Preview of The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush (2012 Edition)

Most people believe that gallstones can be found only in the gallbladder. This is a common, yet false assumption. Most gallstones are actually formed in the liver, and comparatively few occur in the gallbladder. You can easily verify this by giving yourself a liver flush. It matters little whether you are a layperson, a medical doctor, a scientist, or someone whose gallbladder was removed and, therefore, is believed to be stone-free.

The results of the liver flush speak for themselves. No amount of scientific proof or medical explanation can make such a cleanse any more valuable than it already is. Once you see hundreds of green, beige-colored, brown, or black gallstones in the toilet bowl during your first liver flush, you will intuitively know that you are on to something extremely important in your life.

To satisfy your possibly curious mind, you may decide to take the expelled stones to a laboratory for chemical analysis or ask your doctor what she thinks about all that. Your doctor may either support you in your initiative to heal yourself, or tell you this is just ridiculous and warn you against it. Regardless of what others may say to you, what is most significant in this experience is that you have taken active responsibility for your own health, perhaps for the first time in your life.

An estimated 20 percent of the world’s population will develop gallstones in their gallbladder at some stage in their lives; many of them will opt for surgical removal of this important organ. Although gallbladder surgery is rarely necessary and can have long-term devastating consequences, most patients succumb to the pressure by their doctor and loved ones to have it removed. Some doctors even tell their patient that cutting out their gallbladder is inconsequential. If you no longer have a gallbladder, please read on. Purging your liver of stones is even more important for you than for those who still have a gallbladder.

There are far more people who have gallstones in the liver than people who have gallstones in the gallbladder. During some 35 years of working in the field of natural medicine and seeing thousands of people suffering from all types of chronic diseases, I can attest to the fact that each one of them, without exception, has had considerable amounts of gallstones in their liver. Surprisingly, relatively few of them reported to have had a history of gallstones in their gallbladder. Gallstones in the liver are, as you will understand from reading this book, the main impediment to acquiring and maintaining good health, youthfulness, and vitality. Gallstones in the liver are, indeed, one of the major reasons people become ill and have difficulty recuperating from illness.

The failure to recognize and accept the incidence of gallstone formation in the liver as an extremely common phenomenon may very well be the most unfortunate oversight that has ever been made in the field of medicine, both orthodox and holistic.

Relying so heavily on blood tests for diagnostic purposes, as conventional medicine does, may actually be a great disadvantage with regard to assessing liver health. Most people who have a physical complaint of one kind or another may show to have perfectly normal liver enzyme levels in the blood, despite suffering from chronic liver bile duct congestion.

Congestion in the liver bile ducts is among the leading health problems, yet conventional medicine rarely refers to it, nor do doctors have a reliable way to detect and diagnose such a condition. Standard liver tests involve measuring liver enzyme counts in the blood. Liver enzymes are only elevated when there is advanced liver cell destruction, as is the case, for example, in liver inflammation, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. It usually takes many years of chronic liver bile duct congestion before liver damage becomes apparent.

Standard clinical tests almost never reveal the occurrence of gallstones in the liver. So when a doctor sees the handful of stones that his patient has just released during a liver cleanse, she may just shake her head and proclaim, “These are not gallstones!” In fact, most doctors don’t even know that gallstones grow inside the liver, in spite of the fact that medical literature is replete with studies that describe them in great detail.

That said, most of the relevant research was conducted before digital archiving was available (between 1920s and 1960s), and today’s health practitioners simply don’t have the time to study the research that was done over 50 years ago, not to mention the research published during the past 2-3 years. Now that digital scanning technology provides us with easy access to such historic medical information, we have a better understanding of what these scientists have referred to as intrahepatic stonesor intrahepatic gallstones.

In a more recent publication titled “Intrahepatic Stones – A Clinical Study”, a team of researchers describes the results of examining patients afflicted with stones congesting the liver bile ducts. This research, which was published in the Annals of Surgery in February 1972, clearly distinguishes between gallstones in the gallbladder and gallstones in the liver. The authors state that “For centuries, both surgeons and pathologists have noticed another type of stone in the intrahepatic biliary ducts. The location, consistency, number, and behavior of such stones were found to be entirely different from choledocholithiasis (stone formation) of gallbladder origin. Liver stones or intrahepatic stones were the names designated for this condition.”

 Some of the more advanced research universities, such as the prestigious Johns Hopkins University, have begun to describe and illustrate these liver stones in their literature or on their websites. Regardless of the overwhelming scientific evidence of the existence of liver stones, it is remarkable that trained medical professionals still vehemently deny that stones could possibly occur in the liver. They insist that the stones released during liver flushes are merely olive oil soap stones that are somehow produced from the ingredients used for the liver cleansing procedure. (I will address this subject later in Chapter 7)

I have frequently argued that intrahepatic gallstones are a relatively new occurrence among populations in the Western Hemisphere. The subjects in this study were mostly people who were undernourished and must have lost weight, and not have had enough fats in their diet to keep bile production stimulated and the bile flora balanced. Weight loss is a well-known, leading cause of intrahepatic gallstones.

In the West, food was a lot more plentiful (except during times of war), organically grown, free of contamination and pesticides, and unprocessed. Most foods eaten consisted of homegrown fresh produce or natural foods purchased from local farmers. No chemical preservatives were used. With the onset of food factories and lab-made foods (now over 44,000), mass vaccination campaigns, toxic cosmetic products, water fluoridation,  environmental toxins, chemtrail spraying, and the consumption of medical drugs filled with toxic ingredients, etc., the human liver started mass-producing intrahepatic stones. Today, it’s almost impossible not to make them, unless you know how to avoid them. Still, most people, including doctors, are completely unaware of them.

By understanding how gallstones in the liver contribute to the occurrence or deterioration of nearly every kind of illness, and by taking the simple steps to remove them, you will put yourself in charge of restoring your own health and vitality, permanently. The implications of applying the liver flush for yourself (or if you are a health practitioner, for your patients) are immensely rewarding. To have a clean liver equals having a new lease on life.

Although there are numerous factors than can impact your health in one way or another, most of them affect the liver. While it is very important to take care of these other disease-causing factors, leaving the liver out of the equation would be unwise and may actually render any other healing approaches ineffective.

The liver has direct control over the 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. Even when it has lost up to 60 percent of its original efficiency, the liver’s extraordinary design and resourcefulness may still allow it to perform normally, as indicated by in the proper range blood values. As unbelievable as this may sound to the patient and his doctor, the origin of most diseases can easily be traced to the liver. The first chapter of this book is dedicated to this vitally important connection.

All diseases or symptoms of ill health are caused by an obstruction of some sort. For example, a blood capillary that is blocked can no longer deliver vital oxygen and nutrients to a group of cells it is in charge of supplying to. To survive, these cells will need to enforce specific survival measures. Of course, many of the afflicted cells will not live through the famine and will simply die off. Yet other, more resilient cells will adjust to this adverse situation through the process of cell mutation and learn to utilize trapped metabolic waste products, such as lactic acid, to cover their energy needs. These cells may be compared to a man in the desert who, for lack of water, relies on drinking his own urine in order to live a little longer than he would otherwise.

Cell mutation leading to cancer is merely the body’s final attempt to help prevent its demise through an overload of toxins and a damaged organ structure. Although common practice, it is farfetched to call the body’s predictable response to the accumulation of toxic waste matter and decomposing cell material a disease. Unfortunately, ignorance of the body’s true nature has caused many to believe that this instinct-driven survival mechanism is an autoimmune disease. The word autoimmune suggests that the body attempts to attack itself and practically tries to commit suicide. Nothing could be further from the truth. Among other reasons, cancerous tumors result from major congestion in the connective tissues, blood vessel walls, and lymphatic ducts, all of which prevent healthy cells from receiving enough oxygen and other vital nutrients.

All cancer cells are oxygen-starved. To initiate healing and undo or repair the damage in the affected organ, the body builds new blood vessels to sustain the cancer cells and prevent complete organ failure, at least for as long as possible.

Other, more apparent obstructions in the body can also seriously affect your well-being. A constipated colon, for example, prevents the body from eliminating the waste products contained in feces. The retention of fecal matter in the lower intestine leads to a toxic environment in the entire gastrointestinal tract and, if the situation is not resolved, in the rest of the body. Chronic constipation can even make you feel unhappy, anxious, or depressed.

Crystal aggregations formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals can obstruct the flow of urine in the kidneys and urinary bladder, thereby causing kidney infection and kidney failure. The buildup of mineral deposits in the urinary system can also lead to fluid retention, weight gain, high blood pressure, and dozens of disease symptoms.

If acidic, toxic waste matter builds up in the chest and lungs, the body responds with mucus secretions to trap these noxious substances. As a result, the air passages of the lungs become congested, and the body runs out of breath/air. If the body is already very toxic and congested, a lung infection may result.

Lung infections occur to help destroy and remove any damaged, weak lung cells that otherwise would start rotting and form pus. Lung congestion prevents the natural removal of damaged or weak cells. If the congestion is not cleared up through natural means, such as coughing or draining, the pus may be trapped in the lung tissue. Naturally, infectious bacteria will increasingly populate the scene to assist the body in its desperate effort to clean out the congested area, filled with decomposing cells and waste products. Doctors call this healing mechanism staph infection, or pneumonia.

Poor hearing and ear infections may result if sticky mucus filled with toxins and/or dead or living bacteria enter the ducts that run from your throat to the ears (Eustachian tubes).

Likewise, thickening of the blood (platelets sticking together) caused by highly acid-forming foods or beverages may restrict its flow through the capillaries and arteries, and thereby lead to numerous conditions, ranging from simple skin irritation to arthritis or high blood pressure, even heart attack and stroke.

These or similar obstructions in the body are directly or indirectly linked to restricted liver performance – in particular, to an impasse caused by gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. The presence of chunks of hardened bile and other trapped organic or inorganic substances in these two organs greatly interferes with such vital processes as the digestion of food, elimination of waste, and detoxification of harmful substances in the blood.

By decongesting the liver bile ducts and the gallbladder, the body’s 60 to 100 trillion cells will be able to breathe more oxygen, receive sufficient amounts of nutrients, efficiently eliminate their metabolic waste products, and maintain perfect communication links with the brain, nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, and all other parts of the body.

Almost every patient suffering a chronic illness has excessive amounts of gallstones in the liver. A doctor can easily confirm this by having a chronically ill patient do a liver flush. It is unfortunate that unless a specific liver disease is found, this vital organ is rarely considered a culprit for other diseases.

The majority of gallstones in the liver consist of the same harmless constituents as are found in liquid bile, with cholesterol being the main ingredient. A number of stones consist of fatty acids and other organic material that has ended up in the bile ducts. The fact that the majority of these stones are just congealed clumps of bile and other organic matter makes them practically invisible to x-rays, ultrasonic technologies, and computerized tomography (CT).

While populations in the Western Hemisphere rarely develop calcified stones in the liver, they are more frequently found in Asian populations, such as in Japan and China.

The situation is different with regard to the gallbladder, where up to about 20 percent of all stones can be made up entirely of minerals, predominantly calcium salts, cholesterol crystals and bile pigments. Whereas diagnostic tests can easily detect these hard, and possibly, large stones in the gallbladder, they tend to miss the softer, non-calcified stones in the liver.

Only when excessive amounts of cholesterol-based stones (85-95 percent cholesterol), or other clumps of fat, block the bile ducts of the liver may an ultrasound test reveal what is generally referred to as fatty liver disease. In such a case, the ultrasound pictures reveal a liver that is almost completely white (instead of black). A fatty liver can gather up to 70,000 stones before it succumbs to suffocation and ceases to function.

If you had a fatty liver and went to the doctor, you would be told that you had excessive fatty tissue in your liver. It is less likely, though, that you would be told that you had intrahepatic gallstones (stones obstructing the liver’s bile ducts). As mentioned before, most of the smaller stones in the liver are not detectable through ultrasound or CT scans. Nevertheless, careful analysis of diagnostic images by specialists would show whether some of the smaller bile ducts in the liver were dilated because of obstruction.

A dilation of bile ducts caused by larger and denser stones or by clusters of stones may be detected more readily through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, unless there is an indication of major liver trouble, doctors rarely check for intrahepatic stones. Unfortunately, although the liver is one of the most important organs in the body, its disorders are also underdiagnosed all too often.

Even if the early stages of a fatty liver or gallstone formation in the bile ducts were easily recognized and diagnosed, today’s medical facilities offer no treatments to relieve this vital organ of the heavy burden it has to carry.

Most people in the developed world have accumulated hundreds and, in many cases, thousands of hardened bile and fat deposits in the liver. These stones continuously block the liver’s bile ducts, which greatly stresses this vital organ and the rest of the body.

In view of the adverse effect these stones have on liver performance as a whole, their composition is quite irrelevant. Whether your doctor or you consider them conventional mineral-based gallstones, fat deposits, or clots of hardened bile, the net result is that they prevent the necessary amounts of bile from reaching the intestines.

The important question is how such a simple thing as obstructed bile flow can cause such complex diseases as congestive heart failure, diabetes, and cancer.

Liver bile is a bitter, alkaline fluid of a yellow, brown, or green color. It has multiple functions. Each one of these profoundly influences the health of every organ and system in the body. Apart from assisting with the digestion of fat, calcium, and protein foods, bile is needed to maintain normal fat levels in the blood, remove toxins from the liver, help maintain proper acid/alkaline balance in the intestinal tract, and keep the colon from breeding harmful microbes.

Bile prevents and possibly cures cancer and heart disease, the two leading causes of death! The importance of bile for maintaining good health has not been fully acknowledged yet, at least not by mainstream medicine. However, scientific evidence has been mounting that suggests the bile pigments bilirubin and biliverdin, which give color to bile, play an extremely important physiological role in humans.

According to a study published in 2008 in the prestigious medical journal Mutation Research, bile pigments possess strong anti-mutagenic properties. The researchers stated that in the past, bile pigments and bilirubin, in particular, were thought of as useless by-products of heme catabolism (breaking down) that can be toxic if they accumulate. “However, in the past 20 years, research probing the physiological relevance of bile pigments has been mounting, with evidence to suggest bile pigments possess significant antioxidant and anti-mutagenic properties,” the study concludes.

Doctors tend to make you panic if your skin color or eyes turn yellow (jaundice). They won’t tell you that your body is actually in the process of getting rid of dangerous peroxyl radicals and a number of classes of mutagens (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic amines, oxidants), all chemicals known to cause cells to become cancerous. To say it differently, sometimes the body appears to make you ill so that it can make you truly healthy.

I consider this research finding to be one of most important discoveries in the field of medicine, something that the most ancient system of medicine (6,000-year-old Ayurveda) has known all along. Bile, unless trapped by stones in the bile ducts or by stones in the gallbladder, can prevent healthy cells from mutating into cancer cells. In fact, the research found that people with higher concentrations of bilirubin and biliverdin in their bodies have a lower incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

According to Japanese research, the increased levels of bile pigments during jaundice can even resolve persistent, difficult to control asthma due to acute hepatitis B.

Naturally, these and similar findings, raise the question whether what medical science considers to be diseases may actually be complex survival and healing attempts by the body. When treated and suppressed with pharmaceutical drugs, the body’s healing efforts may be completely compromised. Instead of waging a drug war against the body, we might just as well support it by removing unnecessary, accumulated obstructions. Given the immensely important role that bile and its components play in the body, it makes perfect sense to keep the bile flow unhindered at all times.

To maintain a strong and healthy digestive system, prevent cell mutation and oxidation damage, and feed body cells the right amount of nutrients, the liver has to produce 1–1.5 quarts of bile per day. Anything less than that is bound to cause problems with the digestion of food, elimination of waste, and the body’s continual detoxification of the blood. Many people produce just about a cupful of bile or less per day. As will be shown in this book, nearly all health problems are a direct or indirect consequence of reduced bile availability.

People with chronic illnesses often have several thousand gallstones congesting the bile ducts of the liver. Some stones may have also formed in the gallbladder. By removing these stones from these organs through a series of liver flushes and maintaining a balanced diet and lifestyle, the liver and gallbladder can restore their original efficiency, and most symptoms of discomfort or disease in the body can start subsiding. You may find that any persistent allergies will lessen or disappear. Back pain will dissipate, while energy and well-being will improve.

Ridding the liver bile ducts of gallstones is one of the most important and powerful procedures you can apply to improve and regain your health.

In this book, you will learn how to remove painlessly up to several hundred gallstones at a time. The size of the stones ranges from that of a pinhead to a small walnut, and in some rare cases, a golf ball. The actual liver flush takes place within a period of less than 14 hours and can be done conveniently over a weekend at home.

Chapter 1 explains in detail why the presence of gallstones in the bile ducts, both inside and outside the liver, can be considered the greatest health risk and may cause almost every major or minor illness.

In Chapter 2, you will be able to identify the signs, marks, and symptoms that indicate the presence of stones in your liver or gallbladder.

Chapter 3 deals with the possible causes of gallstones.

In Chapter 4, you will learn the actual procedure to rid your liver and gallbladder of gallstones. It basically consists of a preparatory period of 6 days during which stones are being softened, and the actual flush procedure that involves the drinking of a mixture of olive and citrus juice.

Chapter 5 contains guidelines on what you can do to prevent new gallstones from forming.

Chapter 6, What I Can Expect from the Liver and Gallbladder Flush, covers some of the possible health benefits of this profound self-help tool.

Chapter 7 covers the many misconceptions laypersons and medical professionals still have about the liver flush, and the false information spread by those who have a financial and vested interest in keeping people away from cleansing their liver and proactively taking care of their own health.

Moreover, you can read what others have to say about their experiences with the liver flush on my website www.ener-chi.com, where you will also find a list of the most frequently asked questions pertaining to the flush

To reap the maximum benefit from this procedure, and to do it safely, I strongly encourage you to read this entire book before starting with the actual liver flush.

In addition to providing you with all the information you will need in order to have to safely and thoroughly cleanse your liver and gallbladder and restore your digestive health, this new edition is packed full with essential information about taking care of many other important aspects of your health and well-being.

“How does the liver and gallbladder flush work?” you may ask. The process is actually quite simple. Its cleansing effects are due to the ingested oil mixture prompting a powerful and quick discharge of bile from the liver and the gallbladder. The outpouring of bile takes along with it any toxins, cholesterol stones from the liver and calcified gallstones from the gallbladder, if present. Both, the liver and the gallbladder, release toxins and stones into the common bile duct.

The cleansing procedure also includes taking several doses of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) which relaxes the bile ducts and keeps them wide open during the release process while also ensuring easy passage of the stones through the intestinal tract. The stones enter the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) where the common bile duct joins the pancreatic duct. From there onwards, the stones and toxins travel into the large intestine for excretion.

 The picture shown on the cover of the book is part of a series of energized oil paintings, known as Ener-Chi Art, which I created in order to help restore the life force energy (chi) in all the organs and systems of the body. The photographic print of this particular picture helps to restore chi flow in the liver and gallbladder.

Unfortunately, digital prints such as the one shown on the book cover do not have nearly this effect, although there are benefits. (To order photo prints, see Other Books and Products by Andreas Moritz) Viewing this picture for at least 30 seconds and preferably longer – before, sometimes during, and after the flush – energizes these two organs and may assist you in the process of cleansing and rejuvenating them. The picture, though, is not necessary to achieve excellent results.

I wish you great success on your journey to achieving the perpetual state of health, happiness, and vitality that you deserve!
