Category: Cleansing & Flushing

Over the years I’ve tweaked the way I do my liver flush.  Since starting my current reducing program I’ve been doing a lot of “ELF-ing”(Emergency Liver Flushing).  Anything to keep the pounds moving in the right direction.  I know myself and I’ll not dirty my juicer for an ounce of ginger root juice.  Several years ago I discovered that the Digestive Tonic mixed with equal parts of our LP formula will do a better job at settling the stomach than Ginger juice alone.  When doing an ELF, or any Liver Flush, the two teaspoons of LP and Digestive tonic mix is what I use to prevent nausea from consuming all that oil.

Normally I’ll decide sometime in the afternoon that today is a day to do an “ELF”.  Around 6pm I’ll combine 2 tsp of Digestive tonic and 2 tsp LP formula in a couple swallows of water.  At the same time I set up my shaker glass holding 8 oz extra virgin olive oil and 8 oz citrus juice.  Not wanting to consume extra carbs I use seven ounces of water with an ounce of lemon juice as my citrus juice with the oil.  Grapefruit juice is the best way to get the oil down.  It is what we use for our guests who come to stay overnight and do an ELF.

What needs to be in place before attempting to do a Liver Flush is:

• The Bowels must be working well
• Stop eating solid food around 2pm so the stomach is clear before you drink all that oil.
• Continue to normally drink water or juice up to about a half hour before consuming the flush.
• If needed do a prune juice flush in the morning to ensure the bowels are open.

Doing an ELF two nights in a row is a powerful tool for clearing waste from the liver.  Adding a third night is even better.  Every 8 weeks or so the “Amazing Liver Flush” done the first night followed by a night or two of ELF’s is a huge healing, cleansing tool.  The Amazing Liver Flush is done with the Epsom Salt which is harsh but very effective.  This Liver Flush CANNOT be repeated for a second night.  Waiting 8 weeks before repeating this flush is necessary.  The ELF can be repeated for up to five nights in a row.

Liver Flushing not only clears my liver but has a calming effect on my system.  The agitation accompanying my food program along with any food cravings will ease or clear.  Liver Flushing equates to pressing the restart button in my system.  Flushing calms all the internal jumble, dumps the trash and clears me for another week of work.

Three Types of Liver Flushing

One of the most powerful healing tools at our disposal is the Liver Flush.  There are three ways to flush the liver.

1) Five Day Week of Liver Flushing and detoxing; this type of flush work is made stronger by following a juice fasting food program for the five days.

2) The ELF (Emergency Liver Flush); this flush is accomplished in one night and can be repeated for up to five nights in a row.

3) The Amazing Liver Flush, this flush can only be done once a month at most and one opinion I read said it should only be done once every two or three months.  This flush is done with Epsom salt to aid in flushing the bowels.  IT can be harsh but at the same time it is very effective.

Three Reasons to Flush the Liver

1) The healing or cleansing programs that were working well stop working or begin to make you feel bad.  This is often caused because the vacuum cleaning of the body, the Liver, is full and needs to be flushed out.  The internal vacuum cleaner bags needs to be changed.  Often a day or two of flushing the liver will set everything back right again.

2) Body breaks out in a rash, blisters, actually any serious breakdown or breakout of the skin can be cleared quickly with a few days of liver flushing.   When the liver is backed up and unable to process waste out through the normal channels it will eliminate the toxic waste through the skin.  The skin being a sensitive organ cannot take this type of toxic waste and will break down or breakout very quickly.

3) As an aid to help clear chronic pain from old injuries or arthritic joints from the body.  Again we go back to the fact that the liver is the vacuum for the body.  Chronic pain occurs because of blockage, the good stuff can’t get in and the waste can’t get out.  The lack of circulation of body fluids allows a buildup of waste in the affected area of the body which contributes to pain in the body.  Clear the blockage and you will clear the pain.  I’ve personally used liver flushing to deal with the pain in my bad knee.  IT works every time.  IT is not magic but a healing that is allowed to happen over time.  The liver flushing speeds it all along allowing better movement, better use of the body part.

One of our members has asked if I could talk a bit more on this subject.

Dr. Christopher Discusses “The Coffee Enema”

One of the most harmful methods of tripping the gall bladder reflex is the coffee enema.  It is used by so-called “holistic” practitioner without respect to its ill effects on the body.

Coffee contains a high amount of caffeine which can be habit-forming. Over the years, Dr. Christopher has treated patients who could not take food orally or intravenously.  There was once a baby who had to be fed rectally until his health improved.  Nutriments were actually absorbed through the rectum.  Likewise, with the toxic substances.  A young lady who was trying to stimulate her gall bladder into functioning properly, administered to herself at least one coffee enema a day for several months.  During this time she became addicted to caffeine and began to experience severe withdrawal symptoms once the enemas were stopped.  She would never think of taking even a sip of coffee, but here she was getting high doses of caffeine rectally!

There are safer ways to stimulate the gall bladder. One is by taking cayenne pepper orally.  This has been reported in medical journals to trip the gall bladder reflex and promote the flow of bile naturally.

Coffee enemas are used to trigger the gallbladder to dump; they do not flush the liver.   Nutrition taken in through the colon is absorbed straight into the blood stream.  All the blood from the stomach and small intestine flow directly to the liver where the substances picked up from the stomach is broken down and handled as needed.  Blood from the colon dose not route directly through the liver where harmful substances can be broken down or removed.

Years ago I heard the story of a man who decided to drink his whisky by enema into the rectum.  He died of alcohol poisoning after ingesting less than a fifth of whisky into his colon.   The effects of the caffeine are also intensified when absorbed through the colon.

The benefits gained do not out weight the negative effects of caffeine on the body.  A teaspoon of cayenne extract taken by mouth will produce the same effect without any harmful side effects.  I’ve also used a strong tea of Skullcap & Catnip as an enema to encourage liver dumps.  Both of these produce excellent release without robbing the body of vitality.

I recently purchased the entire Gerson Therapy program DVD Set as I was interested in doing the program.  After going through the material I discovered the program is not based as I thought on juicing and eating healthy foods.  They advocate some drug use along with the coffee enemas.  I was also surprised to hear her advice against the use of water.  She felt enough fluid was taken in through the juices and water was not needed.

A story shared on the DVD set to show the benefits of Coffee enemas convinced me how weak and worthless they actually are.  The testimony goes that a man suffering from an acute onset of eczema began using the coffee enemas starting with one a day resulting in twelve hours of symptom free skin.  So he escalated to two enemas a day and became symptom free as long as he continued to use the coffee enemas.  It took nearly six months for the condition to clear.

I have used the emergency Liver Flush (ELF) to completely clear an acute case of eczema in two days with only two flushes.  I have seen these results repeated over and over again with acute skin conditions of all kinds.  The coffee enema is unable to quickly clear an issue because it does not flush the liver, only stimulates the gallbladder to dump what it is holding.  From what I have seen and read the Gerson Therapy does not promote liver flushing aside from the coffee enemas.

As for Coffee enemas being the superior treatment for cancer I would have to strongly disagree.  While the caffeine robs the body of vitality needed for healing, the Coffee enemas do not create a flush for a real clearing of waste from the liver.

Why all the fuss over cleansing?  Because the simple truth is that you matter to a great many people.  While in my early twenties my responsibility toward those who cared for and relied on me was made clear when my husband’s family welcomed me into their hearts.  After a lifetime of living with indifference I received their acceptance a bit guardedly not sure if it would last or if I even liked it. My presence was desired not only at the dinner table but also all family gatherings.  I mattered to these people; if I felt unwell someone who cared would be reaching out with open hands wanting only to help.  In return all they asked was that I show up in my place.  The discovery that I mattered to these people grew into the realization that I wanted to be there for them.  The need to take care of myself not for my sake but for the sake of those who would feel the void of my absence took hold in my understanding. To not care for my own health is to prematurely remove my presence from the lives of those who need and care for me.

Day One

Today Tanner and I began our liver flush. We will be doing the incurables program until we don’t want to do it any longer. Tanner is working on a major health issue; I on the other hand am thrilled to have a cleansing partner.

We started our day with the day one liver flush drink followed by a large cup of the detox tea and the two shots of LG/AP & Detox drops. This was followed by our breakfast Superfood. Lunch was pretty much the mirror image of breakfast. We had our liver flush followed by another glass of Superfood. This evening we will change it up for dinner by doing an ELF.

How do I feel? Except for a mild head ache I feel great.

It is now 4pm and I’m in the middle of slowly drinking my carrot, beet, and cabbage juice. I’ve been sipping on a large glass of the juice for the past half hour and my headache has completely cleared. How amazing to see the power of nutrition at work. What a lift this glass of juice has been.

Tanner and I will keep you posted on our progress. We are doing a very aggressive program this month. I expect good things for both of us.

Day Two

My energy is up, my head feels clear, and it’s all good. On day two of our juice fasting liver flush we still agree it is a good idea. One day at a time is the only way to get through any fast. The promise I always make to myself is that if I really want to stop I can. I never force a fast upon myself or allow guilt to mar the good work I’ve done. I agree to continue until I don’t want to do it anymore.

The hum of the juicer began at 8 am shortly after Jessica arrived. She presented us with our first liver flush of the day about fifteen minutes later. Day two liver flush is double the garlic, ginger & Olive oil from day one.

Yesterday ended very well. Except for incessant runs to the washroom, the day was a huge success. Even the washroom pee breaks proved to be a bit of comic relief. Tanner and I would be doing our own thing but invariably appeared at the bathroom door at the same moment both needing to be there very badly. This morning Tanner shared with us that he began checking out the look on my face before committing to a bathroom run. Smart guy

Day Three

Day three of our juice fasting, liver flushing week and we are still going strong. We need to pick up more fruits and veggies for juicing. It is amazing how much produce is used when juice fasting. I feel great this morning, lots of energy. Last night we did an ELF for our last Liver Flush of the day. After we drank the flush we went downstairs to watch a movie while we laid on our right sides for the 45 minutes. One of our employees suggested “The Kings Speech” as something I’d like. She was right I thought it was an excellent movie.

Today our liver flush contains ½ cup olive oil, a lot of garlic and ginger root. Pretty strong stuff; this will get the liver moving very well, all the garbage is moving out. On that note I have noticed a need to increase the LBF #1′s. My bowels have slowed up a bit with all the liver dumps and heavy detoxing waste passing out. This is to be expected when doing a strong program. I think I’ll do a Prune Juice Flush Tomorrow. That should really clean me out. I’ll see if Tanner wants to do one too.

I’m sleeping much better even though I’m up several times during the night to empty my bladder. Yesterday I slowed down my drinking after 7pm and was only up one time during the night. Anyone who is juicing might want to consider drinking a bit less in the late afternoon and evening, if possible, when nighttime runs to the bathroom become excessive. If hunger or blood sugar is an issue, have an extra glass of Superfood before bed.

Day Four

Today we begin stepping down the strength of the flush, easing off the olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Tomorrow will be a walk in the park compared to Wednesday’s flush, only 2 tablespoons Olive oil, a couple pieces garlic and thumb size piece of ginger.

Wow, the drama has begun. Yesterday afternoon my hands went south. I began having a bit of discomfort in my fingers around lunch time, by late afternoon I had no strength in my left hand and the pain was all but unbearable. I felt washed out all over. Surprisingly, no headache, normally a detoxing crisis will bring on a real banger.

Deciding to use my own advice I took an extra ounce of Echinacea in the evening. Within a couple of hours the discomfort in my hands was clearing and this morning I feel great again. There is still a little stiffness in my right hand but no real pain. When detoxing remember to dose up the Echinacea when any part of you begins to deteriorate. As the toxins are processed out your immune system must be able to neutralize the waste or your will become symptomatic. (Begin feeling bad)

Tanner did all three liver flushes yesterday; he is feeling a bit off today. I decided to skip the dinner flush and just have my glass of Superfood. Wednesday’s flush is the biggest one of the week and does a huge amount of work in the body. That said, No one is benefited by over doing the good stuff, the body can only process so much waste at a time. Detoxing is a great way to clear any issue but it is important to do the work wisely. If you begin feeling toxic slow down the flushing and do an extra dose of Echinacea.

Day Five

The last day of any juice fast is always a good day. I feel really good this morning. No lasting effect from the detox crisis on Wednesday. Tanner and I are looking forward to a nice big green salad tomorrow. We are both completing a full week of liver flushing and juice fasting today. Starting Monday we will do a week of Kidney flushing. Tanner has opted to eat raw during his kidney flushing week.

I woke up this morning feeling so grateful to my husband for all the work and time he has put in on our new office space.  As I have traveled through this life I have been blessed with two loving companions, my heavenly Father who has been with me every step of my journey, and my husband who fell in step beside me nearly 30 years ago. Of all women I have been truly blessed to have been cared for and loved so well.

Over the years many members have expressed a reluctance to do the liver flushing part of the cleansing programs. The common excuses have been:

• “I can’t get the oil down.”
• “I already feel so bad; I don’t want to feel worse.”
• “I can’t afford to take off time from work if I get sick.”
• “Way too much work. There must be an easier way to get well.”

Everyone underestimates the power of the Liver Cleanse. Failure to do all the cleansing programs rigorously and repeatedly can cause you to NOT GET WELL. Members believe they are on the Incurables program, yet they are not regularly flushing their livers. They fail to understand how critical it is to repeatedly clear the waste from the liver.

We would all like to be handed some herbs in a bottle that will reverse, in a day or a weekend, all the damage, heal our diseases, and fix 30 years of unconscious living. There is no magic herb.

There are three methods to use when cleansing the liver.  They are the “Mild Liver Flush”;  The “ELF” or Strong Liver Flush; and the Liver Flushing  Teas and Tinctures.  When clearing any conditions in the body no matter how mild or serious the best restorative action will be derived from using a combination of all three.

1) The Mild Liver Flush

This flush is done for one week to be followed by a week of Kidney Flushing.  These two weeks of cleansing work are to be repeated over and again until the issues have been cleared from the system.  This procedure will enable the liver to slowly clear toxic waste from the system.

Not all have the luxury of the time needed to gently cleanse disease from the body.

There are those with serious life threating conditions that have chosen to continue to daily flush the liver over several weeks with only very good results.  My belief has always been that each of us will be lead to follow our own road; our healing journeys are our own.  The only one who can truly walk the entire road with me is the one who knows me best and loves me most.  Spending time each day with the Father has enabled me to better follow where he would lead.  Using good common sense along with the inner wisdom that comes from above will enable even those in the direst of circumstances the best outcome.

The Mild Liver Flush is to be done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.  Use 8 oz of either Orange or Apple juice.  Combine with 8 oz of distilled water, 1 clove of freshly peeled garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a chunk of ginger about the size of your thumb.  Add all items into the blender liquefy and drink. Follow with a couple ounces of fresh juice to rinse the mouth.

Each day increase the Olive Oil and garlic until you are using 4 tablespoons olive oil and 4 large cloves of garlic.  Increase the ginger as needed to prevent nausea.

Fifteen minutes after consuming the liver flush drink cleanse your system by drinking two cups Detox Tea along with ½ tsp each LP Formula and Detox formula.  Combining the ½ tsp dose with a shot of the detox tea will better enable one to get these two horrid tasting formulas down.  Do not combine the formulas into one shot cup.  They are best taken separately at least five minutes apart.

2)Full Strength Liver Flush

This flush, we call it an ELF, short for Emergency Liver Flush, should be done once or twice a week if you are ill.  In serious cases it may be done 3 to 5 days in a row.  On the days this flush is not done do the mild liver flush.  Click here for detailed directions

3)Liver Flush Support in a Tincture

The Third method for flushing the liver is the use of the herbal support known as the LP (Liver Parasite) Formula.  When Liver flushing the LP Formula should be used ½ tsp three times a day.  For serious issues the dose can be doubled and taken every 3 hours or 5 times a day.

Formula: Milk Thistle seed, Dandelion root , Oregon Grape root, Gentian root , Wormwood leaf , Mojave Chaparral herb , Black Walnut Leaf , Ginger rhizome , Garlic bulb and Fennel seed ,extracted in grain alcohol .

Therapeutic Action:  The herbs in this formula are famous for their ability to stimulate, cleanse and protect the liver and gall bladder and rid the body of parasites.

Milk Thistle has certain chemicals not only bind to and coat liver cells. These phyto-chemicals not only heal previous liver damage but also protect the liver from future damage. Oregon Grape Root Bark, Gentian Root, Wormwood Leaves and Dandelion Root are all classic bitter liver tonic herbs. These herbs not only stimulate digestion but also stimulate the liver to excrete more bile which in turn cleans both the liver and gall bladder. If you have been exposed to any toxic substances, had constipation, eaten large amounts of animal food or drink alcohol or other harmful beverages this formula is for you. It is also beneficial if you have had high cholesterol, blood fats or any family history of liver or gall bladder problems. Many believe that anyone who has cancer or any immune dysfunction had a weak congested liver to begin with. Even if a person has had their gall bladder removed these herbs will still be effective to clean the liver and bile ducts. The Black Walnut hulls, Wormwood and Garlic are strong ANTI-PARASITICAL plants. Use if parasites are suspected, or if there has been a history of bowel problems, constipation, eating of animal products, prolonged illness, disease or degeneration.
