Wholistic Health Notes - Liver/Gall Bladder Flush

The Liver & Gall Bladder Flush


One of the most important procedures for persons over 25 years of age, is the liver and gallbladder flush. This should be done for 1-2 wks. and repeated again within 6 mos. to 1 yr.


* From Monday through Saturday noon, you should drink as much apple juice as your appetite will permit, in addition to regular meals. Your nutritional supplements should also be taken during this time. You may use apple juice or cider purchased preferably from the health food store, or from the supermarket (read the labels to make sure that the juice contains NO additives whatsoever).

* At noon on Saturday, eat a normal lunch.
Two hours later, take two teaspoons of DiSodium Phosphate or Epsom salts dissolved in about one ounce of hot water. The taste is objectionable and may be followed by small amount of fresh-squeezed citrus juice.

* Two hours later, take a quart of Coffee Enema* with a 1/4 cup of Epsom salt added.
One hour later repeat Step 3 entirely (DiSodium Phosphate or Epsom salts).
For the evening meal, you may have a grapefruit, grapefruit juice or other citrus fruit of juice.

* At bedtime, you have two choices:
a. Take 1/2 cup of warm unrefined olive oil followed by a small glass of freshly squeezed citrus juice.
b. Take 1/2 cup of warm unrefined olive oil blended with a small glass of freshly squeezed citrus juice.

Unrefined olive oil can be purchased form your health food store. It is best to use fresh citrus and juice; canned or bottled is permissible but not preferred.

* Go immediately to bed and lie on you right side with the right knee pulled up close to the chest for 30 minutes. If you feel ill during the night, take a Coffee Enema with 1/4 cup of Epsom salts, this will alleviate the ill feeling.

* The next morning, one hour before breakfast, take two teaspoons, by mouth, of the DiSodium Phosphate or Epsom salts as in Step 3.

Most persons have reported slight to moderate nausea when taking the olive oil with citrus juice, which slowly disappears by the time they go to sleep. Should you vomit the olive oil, you do not need to repeat it. Vomiting only very-rarely happens.


This flushing of the liver and gall bladder (if present), stimulates the internal cleansing of the liver as no other system does. Often times, persons suffering from Gall Stones, biliousness, backaches, nausea, & etc. for years; find Gall Stone type objects in the stool the following day. These objects may be light of dark green in color, very irregular in shape, gelatinous in texture, and vary in size from “grape seeds” to “cherries”. If there seems to be a large number of these objects in the stool, the liver flush should be repeated in two weeks.
