Dear Agnes, Dale, or anyone who could help,

My mom, 71-yrs, has just been diagnosed with gallstones. Surgeons, of course,

would like to do surgery. She's not a good candidate for surgery because of

heart problems, and has been on medication for years to stop a rapid hard rate

and high blood pressure. Along with all the heart medication, she consumes

drugs like Motrin and Advil for back pain-she's arthritic and one of her

shoulder joints has no cartilage left, so she suffers from severe pain with

that. Oh, and one other thing, she also suffers from psoriasis. Her diet is

fair to poor, with noone to help her improve it; I live 1,000 miles from her and

have no way to physically help her.

She is willing to try the liver cleanse, but from what I've read in Dr. 's

book, you should not be taking any medication when you do the liver cleanse. Do

you know of any risks in her doing the liver cleanse while still on medication,

and/or are there any side effects of doing the liver cleanse while taking

medication. I don't know if I can get her off of her medication. I'm thinking

that the ingredients of the liver cleanse are safe enough, so what harm could

there be in her trying it?

Any advice you could give would be appreciated.

Adrienne;

It's good that your mother is willing to try doing something for her body. The

biggest obstacle is her age but that by itself shouldn't cause her too much

trouble as long as she does things progressively. Of course getting herself to

eating a regimented diet is of first order and then with that in place most

everything else will start falling into place. It's just hard to change hard set

eating habits and especially for someone of that age group.

I don't know of any problems with a good diet interfering with a medicine and

that's really all the flush really is, just good food grade oil in a little

extra abundance. The problem I can see here is that since your mother has so

many issues it could be pretty uncomfortable for her to deal with a Herxhimer

reaction from the healing processes that may start to occur with a change in

diet. The diet will, as a natural course of things, start the liver cleansing

process. The good side to all of this too is that the flushing of the liver will

be gradual and then the getting out toxins at a much more controlled rate.

The best advise I could suggest would be for her to do what I would imagine

you've already been telling her and that is to avoid foods that are not doing

her a bit of good such as those that are hydrogenated as in the case of frying,

whether deep or pan fried, and then avoiding saturated animal fats. I would also

suggest avoiding white refined flower and other refined and processed foods as

well as the infamous unnatural sugar substitute aspartame. These are just

starters as once a person has started to avoid these things the body is going to

get pretty uncomfortable while starting to change to a new habit, the will is

much more weakened at this time.

Assisting her diet with a digestive enzymes wouldn't hurt either. The addition

of more essential fatty acids of the omega 3 variety will certainly help settle

the craving for the other saturated fats like bacon or processed cheeses and

work towards making her joints feel better. The other thing to consider

controlling is the intake of omega 6 types of essential fatty acids and working

on a more balanced intake of the omega 6 and omega 3 acids. The enzyme

supplement will help in the digestion of the oil's fat as long as it has lipase

There really isn't too much harm in trying the liver flush but it can be pretty

uncomfortable for someone who is already fairly compromised in health if there

isn't some sort of diet adjusted precursor to its application.

Adrienne,

My husband has successfully done three cleanses while taking his blood

pressure medicine. He just took his blood pressure medicine in the morning

as usual and followed the directions for the cleanse as outlined on Dr.

's books.
