Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse

This post is just a guide on how we both are doing our liver and gallbladder cleanses. Its based off the book The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush by Andreas Moritz. We found the book a good read but the instructions not so easy to follow so decided to write this and share it! There are quite a few youtube videos about the cleanse and with a short google search you can find a PDF copy of the book for free online. This guide is just a short breakdown of how we did it.

Who should do this cleanse?:

• Anyone! Tom had never had any pain from his liver or gallbladder and still passed over 50 large stones and hundreds of small ones in his first cleanse.

What is the process?:

• This cleanse takes 6 days of preparing your body then the 7th day is when you are cleansing.
• Plan the 7th day (the day of the cleanse) over a weekend when you haven’t got anything planned and you can rest (and not to be too far from the toilet!) So for me I start the cleanse on Sunday and then Saturday is the cleansing day when I can make sure I’m not doing anything and can just chill at home.
• You need to take yourself very gently on the 7th day. Your body has been through major surgery just a natural and pain-free version.

Before and after the cleanse:

• It is recommended to drink a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of Epsom salts first thing in the morning for 3 weeks before and after the cleanse to flush out the colon and digestive tract. This is not necessary for everyone but recommended. Even doing this for a week before can be very beneficial.
• We actually didn’t realise about doing it before and after so on our first cleanse we were drinking a glass of it first thing every morning on each day of the cleanse and this was fine.

What do you need for this cleanse:

• Lots of apples to make your own fresh apple juice. You need 1 litre every day for 6 days and it takes about 8 average sized apples to make a litre.
• A slow juicer to make your juice
• Glass 1 litre bottle to put your fresh apple juice
• Epsom salts
• 120ml of organic virgin cold-pressed olive oil
• About 1 and a half fresh grapefruits
• Filtered or distilled water
• 2 pint jars (the big local honey jars are ideal as they are the perfect size and the lid screws on nice and tight to give it a good shake)

For 6 days every day:

• Drink 1 litre of fresh apple juice.
• Drink it slowly throughout the day but not during, just before or 2 hours after meals and in the evening.
• The malic acid in the apple juice softens the gallstones making them easier to flush out later.

What to eat or not during the week:

• Avoid food or drink that is cold or chilly as these are not effective for cleansing the liver. Only eat and drink things that are warm or room temperature.
• Avoid eating any animal products or fried foods.
• Avoid any medication, vitamins not necessary.
• Apart from that, eat as normal but do not overeat.

On the 6th day:

• Only have a light breakfast such as fruit if hungry but best to not eat breakfast if you can.
• For lunch eat something like plain steamed veg but avoid eating any dairy, protein, butters, oils, sugar or you may feel ill during the cleanse.
• After 2pm – do not eat or drink anything except water otherwise the cleanse will not be effective and you may not flush any gallstones out.

You must follow the exact timings to get the most from this cleanse:

Evening:

Just before 6pm

• Add 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts into a pint jar with a lid full of filtered or distilled water (do not use tap water).
• This mixture makes it easier for the gallstones to pass and clears out anything that might obstruct the stones.
• This is 4 servings ready in the jar.

6pm

• Drink the 1st serving of the Epson salt mix (1/4 of the jar which is ¼ pint glass)
• You can drink water or lemon juice and water after if you want to get rid of the taste.

8pm

• Drink the 2nd serving of the Epson salt mix like above

9.45pm

• Wash your grapefruits and juice them. I used 1 and a half average sized pink grapefruits to make 180ml of juice.
• Pour this into the other pint jar
• Measure out 120ml of olive oil and add this to the jar with the juice, put on lid and shake thoroughly
• You will want to get completely ready for going to bed and hopefully you will need to go to the toilet or will have already done so

10pm (Extend this to latest 10:30pm if you have not been to the toilet.)

• Stand next to your bed and drink the oil/grapefruit juice mix straight down, not taking more than 5 minutes to do so.
• Then lie down straight away – this is really important in order for the gallstones to be released.
• Turn off lights, lie flat on your back with 1 or 2 pillows under your head. Your head needs to be higher than your abdomen.
• Lie perfectly still and do not speak for at least 20 minutes. Focus on your energy and attention on your liver. You may be able to feel them starting to move around your body. Relax and go to sleep.

The next morning:

6-6.30am

• Drink your 3rd serving of the Epson salt mix

8-8.30am

• Drink your 4th and final serving of the Epson salt mix

10-10.30am

• Can drink fresh fruit juice if desired
• From 11am you may eat a couple pieces of fruit
• From 12 you can eat regular but light food
• Only eat if you really feel the need but I personally tried not to eat much at all on this day and didn’t have much of any appetite either. Warm lemon water is good to have throughout the day.
• By evening you should be back to normal
• Next few days just few light meals

My experience of my first cleanse:

• During the 6 days of preparing for the cleanse I did a couple extra poos but nothing too different to normal.
• On the day of the cleanse from about 10am I was going back and forth to the toilet. In fact I went to the toilet a total of 30 times! and counted roughly about 180 gallstones that I flushed out! Lots of different sizes but from a grain of sand to about a 10 pence piece. It’s a good idea to roughly count how many you flush out. I was amazed I had so many inside me and felt lighter and so much better knowing there were out of my liver and gallbladder. Such a nice feeling and so amazing to see the results like that – there was no disputing that this cleanse worked.

So what’s next?

• Repeat this cleanse every month until no more gallstones appear
• Then repeat it twice a year - about a week before a change in season so around 15th March, 15th June, 15th September or 15th December and repeat 6 months later. In line with the solstice/equinox whichever one resonates with you.
