Andreas Moritz: I grew up in a small town in Southwest Germany. At the early age of 19 I
left my home country and began my travels to numerous parts of the world where I continued my
studies, research and practice of healing. Reading became more a necessity for me than it was a
desire. At age 11, when other kids were playing in the fields, I studied books on the digestive
system, although I loved playing soccer and hanging out with my friends. Yet, my many health
conditions - severe digestive trouble (now called Irritable Bowel Syndrome), juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis, the heart problem arrhythmia, frequent fainting spells, anemia, chronic headaches,
nightmares, and other health issues - prevented me from living a normal life. None of the
standard medical tests offered any explanations why all this was happening to me at such an
early age, and any attempted medical treatments proved futile. But I was desperate to get better.
I quite remember when, at age 12, I began writing my first (unpublished) book, "Der Tod sitzt im
Darm," which could be translated as "The Seat of Death is in the Intestines." I received the
inspiration to study and understand the human digestive system through my own struggles and
extensive annual natural treatments that involved fasting on herb teas for 3-4 weeks and
powerful intestinal cleansing. The treatment was administered by an 80-year old doctor with
unorthodox theories and explanations of the origins of chronic disease in the human body. I
always felt great after a month of therapy in his clinic, but soon reverted back to the same
condition after several weeks of being at home again and eating my normal "German" diet. This
started a life-long journey in understanding the role that diet and nutrition have on health and
illness.
Another great influence in my life was my uncle, a leading naturopath in German who had
mastered the science of eye interpretation, more known as "Iridology," to perfection. He was the
first doctor to develop a camera that could take color photographs of the human iris. I quite
remember the day when he examined my eyes - I was only six years old - and told me that I had
stones in my liver. Years later, this small piece of information led me to the discovery that most
health problems are caused by stones in the liver. Little did I know then that it would one day help
thousands of people ward off the severest kinds of illness and help people take their health in
their own hands. Needless to say, it was my uncle who trained me in the diagnostic science of
Iridology, which is now being integrated into the conventional medical practice in Germany.
Booksandauthors.net: Why did you write The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush? Tell
us about this book.
Andreas Moritz: The reason for writing The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush resulted from
my own experiences with severe liver and gallbladder problems. My mother suffered three bouts
of hepatitis (normally a person can survive only two) before I was born. This certainly didn't
provide me with a strong basis for a healthy life. My German diet, which consisted of mostly
protein in the form of meat, poultry, eggs, cheese and milk, made certain that my liver would
become even more congested than it had already been. Eventually, my regular fainting spells
turned into fully blown gallbladder attacks, where some of the stones in my liver or gallbladder
became dislodged and stuck in the common bile duct. These attacks were accompanied by
excruciating pain in the liver area that tended to spread to the back and shoulders, vomiting,
diarrhea and fainting. My attacks usually lasted from 3 to 10 days and every breath I took
triggered very painful spasms in the middle part of my body. My spine developed a short scoliosis
(a complicated form of spinal curvature) in order to adjust the body to the presence of thousands
of gallstones in the gallbladder and liver. Chronic back pain became part of my daily life. All this
was reason enough for me to seek alternative ways to heal my condition.
My first liver cleanse released over 500 pea-size, dark green, foul-smelling gallstones, and from
that day onwards I have never suffered a gallstone attack again. Within less than one year I had
released a total of 3,500 stones, and my liver began rejuvenating and restoring its normal
functions. My spine straightened out and all pains disappeared.
It became obvious to me I had struck a goldmine of health and rejuvenation which I wanted to
share with everyone in need. First, I prescribed the liver cleanse formula to all my patients at my
clinic in Cyprus with overwhelming success. The most common feedback I got from them was
"this is amazing." It was the extraordinary success of this simple, do-it-yourself procedure among
sufferers of almost any type of illness that motivated me to write this book. It became obvious to
me that I needed to title this book The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush. And I didn't have to do much to
promote the book. The enthusiasm of the people who followed the directions provided in the
book was enough to make it widely known as one of the most powerful and effective ways to
improve one's health and retard the aging process.
Booksandauthors.net: What are gallstones? How do you avoid gallstones?
Andreas Moritz: An estimated 20% of the world's population will develop gallstones in
their gallbladder at some stage in their lives. This figure, however, does not account for the many
more people who will develop gallstones in their liver or already have them. During my thirty
years of practicing natural medicine I have dealt with thousands of people suffering from all types
of diseases. I can attest to the fact that each one of them, without exception, has had
considerable quantities of gallstones in their liver. Surprisingly, only relatively few of them
reported to have had a history of gallstones in their gallbladder. Gallstones in the liver are the
main impediment to acquiring and maintaining good health, youthfulness and vitality. They are,
indeed, one of the major reasons people become ill and have difficulty recuperating from illness.
The failure to recognize the incidence of gallstone formation in the liver may very well be the
most unfortunate oversight that has ever been made in the field of medicine, both orthodox and
complementary. Relying so heavily on blood tests for diagnostic purposes, as conventional
medicine does, may be a big disadvantage with regard to assessing liver health. Most people
who have a physical complaint of sorts have perfectly normal liver enzyme levels in the blood,
despite suffering liver congestion. Liver congestion and stagnation are among the most common
health problems, yet conventional medicine makes no reference to them, nor does it have a way
to diagnose these conditions. Liver enzyme levels in the blood become elevated only when there
is advanced liver cell destruction, as is the case, for example, in hepatitis or liver inflammation.
Liver cells contain large amounts of enzymes. When ruptured, the enzymes enter the blood and
signal liver abnormalities. But by then, the damage has already occurred. It takes many years of
congestion before such an event becomes possible. Therefore, typical clinical tests are not a
reliable way to detect gallstones in the liver.
The liver has direct control over growth and functioning of every cell in the body. Any kind of
malfunction, deficiency or abnormal growth pattern of the cell is largely due to poor liver
performance. Due to its extraordinary design, the liver often 'seems' to perform normally
(balanced blood values), even after it has lost up to 60% of its original efficiency. As deceiving
this may be to the patient and his doctor, the origin of most diseases can easily be traced to the
liver.
The presence of chunks of clotted bile (gallstones) in the liver and gallbladder greatly interferes
with such vital processes as the digestion of food, elimination of waste and detoxification of
harmful substances in the blood. By unblocking the liver bile ducts and the gallbladder, the body's
60 trillion cells will be able to 'breathe' more oxygen, receive sufficient amounts of nutrients,
efficiently eliminate their metabolic waste products, and maintain ideal communication links with
the nervous system, endocrine system and every other part of the body.
Almost every patient suffering a chronic illness has excessive amounts of gallstones in the liver.
This can easily be verified by having the chronically ill do a liver cleanse. Unfortunately, unless
there is a specific liver disease, this vital organ is rarely considered a 'culprit' for other diseases.
The majority of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder consist of the same 'harmless' constituents
as are contained in liquid bile, with cholesterol being the main ingredient. This makes most of
them 'invisible' to X-ray and ultra-sound technologies.
The situation is different with regard to the gallbladder where some of the gallstones, typically
about 20% of all stones, are made up entirely of minerals, predominantly, calcium salts and bile
pigments. Modern diagnostic tools can easily detect these hardened, relatively large stones, but
tend to miss the softer, non-calcified ones in the liver. Only when there are excessive amounts of
the cholesterol-based stones (95% cholesterol) blocking the bile ducts of the liver does
ultrasound reveal what is known to be a fatty liver. In such cases, the ultrasound pictures show a
liver that looks almost completely white (instead of black). A fatty liver can gather up to 20,000
stones before it succumbs to suffocation and ceases to function.
People with chronic illnesses often have several thousand gallstones congesting the bile ducts of
the liver. A number of stones may have impacted the gallbladder as well. By removing these
stones through a series of liver cleanses, and maintaining a balanced diet and lifestyle, the liver
and gallbladder will be able to restore their natural efficiency, and most symptoms of discomfort
or disease in the body will begin to subside. Allergies will lessen or disappear, back pain will
dissipate, energy and well-being will improve dramatically. Unclogging the liver bile ducts is one
of the most important and powerful procedures to regain or improve one's health.
There are two obvious ways to avoid gallstones, one is to keep the liver clean, once it has been
fully cleaned out. This can be easily accomplished by doing a liver cleanse once or twice per
year. The other way is simply to avoid those things that force the body to make gallstones. In the
book, I have dedicated a whole chapter to this subject. The causes of gallstone formation range
from dietary mistakes such as overeating, eating between meals, eating heavy meals in the
evenings, excessive protein consumption, eating junk foods and drinking too much alcohol, to
dehydration, rapid weight loss, low fat diets, all pharmacological drugs, using hormones, irregular
sleeping habits, emotional stress and conventional treatments for gallstones.
Booksandauthors.net: What is the liver cleanse recipe/ procedure for Andreas Moritz's
cleanse? Why and how does it work?
Andreas Moritz: The liver cleanse requires six days of preparation, followed by 16-20
hours of actual cleansing. The preparatory period includes drinking one liter of apple juice for six
days to soften up the gallstones, as well as a colon cleanse to ensure free passage of the
stones. Fasting is not required. In the evening of the sixth day you take two separate doses of
Epsom salts to relax the bile ducts and remove intestinal waste. This is followed by drinking half
a cup of olive oil mixed with the juice of citrus fruit, just before lying down to sleep. To ensure the
complete success and safety of the entire procedure, it is essential to follow all the directions as
outlined and explained in the book.
The olive oil mixture triggers a sudden and strong release of bile in the gallbladder and in the bile
ducts of the liver. The naturally oily bile permits the now softened stones to easily slip through the
common bile duct into the intestinal tract and, eventually, to leave the body via the anus. To
assist the body in expelling the stones, you take another two doses of Epsom salts during the
following morning. This continues to keep the common bile duct open and relaxed and triggers
frequent bowel evacuations. The result shows up in the toilet bowl, usually between 100-500
stones per cleanse, from the size of a pinhead to a pea, chick pea or two-inch marble. Most
stones float and are colored pea-green.
Booksandauthors.net: In your opinion, what do you think about cleanses that involve
liquid fasting, herbs, psyllium & bentonite and colonics?
Andreas Moritz: As it is with most problems in life, you can use different angles and
approaches to understand and handle them. Fasting can be a great blessing for some and but it
can also cause such severe complications as strokes or heart attacks in others. My father
became fatally ill in 1972 during a fast at the young age 53, from toxic overload and stress on the
heart. Such incidences, though, can be prevented by making certain that the organs of
elimination, including the colon, kidneys and liver are fairly open and remain clean while on the
fasting program. The colon should be flushed out every day. This prevents back-flushing of toxic
waste, and a potentially dangerous toxicity crisis during fasting.
Some people's gallbladders dry out during a fast, which can enhance gallstone formation. This is
due to lack of fats -the trigger for bile secretion. While still a child, I personally did annual fasts for
4 weeks on nothing but a special herbal tea, Epsom salts for internal cleansing, and mud-baths. I
did these "torture treatments" for 8 years in a row. They helped me tremendously, but all my old
symptoms (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, arrhythmia, fainting spells, low blood pressure, chronic
constipation, kidney congestion, etc., always kept coming back after several weeks of being back
home again and eating the same foods that had caused these health conditions in the first place.
In my case, although the fasting itself has had a great effect, it didn't change my overall health.
Later in life, I began to realize that I didn't need to fast to become or remain healthy. The liver
cleanse (see book The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush), colonics and dietary changes permanently
removed almost every symptom I was plagued with since I was 7 years old, without the need of
fasting. And I have not done a fast since 1978.
When it comes to matters of health, there are some basic principles that apply to everyone and
others that have even contrary effects in different people. In my opinion, Ayurveda has figured
out why this is the case, as it is explained in my book Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation.
But when it comes down to it, we
all have to figure out ourselves what is best for us. So it is with fasting.
Regarding the other parts of your question, I think the same answer applies to these as well.
Some people using Psyllium/Bentonite-based cleanses report great success, yet others have
literally plastered their intestines with these products. Many years ago, I have tried most of these
cleanses myself and recommended them to my patients. After thorough examination of the
released "fecal" matter, though, I found that, apart from some true waste matter, the large black
and rubber-like eliminations consisted mostly of expanded and hardened psyllium and bentonite
that were mixed with fecal water. The amounts of water required to clear these cleanse
ingredients can be considerable and may vary from person to person. A lot of people ended up
with dehydrated and shriveled up intestines.
The liver cleanse certainly plays a key role in maintaining good colon functions. Increased bile
flow directly improves bowel health. Bile contains bile salts that act like a natural laxative and
colon cleanser. All other methods pale against the body's own cleansing procedures. Colonic
irrigation, though, is very useful in removing old waste deposits and rehydrating the large
intestine, especially when combined with the liver cleanse. I have had tremendous successes
with this combination in almost every kind of chronic illness. You don't need to treat the
symptoms of an illness to cure it. The healing occurs spontaneously once the congestion and its
the underlying causes are eliminated.
Booksandauthors.net: What has been your feedback from readers?
Andreas Moritz: I receive hundreds of grateful e-mail letters per week from readers who
have successfully applied the liver cleanse and from health practitioners who have prescribed it
to their patients. Most of them express their absolute amazement over the results. They cannot
believe that the stinking mass of stones and acidic poisons they have passed during the liver
cleanses could have been stored for years in their liver and gallbladder without actually killing
them. Some of the best reports I have got included people who, being paralyzed for 20-30 years,
started walking again, or who found their egg-sized malignant tumors disappear after a just a few
liver flushes. Many readers simply say: "Thank you for writing this book, it saved my life." The
book contains a number of fascinating testimonials that I have received from all over the world.
Booksandauthors.net: Tell us about the other books you have written.
Andreas Moritz: I have written and published three more books. The first one is an
oversized book, titled Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation. It was written to put the
responsibility of basic health care back
where it belongs - into the hands of every person. I discovered very early in my life that treating
the symptoms of an illness requires great effort on behalf of the body and has little or nothing to
do with restoring health. Such an approach may at best keep the symptoms of disease at bay,
which by itself can be a major risk for more serious complications to arise at a later stage. It is
hardly surprising that this predominantly symptom-oriented approach of treatment has now
become the third leading cause of death in the United States and has greatly contributed to the
spread of chronic illness and untold suffering. It simply doesn't make sense to me that, despite all
the huge sums of money spent on health care, we are still using a system of medicine that is
making us more and more sick each year. One hundred years ago, the United States ranked 1st
among the world's healthiest nations. Today, at rank #94, the U.S. fares worse than even the
least developed country. We are far from finding a solution to this crisis when our focus is on
trying to fix the symptoms of disease.
In contrast, true healing occurs effortlessly and naturally once the conditions that are required for
the body to return to its most natural state - balance and efficiency - have been met. In this book I
have described in great detail what these conditions are and provided the methods how to
achieve this state of balance and efficiency, regardless of age and existing health problems.
Being truly healthy is a natural birthright that has been claimed by only few. Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation
opens the door for everyone to lead a stress-free life and enjoy continued
youth and vitality, for the rest of one's life.
Most people have no idea what actually causes disease because they believe this is only for the
doctors to know or find out. This book reveals the hidden reasons responsible for illness and
aging; furthermore, it gives a complete account of the four most common causes of disease,
regardless of whether they relate to a simple infection, heart disease, cancer or AIDS.
The basic theme running through the book is that, although it may be difficult to successfully treat
disease, it is relatively easy to create health; the latter being entirely the choice and responsibility
of the individual. Physicians are trained to combat or subdue illness but know very little about
employing the body and mind to heal a person. Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation includes a
complete self-help program, part of which is derived from the ancient medical system of
Ayurveda.
In addition to the above, this book is packed with useful information on all major health issues
and suggests effective methods of cleansing the blood, liver and gallbladder, intestines, kidneys,
blood vessels, lymphatic system and cell tissues. It is divided into twelve chapters that explain
everything from the mystery of mind and body, the laws of health and illness, the risk factors of
diseases, the diagnostic parameters and the journey to lifelong health and spiritual happiness.
Overall, it is the bible of good health, happiness and rejuvenation for those who long for a
balanced lifestyle.
Then there is my most recent book, entitled Lifting the Veil of Duality. Lifting the Veil of Duality poignantly
exposes the illusion of duality - good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark. It outlines a simple
way to remove every limitation that you have imposed upon yourself in the course of living
duality. You will be prompted to see yourself and the world through a new lens - the lens of
clarity, discernment and non-judgment. And you may find out why mistakes, deception,
dishonesty, pain, diseases, accidents, injustice, wars, crime and terrorism all have a deeper
purpose and meaning in the larger scheme of things.
Lifting the Veil of Duality shows you how you create or subdue the ability to materialize
your desires. Other topics include the mystery of time, the truth and illusion of reincarnation, the
misleading value of prayer, what makes relationships work and why so often they don't. Discover
why injustice is an illusion that has managed to haunt us throughout the ages. Learn about the
Great Separation, the angels amongst us, our light-bodies, why God lives within us, and how you
can heal yourself at a moment's notice. Read about the "New Medicine" and the destiny of the
old medicine, the old economy, the old religion and the old world.
My fourth book is titled It's Time to Come Alive. In today's hectic world, this book may
very well be what we all need to "wake up" from our "nightmare." Many of our biological functions
have deteriorated due to external (and oftentimes internal) factors, which include stress and
unhealthy lifestyle. Thus, it's understandable that we've been living in an unbalanced state.
Trained as an Ayurvedic healer, I have been able to translate the complex concepts of healing
and health in simple terms to assist readers in achieving their balanced state of being. Based on
thorough research and personal experiences as a health practitioner, the book provides much
more than lists of things to do in one's search for healthy lifestyle.
In narrative form, the book takes you to an enlightening journey of the lesser-known facts about
getting in tune with nature and how your body has the capability to self-heal. An interesting
anecdote is a man named Jim who literally grew another limb because he refused to believe it
couldn't be done. Perhaps we all have the capability to perform miracles. This book shows us
how to "wake up" to this potential. Reading it with an open mind is the key, I suppose.
Booksandauthors.net: What's next?
Andreas Moritz: I am currently working on a fifth book that may raise some eyebrows. It
will demonstrate that cancer isn't a disease, but a final and extremely complex survival attempt to
prevent the immediate demise of the person who suffers from severe physical congestion and
emotional self-attack.
Booksandauthors.net: What was the last book you read?
Andreas Moritz: I believe the last book I read from the beginning to the end was over ten
years ago, written by a good friend of mine, Dr. Deepak Chopra. It is Ageless Body, Timeless
Mind. I thought it was brilliant. I would like to read other books but there are so many
interesting and time-demanding things unfolding in my own life that I choose to stay with that, at
least for the time being.
Booksandauthors.net: Do you have any hobbies? What are they? How do they enhance
your writing?
Andreas Moritz: Much of my work is also my hobby. For example, I am the artist who has
created the healing paintings known as Ener-Chi Art (see website www.ener-chi.com. Ener-chi Art pictures restore the Chi
flow (life force) of all the organs and systems in the body, within a matter of seconds. Apart from
painting with oil, I also use my voice as a healing instrument. This method, which is unique on
this planet, is used for clearing emotional blocks and fear that originate from this and other
lifetimes. It is known as "Sacred Santèmony - Divine Chanting for Every Occasion (more
information about this on above website). I also compose and play music. My favored
instruments are the guitar, Indian sitar and native drums. Apart from that I love horse riding,
practicing yoga and meditation, and traveling to exotic locations around the world.
For me, writing is an expression of my passion for life. Although my native language is German,
writing in English comes easy to me, just as speaking does. Life inspires me because it is so
packed with insights and wisdom that I cannot help but express it through words. I tend to learn
something from every situation in my life, from the people I meet, by observing nature and even
from the so-called negative situations. I hope to be able to instill this passion for life in the minds
and hearts of my readers.
