Health Tip of the Week: The Gallbladder Cleanse

What you need:

4 tbsp Epson Salts
½ cup Olive Oil
1 Large Pink Grapefruit
Jar (with lid)

Choose a day for this cleanse like a Saturday so that you can rest the next day. Take no medications, vitamins or pills that you can do without as they may prevent success. Stop any parasite program, and discontinue use of kidney herbs the day before. Eat a no fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal with fruit, fruit juice, bread, preserves or honey. DO NOT eat any milk, butter, cheese etc. Bake potatoes and other vegetables are allowed with salt only. This eating batter allows bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones.

Before 2pm- Drink a tall glass of juice (before 2pm)

2pm- DO NOT EAT OR DRINK AFTER 2PM (If you break this rule you could feel ill later)

Get your Epson sales ready. Mix 4 tbsp in 3 cups of water and pour this into a jar. This makes 4 servings- ¾ cup each. Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold. (this is for convince and taste only).

6pm- Drink one serving (3/4 cup) of Epson salt water. If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tbsp in ¾ water now. You may also drink a few sips of water afterward or rinse your mouth. Get the olive oil and grapefruit out to warm up.

8pm- repeat drinking another (¾ cup) of Epson salt water. You have not eaten since 2pm but you will not feel hungry. T is not recommended that you get any chores done before going to be because once you’ve taken the mixture the body needs to be still.

TIMING IS CRITIAL FOR SUCCESS. DO NOT BE MORE THAN 10 MINUTES EARLY OR LATE.

9:45pm- Pour ½ cup olive oil into the pint jar. Squeeze the grapefruit by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have a least ½ cup or more (3/4 cup is best). Add this to the olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery. (only fresh grapefruit juice will do this)

10:00pm- Drink the grapefruit/olive oil mixture. You can drink through a large plastic straw if you need to, which will make it go down easier. You may use ketchup, cinnamon, or brown sugar to chase it down between sips if you need to. Take it to your bedside if you want, but drink it sitting up. Get it down within 5 minutes (15 for elderly or weak persons). Lie down immediately. You might fail to get stones out if you do not.

It is important that as soon as you drink the mixture to lie flat on your back with your head high on a pillow. Try to visualize stones moving out of your body. Keep still for 20 minutes. You may feel a train of stones traveling down the bile duct like marbles. There is no pain because the build valve is open due to the Epson salts. Go to sleep, this will insure success.

Next morning- upon awakening take your third dose of Epson salt water. If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it goes before drinking the salt water. You may go back to bed after drinking the mixture; it is advised not to take it before 6am.

2 hours later- Take the fourth and last dose of Epson salt water. Drink ¾ cup of the mixture (this should be the amount that is remaining). You may go back to bed if you needed.

After 2 more hours- you may eat. Start with fruit juice. Half an hour later eat fruit. One hour later you may eat regular food but keep it light. By supper you should be fully recovered.

You will notice during the cleanse that you body will flush out objects that look somewhat green and odd shaped. They are slimy to the touch and come in different sizes, ranging from the head of a pin all the way up to a nickel coin or a bit larger. Each flush is different, some will produce a slight amount of stones, and other may yield cups.

After the cleanse it is recommended to drink two cups of Dandelion tea for 10 days, or check with your practitioner about dandelion capsules.
