Step 3: Gallbladder Flush

The following procedure is based on: " Natural Liver Therapy " by

Hobbs, L. Ac., Botanica Press, Capitola, CA (1993).

Eat only whole foods (un-refined foods) without fat for a whole day.

About an hour before bedtime, drink ¼-cup of extra virgin cold

pressed olive oil mixed with ¼-cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice

(from one lemon). Repeat this process every 15 minutes until a total

of 1 cup each of olive oil and lemon juice is finished. An

alternative to this procedure is to replace lemon juice with freshly-

squeezed grapefruit juice. A ¼ to ½ cup of grapefruit juice can be

used each time. A total of one to one and a half cups of grapefruit

juice is required. It works well and tastes better than lemon juice.

Go to bed immediately and lie on your right side.

The next morning take 1 litre (approximately 4 cups) of warm

distilled or filtered water containing two level teaspoons of un-

iodized sea salt. Alternatively the addition of juice from half a

lemon may be used in place of the sea salt.

Eat only softly cooked vegetables and broth the second day. The

gallstones should come out some time during the second day.

The stones that come out are usually dark green or black in colour.

They may also be brown, green or, rarely, red in colour. Stones

crushed by Gold Coin Grass (GCG) may come out in any shape including

flat pieces or sand.

Step 3a: Liver Cleanse and Gallbladder Flush (Alternative Procedure)

An alternative procedure to Step 3 above combines gallbladder flush

with liver flush. It uses apple juice fasting, as described below

(based on " Herbally Yours " , by Penny C. Royal, Sound Nutrition,

Utah, 1982). I would like to caution that people with cancer,

candida yeast infection, diabetes, hypoglycemia or stomach ulcer

should not use this apple juice fasting procedure.

Day 1:

Take 2 cups of 8 oz organic apple juice or apple cider every 2 hours

from 8 am to 8 pm. Altogether 14 cups will have been taken during

this period. Do not take any other food or drinks except plain water.

Please note that the apple juice should not be taken cold from the

refrigerator. It should be kept at room temperature or mixed with

about 10% hot water before use because cold drinks chill the liver.

For people with lots of stagnant bile, the collapsed stagnant bile

may rush out after drinking apple juice. It may feel like having

diarrhea but is actually stagnant bile (brownish yellow colour).

Day 2:

Repeat Day 1

At 8:30 pm, take ½-cup (4 oz) of olive oil (extra virgin cold

pressed) mixed with ½-cup of lemon juice (squeezed from 3 lemons) or

with ½ to ¾-cup of freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice.

Go immediately to bed and sleep on your right side. If there is a

large amount of stones, nausea may be felt after drinking olive oil

but this feeling will largely disappear on the third day after

taking some food.

Day 3:

Upon rising in the morning, take 1 litre (approximately 4 cups) of

warm distilled or filtered water containing two level teaspoons of

un-iodized sea salt. Alternatively the addition of juice from half a

lemon may be used in place of the sea salt. Wait for at least half

an hour before eating.

Take vegetable broth and softly cooked vegetables only. The stones

should be passed in the stool any time between midnight of Day 2 and

morning of Day 4.

Note: The purpose of drinking apple juice is mainly for the malic

acid in apple juice. Malic acid is a good solvent for stagnant bile

in the liver. Apple juice taken during fasting would dissolve and

push out stagnant bile in the liver. For someone with yeast

infection, apple juice can be replaced by malic acid in capsule or

powder form. The fasting procedure is the same except that apple

juice is replaced by 1000 - 2000 mg of malic acid taken with 2 cups

of warm water.
