Why Do a Liver & Gallbladder Flush?
This is a simple and effective way to help flush out toxins from an overburdened liver and gallbladder. While many versions of this cleanse exist, this protocol is designed to suit most people, regardless of toxicity level.
Why it matters:
Gallstones are formed when the body lacks organic sodium, often due to:
High-protein or acid-forming diets (meat, dairy, grains)
Emotional stress
Poor sodium intake (specifically from plant sources)
Organic sodium, found in fruits and vegetables, helps neutralize acid buildup in the body. This cleanse focuses on restoring balance using simple, natural ingredients.
Timing Your Cleanse
This is a 7-day protocol. Many people prefer to start on a Monday and end on Sunday, since the final flush (on Saturday night) requires more rest and recovery time.
Coordinate with Colon Hydrotherapy
For best results, schedule:
A colonic the day after the flush (Sunday)
And ideally, a colonic the day before or the same day as the flush (Saturday)
This helps eliminate released bile sludge and stones.
Days 1–6 (Monday–Saturday Lunch)
Drink apple juice or apple cider throughout the day. The more you drink, the softer the gallstones will become.
Best option: Freshly juiced organic apples
Next best: Organic, additive-free apple juice or cider from a health food store
Dietary guidelines:
Avoid meat, dairy, wheat, sugar, and ideally coffee
Emphasize fruits, vegetables, and plant-based meals
Saturday Lunch
Eat a light vegetarian meal or, ideally, drink fresh fruit or vegetable juice.
💡 It’s essential that your bowels are moving by Saturday afternoon. Use an enema or, preferably, schedule a colonic.
Saturday Dinner
Drink freshly squeezed citrus juice such as orange or lemon. That’s your dinner.
Saturday Night Liver & Gall Bladder Flush
Right before bed:
Mix 4 to 8 oz of extra-virgin olive oil with an equal amount of fresh lemon juice.
Use organic ingredients.
Blend or shake well in a jar.
Drink the mixture quickly—hold your nose if needed and gulp it down.
Expect possible mild nausea—it usually passes quickly. Focus on the benefits ahead.
Immediately lie on your right side with knees tucked up to your chest.
Stay in this position for 30–60 minutes, or try to fall asleep this way.
Sunday Morning
Begin the day with fresh fruit, fruit juice, or vegetable juice only.
Have a colonic scheduled to help eliminate bile and stones.
Do not eat anything heavy for the rest of the day—give your digestive system a break.

Acute or chronic liver congestion
