THE LIVER AND GALLBLADDER CLEANSE

What does the Liver do?

Our liver is the largest glandular organ in the body and it performs over 500 functions. It burns fat, filters blood, removes tox-ins/ harmful substances and metabolic waste, converts glucose to glycogen, helps in absorption of minerals and vitamins, makes cholesterol and hormones for our body, detoxifies alcohol and medicinal drugs.

Furthermore, the liver is essential in the digestive process by producing bile and releasing it into the small intestine. To stay healthy, the liver must produce enough bile. Due to accumulation of too many toxins, bile production is severely hampered which can contribute to acidity, burning sensation, bloating, indigestion, nutritional deficiency and heart and lung diseases.

What is Gallbladder?

Gall bladder is a small pear-shaped muscular sack that acts as a storage tank (4x2 inches) for bile. It is attached to the poste- rior side of liver on one side and connected to the intestine on the other. Its main function is to collect watery bile produced by liver. The walls of gall bladder absorb excess water and make the bile concentrated. This concentrated bile is required to digest fatty/ protein rich foods. “The walls of the gallbladder contract and eject bile when acidic foods, most protein foods and fatty foods enter the duodenum from the stomach. Anything solid cannot pass through this opening in the gallbladder.

What is Bile and its functions?

Bile is greenish-brown fluid that is made and secreted by the liver and sent through the bile duct to the gall bladder. Bile is required for the digestion of food. Without adequate bile you do not metabolise your fats well which can result in a deficiency of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) and you may also have problems digesting the essential fatty acids.Due to clogging of the liver bile production is severely hampered leading to multiple health issues.

What are the symptoms of liver dysfunction due to gallstones?

While some people may experience pain, discomfort, acidity, indigestion, bloating etc, others may not experience any notice- able symptoms. Fatty liver, enlarged Liver, hepatic steatosis, inflammation. When the bile ducts get clogged with sludge/Cholesterol and stones, the liver expands to accommodate the deposited stuff. Fatty/Enlarged liver is nothing but severe clogging of the liver. Once all gallstones are removed through a series of liver flush- es, the liver returns to its normal size within a short period. Stones in the gallbladder are an indication that all is not well with the Liver. There is a common misconception that gallstones can be found only in the gallbladder. Most gallstones are actually formed in the liver and comparatively few occur in the gallbladder. Once you see hundreds of green or beige-coloured gallstones floating in the toilet bowl during your first liver flush, you will intuitively know that no amount of scientific proof or medical explanation can make these any more valuable than they already are.

Understanding Gallstones

A gallstone is not a true stone. Gallstones are formed in the liver and are made of waxy substance.They are basically grease balls consisting of bile salts, cholesterol crystals, mucus, as well as toxins, bacteria, and, sometimes, dead parasites. These grease balls and sludge clog the bile ducts in the liver as well as the gall bladder. Even the largest stones are excreted from gallbladder and intestinal tract painlessly thanks to “The Liver Cleanse” Formula. The size of the stones ranges from a pinhead to that of a small walnut. Normally, only liquid can pass through the mouth of gall bladder. The epsom salt used in the cleanse is responsible for opening it so that bigger stones can pass through.

I have passed these grease balls upto 1.5 inches in size, so have a lot of other people I personally know.

Why is it that sometimes even after doing a Liver Cleanse stones are visible in the ultrasound?

It takes a series of cleanses before the gall bladder is fully cleansed. When a cleanse is done, although the stones from gall bladder are flushed out, more stuff from the liver travels to the liver and gets deposited simultaneously and will show in the ultrasound/Xray. If the liver is severely clogged it may take a series of cleanses to fully clean the liver and gall bladder. Liver cleanse has to be repeated every four weeks till the stuff stops coming out in the last cleanse that you do. I took me almost 13 cleanses to fully detoxify and clean my liver and gall bladder, before the Xray reflected a gallbladder free of any deposits.

Does EVERYONE have stones?

Yes. Each and every person who has done liver cleanse as a routine detoxification process has expelled green sludge, gravel and stones although there was no indication of presence of stones. I am aware thousands of people who have successfully done liver cleansing process prescribed by Dr Piyush Saxena, (some of them repeatedly) and in each and every case they were able to expel stones and green sludge from their liver and gall bladder. In a lot of these cases the liver and gall bladder showed no indication of any clogging or stones, neither was it reflected in ultrasound. When the gall bladder was scanned or X-rayed, no stone was detected. Still the stones were visible when the cleanse was attempted by helthy individuals without any symptoms. Liver has a tendency to throw out calcium. It is believed that the stones in the liver are not calcified hence the stones do not appear in X-ray or ultrasound whereas the gallstones are calcified.

Why should the Gallbladder NOT be removed?

One of the main function of gall bladder is to store and make the bile concentrated. Without the concentrated bile one is unable to digest essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 fats. It also means you’ll have a hard time absorbing fat soluble vitamins, such as vitamins D, E, A , K, Omega 6 and Omega 3. The removal of the gallbladder does not substantially increase bile flow, because the stones that are stuck in the liver bile ducts continue to hold up the flow of bile. Moreover the diluted bile keeps on flowing into the duedenum whether you need it. In the absence of the gall bladder which stores bile, the diluted and reduced quantity of bile is unable to act on fatty foods. or not. Gallbladder surgery is a procedure that can be avoided. Indeed what they used to do in such cases in “the old days” was to cut the bladder open, remove the “stones” and then sew it back up. There are other non surgical safer methods available but never used. Many people have been able to avoid gallbladder surgery by doing a series of Liver Cleanses.

What IF Gallbladder has been removed?

It is advisable to do a liver cleanse to clear stones and sludge lodged in the bile ducts in the liver, even if the gallbladder has been surgically removed. The Liver Cleanse will flush out the area and expel gallstones that may have formed post surgery or are lodged in the bile ducts in liver. In order to compensate for reduced bile, bovine bile supplements are recommended for easier digestion in all such cases.

Recommendations

A series of cleanses every 15 - 20 days till no stones are expelled in the last cleanse. Thereafter maintenance: once every 6 months

Contraindications

People with advanced liver diseases, kidney diseases and advanced stages of other diseases must not attempt a cleanse. Additionaly if you have a stent in the gall bladder, are on chemotherapy, You are extremely weak, and have a history of fainting due to low BP, bedridden, unable to walk to toilet several times due to any condition, you must not do the cleanse. For all other conditions it can be done under supervision. It is suggested that every liver cleanse must be preceded by a kidney cleanse for best results. An enema is recommended before and after the cleanse.

My Personal Journey

I have included more than fifteen years of experience doing Dr. Hulda Clark’s, Andreas Moritz’s and Dr Piyush Saxena’s liver flush recipes. They are basically the same, but Moritz advises to spend six days before each flush, preparing the body by drinking one litre of apple apple juice or malic acid to soften the stones, prior to the cleanse. I did this for some of my flushes, but I found Dr Piyush Saxena’s recipe to be shorter and convenient. I was always amazed with the quantity of sludge and size of stones expelled. There are so many different thera- pies, diets, supplements and lifestyles to choose from, which we come across everyday. It can be very confusing. So when you discover and experience something that really works, you want to share it with everyone. To experience that spike in energy and reduction in whatever chronic symptom that you may have, liver cleanse is highly recommended. Before you attempt a cleanse, I strongly recommend that you go through the “Frequently asked question” posted on page number 87 of cure yourself book of Dr Piyush Saxena and also visit the following link shared by Dr Andrea Moritz which are very helpful.

During this process stone of any size whether 10 mm, 20, 30 or 50 mm, single stone or multiple stones, they are easily expelled. It is impossible for the stones to get stuck as the magnesium in epsom salt dilates the ducts and olive oil makes it slippery. Since the liver is also full of stones, they will travel from the liver and will once again get deposited in the gall bladder. This will show in ultrasound. Repeated cleansing every 15 - 20 days will help clean the liver.

Que. 8. When to get the ultrasound done?

DO NOT GET THE ULTRASOUND DONE BEFORE THE LIVER IS FULLY CLEAN. This may require a series of cleanses.

Buy only pure cold press extra virgin olive oil from a reliable company, preferably in a glass bottle.

The entire oil that you drink is expelled by the body during cleansing process hence it does not raise cholestrol levels and is absolutely safe for even heart patients. The oil is required to trigger the liver release the bile and throw out stones. Infact liver cleanse protects the heart.

Que 13. How to find out if the bright green, dark green, brown , beige colour stones / sludge that you see in the stool is from the liver and gall bladder?

Stool always settles down in the toilet bowl and the stones that come out will float because of the fat content in them. You may put a strainer in the toilet and collect the stones and get them tested in lab to clear any doubt.

Que 14. Should healthy people who do not have gallstones or do not have fatty liver do the cleanse?

YES. Each and every person must do the cleanse to clean the liver as the liver is a filter which gets clogged by eating cooked, fried, processed, packaged and animal protein foods.
