Liver Gallbladder Flush

DISCLAIMER

I am sharing this personal story with you to inspire you to cleanse your body’s filters. When you are afraid, think of the beauty of health. How it enables your whole life. Read the right books, in this case “The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush” by Andreas Moritz. This is how I was inspired and where I got the confidence that I would be safe during the whole process. This was the one and only guarantee I wanted to go ahead with this amazing cleanse. I got this guarantee by reading his book carefully and doing everything by the book. If you want to do a liver and gallbladder flush -and I can warmly recommend that you do- only do it well prepared. Your health is your responsibility. First get the map. Then enter the woods…

THE START – KIDNEY CLEANSE

My first purpose was to re-activate my sluggish kidneys, which are responsible for “firing up” the body and energy. Then, there were the many bladder infections I had been suffering from a few years ago and of which I knew, were bringing my kidneys into a risk zone. Third, in a lecture of Georges Lamoureux, a Chinese herbalist, I had learned that tinnitus is connected to the kidneys and the liver. I am trying to get rid of my high pitch, which is linked to cluttered kidneys. A low pitch in the ear(s) is coming from a toxin liver. Reading Moritz’ book made me very curious if it would work. During the cleanse I had moments that the pitch was louder than ever (meaning the cleanse was stirring things up) and moments that I suddenly wondered if it was still there. Unfortunately it is all back to its normal volume now. It may take a few more cleanses.

MAY 1 I started the kidney cleanse. Even if I often drink kidney cleansing teas, made of wild edibles in my garden, I was drawn to the concoction he describes. It is easy to make, all the exact amounts are mentioned. I tried to find the herbs he was talking about but first, I wasn’t sure they were organic, second, many were not available here. So I ordered the herbs on his website in Europe, together with a herbal cleansing tea for the liver (still not sure I would do the flush) and malic acid (just “in case”).

All you need to do is add 3 TBSP of the herbs to 1 quart (liter) of cold water in the evening and let it steep overnight. In the morning you have to bring it to boil, strain it and let it cool down a bit for a first portion. Drink this tea in little 6 to 8 portions during all day. It is a bitter tea, as all healing teas are. Sweeteners are not allowed but…

I got used to the bitterness very quickly and actually liked it
Consumed at room temperature, it tasted even better

Drinking enough spring water is important to rinse the kidneys during the process. Moritz also advices:

to drink ionized water, that you can make by boiling pure water during 15 to 20 minutes. Drink this water within 12 hours.
to chew on a small piece of lemon rind on the left side of the mouth 30 to 40 times
to chew on a small piece of carrot on the right side of the mouth 30 to 40 times
allow 30 minutes between chewing cycles. This chewing will stimulate the kidney functions.

I found this kidney cleanse very easy going and enjoyed the fact that I was taking care of my kidneys. My lower back pain disappeared after flaring up a few days.

I also took it as an opportunity to become open to a liver flush, as it is best to let it be introduced by a kidney cleanse. When these filters are clear it is easier for them to deal with possible residue from the liver flush. But the kidney cleanse also gave me some time to let the whole idea grow on me.

The kidneys are symbolic for “letting go” of what you are holding on to. Be aware of the connection between kidneys and possible trauma(s) -also in childhood- that haven’t been processed. Flushing out the kidneys means that you will be confronted with emotions from the past. Frequent bladder infections This is a wonderful opportunity to let go of what is still holding you back in certain ways.

A kidney cleanse can be an emotional time. I made some closures, let go of a few last things in the past that didn’t serve me anymore. I also felt a deep urge to clear out the place where I kept the last items connected to these feelings. I threw out all the things I had been holding on to for years. What a relief! What once was so difficult to let go, now went all by itself. Result: lots of new space for new opportunities and clarity!

My Liver & Gallbladder Flush

I had an inspiring, serene, spiritual day yesterday (May 29). I did something I was very afraid of and that I kept postponing. But last week I said to myself: “Get over it and do it!”

You know that I am a big fan of cleansing the body and I have done enough fasting to know how healthy it is. Last year I even extended my soft liver/gallbladderflush up to one month. There you go… a soft flush.

I didn’t want to take any risk with going all the way and doing the real thing. But last week I thought:

“What risk am I putting my body in by NOT doing it?”

This thought was my turning point. I know that many have the same fear as I had. When you are one of them, keep reading. This is why I want to report my experience in detail. Because when you know your fear, it is no longer a fear. It becomes an opportunity!

Why was I afraid to do the real flush? Because I would have to go through it alone. I had read and heard all the horror stories, false assumptions and claims, got so scared when someone said I could end up in the hospital losing my gallbladder that I stopped my intention back then, to do the flush. I was terrified by the idea to be by myself at the crucial night without help in an emergency case or any safety net. Until a beloved friend did the flush and assured me not to be afraid. My trust in his good judgment helped me over the last bump.

So… I first cleansed my kidneys for twenty days as a preparing journey for the Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush. And amazing it was…

Because I am very sensitive to candida and I didn’t want to flare it up, I softened the stones by taking malic acid for six days. Normally the procedure is to drink 1 quart of green apple juice (green, sour apples contain more malic acid) The more I approached D-day, the more calm I became. It felt so good to take care of myself on a higher level by doing what I felt I had to do!

Two days ago I started my first drinks with Epsom salt. Now that was easy! My confidence grew with the minute. I knew I had made the right decision. By the time I had to drink the oily mixture, I was excited and couldn’t wait to see -and feel- the results.

When I was laying down in bed on my right side, very still, feeling and hearing the stones passing through my liver and traveling around in my belly, I felt very serene. I stayed close to myself, thanked my liver for doing such a great job and cooperating with me (never thought I would ever do this!). The next moment I suddenly entered the movie of a beautiful, bright future. My heart felt so warm!

The next day I started flushing out the stones after a last intake of Epsom salt. After so much pure food and cleansing fasts I was totally surprised by the amount of stones that came out of me! Amazing! I got all excited and started a little private investigation, sorted out the different kinds of stones, looking for their meaning, counted them, made pictures. I felt as a child again, playing with my stone and fossile collection!

But actually I wanted to record my findings, report real facts instead of horror stories, wild guesses and assumptions. This flush made the results tangible and even if many will frown their eye brows, I know that sharing pure facts is more valuable than keeping them to myself out of vanity or being too prudish.

If you suffer from skepticism, I understand. I was born as one. But I learned that it didn’t always serve me. Especially when I had to overcome preconceptions regarding healthy actions. There is only one way to find out: by doing it.

Imagine for a moment the oil filter of your car. Or that little filter of your washing machine where lost coins and clips end up. When they get cluttered, their motor gets stuck and when you keep going, they burn out. Unless you clean them in time. And that is what you do consciously. You take your car to the garage every 10.000 kilometers for a check up, you take out the filter of your washing machine now and then to get out the lost and found pieces. Even your coffee set gets more attention when it is calcified than your liver!

Your kidneys and liver are huge body filters. They make sure that toxins are being removed, they filter everything that enters and leaves your body. Now imagine your diet of the last 20, 30 or more years. Remember the margarine you used to fry your vegetables (best case scenario) in? The gourmet dinners? The nice restaurants you visited where you “enjoyed” life. And all that time you never once cleansed your filters…

I often hear people comment to my cleanse crusade: “I just want to enjoy life!” Not realizing that they won’t for long…

The liver and gallbladder flush is a great way to change your “destiny”: painful crisises and eventually surgery. But not only that. It is proven that cleansing the liver and gallbladder is beneficial for many serious diseases and ailments. But that too, is described in “The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush.”

What is of more importance here, is my personal experience. And no one is the same, I know. Every cleanse and detox is different. What I did, was “done by the book.” I didn’t improvise, so this is a clear, real report of a clear, real protocol that works. The pictures that will follow are up here to show you that it is no luxury to clean your filters.

I was never a junk foodie, became vegetarian when I was 19, was off for a while but hopped back on as soon as I could. I became a raw foodie when I was 51 and healed my CFS and Fibromyalgia by eating 100% raw. I fasted and cleansed to restore my damaged organs and systems. My liver had been totally exhausted because of heavy metals and the burden of debilitating toxins.

What was I aiming on with this flush? Taking my health up to a next level as I was having some new issues, popping up out of the blue. Eating raw made me conscious of the fact that there is only one disease: toxicity. So the answer is obvious: detoxifying. When a problem occurs the best thing to do is getting rid of the main cause so the body can start healing itself.

I am eating raw since 4 years now so I was truly amazed to see the results of my first real flush. I considered myself pretty “clean” on pure food, a healthy lifestyle, colonics and home enemas. So these stones came as a surprise, although I felt I needed this flush somehow. But what is the biggest consternation is, that I never had the profile of a SAD eater. Of course I, too used to eat bread, cheese and yogurt, drink milk. Leaving those out of my diet started my healing process. I have been wondering those last few days: “What must be inside the liver and gallbladder of someone on a Standard American Diet all life long?” But mostly thinking about my children who just like “enjoying life”, I get goosebumps and shivers.

Clean your filters and you will enjoy life so much longer in good health. This is what this flush made very clear to me.

THE PROCEDURE

Don’t expect me to put up the whole procedure here. Not because I don’t want to share it with you, but because I find it so important that you buy the book and take the effort and time to read it yourself, to prepare yourself mentally and physically and taking full responsibility over your actions. Don’t just do the “how to…”, but know “why!” Just like Andreas Moritz, I want to emphasize that, when you grab just a flush recipe somewhere from the internet and start without any other background information, you are taking a risk. Please, be safe.

PREPARING YOUR FLUSH -6 DAYS

Preparing yourself for your flush is key for your smooth success. Determine your timing. During 6 days you will soften the stones by…

drinking 32 oz of freshly prepared apple juice per day (drink it slowly during your day) OR
if you are allergic to apple juice or have candida, replace the juice by 1/2 to 1 tsp malic acid in 1 quart of water
drink enough water, 6 to 8 glasses per day on top of the juice or malic acid
Rinse your mouth now and then with baking soda or brush your teeth to prevent the acid from damaging teeth
Avoid chilled foods or drinks: they chill the liver and reduce the effectiveness of the cleanse
Eat as pure as possible (no meat, dairy, fried foods…)
Try to do a colonic before and certainly after a liver flush
If you can’t do one before, then have enemas
On the 6th day you will drink all the apple juice or malic acid in the morning
Don’t eat anything anymore after 1.30 PM

I started having stomach pain after a few days. Each time that I swallowed a piece of fruit, I felt a sharp stich at the bottom of my stomach. I also noticed that I had trouble to digest my food. I blamed it on the malic acid, not being used to such a high acid intake. So on day 6 I drank apple juice. This is maybe something you may want to bear in mind and pay attention to. I may use cranberry juice a next time, just to see if there is any difference.

Later though, when I was visiting an osteopathic for my dislocated shoulder, it seemed that the stomach pain was caused by my diaphragm, which felt very tense he said. He loosened it up and gone was my issue!

ON DAY 6

I like doing and following up my health experiments and decided to set up the bathroom in a practical way to avoid chaos. To be able to keep track I put a plastic sieve on the toilet so I wouldn’t have to poke around in the toilet. I wanted to keep it easy, hygienic, as clean as the clarity in my head. So this is what you need if you are just like me and you don’t like messy situations…

An old, plastic sieve with handles (plastic is more comfortable)
A pair of plastic gloves
Some old bowls or platters you don’t use anymore
An old spoon you aren’t using anymore or you can take a plastic one
A role of kitchen towel
A plastic bottle with tap water
Enough toilet paper
A squatting stool (or something you can use to put your feet up while releasing stool)

Now don’t laugh, but this works very well to keep things tidy and neat! This is a great system to keep track with what you lose and the amounts. It is helpful for your next flushes -and health- to know what you are releasing. You don’t have to do it the way I laid it all out but counting your stones and looking at their composition and color helps you to understand your body and diet.

In the morning I had an enema because I didn’t have a colonic before the cleanse, which is advised in Andreas book. An enema helps too though.

At 6PM I had the 4 TBSP of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) in 24 oz (0.70 liter) of spring water and followed the whole procedure exactly as described in Andreas’ book. I was extremely calm and confident in my process. When I finally drank the mixture at 10PM, I lied down immediately as said, turned on my right side and waited in complete silence and darkness. I relaxed and prepared myself mentally to fall asleep as soon as possible.

I had no idea what to expect, what to feel. After about five minutes though, it came as a total surprise to me how I could clearly feel a “row” of stones passing through my liver. “Ttrrrrrrrrrrt.” Well, I supposed they were stones as there wasn’t anything that ever felt like this ever before. Even more surprising was that I could hear them moving! I got really excited by the thought that this was actually working (I am the kind of person:”First see/experience, then believe.”) but kept quiet and focused on my liver.

A little while later, a next row of rustling objects wandered under my ribs and I could follow their track through my whole colon until below in the left side of my belly. The colon was contracting, pushing, waving under my hand. No pain, just… a lot of movement!

While I was undergoing every step of the way peacefully yet very consciously, alive images of my future popped up out of nowhere and revealed themselves with the power of hopeful dreams come true. What started as a cleansing action for my body activated my spiritual view on life. It was soothing, calming, beautiful, touching.

I fell asleep off and on, with the waves that came and went of traveling stones. Sometimes I slept very deeply and woke up with a shock when “things” were happening. I didn’t have to go to the bathroom once and enjoyed being in bed during this process because I knew that I needed this rest during this intense cleansing. No pain whatsoever.

ON DAY 7

The next morning it was time to drink another glass of Epsom salt. Nothing was happening yet and I started to wonder if I had actually felt what I felt the night before. The skeptic me was wide awake again. But then, after about one hour I suddenly had to run!

After releasing the first watery stool, all I had to do was pouring water through the sieve. Simple, easy, clean. The next moment I could not believe what appeared… stones! Quite many! Too many in my opinion because I was eating raw since 4 years and vegetarian before that since I was 19. But yes, with on an off phases of “healthy junk” back then, searching for the right way to nourish myself.

Here are the results of each time I had to go to the toilet throughout the whole day. I found it interesting to lay out the stones, just to show you what comes out of a healthy eating person! I can’t tell you how many times I have been imaging what a Standard American Diet produces in a cluttered gallbladder and a toxic liver… I hope this can inspire you to take care of your health by eating healthy or raw and cleansing yourself on a regular basis.

Doing a liver/gallbladder flush only once is not enough. When you decide to do one, be aware that you have to continue about every 4 to 6 weeks until all the stones are being removed! This may be 6, 9 or 12 times… depending on how many are built up during the years. Once you are not releasing any, you are clear. Repeating this cleanse once a year will help you stay free of stones and the issues they can cause.

It may be confusing to you that I wrote “flush” each time on the paper, but what I really mean by flush is each release throughout the day. I put a piece of 2 cent up there to have a reference regarding size. I didn’t mind putting up the “sand” and tinier stones. But this will give you a pretty good idea on what you can expect. Although not everybody will release stones from the first flush on. Every body is different.

A few times no stones were being released and by the end of the day everything calmed down. Next day everything was back to normal. Two days later I had a colonic. I felt extremely healthy, fit and calm. A very nice experience that I can warmly recommend to commit to. As I will, until all is cleared out.
