Liver Flushing 101 - The Flush (congenital diseases? yes! you can flush too!)

Now that you have all your 'ingredients', you're ready to do the actual flush. Unlike most other cleanses you hear people doing, the goal of this cleanse is not weight loss! This cleanse will not weaken you or tire you out like other 'fasting' and 'colon' based cleanses. The main purpose of this cleanse is healing. People have healed many 'incurable diseases' just by flushing the accumulated junk it their livers and gallbladders. When people ask me why they should flush their livers I hear a lot of fear in their voices. I tell them it's the exact same principle as doing an engine flush on your car. The oil accumulates residue (stagnant bile), sludge (crystalized cholesterol), if you leave it in there too long it will develop into grit (gallstones). The pistons won't move as effortlessly as they used to (begin having aches/pains/headaches/food intolerances you never had before). If this keeps up over many years, the engine starts breaking down (disease) and you'll end up having to replace parts (surgeries). See the connection here? Good! Let's begin

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN TAKING YOUR GOLD COIN GRASS (1tbsp or 10x3g tablets am) FOR AT LEAST 6 DAYS BEFORE DOING THE FOLLOWING

Flush day schedule

WARNING: YOU ARE NOT TO CONSUME ANY REFINED SUGAR, BUTTER, FATS, OILS, NUTS, CHEESE, DAIRY OR PROTEIN DURING THIS DAY - AND NO VITAMINS, HERBS, MEDICATIONS OR SUPPLEMENTS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY (like your hydrocortisone, prednisone, decadron, pariet, neurontin, celebrex, etc...).

REASON WHY? YOUR LIVER WILL BE TAKING ON A LOT LATER TODAY SO IT'S NOT ADVISABLE TO GIVE IT ITEMS THAT ARE HARD TO DIGEST BEFORE HAND - THAT'S ALL.

Morning: Eat a light sugar/fat/protein free breakfast. This may be hard if you are hypoglycemic like me or diabetic. But don't worry I've found a way to do this flush without blood sugar crashes. Best meal to eat is oatmeal! Have a nice big bowl of steelcut oats, multigrain oats, cream of wheat, or 7 grain hot cereal. This will give you the low GI you're looking for.

Snack: You may eat fruit, I recommend bananas because the high potassium will assist you with dehydration once the stones come out. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE CAH, ADDISON'S OR CUSHING'S OR ARE ON STEROID BASED ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS AS THERE ROB YOUR BODY OF POTASSIUM.

Lunch: Eat oatmeal again or brown rice with brocoli with soy sauce. You can steam a large amount of vegetables or make a huge organic mixed greens salad with fat free dressing. Or do all of the above. Many will advise against over eating at this meal but I've found it doesn't matter.

*Note: I sometimes add vegetable protein (roasted tofu cubes, Edamame, kidney beans, refried beans) to my lunch to regulate my blood sugar. Listen to your body, if you're feeling a little light headed, eat some protein with your lunch, you'll feel much better the rest of the day. I have never had problems with the outcome of my flushes from eating protein during my flush. I've never eaten animal protein though, remember - EASY AND FAST TO DIGEST!

Snack: more raw veggies with lemon pepper spice or lemon juice/salt, a baked potato with fat free dressing, more oatmeal. Or eat nothing if you're feeling ok - it's up to you!

**** This (1-2pm) is where most liver flush regimens will advise you to start fasting but having hypoglycemia due to a congenital adrenal condition, going for 36hrs without food or juice isn't possible. But it is ok to eat something solid after 1pm. I've done it at every flush and was fine, never went to the hospital with blocked bile ducts, adrenal crisis, vomitting or dehydration - NEVER! But I will recommend you try as best you can to not eat anything solid, like my gastroenterologist said to me: only clear fluids, if you can hold it up and see through it you can drink it! What is a clear fluid high in potassium and will maintain your glucose levels? hmmm.... and the winner is: APPLE JUICE! yes, I purchase 3 tetra packs of apple juice at every flush. I sip on apple juice throughout the day after 1pm. Sometimes it sustains me other times it doesn't. That's when i'll have a bowl of rice with almond milk heated in the microwave with a dap of honey and cinnamon. it's delicious!

6:00pm sharp: prepare 3 cups of spring or distilled water in a jug. Add 4 heaping tablespoons of the epsom salts. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vitamin C powder, and a couple of squirts of lemon juice. Stir until all the salts are dissolved. Take a straw and drink 3/4 cup of the mixture now. Try not to take more than 5 mins to drink it. Do not drink any juice or water for 20 mins afterward. Go back to your normal activities. You may drink water and/or juices freely. You will find that the epsom salts will make you feel bloated and full. You won't want to eat much starting here.

8:00pm sharp: With a straw, drink another 3/4 cup of the mixture. Try not to take more than 5 mins to drink it. Do not drink any juice or water for 20 mins afterward. Go back to your activities.

9:30 pm sharp: Pour 2-4 cups of spring or distilled water into the enema bag. Lie down on your right side. Place the enema bag at least 3 feet above ground (4ft if you want more momentum) and release the clip to let the water flow. Stop when you feel "full", massage your belly, release the water again, and again, and again, until you really really feel "full". Stay still in the fetal position for at least 2-10 mins. Then go to the bathroom.

9:50pm: pour 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil in a measuring cup. In another measuring cup or shaker jar. Pour 1/4 cup of lemon juice then add 2/4 cup of orange juice. You now have 3/4 cup of your acidic mixture. Pour the 1/2 cup of olive oil into it. Put the lid on it, and shake vigorously for at least 2 mins.

10:00pm sharp: Stand up beside your bed, set your alarm for 6am, take a gravol (to fall asleep and control the nausea during the night), PEOPLE WITH CAH, ADDISON'S OR CUSHING'S - YOU MAY TAKE AN EXTRA 50-100MG HYDROCORTISONE (OR 1MG DECADRON) TO HANDLE THE STRESS YOUR BODY WILL BE UNDER DURING THE NIGHT, have some honey (chaser in case you gag - i never needed it) available. Place a straw in the cup and take slow steady sips of the mixture until it's gone. It shouldn't taste bad, but may burn the back of your throat like strong lemonade - this is normal! Do not take more than 15mins.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT SPEAK! Lay down on the bed and turn on your right side (fetal position) DO NOT SPEAK! stay still for a minimum of 30mins. The gravol should kick in and you'll fall asleep anyway. You can also put some headphones on and listen to meditation music like Stephen Halpern's Chakra Suite.

*Note: You may wake up in the middle of the night with nausea, discomfort, headache, and body pains. This is from the release of toxins from the liver. You can drink as much water or juice as you'd like. Remember: You just took epsom salts to dilate your bile ducts (prep), then forced your liver to 'sneeze' by ingesting a large amount of fat in a short period of time forcing it to dump huge amounts of bile into your intestinal tract. Taking whatever obstacles (stones) in its path down with it.

6:00 am sharp: Drink another 3/4 cup of the epsom salt mixture. Return to bed or stay up it's up to you. Don't forget to set your alarm for 8:00am if you go back to bed!

8:00 am sharp: Drink your 4th and last 3/4 cup dose of the epsom salt mixture. Please don't skip the 3rd and 4th doses, you will regret it. You must keep those bile ducts dilated so no stones get stuck.

*Note: You will now begin a series of bowel movements. This is the flush in action!

Things you may see come on during your movements:

• white foam (this is chaffing or cholesterol crystals)
• tiny green stones (cholesterol stones)
• white or black stones (calcified calcium stones)
• reddish green water (stagnant bile)

Contrary to what people may say to you...These really are from your liver and not things stuck in your colon!

You may set a plastic bag or paper towel on the vanity counter and with a tea strainer, strain out the stones and take a picture. I know someone who was so shocked that he had a 2" black calcified stone pass painlessly. He had it cased and now shows it to his patients (yes he's doctor).

9:00 - 9:30 am: Begin eating light foods, you can even take your vitamins, minerals, and supplements. Listen to your body. Don't over do it.

*Note: it is extremely important to stay hydrated because you will be having at least 6-12 very watery bowel movements in less than a day! IMPORTANT: PEOPLE WITH CUSHING'S ADDISON'S OR CAH YOU MUST TAKE AT LEAST 100MG HYDROCORTISONE (OR 1MG DECADRON) ON TOP OF YOUR MORNING DOSE - THEN SEE IF YOU NEED MORE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.

HAVE SOUPS AS THEY ARE HIGH IN SODIUM, EAT BANANAS AS THEY ARE HIGH IN POTASSIUM. These are my favourite natural replacements for saline IVs:

• V8 Vegetable cocktail: with 300mg potassium and 400 mg sodium per serving it's better and hospital saline or gatorade.
• Gatorade: perfect mix of sodium, potassium, and glucose. All things lost during dehydration.
• miso soup w/nori: trace minerals in seaweed paired with high sodium, potassium and probiotics to replenish intestinal flora.
• Rice with soya sauce: again high in carbs and sodium. Perfect meal to keep you from dehydrating.

Symptoms you may feel throughout the day:

• Nausea: Don't worry it will slowly dissapear - by 3pm you should feel better
• Migraine/Splitting Headache: This is from the extreme release of toxins (like a cloud of stagnant dust from an air filter) passing through your system. You may take an Advil (no Tylenol) if it's too much
• Fever: if you have an adrenal condition take more hydrocortisone and an Advil!
• Chills: same as above

Keep drinking and eating and take at least 6-8 acidophilus tablets throughout the day. This will help replenish your intestinal flora lost during the flush. Making sure you don't get a Candida infection.

Next day: Eat light still, give yourself another enema to clean out any residue of the flush. This is very important. If stones get stuck in your feces and stay in your system, you will get very ill due to the toxins in your blood. So please do the 2nd enema.

THAT'S IT YOU SURVIVED YOUR 1ST LIVER FLUSH - EASIER THAN YOU THOUGHT WASN'T IT?
