Gallbladder
-----------
The Gallbladder Flush (aka Liver & Gallbladder Flush) is a
powerful cleansing technique used to remove toxic substances
from the liver and gallbladder. I found it very helpful in
removing quite a few large asymptomatic gallstones as well
as giving me an *enormous* improvement in my ability to digest
fats.

This cleanse should only be performed by persons with
experience with other clenases. Otherwise, it should be
supervised by a healthcare practitioner who has experience
with cleansing techniques (e.g., Naturopath, Colon
Therapist). The cleanse should not be performed by pregnant
women, persons who have had their gallbladder removed (of
course). Persons with symptomatic gallstones or blockages
of the bile duct can perform this cleanse only under the
careful observation of a healthcare practitioner who has
supervised Gallbladder Flushes.

i. Herbs For Gallbladder
---------------------

1. Stone Free
----------
You can purchase this formula (made by Planetary
Herbal Formulas) from your local natural food store
or call Planetary Herbal Formulas 800-606-6226 for
the nearest distributor. It contains Tumeric root,
an herb that is well know for promoting healing of
the liver and gallbladder as well as significantly
increasing bile flow, Gravel root, Parsley root,
Marshmallow root, Licorice, Dandelion root, Ginger
root.

The formula, by itself, will provide gentle cleansing
and healing for the gallbladder. This is the same
formula that can be used for urinary/kidney stones.


ii. Gallbladdar Flush
-----------------
The Gallbladder Flush instructions below represent the
way it should *ideally* be performed. There are several
other programs available for removing gallstones, using
Classic Coke (aka -- sugar, caffeine, additives, and
flavoring), for example, but I recommend the move natural,
safe, albeit slightly more involved way detailed below.

1. For one week, drink _alot_ of organic apple juice. If
it is possible, juice it yourself so it is fresh. This
will help to soften the gallstones.

2. During the week, eat no meat (or very little if
necessary), sugar, dairy, and coffee. Try to
limit the wheat products if possible. It is preferable
to eat a diet of whole grains, lots of vegetables, fruits,
legumes, and sea vegetables.

3. Three hours after lunch on the 7th day, take a *very*
powerful, *natural* laxative. It is important to have the
bowels moving when the toxins and stones get dumped into
the intestines. I prefer the product called "Atomic
Chompter" which contains Cascara Sagrada, Licorice, Senna,
Fennel, Aloe, Lobelia, and Camomile. It is available from
Arise & Shine (602/293-0891).

4. One or two hours later, drink a cup or two of organic
prune juice.

5. Just before dinner, take a very thorough enema (~6 bags of
spring water total) or a colonic. You can obtain a colonic
from an experienced Colon Therapist. (See GI Tract
Cleansing above for more information on finding a Colon
Therapist.) It is important to totally clear the large
intestines for the dumping of the gallstones.

6. Dinner should consist of only freshly squeezed orange or
lemon juice (organic if strongly preferred, of course).

7. One hour before bed take a mixture of 8 oz. of olive oil
and 4-8 oz. of fresh squeezed lemon juice. Be careful
not to use more than 8 ounces of olive oil. Purchase
fresh, quality olive oil from your local natural food
store for this procedure -- do not use old, rancid olive
oil.

8. Lie down in bed on your right side, with your knees pulled
up to your chest for one hour. Then try to go to
that way if possible.

9. During the night and the next morning, you may feel
some nausea due to the oil and toxins being dumped into
the colon.

10. The next morning, take another dose of the very powerful,
natural laxative (i.e., Atomic Chomper). Drink at least
1.5 cups.

11. One half hour later, drink up to one quart of prune juice.

You should have a bowel movement sometime that day where you
will get out gallstones covered in saponified oil and possibly
mucous and fat dumped from the liver. You may feel somewhat
nauseous during the day.

12. A colonic or thorough enema is recommended the next day -- it
is not required.

13. Take high quality probiotics capsules during the
next week to help recolonize the intestinal bacteria.
Please see the "Probiotics" section in the "Food &
Nutrition" chapter for more information on
choosing a high quality probiotics suppliment.


Rebuilding & Strengthening
--------------------------
1. Use Stone Free formula for a few weeks after the cleanse.

2. Take a quality probiotics suppliment for at least
several weeks after this cleanse to repopulate the
intestinal tract. Please see the "Probiotics" section
in the "Food & Nutrition" chapter for more
information on choosing a high quality probiotics
suppliment.
