Looked this up - at the top of the Forum page it says Liver-Flush Flush Recipe and then clicking on the Hulda Clark Recipe, you´ll find FAQs and under one of the FAQ´s were these two answers. The first one answers your question and the second was answering the question about using something other than citrus.

Citrus juices, PRIMARILLY that of the Lemon, also have three additional properties. Firstly, it acts as a purgative, which aids in moving the intestinal tissues around ("squeezing and tensing")and enhancing the movement of the stones out of the liver and gallbladder. (the oil is a lubricant so that there isn't as much pain or discomfort, though there may be nausea involved in some people)

Re: CITRUS ALLERGY ... Can I use non-citric fruit juice when doing liver... by bethdogg 6 year 3,617

thank you all for the feedback. i'm doing flush #3 tonight. i've been hitting my body hard with zapping and parasite cleansing herbs. feeling nauseous from it so i'm not too stoked about having to stomach the olive oil. perhaps i'll add a little bit extra juice. just praying that i don't wake up in the middle of the night to puke. though i am real curious to see if this flush is any different since i've been parasite cleansing....we'll see ;-)
