All you need to know about the Liver Cleanse

Why liver cleanse? “Fatty Liver” affects more than 50% of people over the age of 50 (healingdaily.com). Poor diet, excessive alcohol intake, viral hepatitis and reactions to toxic chemicals are a few of the causes. Tina Drucker, decided to test the cleanse. Stay tuned for her updates this week…

How to cleanse your liver:

1)??? Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day.

2)??? Don’t take medicines, vitamins, or pills that you can do without (they can prevent success).

3)??? Eat a low-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal with fruit, fruit juice, bread, baked potato or other vegetables with salt only.? This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver.? Higher pressure pushes our more stones.

4)??? 2:00 PM – Do not eat or drink after 2:00.? If you break the rule you could feel quite ill later.? You may add 1/8 teaspoon vitamin C powder to the Epsom salt mixtures below to improve the taste.? Don’t deviate from the schedule below by more than 10 minutes.

5)??? Every hour, starting at 5:00 PM (i.e. 5:00, 6:00, 7:00, act.) until you have diarrhea – Drink ? cup cold water with 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt.?

6)??? 9:45 PM – Be ready for bed, make one last trip to the bathroom.? Combine ? to ? cup of freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice and ? olive oil in a jar.? Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this).

7)????10:00 PM – Drink grapefruit juice and olive oil mixture.? You may take 4-8 Ornithine with the first sip of the mixture to help you sleep.? Ornithine (L-Ornithine) can be found at a health food store.? Then lie down in your bed immediately.? The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out.? Lie down flat on your back with your head high on the pillow, perfectly still for at least 20 minutes.? Try to think about what is happening in the liver.? You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles.? There is no pain because the bile duct valves are open (thanks to the Epsom salt).? Go to sleep.? You may fail to get stones out if you don’t.

8)????After 6:00 AM the next morning – Drink ? cup cold water with 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt.? If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it is gone before drinking mixture.? You may go back to bed.

9)????2 hours later – Drink ? cup cold water with 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt.? You may go back to bed.

10)? 2 more hours later – Drink fruit juice.

11)? ? hour later – Eat fruit.

12)? 1 hour later – You may eat regular food but keep it light.? By supper you should feel recovered.

Expect diarrhea in the morning consisting of green pea looking balls (cholesterol) and tan looking chalk (crystals) floating in the toilet.? You may repeat cleanses in two week intervals.? Never cleanse when you are ill.? The author cleansed 5-6 times then once every 6 months for life.?? He recommends eliminating most meats, especially red meat, fast food and fried foods totally.?? But consuming more fruits, fruit juices and vegetable juicing.

Fatty Liver Disease - what you need to know


Fatty Liver disease is something my daughter was diagnosed with at the age of 11. In the 2 years since she has had the disease I have learned a lot. Unfortunately I have learned NOTHING from doctors. They do not understand this disease and they basically pat the patient on the head and tell them to lose weight and exercise and everything will? be ok. My daughter has tried and has not been successful and I now know that is because when your liver is not functioning correctly nothing internally is functioning right.


I am now driven to start a movement regarding this disease. Education of the general population is key. We think of sick livers being caused by alcohol or sharing dirty needles, we do not think of it associated to the ice cream cone we enjoyed at baskin robbins!


This disease has been diagnosed in children as young as 4, that is very scary, my 13 year old has a chronic illness and that is scary! These are CHILDREN, chronic illness is for the middle aged folks, the elderly even!! If its showing up in our kids our world is in serious trouble and we need to change things NOW!!


Feed your children organic foods, fresh fruits , fresh veggies, get your meat from a butcher , go back to basics please! No more convenience foods filled with chemicals…if you don’t understand what is on the side of the label why are you eating it!


I have approached the Canadian Liver Foundation about starting a sister foundation dedicated to Fatty Liver disease. I truly believe this will be as big as diabetes in the next 20 years and that a lot of us have it already without major symptoms. Once the major symptoms are showing up , you have damaged your liver and your goal is to prevent further deterioration! The next time you have a blood test ask to have your AST and ALT? levels checked, even if you are skinny on the outside you may be fat on the inside, so do not take it for granted that this is only a disease of the obese!


The sooner you find out about the condition of the liver , the easier it is to resolve with diet and exercise.


Hugs….and nope did not get that job from last week …but may have found my calling instead!


See my support group in facebook to understand this even further!
