Re: Liver Cleanse w/o Oil?

You won't gain weight if you are eating less/nothing during the flush. You will lose weight because you are not eating as much and the Epsom Salts help to clear your digestive system so that the Liver Flush can proceed smoothly. I usually feel empty but not hungry after the Epsom Salt mixture. I always lose weight, about 2-3 kg. The reason oil is used in the flush is to expel bile from the liver and gallbladder and the softened stones with it. Because bile helps digest oil/fat, it is expelled from the gallbladder when oil/fat is eaten. If you don't drink oil you will not get the cleanse effect you desire. You could eat a different kind of oil/fat, like cream, but olive oil is probably a lot better for you.
Another stimulant to the liver is a coffee colonic. This can be used together during the Liver Flush to help release toxins in the liver. But it is not a replacement for the olive oil mixture. On its own it WILL NOT remove stones.
If you are trying to lose weight try fasting. Done properly, you can lose weight and keep it off. I go to a fasting center in Thailand called Samui Dharma Healing Center. It is a comprehensive program run by an American, Harvard University graduate. Set in a coconut grove on the beach, it is a lovely place to be without food. People leave feeling great, and looking great.
In the meantime, try the flush once to see how your body reacts.
Goodluck!
