Overnight Liver/Gallbladder Flush
You may flush your gallbladder and liver with this simple, non-medicinal procedure in less than 24 hours. Schedule a time when you have a holiday from work or a light workload. You will start your flush at 2pm and finish by late morning of the following day. Make sure your bowels are clean. If you need, take a natural bowel cleaner (i.e. senna or cascara sagrada) the day before this cleanse.
If you have any health issues related to your liver/gallbladder, recent gall stone attacks, severe constipation, or diagnosed digestive system disorders, please consult your health care practioner before embarking on a liver/gall bladder flush.

Benefits:
Of course, you may feel nauseous drinking saltwater and the oil/juice mixture. The saltwater will get your bowels moving and open your bile ducts to prevent any pain. You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles.
Expect diarrhea in the morning. Count your stones. They will look like green and tan peas (there are plenty of pictures on the internet). The cholesterol inside makes them float. You may also have crystals, sand, and cloudy white residue; all this is usual.
You may repeat this cleanse every two weeks. Don't cleanse while ill or recovering from illness.
Tips for Good Gallbladder Health:
- Eat smaller meals
- Avoid fatty meat
- Avoid deep fried foods, hydrogenated oils; saute with only butter, ghee, or coconut oil
- Avoid spicy foods
- Avoid pasteurized dairy products
Daytime Liver/Gallbladder Flush
This is a simple, easy, gentle liver flush recipe.
Blend the following:
- 1 organic whole lemon, (pulp, rind, seeds and all)
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups of filtered water
- Optional: 4 rounded tablespoons of frozen orange juice concentrate
Strain the blended drink through a strainer to remove the pulp. Discard pulp. Divide the remaining liquid into four equal portions of approximately 1/4 cup each. Consume a portion with each of the three daily meals and before bedtime.
In addition to stimulating lymphatic flow, this drink increases the flow of bile from the liver and gallbladder. This action also enhances one's ability to digest essential fatty acids through the Peyer's patches in the small intestine.
