GALL BLADDER CLEANSE Need: ½-1 pint (285ml-570ml) cold- pressed high quality olive oil ½ pint fresh squeezed lemon juice (8-9 lemons) Rules: 1. Choose a weekend or two days when you do not have any social engagement or commitments (especially for the second day) 2. Do not eat anything after the midday meal on the first day. Eat a light fresh salad lunch (fruit or vegetable) and drink juices and herb teas. 3. Commence treatment about 7 p.m. 4. Take 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and immediately take 1 tablespoon of fresh undiluted, unsweetened lemon juice. 5. Repeat every 15 minutes until all oil is taken. If you need to take an extra tbsp. of lemon juice for any dose. This is all right. 6. Between each dose, lie down, with your head on a pillow lying on your right side, with your knees bent towards your chest. 7. IMPORTANT. If you vomit any oil, continue taking the doses, sometimes an excess is eliminated this way. 8. The treatment is also successful using only ½ pint of the olive oil when there is not chronic gall stone condition. As a cleanse in the relatively healthy person, 1/2 pint is good. 9. If there is a chronic gall stone condition I strongly recommend preparing for the treatment by diet, body work, relaxation, herbal baths, massage, and Bach flower remedies, before the actual gall bladder cleanse. A tight, tense congested area will make the treatment more uncomfortable than it needs to be. Truly, if a real cure is to take place, all those other dimension of holistic healing need to be considered. 10. Lie down for 1 hour further after the last dose is taken. 11. Retire early Reactions: 1. Nausea – Being quiet and still and lying down will reduce any nauseous effects. If you do vomit some of the oil, don’t worry. 2. Wind- rub stomach, take up squat position, gently rocking back and forth. 3. Burning (slight) in bowel means that chemical toxins are being released. 4. Sleeplessness- often people experience a happy, high feeling. Some dream a lot. Others are more uncomfortable. 5. If you need to move your bowels, do so. The stones very in color and size. The usual color is a green bile color. These stones are called biliverdin. On occasion bilirubin stones pass which are red. Usually any calcarious gall stones will not pass with the cleanse. They need to be dissolved from within by such herbs as hydrangea root. 6. The stones will come out up to 48 hours after the cleanse, and as they are exposed to the atmosphere they begin to soften and dissolve, until they are completely gone. In some cases the liquefying takes place before they leave the bowel. In this case the bowel movement is usually very soft and messy. 7. Anyone suffering from a chronic gall stone problem should follow through with herbal treatment to relieve the weakness and inflammation in the area. 8. The enema or colonic irrigation should be given the following morning on rising to stimulate the elimination in the area. 9. Often there is up to 1 cup or more of stones passed with a very minimum of discomfort. Follow up: 1. You may repeat the cleanse in three months if you wish 2. Pay attention to fatty foods and dairy products, and minimize these in your diet. 3. Do follow- up herbal treatment for inflammation. Gall bladder formula. 4. Explore emotional causes for all gall stones; a condition of negative fire emotions; anger, resentment, jealousy, bitterness
