We also provide dietary, herbal, and supplement remedies for conditions such as candidiasis (overgrowth of the Candida albicans fungus) and parasites, two factors that impair the ability of the intestines to eliminate toxins, which ultimately disrupts sleep.

See book keywords and concepts |  The three-week break between flushes may include the six-day preparation for the next liver flush, but most ideally, it should start after the three weeks have passed. If you cannot flush this often, you may take more time between flushes.
The important thing to remember is that once you have started cleansing the liver, you should keep cleansing it until no more stones come out during two consecutive flushes. Leaving the liver half clean for a long period of time (three or more months) may cause greater discomfort than not cleansing it at all. | | The actual liver flush takes place within a period of less than fourteen hours and can be done conveniently over a weekend at home. Chapter 1 explains in detail why the presence of gallstones in the bile ducts, both inside and outside the liver, can be considered the greatest health risk and the cause of almost every major or minor illness. In
Chapter 2, you will be able to identify the signs, marks, and symptoms that indicate the presence of stones in your liver or gallbladder. Other chapters deal with the possible causes of gallstones and what you can do to prevent new ones from occurring. | | The implications of applying the liver flush for yourself—or, if you are a health practitioner, for your patients—are immensely rewarding. To have a clean liver equals having a new lease on life.
The following are a few examples indicating the extreme importance of a healthy, clean liver:
• Almost every illness is either directly or indirectly caused by congestion of the liver bile ducts and gallbladder.
• Trapped, toxic bile is the source of most digestive problems. |

Coffee Enema
This therapy, easily done at home, helps to purge the liver of accumulated toxins, dead cells, and waste products. The enema is prepared by brewing organic caffeinated coffee, letting it cool to body temperature, and delivering it via an enema bag. Coffee contains chloret-ics, substances that increase the flow of bile from the gallbladder. | | Here are his instructions for preparing and administering a liver flush:
1. Squeeze enough fresh lemons or limes to produce 1 cup of juice. Dilute with a small amount of distilled or spring water, if desired, but the more sour, the better it will perform as a liver cleanser. Orange or
How to Administer a Coffee Enema
Retain the solution for 12 to 15 minutes. If you have trouble retaining or taking the full amount, lower the bag; if you feel spasms, lower the bag to the floor to relieve the pressure. After about 20 seconds, slowly start raising the bag toward the original level. |

See book keywords and concepts | | When I refer to the liver flush, it includes flushing of the gallbladder as well.
Relying so heavily on blood tests for diagnostic purposes, as conventional medicine does, may actually be a great disadvantage with regard to assessing liver health. Most people who have a physical complaint of one kind or another may have perfectly normal liver enzyme levels in the blood, despite suffering from liver congestion. Liver congestion is among the leading health problems, yet conventional medicine rarely refers to it, nor do doctors have a reliable way to detect and diagnose such a condition. | | Speaking for myself, the liver flush is the best thing I have ever done for my physical and mental well-being.
You may wonder why in mainstream medicine there is no medical knowledge or reference that deals with gallstones in the liver. The reason for this extremely important missing link is that the theories of modern medicine tell you that gallstones can only be formed in the gallbladder, and not in the liver. | | By performing a liver flush, the body will release plenty of non-calcified, bile-coated stones. These stones are identical to the green non-calcified stones found in a surgically removed gallbladder. When cut through their middle part, both these "types" of gallstones bear typical age marks, similar to those seen in cut tree trunks. Proper analysis would reveal their age and the kinds of toxins, chemicals and bacteria the body had or has to deal with most. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Flushing The Liver
A liver flush is a remarkable tool to help the body detoxify itself. Many times chronic illness will not improve until the liver is cleared of toxins. Some of my most difficult patients have not responded to any therapy until they have undergone a successful liver flush.
Flushing the liver of toxins can help improve the liver's ability to filter out harmful chemicals, activate and deactivate hormones, release and store glucose, increase the body's metabolism, improve digestion, and improve the functioning of the immune system.
Begin a liver flush by cleaning up the diet. |

A very popular lay remedy for gallstones is the so-called olive oil "liver flush". There are several variations. A typical one involves drinking 1 cup of unrefined olive oil with the juice of two lemons in the morning for several days.
Many people tell tales of passing huge stones while on the liver flush. However, what they think are gallstones are simply a soft saponified complex of minerals, olive oil, and lemon juice produced within the gastrointestinal tract.
The olive oil liver flush is probably undesirable for patients with gallstones for several reasons. |

The olive oil liver flush is probably undesirable for patients with gallstones for several reasons. First, consuming a large quantity of any oil will result in contraction of the gall bladder which may increase the likelihood of a stone blocking the bile duct. This may result in a cholecystitis, requiring immediate surgery to prevent death. | | Although this effect has not yet been observed in humans, the animal research suggests it is unwise to use an olive oil liver flush as a treatment of gall bladder disease.30 This recommendation is not meant to obviate the use of the liver flush as a viable method of liver detoxification. Rather it is a caution against its use in patients with gallstones.
Fish oils
Although human studies appear to not be available at this time, some provocative animal studies exist. For example, one study compared a diet high in lard with a diet high in fish oils in 21 male African green monkeys. |

See book keywords and concepts |  I used to think it was a horrible shame that people should lose their gallbladders when there was a perfecdy simple liver flush drink that they could make in their blender with olive oil, citrus juice and other foods and herbs that flush the stones right out. It amazed me that no doctor had ever heard of such a simple technique, since it would have saved millions of gallbladders. Liver flushes saved my own mother's gallbladder from surgery later on, and she, to this day, still has it.

Listing them all is beyond the scope of this book. I caution the reader to work with a skilled health care practitioner when instituting a liver flush. You will get the best results when someone is there to guide you.
Final Thoughts
The idea of detoxification can seem daunting. Don't be overwhelmed. Find a knowledgeable health care provider who can work with you. A proper liver detoxification plan can reverse chronic illness and certainly will improve the functioning of the immune system and all the systems of the body. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Naturopaths stimulate the liver to throw off this accumulation, which is called a "liver flush." I tried it, drinking a combination of olive oil and lemon juice. My book said hundreds of stones would be passed. But despite the most careful scrutiny, I found not even one. Apparently, several decades on a low-fat, vegetarian diet will not yield a bumper crop of liver stones. But if you think you need a liver flush, do it with supervision, or at least with careful reading and preparation. |

• Follow the liver flush and Purifying Diet or fast for up to one week.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
• Take calcium (up to 400 milligrams a day) and chelated magnesium (up to 800 milligrams a day).
• Daily vitamin B-12 intramuscular injections for up to two weeks (then less often) are effective for some sufferers (see ASTHMA).
HERBAL REMEDIES
• Bromelain and turmeric (two or three capsules up to four times a day spaced between meals) may be helpful as anti-inflammatories (available from Scientific Botanicals of Seattle). |

Substitute only whole foods and drink adequate amounts of filtered water. Having a massage therapist do a lymphatic drainage technique is also helpful.
The next step is to take butyric acid 500- l,000mg three times per day and to use coconut butter, one tablespoon two times per day. These are healthy fats for the liver and are available at a health food store. Next, I recommend taking alpha lipoic acid lOOmg twice per day. |
