Liver/Speen/Gallbladder Management w/o Flushing

oh now that's an interesting question. Ragweed is in the daisy family, as are thistles. But they're are more like cousins than sisters. Hmmm. Guess we won't know for sure until you try!

Okay, here's a protocol with various options so you can adapt to what you can find in the stores:


each morning before breakfast or anything else, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice (may occasionally substitute grapefruit, but in that case use 2 tablespoons or more as it isn't as strong as lemon) together and swallow.

You may add Cayenne Pepper and crushed raw garlic and fresh ginger root (use the garlic press for both the garlic and ginger root) to this mixture for added benefits.

You may also add one teaspoon of honey or unsulphured molasses to make it more palatable. Both will aid delivery and the molasses will give you minerals, which is very tonifying.

Your first meal of the day should be something very high in fiber in order to trap some of the bile and take it out thru the colon. You may use a fiber-based intestinal cleanser but not an oxygen-based.

You may follow this or precede it 30 minutes (if that's easier on your digestion and scheduling) with:
500-1,000 mg of malic acid or one tablespoon of ACV
1 tablespoon lecithin
peppermint tea
500 mg of Vitamin C

Each afternoon and evening, take the recommended dose of an herbal complex such as Planetary Formula's Bupleurum Liver Cleanse, or Livatone Plus, or Chinese Bitters, or something similar.

Diet: eat or juice one beet each day, or 3x week at least.
Eat the cleansing carrot salad OR drink carrot/apple/parsley juice each day
Avoid all fruit except for apples, pears and berries

Avoid all dairy except for just a bit of yogurt or kefir, preferably with spices like cayenne, ginger, cardamom, cinamon or cumin added. Avoid all other sour foods. Eggs are fine.

Avoid crushed black pepper. When whole and infused into something like Chai, it's great for the liver. When it's fragmented, it can get caught and irritate the liver.

Eat a very low-calorie mostly vegetarian diet. You don't have to fast, but the less work your liver does the better.
Drink at least 50 ounces of fluids a day, preferably simmered water, or tea, or the Cleansing Drink.
Best teas are peppermint or dandelion. Peppermint Altoids are also good.

If you have cirrhosis or hepetitis - actual liver damage - then take dessicated liver caps (often called gland caps) and/or eat liver.

coffee enemas once a week are a fantastic way to empty the liver of toxins. Definitely do one if you have a major headache or muscle pain.

Be sure to get other EFAs during the day like cod liver oil, flax, homemade salad dressing.

Be sure to keep up your minerals and electrolytes: the Cleansing Drink will help, as will EmergenC, molasses, grade B maple syrup, CalMagFizz, or a good mineral supplement.

Be sure to keep up your circulation. Cayenne, ginger and garlic will help, as will exercise.

Be sure to stretch out every day, as each time you bend over you massage the liver and may actually expel stones. Hurdler stretches are especially good.

Castor oil packs are a nice option. Apply to the upper abdomen for 2 hours minimum.

You must must must keep the bowels clean. Mild laxatives, fiber, enemas, colonics, should be done frequently, even if you fast. If you fast, you may do salt water flushes.

A concentrated super-green supplement with blue-green algea, chlorella and spirulina is a nice addition but not mandatory.

Avoid all protein powders, meal replacement bars, energy bars, High Fructose Corn Syrup and the obvious baddies like soda. Whey powder and goat milk powder is okay.
