![]() Here is my experience with a liver and gallbladder flush and why I plan to continue doing it until I’ve cleared my liver and gallbladder of all their gallstones and other harmful toxins. And if you bow out now, you would be missing out on an incredible opportunity to improve your overall health and thus the quality of your life. Wait! Don’t let my mention of “seven” turn you off and cause you close this article because the only part of this particular cleanse that feels like a, well, cleanse, is the final 14 hours. It usually takes two days to complete, and should result in gallstones literally ‘rolling out’ through your bile ducts, and passing naturally through your system.Convinced by a friend of mine, who loves to explore all things “detox”, I decided to do a seven-day liver cleanse. This gallstone flush involves epsom salts, grapefruit juice and olive oil. This should be done under the advice of a Naturopath, Functional or Integrative Medicine practitioner. In more extreme cases, you may be advised to follow the work of Andreas Moritz, whose book The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush, details how you can partake in a more extensive ‘flush’ at home. In addition, epsom salts can be used to open up your bile ducts, and encourage bile sludge to move through your system. This comprises of a cup of lemon juice and olive oil per day, which can be enjoyed over salads. In mild cases of liver/gallbladder malfunction, it is likely that your Functional Medicine practitioner will suggest a 10 day ‘cleanse’. Another reason we like to refer to it as your “live-r"!

Much like the washing-up-liquid bottle, which needs its nozzle to be cleared, your gallbladder is the same. The same thing happens in your body! When bile sludge gathers around your bile ducts, the products of your liver which need to pass through to your small intestine can’t do so as easily, or in the amounts, which they need to. This in turn means that your plates remain greasy. The washing-up-liquid, which usually helps to clean your plates, can no longer pass through the nozzle. However, when it’s not working at its best, bile sludge can develop, as can gallstones.īile sludge is akin to soap scum building up around the tip of your washing-up-liquid bottle. When your gallbladder is functioning well it will easily pass excess waste from your liver, through to your small intestine. Problems arise when your liver and gallbladder aren’t working as they should be, and your body is not able to detoxify, or process fats as it would like to. This is essential as your small intestine is extremely sensitive to the PH levels of the products it receives. By the time the contents of your stomach passes through your gallbladder and into your small intestine, its PH level is balanced. To neutralise your stomach acid, your gallbladder secretes bile - an alkaline substance. Your gallbladder is located close to the medial and intermediate lobes of your liver. Its primary purpose is fat emulsification, and the neutralisation of the acidic contents of your stomach. Unlike your liver, your gallbladder is a small organ.
