24 Hour Liver Cleanse
This formula or a variation of it has been used for hundreds of years to cleanse the liver and improve health.
Be sure to follow this protocol to the "t" for best results. Set aside at least 24 hours to do this cleanse, with plenty of time to spend resting and visiting the bathroom.
You will need:
- 4 Tablespoons Epsom Salts
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3/4 cup Grapefruit Juice- fresh squeezed is best
- a cheap strainer (from Dollar Tree) with small holes - when you start eliminating, you'll be shocked at what comes out - and liver stones can be different colors
On the morning of the day you'll be doing your cleanse, combine the water and Epson Salt into a pitcher/container and place in the refrigerator. Cold Espon Salt water is easier to drink than room temp.
Take no medicine or vitamins that you can do without. Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch. Don’t eat after 2:00 PM
2:00 PM - Mix 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts with 3 cups of water. This will make four ¾ cup servings. You can add some vitamin C improve the taste. Place this mixture in the refrigerator to get as cold as possible. This will make it easier to swallow.
6:00 PM - Drink one serving (¾ cup) of the cold Epsom salts.
8:00 PM - Drink one serving (¾ cup) of the cold Epsom salts.
9:45 PM - Pour ½ cup olive oil into a pint jar. Pour in the FRESH squeezed ¾ cup of grapefruit juice. Close the jar tightly and shake hard until the mixture is watery. Be sure you visit the rest room and have all the things you need to do done before this time. Timing is fairly important in the next several steps.
10:00 PM - Drink the mixture. These will help you sleep through the night. Try to get it down in 5 minutes. Don’t take more than 15 minutes to swallow the mixture.
Lie down right away after finishing the mixture. Lay on your RIGHT side. This will make it so the liver is cleansed as much as possible. Keep as still as possible for as long as possible. Try to fall asleep.
After 6:00 AM - Take the 3rd dose of Epsom salts. If you don’t feel well when you wake up, don’t take the Epsom salts until you feel better.
2 Hours Later - Take the last dose of Epsom salts.
Wait 2 more hours before eating anything. Start with light food such as fruit or juice. You can eat regular food 2 hours after this. In other words, if you wake up at 6:00 am, don’t eat regular food until 12:00 noon.
You may have diarrhea the next morning. This is a normal side effect of the liver cleanse. This is when you want to use the strainer. You may see gallstones in your stool. There are typically two types of stones that you may see:
- Cholesterol gallstones: This is the most common type and develops when your liver produces more cholesterol than your bile can dissolve. Over time, the excess cholesterol may form into crystals and sludge, and later into stones.
- Pigment gallstones: These dark brown or black stones form when your body has too much bilirubin (a chemical that's produced when your body breaks down red blood cells). Conditions that are associated with excess bilirubin include liver cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and certain blood disorders.
With a really bad liver you will need to perform the liver cleanse a number of times.
