Colonista: One Woman's Search for the World's Best Colon Cleansing

4 Tips to Make Your Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse Successful

We've covered almost all the bases when it comes to the second step of Dr. Edward F. Group III's Green Body Cleanse: liver and gallbladder cleansing. To wrap things up, here are four tips to keep in mind during your cleanse:

 

1. Avoid drinking milk, alcohol, coffee, soft drinks, and bottled juices during your cleanse. These beverages will decrease the effectiveness of the cleanse while adding more toxins to the body. For the best results, drink only purified water during your cleanse.
2. Try to begin your cleanse on a Tuesday or Wednesday so that the last day falls on either a Saturday or Sunday. This way, you'll be close to a bathroom all day during the last day of the cleanse.
3. Repeat! You need to perform more than one liver and gallbladder cleanse for the best results. Dr. Group recommends performing the cleanse three times in a row.
4. If you're still experiencing symptoms after your third cleanse, it's a sign that you need additional cleanses--or that the cleanse you performed wasn't all that effective.

How to Make Dr. Group's World-Famous Liver/Gallbladder Soup

Okay, so Dr. Edward F. Group III's liver/gallbladder soup may not be world-famous, but you'll imagine it is once you taste it. The soup is great anytime, but be sure that you eat it during your last day of cleansing so that you're sure to maximize your liver's ability to detoxify. The combination of the ingredients in the soup help your liver to better purge toxins during the cleansing process.

 

Here's the recipe:

• Half organic onion (chopped)
• One organic beet (chopped)
• Two organic carrots (chopped)
• Ten organic garlic cloves (minced)
• Half teaspoon organic turmeric
• Half teaspoon organic oregano
• One teaspoon organic Himalayan sea salt

Pour thirty-two ounces of purified water into a large soup pot. Add all of the above ingredients and bring to a boil. Once the mixture is to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer on low heat for one hour.

 

Enjoy this soup as your lunch meal--or anytime! Be sure to refrigerate and save your leftovers for the following day's lunch.

 

And be sure to let me know what you think about the soup in the commentS!

Not Sure What to Snack on During Your Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse?

You've come to the right place! Here, I'll give you some ideas for snacks that will help to promote your liver and gallbladder cleanse. And a big thank-you to Dr. Edward F. Group III for these three great snack ideas.

 

Snack Option #1

Organice avocados with a splach or organic lime or lemon juice and a dash of sea salt to taste. Research shows that the regular consumption of avocados can actually improve liver function.

 

Snack Option #2

Eight ounces of raw, organic walnuts. These nuts contain arginine, an amino acid that helps the liver to efficiently detoxify ammonia.

 

Snack Option #3

Water. I know this doesn't sound like a great option for a snack, but if you're not hungry or feel as though you can forgo your afternoon snack, drink as much distilled water as you can manage.

 

Which snack option is your favorite?

What Are Some More Herbs for My Liver and Gallbladder?

Yesterday, I talked about five herbs that promote liver and gallbladder cleansing. Here are four more to consider:

 

1. Milk Thistle Seed

Many studies suggest that this herb helps to support healthy liver function. Milk Thistle Seed help to promote the liver's ability to regenerate new tissue as old tissue wears down and also stimulates the organ's ability to produce bile, leading to more healthy digestive function.

 

2. Peppermint Leaf

This herb helps to promote the flow of bile from your liver to your gallbladder, helping to keep your liver in ideal working order while aiding the overall digestive process.

 

3. Yellow Duck Root

This root helps to eliminate foreign substances that can overwhelm the gallbladder and liver.

 

4. Chanca Piedra

Liver and Gallbladder Cleansing 101

Dr. Edward F. Group III gathered together some of the most frequently asked questions about liver and gallbladder cleansing. They're sure to help you with the basics of this type of cleanse. Here they are:

 

1. Can I participate in this type of cleanse if I don't have a gallbladder?

Absolutely! If you don't have a gallbladder, your liver has to work twice as hard. Therefore, this type of cleanse is even more recommended if you're missing your gallbladder.

 

2. What kinds of symptoms can I expect to experience during a liver and gallbladder cleanse?

Understand that you might actually feel worse during and after the cleanse than before you started it. That's because the accumulated toxins must be processed in order to be removed. Common symptoms include headache, fatigue, minor rash, joint or muscle ache, lack of mental clarity, sleeping issues, irritability, or mood swings. Some people may experience several symptoms while others experience none.

 

3. What will come out of me during a liver and gallbladder cleanse?

Typically, you'll purge over 100 stones from the gallbladder and liver during your first cleanse. The stones can range in size from extremely tiny, sand-like granules to those the diameter of a quarter. They'll most likely be mixed in with your fecal matter.

 

4. How will I know when I'm totally detoxified?

Some people will notice foul-smelling bowel movement at the beginning of the cleanse. Over time, there will be a decrease in the foul smell. But do know that the liver and gallbladder are never 100% clean, since their main function is to metabolize toxic material.

 

5. How will I feel after my first cleanse?

Many will feel more energetic after their first cleanse. If you feel worse following the cleanse than you did before it, do another cleanse. There are undoubtedly more stones that need to be purged from your system.

5 Tips on How to Choose the Right Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse

So you're ready to take on the second step of Dr. Edward F. Group III's Green Body Cleanse. But how do you know which liver and gallbladder cleanse is right for you? Here are five tips that will help you pick the right cleansing program:

 

1. Be sure that your liver and gallbladder cleansing program lasts between five and seven days.
2. Make sure that your program includes organic or wild crafted herbs. These herbs soften the stones and help to prepare the gallbladder and liver for cleansing.
3. Make sure that your program includes Epsom salts. Epsom salts help to relax the gallbladder and bile ducts, which allow for easy passage of the stones.
4. Make sure that your program includes dietary recommendations meant to help the cleansing process.
5. Make sure that your program requires you to drink between six and eight ounces of organic olive oil (typically on the last day). This helps to contract and purge the gallbladder and liver of stored stones and toxins.

Ready for Step Two of the Green Body Cleanse?

So we've exhausted ourselves learning about the first step of Dr. Edward F. Group III's Green Body Cleanse: colon cleansing. Now it's time to move on to step two: liver and gallbladder cleansing.

 

Dr. Group recommends participating in three liver and gallbladder cleanses in a row. In most cases, he says to perform your first cleanse and then wait five to ten days before repeating the cleanse; however, this greatly depends on the individual and how many toxins we're dealing with. It's safe to say that you should wait until you feel ready to take on the second and third cleanses. Dr. Group also recommends working with a natural healthcare practitioner during your liver and gallbladder cleanses so that your progress can be monitored.
