Gall Bladder Flushes and Cleanses
How Your Gall Bladder Works


The gall bladder is a hollow inactive organ supplying bile to the
digestive tract that is mainly used to emulsify fats and oils.
According to some natural health experts who believe in gall bladder
flushes, the gall bladder can be damaged by
· Excessive amounts of fat and oil;
· Large amounts of spice;
· Very cold liquids;
· Cold dairy products
· Drafts
· Planning and thinking ahead all the time
· Stress.
These same writers say the gall bladder can be protected by:
· Pickles
· Good quality vinegar.
According to these writers, gall bladder problems (thus suggesting
the need for a gall bladder flush) are often found in people who are
· Constantly planning
· Hypersensitive to drafts
· Hypersensitive to noises
· Hypersensitive to strong smells.
When the liver is constantly stagnant, sediment often settles out of
the bile and forms accumulations that resemble stones, sand or mud in
the gall bladder.

Symptoms of sediment in the gall bladder:
· Indigestion
· Flatulence
· Periodic pain below the right side of the rib cage
· Tension in the back of the shoulder near the neck
· Bitter taste in the mouth
· Chest pain.
How To Do the Gall Bladder Flush
This is a one-day purge to flush the gall bladder of sediment and
stones. Beginning in the morning, eat only organic apples, at least
five throughout the day. Green apples help soften the stones more
than red. Drink pure water and herbal teas. At bedtime, warm up 2/3
cup of olive oil to body temperature and mix in 1/3 cup of fresh
lemon juice. Slowly sip the entire mixture, and then immediately go
to bed. Lie on your right side with your right leg drawn up. In the
morning, all gallstones should pass in the stool.

This flush should be done only with the guidance of an experienced
health practitioner.

5-Day Gall Bladder Flush
This is a milder, slightly less effective variation of the one-day
flush. Consume apples and radishes for five days. For five
consecutive days, take two tablespoons of olive oil and two
tablespoons of lemon juice on an empty stomach one time a day.

Gradual Gall Bladder Cleanse
This cleanse takes 21 days and is slower and gentler on the body.
This is the one often recommended for those unsure of how much
sediment or stones they may have. Cleansing two or three times a year
ensures a healthy gall bladder.

During the cleanse, avoid all foods high in fat, meats, dairy, eggs.
Eat unrefined grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes to help clear
the gallbladder.

These foods hasten gallstone removal:
· Pears
· Parsnips
· Seaweed
· Lemons
· Limes
· Turmeric
Radish also remove stones, so, for the entire 21 days eat 1-2
radishes a day between meals and drink three cups of cleavers tea or
five cups of chamomile tea a day.

For every 160 pounds of body weight use five teaspoons of
cold-pressed flax seed oil. Pour the flax oil over your food during
one meal of the day or divide into half and use on two meals. Take
the flax oil six days a week for two months.

When the liver has been stagnant for a long time, sediments form in
the gall bladder, according to some natural health writers, and
that's the time to do a home gall bladder flush.

Get it removed by laparoscopy.
Very simple, minimal pain, and if your gall bladder is acting like that you can believe that life will be easier without it.
