Liver Cleansing
One
of the main functions of the liver is to remove and breakdown toxins from the blood. It also metabolizes
ingested drugs, including pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol.
This imposes a large burden on the liver day to day - liver cleansing is an effective way to give your liver a break and allow it to work more effectively. In other words, your liver is your filter and it functions best when cleaned out once in a while.
How Does Liver Cleansing Work?
To remove gall stones from the liver is a process of several stages. Stage one involves drinking lots of apple juice. The pectin in the juice helps to soften and flatten the stones in the gall bladder and liver. This helps their eventual passage through the bile ducts.
The most
important part of a liver cleanse is drinking olive oil and fruit juice, late at night
before sleeping. The act of lying down in bed allows the oil to go into your liver and gall bladder. This
temporarily overloads the organs, causes a reaction in which the stones are expelled.
Of course, the expulsion of these stones has the potential to be a very painful process. So the addition of Epsom salts opens the bile ducts nice and wide, so the stones (already flattened by the apple juice) to pass through freely.
The grapefruit and lemon juice are used to produce more bile in the liver, trapping fat molecules and allowing them to be easily secreted. It also helps to decrease your appetite.
Liver Cleansing Techniques
Cleansing the liver of gall stones dramatically aids digestion, which in turn improves
general health. Here are the 3 stages in a successful liver cleanse:
Stage 1: Prepare for the cleanse by drinking fresh apple juice for 3 days. Meals should
be small amounts of raw salad or unprocessed fruit.
Stage 2: Buy the liver cleanse ingredients:
Epsom Salts, 4 tablespoons mixed in 4 cups of water
Olive Oil
Fresh Grapefruit juice and Lemon juice
Stage 3: Do the cleanse. Choose a Saturday if possible! Here is the routine you should follow -
(i) Eat a very light breakfast and lunch of fruit and vegetables.
(ii) At 6pm, drink 1 cup of the Epsom Salt water. Repeat at 8pm.
(iii) At 10pm, mix the fruit juices and one cup of olive oil. Drink it, go to bed and get a good sleep while the cleanse does its work!
(iv) At 7am, drink 1 cup of the Epsom Salt water. Repeat at 9am and finish the mixture.
(v) Eat only light fruits and vegetables for the rest of the day. Your liver should be cleansed
of gall stones and by the evening you should feel great!
