RAPID HEALING FOODS FOR THE LIVER

Reportedly, apples stimulate all body secretions. They contain malic and

tartaric acids which help prevent liver trouble. Cherries and dandelion greens

are very cleansing to the liver. Grapefruit, parsley, pomegranate, quince,

raspberries, strawberries, tangerines and tomatoes help relive a sluggish liver

and liver congestion. Watercress relieves inflammation of the liver. Her is a

complete list of foods that have been used to relive liver problems:

Apple juice, apples, artichokes, beet juice, beet leaves- boiled, carrot

juice, carrots, cauliflower, cherries, collards, cranberries, dandelion greens,

dandelion tea, endives, gooseberries, garlic, grapefruit, grape juice, grapes,

lemon juice, olive oil. olives, orange juice, green peppers, plums,

pomegranate, quince, radish juice, raspberries, sesame seeds, spinach,

strawberries,

tangerines, tomatoes, turnip greens, walnuts, watercress.

Dandelion tea ( a strong cupful twice a day) seems to cleanse and purify the

liver. One doctor claimed to have relived liver problems in almost every

case, including his own, with this tea. For him, it was the only thing that

worked after 15 years of misery. His nurse recommended it.

Garlic's major value in liver disorders is its power to detoxify

putrefactive bacteria in the intestines, and thereby give the liver a rest (it

is the

liver that cleanses blood coming up from the intestines). It is an aid to

increased and vigorous circulation through the liver. It is claimed that a

teaspoon

of garlic (diced) mixed with a tablespoon of olive oil or soybean oil, taken

at night will liven up the liver and so rejuvenate it that the skin of the

body will glow with renewed vitality.

Grapes help combat liver disorders, jaundice and stimulate bile flow. They

have been recommended to relieve a sluggish liver, with pain or tenderness on

the right side--in a meat and grape juice diet (white chicken meat without the

skin or lean meat like steak or veal), no other food or drink, as long as

necessary. Grapes may be eaten, as well. Diabetics should not use this.

RAPID HEALING FOODS FOR THE GALL BLADDER

In general the same foods used for liver problems will reportedly help gall

bladder sufferers. Here is a list of specific foods that have been used to

relieve gall bladder problems:

apple juice, apricots, barley water, beet juice, boiled beet leaves, beet

tops, bran, brewers yeast, carrot juice, chamomile tea, dandelion greens,

dandelion tea, endives, gooseberries, unrefined grains, grapefruit, grapefruit

juice, grape juice, lemon juice, nuts, olive oil, orange juice, parsley tea,

pears

radish juice rhubarb, rose petal tea, soybean lecithin, squash, sunflower

seeds, vinegar, walnuts, water.

Apples contain malic and tartaric acids, said to be of great value in

dissolving out gallstones and gravel from the urinary organs. The same is true

of

rose petal tea. Plain, boiled beet leaves have been found to clear the bile

duct of its clogging debris. Eat a large portion and nothing else that day,

says one doctor. Beet tops are also said to speed the flow of bile. Bran and

other high fiber cereals start the bile juice flowing, and sweep degenerated

bile salts out of the colon. They are a good way to start the day, and most

patients report relief of symptoms, say doctors.

More fluid intake is also recommended, especially water. The best juices to

use in treating gall bladder inflammation are grape, carrot and beet, with

small additions of dandelion and radish juice, says one researcher. Pear juice

is also very effective in reliving gall bladder trouble. Chamomile tea has

dissolved gallstones in as little as 24 hours. Lemon juice is so powerful it

can stimulate, purge and empty the gall bladder, says one doctor, who recommends

3 tablespoons of undiluted unsweetened lemon juice, 15-30 minutes before

breakfast daily, for a week. Reportedly lemon juice also helps to relieve the

nausea gall bladder victims may suffer.

Flush recommendations:

Virgin olive oil, starting with 1 tablespoon and working up to 1/4 cup in

grapefruit juice every morning first thing.

Another recommendation:

To get a lazy gall bladder into action by simply taking 1-2 tablespoons of

olive oil before each meal. This starts the flow of bile before the rest of

the food enters the stomach. You may experience some indigestion the first few

days, but you'll see a marked improvement in two weeks.

Testimony

Vinegar has been used to relieve gall bladder pain. One woman wrote: " My

husband and I both were bothered with gall bladder pains for about a year.

When talking with a naturopath he told up to take, first thing in the morning

before anything else, 1 ounce of vegetable oil and follow with 4 ounces of

grapefruit juice......we substituted 4 ounces of water with a teaspoon of

vinegar.

We were never bothered again with any pains..a year later we ran out of oil

and didn't not use any for three weeks. The gall bladder pains returned, but

immediately left as soon as we started the oil and vinegar water again. Now

another year has gone and we are still not bothered with gall bladder pains. "

Squash is extremely high in vitamin A. Experiments have proven that foods

high in vitamin A dissolve gallstones and prevent them from forming. Parsley,

also high in vitamin A, is excellent to help relieve a congested liver and

gall balder. Other foods that help cleanse and empty a congested gall bladder

include grapefruit, gooseberries, endives and dandelion greens ( which are also

helpful in cleansing the spleen).

Lecithin, a fat-dissolver produced by the body, and available in foods,

seems to liquify cholesterol, an important substance in gallstones. Among the

foods high in lecithin are soybeans and sunflower seeds. Foods that stimulate

increased production of lecithin by the body are Brewer's yeast, nuts

(especially walnuts) and unrefined grains. These foods, therefore, help prevent

gallstones, for the thickened, gritty, impure and coagulating bile, stagnating

in a

swollen gall bladder, forming stones, is dissolved by lecithin.

jill, you are assuming that the negative effect you felt from the gold coin

grass is from the gcg directly. this may or may not be true. another

possibility is that the gold coin grass is doing exactly what it is intended

to do - dissolving the(estrogenic?) waste in your liver ( and other organs),

and you are feeling a cleansing reaction. other people have reported feeling

horrible on gcg as well. i would tend to think this is what is happening. in

either case the point is moot if you are unable or unwilling to continue.

after talking with many chinese herbalists through the years, i learned that

they never prescribe gcg alone. it is always in combination with other herbs

( like blood cleansers) used to balance the equation to prevent exactly what

you are experiencing, or at least diminish the negative effects. herbalism

is alot more complicated than people think.

things that dissolve liver waste gradually can be more problematic than the

flush because this dissolved waste is liquified and then is still trapped in

the liver. then it will enter the bloodstream and you will feel horrible.

this will happen as long as the liver is plugged. once a path opens in the

liver for bile to escape then you start to feel well and recover. but this

is no easy task as you are learning. and it can also be cyclical causing

alot of confusion to a person who is self treating.

pick your poison, flush the liver mechanically or dissolve the waste. there

is no easy answer that i am aware of in the alternative health world. to

find an easy answer you will have to become a magician or a pioneer.

Hi Jill. We have discussed this on the beck-n-stuff

list a little bit. There are a number of people in the natural health

field who recommend a milder flush than the typical hulda clark flush.

Often it is a morning flush and is just a tablespoon of olive oil and

the juice of one lemon.

Another, Shulze, is a morning flush with eight oz of citurs

juice, 8 oz of water one garlic clove and similar amount of ginger.

Increasing by one tablespoon of oil and one garlic and ginger each day

for five days, I think. With your sensitivity to plant estrogens, the

ginger wouldn't probably be a good idea. http://www.curezone.com for

recipe The garlic could be a good addition if you are dealing with any

infection. He recommends that this be followed with his kidney and

liver detox teas (two hours later) or two cups of chaparral.

But I have heard of people having good results in cleansing the liver

and gall bladder with just one tablespoon of O Oil with the juice of one

lemon or similar amount of grapefruti juice in the morning for a week to

a month. Some people do it for life.

It is mild and yet remarkably effective in a gentle way.

Considering your sensitivity you might want to try this for a week

before doing a major flush. And if this was too much for you, then you

could be pretty certain that the full blown HC flush might be challenging.

Hi Jill. Well with the addition of a little oil you might be

surprised. It is the mix that does the trick. And people who deal with

serioius health issues do this and find it very beneficial. OHI, for

instance.

And I think that grapefruit is supposed to be the best, biochemically.

I don't know why. I am going to go research right now to see if I can

find out why. Smile.

Have a good trip
