Probably nothing else you do (including even the colon detox) will make a greater difference in your overall health than the liver detox and gallbladder/blood cleanse
By cleansing the liver, we’re talking about inducing the liver to purge all of the fats, old cholesterol deposits, gallstones, poisons, drug residues, and toxic waste stored therein. Probably nothing else you do (including even the colon detox) will make a greater difference in your overall health. The liver is so important to our well-being that many healers maintain that most diseases cannot develop in the body (that, in fact, no form of cell degeneration can occur) if the liver is functioning in an efficient, healthy manner. Conversely, an unhealthy liver is very likely at the root of most serious health problems.
To learn more about the health benefits of a liver detox, see our main detox program, our click here to find out why you should do a liver detox.
Note: It is vital that you do a colon detox before doing the liver detox. When the liver dumps, it dumps through the bile duct and out into the colon. If the colon (the drain pipe if you will) is plugged, the waste backs up into the blood stream and can make you feel extremely ill. This is the reason that the “Miracle Doctors” always start with the colon detox. It’s the prerequisite for all the other cleanses in the body — and, of course, can also produce dramatic healings in its own right.
The 5-Day Liver Detox
This is the Liver/Gallbladder flush recommended by Dr. Richard Schulze — and is the one most people should opt for. It is done in the morning on an empty stomach for 5 days.
First thing on rising, drink 8 oz of pure water to flush your digestive tract.
An hour later, in a blender, mix up 8 oz of any fresh squeezed citrus juice (fresh squeezed apple juice or grape juice with all the sediment will work too), one lemon, 1 clove of garlic (increase by 1 clove each day), 1 tbs. of olive oil (increase by 1 tbs each day), and a piece of ginger (about 1″ long) along with 8 oz of pure water
Drink it down and follow with a fresh juice chaser to clear your mouth.
Fifteen minutes after consuming this drink, follow with 2 cups of the liver/detox tea. It is also important to take 2 droppersful of the liver/detox tincture 3-6 times a day while on the 5-day cleanse — and continuing after until the bottle is gone.
The Liver Detox Diet
It is extremely beneficial to incorporate a 2-day raw food and 3-day juice-fast into your 5-day liver cleanse. However, for those who can make it, a five day juice fast is the best. Below are the directions, and you may want to follow along with our new downloadable detox diet chart in PDF format.
Liver Detox Day 1
During the morning (after your cleansing drink and stopping one hour before lunch), eat all the live FRESH fruit or vegetable juice you want. Beet juice is especially good. Do not mix your fruit and vegetable juices together, and feel free to dilute your juices.
For lunch you can have more diluted juice, or a raw vegetable or sprout salad. Absolutely do not use bottled dressing. Make your own dressing from fresh olive oil and lemon or apple cider vinegar and any fresh herbs and spices you of your choice. If you are hungry thoughout the day, feel free to snack on fresh vegetables or juices.
For dinner eat fresh fruit or fruit juice or fruit smoothes.
Liver Detox Days 2-4
After your morning flush, drink diluted juices and herbal tea throughout the day — as much as you can drink. Try to consume 128 oz during the day.
Also recommended throughout the day is to consume cups of potassium broth. Potassium broth takes advantage of the fact that the outside of a potato is one of the highest plant sources of potassium. Take the peelings (1/4″ to 1/2″ including the skin) of several potatoes. Do NOT use the inside. Add other well chopped vegetables to taste including carrots (with skin), celery , whole beets (including greens), fresh parsley, and lots of onion and garlic (up to 50 cloves).
Simmer for 40-60 minutes in a covered pot using clean filtered water. Strain out the vegetables, cool and drink the broth. Refrigerate leftover broth in glass containers in the refrigerator for use over the next two days.
Liver Detox Day 5
Same as Day 1
An Alternative Liver Detox (30 Day Cleanse)
For those who don’t want to do the full liver flush, there is a slow and easy version that will give you 70 to 80 percent of the benefit without the difficulty. As part of your daily diet, just eat one cup of raw, freshly grated beets mixed with olive oil and lemon juice for thirty days straight. Daily use of a liver detox tea is also required. Using one bottle of liver tincture is recommended.
What Can You Expect From The Detox
If you are so inclined (and you should be) you should examine what you deposit in the toilet. Look for “stones.” The bile from the liver gives some stones their pea green color. But also look for black stones and red ones and brown one. And look for stones with blood inside them. (Note: Oftentimes, the olive oilis converted into little “soap beads” in the intestinal tract, and many people confuse these little beads with actual stones.) If you do not notice anything, it does not mean it is still not working.
During the course of a cleanse, it’s not uncommon to pass some 2,000 of these stones. Be glad. The more you pass, the healthier you become. You may also find untold numbers of tiny white cholesterol “crystals” mixed in with the waste.
The Liver Detox Tea & Tincture
The use of an herbal tea and tincture along with the flush is essential.
The Detox Tea
The tea helps with the flushing process itself, but also helps minimize any discomfort or nausea. The key herb in the tea is dandelion root, one of the strongest herbal lipotropics known. That is to say, it flushes fat deposits from the liver. Other herbs that you will find in a good detox tea include things like: ginger, clove, cinnamon, burdock root, and horsetail.
Incidentally, some of the other herbs used in a good liver/detox tea (such as uva ursi, parsley root, and juniper berries) are also extremely beneficial to the kidneys.
Two cups of the tea should be consumed fifteen minutes after drinking your citrus and olive flush. But several cups can and should be consumed throughout the day. In fact, consuming the liver/detox tea as a regular part of your diet is a pleasant and tasty way to continually optimize your health. (Feel free to sweeten the tea with honey or real maple syrup as desired.)
The Liver Detox Tincture
The tincture is crucial in that it contains herbs that help the liver to rebuild and regenerate itself. A secondary benefit is that it will significantly reduce the liver’s release of LDL cholesterol. The key herbs include milk thistle, dandelion root, the perennial herb picrorhiza kurroa (sometimes called kutkin, or “Indian milk thistle), and artichoke or beet leaf.
The liver/detox tincture is also a good place to include the antiparasitic herbs such as wormwood and black walnut. Along with the garlic that you are taking with the liver flush, this will drive virtually any parasite from your body.
Take 2 droppersful 3-6 times a day (depending on your level of illness and your level of discomfort) until the entire bottle is gone.
Cleansing Your Blood
There are actually several ways to cleanse your blood. One of the most effective is to take digestive enzymes between meals or before bed. Within a matter of minutes the enzymes enter the bloodstream and begin cleaning the detritus out of the blood and stimulating the immune cells to consume Circulating Immune Complexes in the blood. This can make a significant improvement in your overall health.
But what we’re talking about here is something different. We’re talking about using herbal blood cleansers to remove toxic residues from the blood so that it is inimical to cancer and tumors. The great blood cleansing herbs are: red clover, burdock root, chaparral, poke root, and sheep sorrel. These are the herbs you will find in the famous blood cleansing formulas such as the Hoxey formula, the Essiac formula, and the Dr. Christopher and Dr. Schulze formulas. These herbs can literally “drive” tumors out of the body.
The best way to take this type of formula is as an herbal tincture, which concentrates the herbs up to 30 times. Take 4-12 droppersful a day (depending on need) in juice. Take rest days as needed, but finish the entire bottle. Repeat as often as needed.

If you’re actually looking for just a blood cleanse, that’s not as difficult when done by itself, and you can find information for that at http://www.jonbarron.org/detox/program-barron-report-blood-cleansing. It is just a daily tincture.

I have done a version of liver flushing on and off for over 10 yrs. After caring for my mom and not being able to do as much of the flushing for a 4 yr period, I was having the beginnings of what I thought was pancreatic pain and my labs showed an increase of p. enzymes so I elected to have gb surgery since function had deteriorated to 7% down from 14% when Ii began flushing. Two years ago, raised P. E. and in the past 6 months symptoms like those before my surgery appeared so I researched and started doing flushing again. I just had a possible acute pancreatitis attack after the last flush when I resumed eating. I am wondering if the mild version of flushing you mentioned above would work for me. I know you cannot advise but is there a caution you are aware of?

Fungal meningitis tends to
Fungal meningitis tends to infect people with weakened immune systems and people who are taking steroids. Getting injected with contaminated steroids just ups the odds. You can’t actually “detox” pathogens out of your body. Detoxing doesn’t work like that when it comes to pathogens. But you can boost your immune system to help your body resist them, and you can take natural anti-pathogens to directly destroy them.

Hi there!
Hi there!
Dont be sad. My son had facial acne which seemed to be getting worse. It all went way when he started to cleanse with pure raw honey! It worked. Simply wash face with raw honey as it was soap. Make sure to rinse well with water then pat dry. You can use raw honey to wash your face even if you dont have acne. It leaves skin smooth. Enjoy!

I am concerned about Phase II
I am concerned about Phase II detoxification. It seems Dr. Schulze’s Liver Detox does not have what is needed to support Phase II detoxification. Do you think it does? If so, what is in his supplements that would indeed support Phase II? (I did his 5 day bowel cleanse and was very sick from it and I have yet to recover from it in spite of doing it exactly the way he says. I’ve been told years ago I have trouble with Phase II detox in the liver. I really think I need to detox the liver, but I am cautious about Dr. Schultze’s liver detox because I don’t see the important nutrients to support it like L-glutamine, L-cystein, NAC, etc.)
As a rule, we do not comment

Is it possible by doing a liver and blood detox your eye colour can change. I went to an iradologist and was told my natural eye colour is blue wheny whole life they have been brown.??? I was told tk do his detox. Would it be recommended to do a separate colon cleanse for say a month and thereafter start a blood and liver detox?. Please help
Many babies are born with
Many babies are born with blue eyes that tend to be darker by the time they are 3 years old. Dramatic changes in color in adults, however, could be a warning sign of disease, so it is important to see an eye doctor if this occurs. But if your eyes have been brown since you were three, that’s unlikely to be the problem. You might want clarification from your iridologist. That said, it is very unlikely that detoxing will turn your eyes from brown to blue. However, detoxing can change the clarity of your eye color and change the character of any cholesterol rings you have around the edge of your iris.
And yes, if you’ve never detoxed before, you ALWAYS want to do an intestinal cleanse and a kidney flush before doing a liver/gallbladder cleanse. Doing the intestinal detox clears the channels for the purging of bile through the bile duct and into the colon. And doing a kidney flush softens any existing gallstones for easier removal.

There are indeed a number of
There are indeed a number of blood cleansing machines. This one, for instance was developed by the medical community for cleaning viruses and bacteria out of the blood.http://healthmad.com/conditions-and-diseases/scientists-develop-a-blood-cleansing-machine/. And this one was developed years ago within the alternative health community for doing the same thing but with UV light rather than filters—and may have some applicability for cancer.http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/uv_light/uv_light3.htm. But to know which one in particular your “resource” was referring to, you will have to ask them.

Hello, would it be ok to do
Hello, would it be ok to do the liver detox, the blood detox, and the kidney detox (the whole program pretty much) if I don’t really have any symptoms and the blood work doesn’t show I have any liver problems? I hardly ever drink, never smoked, generally lead a good lifestyle, although I do enjoy bacon and cooking in bacon fat )))) could I do the 5 day detox without damaging something I don’t believe is broken? I simply want to flush out my system to improve my well-being, and be proactive in prevention of anything occurring. Any advise I’d appreciate. Thank you )))
The detoxes are actually
The detoxes are actually designed for prevention. You should read Jon Barron’s book, “Lessons From The Miracle Doctors” that explains the Baseline of Health Program and how to stay healthy in today’s toxic environment. You simply can not avoid toxins.

Jon has suggested: “if
Jon has suggested: “if seriously ill, consult a physician before doing any detox. If familiar with detoxing, some physicians may recommend doing the complete series of detoxes immediately — back to back. Then, take one week off and repeat, and repeat again as long as they feel it is necessary.” The complete series of detoxes is emphasized to make sure you do the colon detox & kidney detox before doing a liver detox.

If my colon is fairly clean

liver cleanse before the colon detox?
If you are having regular
If you are having regular bowel movements as the result of probiotic supplementation, that moves you in the right direction. However, probiotics alone do not guarantee that you have drawn waste out of any bowel pockets you might have or that you have pulled toxins out of the endothelial tissue lining your intestinal tract. So, the answer to your question is that you could “probably” get by without a colon detox—but you are likely to do a whole lot better if you actually do a formal intestinal detox before the liver detox.
