Commercial Message for the Liver Flush
Waaal, podna, there's a bunch of
Liver Flush recipes. I started with the Standard Issue epsom salt/EVOO/grapefruit juice routine, which works just dandy.
However, I have a slight aversion to grapefruit juice anyhow, and the mixture tastes like a Greek milkshake! My tendency (and I've heard this from others on the
Liver-Flush forum) is to get nauseated when I have my best flushes, and there can be reflux. This led me to try a mixture of 1/2 c. Hain cold pressed walnut oil, and the juice of a lemon (or lime--I live in Mexico and that's what we have laying around) plus enough fresh OJ to make 1/2 cup.
It sounds a whole lot weirder than it is. It's actually very simple plumbing 101, just like most body cleansing... when fats leave the stomach they trigger the gallbladder to send down bile from the liver to digest the stuff. During a
Liver Flush you ingest a considerable amount of oil, and a considerable amount of bile is sent down the ducts, squirt squirt squirt! That's it!
So regardless of what recipe you use, the main issues to me are to start clean -- there is a great protocol for a green apple flush on sensiblehealth.com that calls for you to fast on green apple juice for a couple days, through the pm of the flush. It uses no epsom, which I like for my partner Carlos who has had heart surgery. You can also just eat a very clean diet for a couple days, low fat. The day of the flush eat NO fat, and stop eating at 2pm. If you are dying, eat a green apple, or just drink the juice.
Then, use enough oil for a good flush. I think 2T is not enough, and 2c is overkill. I have a great flush with 1/2 cup, and 1 cup total juice and oil is not too much to chug down (for a veteran hard core cleanser like me!! lol). I chill my mixture in a shaker jar til bedtime...
Then when you go to bed, take your gunk with you and shake like crazy to emulsify! Chug 'er down as best you can (like drinking salad dressing, but doable). Some people suck a mint after, to help kill the ick! response.
THEN... lie on your right side for at least an hour. After this time the flush has taken place and it doesn't much matter what you do, but do try to Hold the Pose til the squirt squirt squirt thing happens.
You did it!!! Gold star!
The next day I like to start with an enema, as the swf is a little much after the above. You want your colon as clean as possible so you get a good look at what comes down! It is very common to pass MANY small stones that look just like frozen green peas, color and all! Also common is "chaff", which is flakes of cholesterol (guess where that is made!). Also... lots of old bile, in technicolors as we are used to from fasting.
You need to eat light and clean the day after the flush, then go easy for a bit more... let your body recover for two weeks, then REPEAT! It took me 5-6 before I hit the Mother Lode, passed 30-40 beautiful jade green stones the size of prunes! Unbelievable unless you go to the
Liver-Flush page and look at the pictures people send in. Since then, my skin has been unbelievable, and I largely attribute the permanent changes in my eyesight to the combination of colon and liver cleansing.
A hassle? Not like gallbladder surgery! You bet. They wanted to whack out Carlos's and we said no thanks. We flushed the living tar out of that sucker and he is all better! Imagine that.
WELL worth any inconvenience, slight discomfort etc. Just like fasting. If you can do your sixty days you are INVINCIBLE! And we both know you can do that!
Thinking of you,
