporate veggie soups, veggies, fruits, maybe a small bowl of brown or wild black rice. The longer you take to transition back to your regular diet, the smoother it will be on your body. The next day you may return to eating regularly.
MORE INFO REGARDING CLEANSE
Expect diarrhea in the morning. Queasiness and fatigue can result the day after, hence why Dr Mikio Sankey’s 100% herbal parasite cleanse is advised to be done first.
Look for green stones in the toilet, they should float due to the cholesterol inside, but the stool should sink. If the stool also rises, then you have fat in the stool and more of these cleanses will help you in moderation.
Some stones are more tan than green or dark green, some closer to lime green. Usually, you will find about 2,000 stones before the liver and gallbladder are clear. Sometimes bile ducts are full of cholesterol crystals that haven’t formed into stones yet. They maybe appear as chaff floating on top of toilet bowl water. Cleansing chaff is just as important as purging stones.
The Liver Cleanse contradicts many modern western viewpoints. Gallstones are usually surgically removed and are thought to only be formed in the gallbladder not the Liver as well. They are thought to be few, not thousands, but as you cleanse you will see this is not true, of hundreds of stones will be excreted. They are not linked to pains other than gallbladder attacks. It’s easy to understand: by the time you have acute pain attacks, some stones from the liver are in the gallbladder and are big enough and sufficiently calcified to see on X-ray, and are now causing inflammation in the gallbladder. When the gallbladder is removed, the acute attacks are gone, but the bursitis, other pains and/or digestive problems still remain.
