What Is A Liver Gallbladder Flush – How Can It Help You?

We don’t usually think about our gallbladders and you may be surprised to know that your gallbladder needs some attention to be healthy.

Doing a gallbladder flush is simple, and it is an important step to detoxification. It helps keep your liver and your gallbladder free of toxins that can become “stones”. This isn’t something that you have to do frequently, in fact once-in-a-lifetime may be enough.

What Happens When Stones Form In The Gallbladder?

An alarming number of people these days end up having their gallbladders removed. This is an extremely radical action to take; even though, doctors tell you it’s quite normal.

The fact of the matter is, we do not have extra organs and removing anything is not generally advisable. Just because we don’t understand the purpose of something doesn’t mean it has no purpose.

t’s far better to develop good habits that keep all of our organs working properly that it is just to toss aside the ones we deem unnecessary.

The gallbladder does, indeed, have a purpose. It is vital for the digestion of fats, and it increases bile production. Even if you are avoiding excess fat in your diet, you still should include some healthy fats.

This being the case, you need your gallbladder to help your body digest fats and break them down correctly. That’s why if your doctor tells you need to have your gallbladder removed, you should seek a natural alternative.

An effective gallbladder flush is a very desirable (and affordable) alternative to surgery.

How Can You Tell If You’re Having Problems With Your Gallbladder?

When your gallbladder flares up, you will feel pain in your right side right after eating. It is usually near the upper area of your stomach. The pain will be especially marked if you consume fat.

The cause of pain is stones that accumulate in the gallbladder and also in the liver. Even if your gallbladder has been removed, you may feel pain due to a stone build up in the liver.

Luckily, doing an effective gallbladder/liver flush and detox can take care of this problem.

You may be amazed to learn that sometimes people expel huge numbers of gallstones during a gallbladder flush. In fact, 200 stones is not an unusual number.

One grand side-effect of doing a gallbladder flush is that you might lose quite a bit of weight in the process. Some people lose as much as 10 pounds!

How Do You Perform A Gallbladder Flush?

All-in-all, a gallbladder flush takes about a week. It begins with apples. For a period of 1 to 3 days, you should eat apples and drink apple juice to the exclusion of all other foods and beverages.

Doing this will help your gallstones become softer. After two or three days, you can add raw vegetables to your diet; however, you should continue eating apples and drinking apple juice for several more days.

Prepare yourself for your gallbladder flush. On the first day of the actual flush, you will do an apple juice fast all day long. At bedtime, drink 4 ounces of extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Other types of olive oil will do, but EVOO of is the most healthful type of olive oil there is. It contains the most nutrition, the most healing properties and it is completely non-carcinogenic because it is prepared using a cold pressing method.

After you drink the olive oil, drink a full cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. If you can’t tolerate the lemon juice, grapefruit juice will do. Be sure to rinse your mouth completely after drinking the lemon or grapefruit juice and then brush your teeth.

There’s no sense in sacrificing the enamel of your teeth for the wellness of your gallbladder!

What Is A Gallbladder Flush Like?

A gallbladder flush is a rather unpleasant experience, and you should be aware of the fact that you will need to set aside a couple of days to complete the process.

When the olive oil and lemon or grapefruit juice hit your gallbladder, the stones will begin to move and you will pass them through your system. It isn’t fun, but it’s also not impossible and the benefits far outweigh the discomfort.

Once you have downed your EVOO and lemon juice or grapefruit juice, you should go to bed pretty quickly. Lie on your right side and draw your knees up to your chest in the fatal position. Sleep on your right side all night, and get a full night’s sleep.

Over the next couple of days your body will be flushing out gallstones (or liver stones if you have had your gallbladder removed). You will be spending quite a bit of time in the bathroom, and you won’t want to see people or plan activities.

It’s smart to plan well in advance for quiet, relaxing activities that you can do on your own for these two days.

Catch up on your reading; enjoy a relaxing bath and some home spa treatments; listen to music and watch some great movies! Throughout these two days, continue with your apple juice, apples and veggies diet.

Are The Results Really Worth All Of This Effort?

Many people whose doctors have told them that they need gallbladder surgery have tried this gallbladder flush and gotten a different diagnosis afterwards.

Flushing out gallstones can radically transform your health. That’s why this is such an excellent process for anyone to go through at least once in a lifetime.

Gallstones are made up of toxins that have been culled from the foods you eat. They place a burden on your gallbladder, and they can become quite large! Getting rid of them instead of getting rid of your gallbladder is the right thing to do!

 How Can You Prevent Getting Gallstones?

Once you gone through a gallbladder cleanse, you’ll want to take good care of your gallbladder to avoid the development of more stones.

Luckily, there are some supplements that are easy to take that will help prevent the development of gallstones and also assist with problematic digestion. These are especially helpful and necessary if you have had your gallbladder removed.

Digestive enzymes are very important. They help break down foods properly and keep your gastrointestinal system strong. As we have discussed elsewhere, having a healthy G.I. tract is the basis of great overall health.

When purchasing digestive enzymes, look for a high concentration of lipase. This is the enzyme that is most active in digesting fat. You should take about 5000 units of lipase daily to support good digestion.

You can just take lipase alone, or you can purchase a digestive enzyme combination supplement. Be sure to follow package instructions. Generally speaking, it’s best to take your digestive enzymes when you eat a meal.

Another product called ox bile is very good for digestion. You can purchase this at your local health food store or online. This is actual ox bile, and as squeamish as the thought of taking it may make you feel, the fact is it will help you break down and digest fats properly.

That is the function of bile. If you are vegan, you may ideologically wish to avoid this product; however, if you’ve had your gall bladder removed, it is absolutely essential. There is no vegan substitute.

A Healthy Whole Foods Diet Keeps Your Gallbladder Healthy

In addition to supplementing with digestive enzymes and ox bile, you should also continue to eat a natural, whole foods diet that is made up of mostly fresh fruits and veggies, high quality organic choices in proteins and lots of natural fibre.

Get the right amount of healthy, non-hydrogenated oils in your diet. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water to stay well hydrated and keep your system detoxified.
