You're in good company. I couldn't get olive oil and lemon juice

down in the first place. I switched to grapefruit juice. You can

shake it with the oil and it mixes good enough to drink. To keep

it down, make sure your stomach is empty (fast and epsom salts), wipe

your mouth so you don't have oil on your lips. Try sucking on

Altoids or putting peppermint oil under your nose. Taking something

to sleep through the night helps. And elevate your head and shoulders

after the first 1/2 hour - hour.

Yes, very good company! I have trouble with the regular olive oil, so I'm

thinking about switching to the extra light stuff next time. Hulda says it

is easier to get down. If you have trouble with oils in general by mouth,

you might want to build up your tolerance ahead of the cleanse by taking,

for example, one tablespoon a day, and then increasing to your tolerance

level until you feel that you could take down the whole thing during the

cleanse.

You can try this alternative flush. It may be easier.

Patty

The Liver Flush

1. Mix fresh-squeezed citrus juices together to make 1 cup of liquid. Orange

and grapefruit work well, but always include lemon or lime. The more sour the

taste, the more cleansing and activating the mixture. You may want to dilute

to taste with distilled water.

2. Add 1-2 cloves of fresh-squeezed garlic, along with a small amount of fresh-

squeezed ginger juice, obtained by grating ginger on a cheese grater and

pressing the fibers in a garlic press.

3. Add one tablespoon of quality cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, shake

well and drink.

4. Follow the flush with 2 cups of cleansing tea such as Polari-Tea (recipe

follows).

5. Polari-Tea is made with equal parts of fennel, fenugreek, flax and pepper-

mint, along with one quarter part licorice and one-quarter part burdock root,

simmered for 20 minutes and steeped for 10. These herbs can be purchased at

herb and health food stores.

6. Drink this flush in the morning and don't eat any other food for 1 hour.

To amplify the cleansing action, you may wish to fast, drinking fresh fruit and

vegetable juices. Hobbs also mentions taking an enema of one half

lemon mixed with one quart of tepid distilled water, retaining it for 10-15

minutes if possible. Lemon juice is an excellent cleanser because citric

acid in the juice binds with and removes heavy metals and toxic matter

accumulated in the body. HObb's excellent book also mentions " The Gallbladder

Flush " , a technique for those who have had previous experience with cleansing

programs and want to remove deeper levels of waste stored in liver cells,

the gallbladder, and other tissue.

Hi everybody

I feel sad right now. I have been struggling with exhaustion and poor

digestion for this last year now. Several people have suggested I do

a gallbladder cleanse.

However I have tried twice now and both times I have not been able to

keep the oil and lemon mixture down.

I'm finding it all frustrating and I guess I want a quick fix but

maybe I need to try a little patience and building up my liver and

gall-bladder gradually

Does anyone have any suggestions of what's worked for them in this

situation?
