The Juice Feast Diary

Dear friends,

I’m superbly ecstatic to announce that just three days ago I have embarked on a new journey, that I’m sure will be life-changing for me. I’m extremely excited about this, as what I’m about to experience is the most healing process that I imagine my body (and my soul) could ever go through; 100 days of no solid food but only fresh juices!!! Today is the day 3 and I already feel wonderful, inspired, pure and at the same time I feel deep love for myself.

Colon Cleanse experience

About the cleanse

Hi all, I’m really happy you are reading this article, because I do believe, if you decide to do this cleanse, you will seriously improve your health. This cleanse lasts 28 days, it cleanses your colon thoroughly and removes the muciod plague…a horrible stuff that is stuck to walls of our intestines after years of bad eating habits. This stuff is highly toxic and it is not only the nest of all toxic residue, unhealthy bacteria and various parasites, but it also affects our every day nutrient absorption. So however healthy you eat today, unless you clean your colon, you won’t be able to receive all the precious nutrients cause this stuff (the muciod plague) is stuck on the intestines walls and it is like a barricade! It stops the nutrients from getting through absorbed!

The Liver & Gallbladder cleanse

Hello my friends!

I have just completed another liver & gallbladder cleanse and I’m feeling so great, that I thought I need to share this experience with you! I do hope to inspire you to do this cleanse as well, as it is a very important step towards improving your health. I’ve got rid of some hundred gallstones and some of them I managed to collect, so I could take pictures of them. Do see the images attached (sorry, it’s nothing nice to see, but it’s important that you have a look at what you TOO carry inside of you!).

 

Yes, we ALL have these stones! Well, actually let me correct myself, those of you who have been on a raw organic vegan diet since childhood, might not have these stones. The rest of you please read on.

This cleanse is the easiest cleanse I have ever done and yet so rewarding! Imagine people go through surgeries to get rid of these stones and you can actually do the same thing by yourself, in your own home and with no extra cost of any expensive products!

It’s important to point out that this whole process is also absolutely painless! In fact I had to stare inside the toilet to see the stones were really there, as I couldn’t feel a thing when they were coming out of me! However disgusting this may sound, believe me, you’ll be happy when you see the stones floating in the toilet, cause you’ll know your health has already started improving.

So how do the stones actually form?

The stones are result of years of eating “bad oils” (you know - those chips, fried foods, pizza, mayonnaise, margarine, breads, cookies and pastries…are all full of toxic oils, trans fatty acids and so on). These foods are a total killer for liver and gallbladder and cause a huge congestion. You can picture it as a sewer that is partially blocked - and worse yet, which starts “backing up”, creating all sorts of symptoms such as irritability, poor digestion, dry skin, difficulty sleeping, depression, back ache and much more.

Gallstones are formed in the liver and few of them also occur in gallbladder. There are over half a dozen varieties, most of which have cholesterol crystals in them. They can be black, red, white, green or tan colored.

As the stones grow and become more numerous the back-pressure on the liver causes it to make less bile. Imagine the situation if your garden hose had marbles in it. Much less water would flow, which in turn would decrease the ability of the hose to squirt out the marbles. With gallstones, much less cholesterol is able to leave the body, and so the cholesterol levels rise ad rise.

Gallstones, being porous, can pick up all the bacteria, cysts, viruses and parasites that are passing through the liver. In this way “nests” of infection are formed, forever supplying the body with fresh bacteria! No stomach infection such as ulcers or intestinal bloating can be cured permanently without removing these gallstones from the liver.

What benefits can you expect from doing this cleanse?

Cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear, too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. You will have more energy and increased sense of well-being.

The liver & gallbladder flush procedure

Almost every person suffering any chronic illness has excessive amounts of gallstones in the liver. Cleansing the liver and gallbladder from gallstones is one of the most important and powerful approaches you can take to improve your overall health.

The cleanse takes 6 days (5 days for preparation and the 6th day for the actual flush). You will be eliminating the stones for two days after the flush so it is good to keep the diet light and healthy for about 8 days altogether. You can eat a regular three meals per day but you will need to eliminate: diary, meat (fish included), all fried foods and any cold or chilled beverages.

Avoid taking any medications, vitamins or supplements that are not absolutely necessary. It is important not to give the liver any extra work that could interfere with its cleansing efforts. If you are presently on any medication, do consult this with your physician.

Have enough of liquids (at least 6-8 glasses per day) but do not have anything cold or chilled as they chill the liver and therefore reduce the effectiveness of the cleanse! Room temperature of warm drinks such as herb teas are fine. Do avoid caffeinated drinks, sodas included. Otherwise, you can eat normal, but avoid overeating. Just take it easy, that’s all.

Preparation - The first 5 days

For the first 5 days all you do is drink 32 oz of apple juice a day (you may drink more if you feel like). Make sure you drink the juice only on empty stomach that means either half an hour before or 2 hours after food. Basically the juice shouldn’t be mixing with other food in your stomach. The best would be to make your juice at home, but you can also use a packaged juice, it will work the same. In case you do use package juice, make sure you buy 100% juice with no sugar or anything else added.

You may want to brush your teeth after drinking the apple juice, in case you find it hard on your teeth. Or you may just rinse your mouth with water or baking soda.

And why do you need all this apple juice? That’s because apples contain malic acid that softens all the gallstones so they can pass through the bile ducts smooth and easy.

That’s all you need to do for the first five days. Otherwise you will be able to function during the day same as usual. So you can pretty much start today itself! Just start drinking apple juice (32 oz per day)! No other preparation is needed!

The flush – the 6th day

Preferably, plan the flush (the 6th day) for the weekend, or any day that you are not really busy, even though all you need, is to be free and at home by 6pm. Avoid doing the actual flush on full moon day as the body tends to hold more fluids.

You will need:

-  32 oz of apple juice

- 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). You       should be able to buy this in your local natural food store or   pharmacy.  If it is not available, use magnesium citrate.

-       4 oz of extra virgin olive oil. Make sure that what you are using is really an extra virgin olive oil as some of the olive oils can be mixed with other oils and you won’t even know! Read the label!

-       6 oz of fresh grapefruit juice (pink grapefruit is the best). If you can’t get grapefruit, you can use fresh lemon and orange combined.

On the 6th day, drink all the apple juice in the morning. If you can’t take so much juice on an empty stomach, you can dilute it. I like to dilute it with a bit of warm water.

You may start drinking the juice right after waking up. If you feel hungry in the morning, eat light breakfast, such as fruit, cereal or oatmeal. Avoid sugar, or other sweeteners, spices, milk, butter, oils, yogurt, cheese, ham, eggs, nuts, pastries, or anything cold.

For lunch eat plain cooked or steamed vegetables with rice and flavor it with little unrefined sea or rock salt. As for myself, I like to have thick vegetable soup, fruits or smoothie (with no milk).

Make sure you do not eat any protein foods, butter or oil! Or you might feel ill during the flush!

After 1.30pm, do not eat or drink anything except water otherwise you may have difficulties passing the stones.

Make sure you follow the instructions exactly to the point.

6.00pm

Add 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts to a total of 24 ounces (three 8-oz glasses) of filtered water in a jar. Mix properly and then separate this into four glasses, each will have 6-oz of the liquid. Drink the first portion (one glass) right away.

You may take extra sip of water afterwards to rinse your mouth or you may add a little bit of lemon juice in it to improve the taste. Drinking it while you hold your nostrils will make it easier as it is a bit bitter. The Epsom salts will widen the bile ducts, making it easy for the stones to travel out.

 

8.00pm

Drink a second glass of the Epsom salts water.

 

9.30pm

If you have not had a bowel movement until now and have not done colon cleanse within the past 24 hours, take a water enema now. This will trigger a series of bowel movements.

 

9.45pm

Thoroughly wash the grapefruits (or orange and lemon) and squeeze the juice out of them. Remove all the pulp. You will need ¾ glass of juice. Pour it into a pint jar and add ½ glass of extra virgin olive oil into it. Close the jar tightly and shake it hard, about 20 times, until the solution mixes.

Now go to the bathroom (so you don’t need to get up later).

 

10.00pm

Get ready for bed, turn the lights off and then stand next to the bed (do not sit down) and drink the mixture, if possible, without interruption. Some people prefer to drink it with a straw. You can drink it while keeping your nostrils closed in case you don’t like the taste, but I don’t actually find it disgusting or hard to swallow at all. Do not take more than 5 minutes to drink all of it and once you take the last sip, immediately lie down.

This is essential for helping to release the gallstones! Lie flat on your back with one or two pillows below your head. Your head needs to be higher than your stomach. Lie perfectly still for at least 20 minutes and do not speak! Some people like to put a castor oil pack over the liver area. It’s not necessary but it feels nice.

Soon you might feel the stones traveling along the bile ducts. There won’t be any spasm or pain, because the Epsom salts had widened the passage. In fact, you might not feel anything at all.

Now go to sleep if you can.

If anytime during the night, you feel the urge to have a bowel movement, do so. Check if there are already any small gallstones floating in the toilet. They are green or tan-colored and if you don’t look closely, you may likely miss them. But they will float on top. You may feel nauseated during the night (I didn’t feel anything, but it depends person to person). Nausea might occur due to a strong, sudden outpouring of gallstones and toxins from liver and gallbladder.

 

The next morning

6.00-6.30am

Upon waking, but not before 6:00 am, drink your third glass of Epsom Salts. If you feel thirsty, drink a glass of water before taking the salts. You can go ahead with your morning routine or just rest or read. You can also do some light exercise or yoga. If you feel sleepy, you may also go back to sleep, even though it may be better to remain in an upright position, but whatever you feel like is fine.

 

8.00-8.30am

Drink the fourth and last glass of Epsom salts.

 

10.00-10.30am

You may drink freshly squeezed fruit juices at this time. Half an hour later, you may eat one or two pieces of fresh fruit. One hour later you may eat regular (but light) food. By the evening or the next morning you should feel the first signs of improvement.

Continue to eat light meals during the following 2-3 days. Remember, your liver and gallbladder have undergone major ‘surgery’ but without the harmful side affects or the expense!

Drink water whenever you are thirsty, except right after drinking Epsom salts and for the first two hours after drinking the oil mixture.


The results you can expect

During the morning and, perhaps, afternoon hours following the flush, you will have number of watery bowel movements. These consist of gallstones mixed with food residue, and then just stones mixed with water. Most of the gallstones are pea-green and float in the toilet. The stones will be in different shades of green and may be bright colored and shiny. Only bile from the liver can cause this green color. The lighter colored stones are the newest. Darker are oldest. There may be dozens and, sometimes, even hundreds of stones of different sized and colors coming out at once. Some of the larger tan or white stones may sink to the bottom with the stool so watch out for these. These are calcified gallstones that have been released from the gallbladder. You may also find layer of white or tan-colored foam floating in the toilet. The foam consists of millions of tiny white, sharp-edged cholesterol crystals, which can easily rupture small bile ducts. They are equally important to release.

To permanently cure bursitis, back pain, allergies, or other health problems, and to prevent diseases from arising, you will need to remove ALL the stones. This may require at least 8 to 12 flushes, which can be done at three-week or monthly intervals.  (Do not flush more frequently than that!)

You may take more time in between the flushes, but I find it ideal to flush once in a month. The important thing to remember is that once you have started cleansing the liver, you should keep cleansing it until no more stones come out during two consecutive flushes. Leaving the liver half clean for a longer period of time (three or four months) may cause greater discomfort than not cleansing it al all!

The liver will begin to function more efficiently soon after the first flush, and you may notice sudden improvements, sometimes within several hours. Pain will lessen, energy will increase and clarity of mind will improve considerably.

If two consecutive flushes no longer produce any stones (which usually takes 6-12 flushes), your liver can be considered stone free. Nevertheless, it is recommended that you repeat the liver flush every six to eight months. Each flush will give a further boost to the liver and take care of any toxins or new stones that may have accumulated in the meantime.

 

Caution:

Some people experience bloating or slight diarrhea during these 6 days. If that’s your case, don’t worry about it. Much of the diarrhea is actually stagnant bile, released by the liver and gallbladder.

Never cleanse when you are suffering an acute illness, even if it is just a simple cold. If you suffer from a chronic illness, however, cleansing your liver may be the best thing you can do for yourself.

If you are taking medical drugs, wait until you have been off them all for at least one month (or longer) before starting the flush procedure.

Another important thing is, it is likely that on their way out, some stones may be caught in the colon. They can be quickly removed through colonic irrigation. This should be ideally done on the second or third day after the flush. If gallstones remain in the colon, they can cause irritation, infection, headache, abdominal discomfort, thyroid problems and so on.

If colonics are not available where you stay, you can do enema at home (using coffee) or else, do 2 or 3 consecutive water enemas. But colonics will be always more affective!

Doing colonics (or enema) on the 6th day will also help to avoid or minimize any discomfort or nausea that may arise during the actual liver flush. It also helps to clear the colon from any obstacles when you start passing the gallstones.

It is also recommended to do parasite cleanse, kidney cleanse and colon cleanse before you do this cleanse. That’s because you want your kidneys, bladder, colon and urinary tract in top working condition so they can efficiently remove the stones.

 

Now remember, once you start doing this cleanse, you will need to eliminate ALL the stones… The first cleanse may rid you of them for a few days, but as the stones from the rear travel forward, they give you the same symptoms again.

 

If you do this flush exactly as described here, it will all go smooth with no complications. I have done this cleanse several times myself and continue doing so and I have never had any problems whatsoever, only felt more and more amazing after every flush. I do highly recommend you to get the book that has taught me this cleanse, which is: ‘The amazing Liver and Gallbladder flush’ by Andreas Moritz. (The actual flush procedure I have written here is copied word from the book).

 

If you have any more questions regarding the flush, I’d highly recommend you to get this book. You can get it at Amazon:

All the best! I assure you doing this will radically improve your health!!!!
