>>>>I'm guessing that garlic is for possible liver flukes... Any other purpose?<<<<

EXCERPT from the post below:

besides being a chologogue (increasing bile flow) raw garlic IS the #1 most effective herbs to kill liver flukes!

EXCERPT from Unyquity's the post below:

--You do not "have" to do the 3-day juice fast in the middle of the 5 day cleanse (or any of the 'diet' recommendations), but it IS very beneficial.

--Liver herbs & juices and cholagogue foods (that make bile flow, like ginger, garlic, bitter greens/foods - juices: beet, carrot, apple, lemon, grapefruit & radish are all great).

--a tablespoon or two of olive oil daily

Notes about the 5-day Liver Cleanse instructions:

--In the morning liver-cleanse drink, you'll see that you add 1T of oil and 1 clove of garlic each day.  There are some people (me included) that simply cannot ingest more that 2-3 cloves of garlic at any one time.  It will NOT "ruin the cleanse" if you can only take 1-2 cloves of garlic each 'drink'...and you can add (and I highly recommend adding) extra ginger root. You can take the additional cloves of garlic later in the day.  Remember, besides being a chologogue (increasing bile flow) raw garlic IS the #1 most effective herbs to kill liver flukes!
 
--You do not "have" to do the 3-day juice fast in the middle of the 5 day cleanse (or any of the 'diet' recommendations), but it IS very beneficial.

--Dr. Schulze suggests adding the Liver/GB tincture to the Liver Tea...and this is NOT the most effective way to use the tincture.  Anything 'bitter' triggers the liver to produce/release bile, and the Liver/GB tincture is VERY bitter.  So rather than mixing it with the yummy spice tea (and ruining the taste of the tea, and diluting the bitter tincture), it's far more effective to mix the tincture dose with a 'gulp's worth' of water and have it separately.  Here more info about that tincture (even though it has a few anti-parasite herbs, there's not enough in it to create an effective/deep parasite cleanse...but mixed with the raw garlic in the flush drink, it WILL kill a LOT of liver flukes): http://curezone.com/schulze/handbook/lg-ap.asp 
 
--The Liver/Detox/Digestive tea is based on an ancient Indian digestive remedy.  It doesn't have a strong effect on the liver proper, but helps IMMENSELY with all the "urpy-burpy-ness" we all experience when cleansing the liver.  It's also a very welcome substitute for coffee :)  You do not have to follow "dosage recommendations" (you may have as much or as little as you prefer) http://curezone.com/schulze/handbook/detoxification.asp

--DEEP foot reflexology Reflexology foot map - Dorling Kindersley

--Castor Oil packs are fantastic (I consider them essential, as their 'action' is incredibly soothing & deep)

Please never-EVER underestimate the 'decongesting' & healing power of reflexology and castor oil packs.  If you doubt either, just get a stethescope and listen to your liver/gb when you do either.  You'll be amazed (here's links/information for buying a good/cheap stethoscope and information on how to use one:  Being your own doctor - liver flushing/CE's READ ME PLEASE    (stethoscope links and other information)

--Liver herbs & juices and cholagogue foods (that make bile flow, like ginger, garlic, bitter greens/foods - juices: beet, carrot, apple, lemon, grapefruit & radish are all great).

--Chinese Gold Coin Grass breaks up 'stones' into smaller pieces (I finally found a source and started the tincture today 4/14/10 [edit - it's now available in the Storefront])

--a tablespoon or two of olive oil daily

--and last (but certainly NOT least) - DAILY COFFEE ENEMAS!  (learning how to do these is something you will never EVER regret - the benefits really are countless, and your liver will LOVE you).  Also, doing a coffee enema (or two) the day after the flush will be at least as effective (maybe even more so) than those brutal last two doses of Epsom Salts!  I never use ES the day after a flush (and rarely the day of the flush)...but I do ample prep work and know what to do if I feel any difficulty passing stones :)

Flush ON!!!  (but do it wisely, safely and effectively :)
