My experience with the amazing liver and gallbladder flush – the most powerful yet economical detox that I have done to eliminate a wide range of medical symptoms. I am confident that my experience will provide you insights and possibly an alternative option to consider for your self-healing.
As I shared in my previous stories, my health recovery plateaued after 2 years of fighting severe fibromyalgia pain with Traditional Chinese Medicine; although my conditions were no longer critical, I was struggling to no end with a long list of mysterious and chronic symptoms, from mild pain to PMS. After I took my anxiety and insomnia under control, I decided it was the right time to start a series of liver and gallbladder flushes in 2015, following the protocols in Andreas Moritz’s book, “The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush”.
After I detoxed my liver, I continued to detox other aspects of my life. You may also find the following blog posts helpful:

Why I Chose The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush
For 10 years before I finally tried the liver and gallbladder flush, I had listened to my cousin-in-law singing the praises of this detox method and sharing anecdotes supporting its effectiveness. Naturally I am an analytical person who need to study a topic to form my own opinion, so I picked up Andreas Moritz’s book, “The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush”.
The book went into details on the health risks of gallstones, cause of gallstones, how to get rid of gallstones with the flush, as well as many other tips for achieving and maintaining good health. I understood the biological mechanism of the liver and gallbladder flush from the book, and I was impressed by how simple, cost effective and low risk the method is for significant benefits achieved in a short amount of time.
Being the largest organ in the body, our liver has hundreds of functions. A congested liver has effects on rest of the body. The purpose of the liver and gallbladder flush is to eliminate that congestion in order to improve our overall health in a multitude of ways. Most of us have congestion in our liver, if we had – at some point of our lives – taken medication, eaten processed foods, undergone stress and illnesses, etc. For obvious reasons, I believe doing the liver and gallbladder flush is helpful for almost everyone who want to detox their liver.
If you have some of the following symptoms shown in the next image, you will benefit from a liver and gallbladder flush. The photocopy is taken from the book. Buy “The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush” here.
My husband was the first in the family to try the liver and gallbladder flush in 2013. He successfully brought his elevated bilirubin level to normal. My husband’s success gave me more confidence to use the liver and gallbladder flush as the last resort to tackle my remaining symptoms of fibromyalgia after I exhausted all other options. Subsequently, I used this detox on both of my children as well.
The Experience
Before the Flush
As I took caution about any form of detox that may weaken my body, I didn’t attempt the liver and gallbladder flush until I was able to rebuild my strength after my health crisis. My body simply wasn’t ready until the summer of 2015. I made sure that I felt strong enough to go through a period of detox before I dived in.
My list of discomforts before I began the liver and gallbladder flush ran long. I had all the usual symptoms of fibromyalgia, including sore muscles, achy joints, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, frequent flus, poor quality of sleep; I also had a chronic yeast infection and suffered from serious PMS, and all of my fibromyalgia symptoms would worsen during the 2 weeks before menstruation.
The Period of Detox
I expected that a series of flushes were required to reduce or eliminate my symptoms. Most adults have at least thousands of gallstones already accumulated in their liver and gallbladder, so expect at least 8 to 12 flushes before seeing significant improvement. It’s easy to get unrealistic about the results you wish to achieve. However, the process may take some time for some people.
The first few flushes often push the gallstones forward to the opening of the bile duct. Sometimes it’s not unusual to see very few stones expelled during the first few flushes, and it may even lead to worsening of the symptoms temporarily. But as the gallstones are pushed out of the pathway, you may experience more stones eliminated in the following flushes, as least in my own experience. The biggest stone I expelled was about 1 inch long and half inch wide about 7 or 8 flushes into the process. After more than a dozen flushes, all of my symptoms have been either reduced to the point that they no longer interfere with my life or completely unnoticeable.
Note that your experience could be completely different from mine. You may be lucky and expel hundreds of stones in your very first flush, and it may take only a few flushes for you to permanently eliminate a symptom. Be sure to listen to your own body. Sometimes you will feel a lot better right after a flush, and in a week the symptom returns, which means more stones have likely moved forward from the back of your liver and you need to do another flush again soon.
Frequency
Once you start the first liver and gallbladder flush, it’s best to continue on a regular schedule until you feel significant improvement with your symptoms. Ideally aim to have the flushes every 3 to 7 weeks in the beginning. Doing another liver and gallbladder flush sooner than 3 weeks isn’t recommended, as your liver needs time to rest. Waiting longer than 7 weeks may lead to negative effects by the exacerbated congestion in the liver.
I also avoided the liver and gallbladder flush during menstruation, as I wanted my body to handle only 1 major event at a time. My early flushes are between 1 and 2 months apart; as my symptoms reduced, I would wait for 3 months in between flushes. It took me about 2 years of doing the liver and gallbladder flush to feel my normal self again.
Maintenance
To this day, I have been doing the liver and gallbladder flush for almost 5 years. I have lost count of the exact number of flushes, but it’s somewhere over 20. When I started the liver and gallbladder flush in the beginning, I was hoping for one day to have a clean liver when I got no stones after a flush. Over time I realized that the stones would keep on coming with each flush, because our body keeps producing them when we don’t eat well, are exposed to environmental toxins, get sick and stressed.
The key measure isn’t whether we still get stones with each flush, but how healthy we feel. After I eliminated most of my symptoms, I went on a schedule of doing a flush every 3 to 6 months for maintenance. I learned to be in tune with the sensations inside my body too – when my liver and gallbladder are congested, I could feel the pressure in my upper right side of the abdomen, which is a sign for me to plan the next flush.
The liver and gallbladder flush is a detox method I will be incorporating into my health routine for the rest of my life.
How to Do the Liver and Gallbladder Flush
The Method
You will need to commit 2 days to perform this liver and gallbladder flush. The first day consists of fasting and consuming 3 drinks at specific time. You can still be out and about, as long as you can stick to the dietary requirement and the schedule. The second day consists of consuming the remaining 2 drinks and the elimination of the gallstones. You should plan the second day to be home to access the washroom.
What you need for the liver and gallbladder flush:
- 4 tbsp food grade Epsom salt (I altered the Epsom salt to 3 tbsp based on my experience as I have a small build. 4 tbsp is recommended for average adult.)
- 3 cups of filtered water
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large grape fruit (or 2 small grape fruits. The goal is to make 3/4 cup of freshly squeezed grape fruit juice.)
Follow the schedule below for the flush (you should drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and can do so at any time which is not included in the schedule):
- Day 1, before 2pm: You are not allowed to eat anything containing fat or protein, because fat and protein will trigger the release of bile. The goal is to save up the bile to be released all at once to flush out the gallstones. You shouldn’t starve yourself, so be sure to eat a filling breakfast and lunch, such as oatmeal, banana, steamed potato and yam, steamed broccoli, apple, berries, etc.
- Day 1, after 2pm: You are not allowed to eat foods, but you can and should still drink water as needed.
- Day 1, 6pm: Dissolve 4 tbsp Epsom salt into 3 cups of filtered water, then divide up into 4 equal portions. Each portion is 3/4 cup. Drink the first Epsom salt drink.
- Day 1, 8pm: Drink the second Epsom salt drink.
- Day 1, 9:45pm: Ideally you should have had a bowel movement by now. Squeeze the grape fruits to make 3/4 cup of fresh grapefruit juice. Mix the grapefruit juice with 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil.
- Day 1, 10pm: Drink the grapefruit and olive oil mixture and lie down immediately. Try to go to sleep.
- Day 2, 6:30am (or whenever you wake up): Drink the third Epsom salt drink.
- Day 2, 8:30am (or 2 hours after the previous step): Drink the fourth Epsom salt drink.
- Day 2, 10:30am (or 2 hours after the previous step): You may start to eat again.
I am only explaining the basics of the liver and gallbladder flush with my own experience. I highly recommend you to pick up Andreas Moritz’s book. In the book, he detailed what you need to do to prepare for the flush the week ahead, and what to do to detox other organs, such as the colon and kidney, in between of the liver and gallbladder flushes. You can read my kidney cleanse experience using Andreas Moritz’s method.
What to Expect
The first 2 Epsom salt drinks act to dilate the bile ducts inside the liver. The olive oil and grapefruit drink will trigger a release of bile that had been saved up for over 24 hours. This large amount of bile will push the gallstones out of the bile ducts into the intestines.
Throughout the first night and the second day, you can expect to have diarrhea due to Epsom salt’s laxative effects, and see gallstones in there. Gallstones are very easy to spot. They are usually fluorescent green, the colour of bile, and of the texture of playdough, as they are largely made out of cholesterols.
Gallstones expelled from a liver and gallbladder flush. Some turned from green to brown as they dried out.
You may feel more energy and immediate relief of certain symptoms in the next few days. If your symptoms return in a week, it’s totally normal and it just means you have more gallstones in your liver and you need to do the flush again.
If you tried the amazing liver and gallbladder flush, I would love to hear about your experience in the comment below!
More stories about my family’s liver flush experience:
When I last did the liver/gallbladder flush I started having diarrhea throughout the night. I did not sleep at all. And I did not pass any stones.
The first time I did the flush a couple of years ago it was with great success. Bowel movement once before bed. Slept all night and pass a lot of stones the next day.
I am afraid to do it again because of the early diarrhea issue. Any suggestions? Please email me personally.
Thanks
Hello ,
I tired the liver flush with great results, I estimate that I cleansed around a couple hundred stones of all sizes along with cholesterol chaff. I felt great until about 72 hours after the flush . I have felt bloated and have pain/gas after eating right below the rib cage on my right side. My question is should I wait the 3 weeks to do flush again or should I try the magnesium laxitives to help relax bile ducts and any stones that could be stuck. Any advice is appreciated.
I just finished my second flush. I did the first one a few months ago with a lot of stones flushed. This time I had a very hard time drinking the epsom salt, it would make me shudder and feel nausea. I drank the grapefruit and oil and about 4 am I couldn’t sleep. I got up to go to the bathroom and despite my efforts I threw up most of the grapefruit and oil. I’m not sure how that effected the cleanse. I still had some stones flushed. Any advice for avoiding nausea? Or did it still have some effectiveness if I passed stones?
When you do the apple juice 5 day prep are you allowed to eat ??
Yes, you are allowed to eat!
Hi , this is the 3rd day after the flush and I don’t feel good. I still feel pain in my right side and back at the same time in the middle of my abdomen. Is this normal? But I flushed multiple stones that varies in size.
Hi, such pain is typical of a stone (or a few) stuck in the bile ducts. Re-flush required.
Does he need to wait three weeks to do the re-flush. Th book says not to do it sooner than three weeks
Can you do a flush within a three days if you have pain symptoms? Can you just do the magnesium to dilate the bile ducts?
When is the soonest you can flush again?
I also did my first flush recently. I do experience some slight numbness on my right side.
How are you doing, did you solve this issue?
This saved me and I could find no other blog with the exact measurements. I was in pain and didn’t have time to read a book about it. (I since have).
After doing this once the pain was gone.
After doing it twice it only came back sporadically
After doing it three times I can eat whatever I want and haven’t had any gallbladder pain again.
I’m going to do this monthly for a year to make sure I’m good.
That’s so wonderful to hear!!!
I just finished my 1st flush this morning. At least 1000 stones came out, about 30 of them were 1.3 cm in length. They were green and brown with a claylike consistency, due to the malic acid. I broke them apart and they were green inside too. I felt them coming out like marbles, just like the book said I might. Fingers crossed this helps with my gallstones and insulin resistance as all are related, as you all probably know. Of course, I’ve changed diet as well, along with other things. I don’t want my gallbladder removed per dr recommendations.
I will start Gallbladder flushes soon (as I am travelling right now) I hope to improve my situation further as I have multiple stones with a accumulative size of 3cm.
An addition to this technique I have performed Hijama, an ancient healing method (blood cupping). I have had 3 sessions of cupping for my liver, gallbladder and pancreas. It has worked miraculously and rid of any gallbladder attacks to zero.
After my three session of Hijama, 6 Days Workout per week routine, optimum nutrition, my Fatty liver grade 2 became normal and gallbladder became stronger as I can occasionally eat big meals with meat, fat & carbs without any fear of Gallbladder attack. Praise to Allah!
Although I am pretty ok, but when I got a recent Ultrasound after 2 years to my surprise stones are still there, which now I know is also because I keep producing more and more.
Hoping & praying that the Gallbladder and Liver flush with improve it further until no stones are left behind 😉 Will report back shortly with my experience!
Salaam brother..i did the gallbladder/liver flush last week..i wasent expecting to see any stones..but Alhamdulillah there were hundreds all differant sizes..from a grain of sand to pea sized…they were brownish /yellow colour…i felt good for couple of days full of energy…but i still get bloating/slight nausea after eating..i will do another flush in 3 weeks time..i really dont want the gallbladder op which is booked for 25th october..i hope inshaAllah u get relef from ur pain
A word of warning too much magnesium can cause an irregular heartbeat and low blood pressure and the dosage of Epson Salts being suggested exceeds the recommended daily intake (read the product packet). Those with diagnosed or undiagnosed low blood pressure or cardiac issues should be careful. I just read the “Ending the Olive Oil Soap Stone Myth” and frankly its a load of Mumbo Jumbo. Biliary and Pancreatic secretions are alkaline so if you mix olive oil with alkaline digestive secretions then there is a good chance you will get saponification, if you increase gut motility with Epson salts then the saponificated fat is unlikely to be digested and will pass through. If the “stones” that are passed float on water it is almost definitely just saponated fat if they sink then they may or may not be stones, Saponated fat that is high in biliary fluid may look crystalline if it dries out. …… In short this gall stone remedy “might” help flush the gall bladder and “might” cause a gall stone to pass but do not be fooled into thinking that everything that comes out is a stone and there may be risks for some people e.g. triggering an acute obstruction. Certainly no reason to be doing this to children.
Great article. I wonder if anyone has similar experience to mine – I had no stones on an ultrasound, nothing on X-ray, blood tests roughly ok, basically everything seems ok; but I have constant pain/heavy feeling in my liver and gallbladder area, also pain after eating fatty foods. Pretty sure I had gallbladder attack twice, but it seemed to be more in my liver area. I eat well now but until my 30s I binged on chocolate all the time so I can’t believe I have nothing in my gallbladder. I did three flushes and no green stones came out yet, no difference in pain I feel. I think I’ll continue doing the flushes cause my gut tells me I’m really blocked but it would be great to know if anyone else also had to do more flushes to finally release stones.
On a side note, if you’re scared to do the flush, simply drinking a tablespoon of ACV in a glass of water always helps me with my pains.
Update! I have since done 4 more flushes and successfully released lots of green stones. So I guess it just takes longer for some people. The feeling of heaviness in my liver is still there and I don’t feel that different yet; in fact, as you mentioned in the article after some flushes some of my symptoms even flare up. In total I probably only released about 400 stones ( mostly pea sized and smaller, and about 6 that were between 1-2 cm), so if you think there are thousands I probably still have a long way to go. I also now understand that the green stones don’t show up on ultrasounds, because they are mostly made of hardened bile, and they are located in the liver, not gallbladder as I initially thought.
I am only 33 but I already had early stage cancer; I believe my body is probably more congested than most people. All my health conditions, including cancer and endometriosis, relate to too much estrogen; which is in turn related to poorly working liver and not enough bile. So it makes sense for the liver flush to be the answer. I will continue doing it for as long as it takes! In between the cleanses, I’m mostly on the Gerson diet which I recommend everyone with cancer to look into. The diet is easy on the liver so it really helps to alleviate my symptoms.
No problem…I’ve gotten some really big stones out…Or cholesterol balls, I was truly shocked…as big as marbles or bigger!
Hi diane…so glad u got urs out..i did the flush lastweek and wasentrealky expecting to see anything in toilet..i put a plastic colander in toilet bowl and to ny surprise there were over a hundred stones from tiny to pea sized..mine were dark colour more browny/yellowy…i was already on low fat diet for past 3 months after having episode after episode of the worst pain ever lasting for upto 7 hrs…since been on lowfat diet and eating sensibly i now have not had an attack for 7 weeks..but still get the bloating/slight nausea after eating…will do second flush in 3 weeks and see if anymirestones come out…x
I just completed my first cleanse . I can’t believe what came out of my body . I did that actual olive oil/grapefruit part on Thursday night. I thought when I went to bed last night I was done passing them but It’s now Saturday morning and I just passed much bigger stones . How many days can I expect this for ? I
I am so happy with what came out I cant wait to do it again
did you check if the gallstones came out? im going to try this asap!!!
Hello!
I know the cleanse calls for a colonic pre and post. I don’t think this is even available where I live. Did you do the colonic or did you get those results without it? Thanks
Get an enema kit and do an enema yourself.
Hi tina…i didnt do the pre colon cleanse or after the flush…i reckon the flush is a pretty much colon cleanse any way after all that diairrea lol!
Did my first flush a few weeks ago with no bowel movements the first night. In fact, had some of the best sleep on my life. I think I may have been deficient in magnesium. Really, slept unbelievably well. No issues getting the oil concoction down. I love fat and oil and regularly drink tablespoons of it randomly (when not doing a cleanse). I actually messed up and did the oil with OJ because I thought it was a grapefruit lol. Perhaps that also influenced my lack of bowel movements. By the morning still no BMs and I was thinking this is really stupid!! Then I saw the multi colored stones and became a believer. I felt the marble sensation with the morning drinks as well. Really thrilled I never got nauseated at all and had zero pain. I only had about 50 stones but perhaps it’s due to mixing up the OJ/grapefruit situation. I felt so full of emotional and social energy that afternoon! Felt younger! My knee ache cleared up, my menstrual cycle became longer the way it was for the first 28 years of my life, skin has been looking way better, less purple under my eyes too. My boost in energy didn’t last too long unfortunately but I believe I’m quite congested. Today is day 6 of my 2nd cleanse!
Has anyone with cirrhosis done the flush?
You should check with your doctor…these flushes are pretty hard on the liver.
Hey there,
I don’t see you mention in this blog re the liver flush, that for 5 days prior to the flush, you are supposed to drink 1 liter of apple juice per day! That is clearly mentioned in the book, with dietery recommendations as well. To not include the applejuice can have a very different affect on the flush as the acid from the apples is necessary key compononent. Have you had results withouth using the apple juice? Also the author writes to do a flush 2 times a year. When you say you did it every 7 weeks for some time, did you do the 5 days of apple juice also? Or just the flush part of the cleanse? I have fribomyalgia also, and def feel i need to clear liver. I have done this flush once, and had good results (with drinking apple juice for 5 days!).
Thanks, Siri
She most likely just forgot to add the apple juice part to the cleanse. Fyi though, I’ve done many of these flushes/cleanses and have never taken apple juice. I take 1 tsp of Orthophosphoric acid bought off Amazon ofc for the 5days of prep. It works like a charm, everytime. It is an alternate to drinking all that apple juice with sugar. Hope this helps.
Hi, Does this cause horrible stomach pains? I pass out sometimes when I have the flu and it makes me nervous to do this but I think I just recently had a gall bladder attack and my upper right stomach under ribs has been sore after eating sometimes. Not severe just frustrating to notice something. I have been doing digestive enzymes but I remembered about this book and went to search some info on it. Anxious about the passing out factor. I have vasel vagel so it is typical triggered by pain/trauma etc.
I’m just finishing my second cleanse and I’ve experienced no pain at all. You are meant to drink apple juice (for the malic acid)for six days before the cleanse to soften any hardness of the gallstones. I think the most unpleasant thing this time has been drinking the Epsom salts. No pain, just a slight feeling of nausea.
You can take Calm Magnesium at the same dose as the Epsom Salt as an alternative. It’s a lot easier as far as nausea goes. Most, find Epsom salts to be nausea and vomiting inducing.
Hope this helps.
Hello! My SIL and BIL have tried it and had positive impact on their health. They introduced me with this technique and gave me this miracle book 8 years back. That time I was pregnant so didn’t do it and with time forgot it. Few months back I found that book and started doing apple juice treatment following 6days procedure step by step. Today I finished 3rd flush and have already passed more than 500 stones ranging from 1mm to 12 mm. On sixth day I feel weakness. But the positive side is that my skin allergies disappeared, lower backache has reduced a lot, appetite has decreased , I feel much more energetic with each cleanse. Hope it resolves all ailments as mentioned in book.
Hi have you performed any ultrasound tests post that. I have 13mm large one and multiple stones. If you are from India could you please share link for food grade Epsom salt.
Hi! I’ve had one big gallstone for about 8 years now. At first I experienced biliary colics (=very strong pain) 1-2 per year after a heavy meal. Slowly it began to happen more often and, after around 4 years, I had them almost daily, after every and any meal…even after a simple smoothie. It was truly horrible and every doctor advised me to have my gallbladder removed…about 10 in total. I figured I’d give the flush a try and, if nothing happened, I’d have the surgery. So I’ve been doing this for about 3 years now. Initially I did it once per month, then once every 2-3 months and now I do it every 6-8 months. Since I have started doing this I have not experienced any more (severe) colics. I feel it in my body when I need to do the cleanse again, because I start feeling uncomfortable after a heavy meal (no pain), my under eye circles darken, my skin gets a slightly yellow tinge.
I can eat anything I want (meat, fat, fried food, sweets, soft drinks … you name it) and still feel amazing.
Now here’s the thing though: I had a check-up a few months ago (so about 3 years after my first flush): The stone is still there. While the stone is still there, my gallbladder doesn’t look inflamed anymore and it’s really just the stone (before the first flush I had a stone and the gallbladder was stuffed with sludge, the latter is now gone). So for me it was worth it: It improved my life so much! But it is risky so I recommend you talk to a doctor about it. So far almost all flushes went without issues for me except the first, where my body was so overwhelmed that I started throwing up too (about 4h after my last dose of epsom salts) and during another one I passed out! So be very, very careful. Also a few times I have had hemorrhoids 1-2 days after a flush.
That being said I continue doing it, because the results (for me) have been nothing short of amazing. I can eat and drink anything I want without issue, I feel energized, I rarely have any stomach issues (like flatulence🙈) … but just keep in mind that it’s risky.
Hiii..i am also from India . I have single gallstone of 8.3 mm Did you try this liver and gallstone flush thing?
Did you do this while breastfeeding by chance? I am considering this cleanse but don’t know if it is safe to do while BF. What was your experience?
Thanks for the post. Your post gave me more confidence to try out. Tried last night and flushed over 200 of them. Over 8 were almost 1 cm.
I did a liver cleanse about 4 or 5 years ago. All my tests told me my liver was fine until I did a magnetic scan and the practitioner read my results with alarm saying I had an extremely fatty liver and I needed to do a cleanse quick smart or I would be in all sorts of trouble. The cleanse I did involved 350ml of Organic Olive oil with lemon juice which I had to take in small shot glass amounts. I didn’t do any of the Epsom Salts prior and could not face it the next day due to feeling so hungover : 0 – but the stones I passed – Oh Lord. There was hundreds and some big ones – like the size of a Tommy Bowler marble. I was very hungover the next day until about 11am then back to normal. Gradually over the next two months I lost 8KG!!!! It fell off me. My appetite reduced dramatically and I couldn’t fit anywhere near the same amount of food in. As time has passed, I have progressively gained the weight again due to some poor food choices so I’m going to bite the bullet and do another and hope I get the same results. I found it very challenging to get all that olive oil down – was a lot of gagging involved but soooo worth it.
Does this help with weight loss?
gallbladder sludge and small gallstones wall thickening
what can I do to prevent my gallbladder being removed
I want to try the flush, but can I use olive oil and lemon juice instead of grapefruit juice?
Thank you for your response.
Yes you can. In the book it says you can substitute the grapefruit in that mixture with lemon or oranges instead
I did this flush by the book and did the colonics before and after. I guess I am a rare case. I had a stone stuck a couple days after the last colonic and it was big. I was constipated for a couple of days and created pain in my bowel. I was able to flush it out due to Epsom salts. But the pain remains and I’m constipated again. But has anyone have anything like this happen to them? I’m worried I have to go to the doctor and get a colonoscopy to see what’s wrong with my intestines. I did lose weight and have kept it off and have changed my eating habits
Your body may be still releasing stone. Try taking malic acid to soften the stones and drink ionized water
Thank you! I am doing the flush again tomorrow. Prepared for 5 days with Malic Acid. I think I just have lots to release
May I ask what your outcome was?
HI, can I use Apple Juice instead of Grapefruit? Is that advisable? I really would appreciate your response. Thank yu
No, you should stick with grape fruit juice if you can. Apple juice won’t stimulate the release of bile.
Hello mam .i m 25 yrs old …i just finished my flush last night but i didnt got any stones only greeny substance comes out..does that mean it didnt worked out for me.. or do i didnt dont the process correctly.

And mam another question as prescribed by the author to do colonics can i use the epsom salt to clean my colon after the flush next day.
Plz reply mam
Do it again after a month…sometimes no stones appear,,,,,,,,
Thank you for sharing this. I have done this twice. The 1st time I became extremely sick about midnight (August 2021) and it took about 2 days to recover between feeling sick and lack of sleep. When I recovered I had more energy than my kids. This slowly regressed as this article stated since stones move and causes issues until they are basically all flushed. Last night was my 2nd time and I have been craving the icky feeling from the 1st time since about a month afterwards. Last night my body insisted it had to be done. I did skip the last laxative as I had to go to work early. Midnight (just like with the 1st time), was when everything started flushing out. I didn’t have a BM until midnight with the 2nd time. I actually had significantly less BM’s, so maybe I wasn’t as bound as the 1st time. I think my 1st time I had like 200 stones, this time was about 100. I already feel recovered so it seems it improves as you go.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you so much for sharing this information, I’ve found it else where but I feel your info helps for a better understanding.
Today is Boxing Day 2021, @ 4:35pm in the UK. I’m starting this flush today, I’ve been fasting since 7:30pm yesterday (Christmas Day 2021). I’ve just had first dose of Epsom Salts,, wow i didn’t realise it was so bitter.. next one around 6:30 pm 🙂
Wish me luck
The flush is legit. I’ve done it several times so far and each time multiple stones are expelled. The first time I performed the flush, I literally could feel the stones moving down into my instestines just like Moritz explained in the book. It felt just like marbles moving inside of my body. Also keep in mind that the flush is mainly intended to flush the INTRAHEPATIC stones out of the ducts inside of the liver. Yes, it flushes the gallbladder, but the source of illness and dis-ease is due to the stones that are inside of the liver. When they are expelled during the flushes, they will be the green, pea size stones you will see. Those come from the liver. Don’t from one minute believe any garbage article from the mainstream slamming the flush as false. It is without a doubt real. Andreas also explains all of this in the book, so I highly recommend reading the entire book.
Thank you so so much for sharing your story and additional information! This is very helpful. Yes, the book is a must-read for anyone who wants to improve their health in a holistic way using detox.
Hi all, Thank you, Yang, for a great article! I did a series of these flushes, about 5, last fall and winter, but stopped because I was having some issues with it as well as low iron (and now what I have discovered was severe mineral imbalances). I felt I had to figure these issues out before proceeding. I really disliked doing these flushes as well. I threw up every time, excepting one, I did these flushes and it is just awful.
I am really want to do more, and feel it is time as I have figured out some of these issues I was having, which I am sure are all related to my gallbladder/liver issues. I had a gallbladder attack yesterday morning and am still feeling the effects of it, so started the juice today, along with some stone breaker from HerbPharm.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone else gets sick and throws up? Happens about 3-5 hours after drinking grapefruit and olive oil mixture. Thank you!
I have gotten sick 2/5 times. I fine if I drink the oil mixture, lay on ky right side, and then spend the night sleeping propped up to almost sitting/slouching I do much better.
Anna, maybe you’re taking too much of the mixture?
I take 120 ml of olive oil and 140 ml of grapefruit juice (weighing 85 kg). On “Saturday” eat a light meal. Remember, do not eat anything after 1 pm and ….. do an enema (it is obligatory in case of such problems).
Stone breaker – do you mean chanca piedra? It is rather for kidney stones and urinary tract , not bile…
If you haven’t, you should really read the book. The instructions on the internet sites like these are often changed and leave out a lot, not just how to prep, but so much more. You have to prep for 5 days, then on 6th day follow his exact protocol, then 7th day is eliminating and easing back to eating for a couple more days. Vomiting means your stones were so large that the bile is back flushing into your stomach. Nausea or vomiting is a normal response in that case. Because you mentioned a gallbladder attack, you may need to follow his adjustment for such cases. I have done 2 flushes and expelled thousands of tiny stones and hundreds of small to large ones, but I follow it exactly. The second flush, I had bigger, calcified stones, which made me very nauseous and caused gerd, but it got better with each bathroom trip. Best of luck.
Thanks for commenting. I felt nausea on my first flush but managed anyway, and my 2nd flush I threw up 8 hours after consuming the oil mixture. Both times I felt the contents of my stomach slosh around in the morning. Must be blocked! Ordering the book, and will try again.
Hello.. i just done my liver cleanse for the very 1st time..but i m disappointed i didnt got any stone in my poop only green substances is it normal or i must try some more times
Plz reply
Wow, keep fighting for your health and I hope you feel some improvement soon. I did have many throw-up episodes during earlier flushes, so did my kids. As I got more stones out of my system, the flushes became easier for me. I am able to sleep through most of the nights these days if I were to do a flush, and carry on with usual chores during the 2 days too. There is the theory that the more congested you are, the more likely you will get nauseous, which was also mentioned by Jenny in this thread.
My husband felt sick after fasting and taking the 2 first portions of epsom salts so I minced fresh ginger and put it in a teaball in 1/4 cup hot water .. he drank and he was able to get the olive oil down no prob.
Just out of curiosity, how do you collect those stones? During bowel movements?
I use a strainer with a handle and put them on a paper towel in my bathtub.
It’s 1 am after trying this protocol and I threw up my stomach contents (the olive oil juice mix). I was so nauseous in bed. I don’t know if I can continue taking the magnesium. It was horrible. I took over 10 trips to the bathroom before going to sleep and my bowels seemed nearly empty. I’m not sure I can perform this cleanse again. I might have to try something else. 🙁
Get magnesium sulfate in caps from Dr. Hulda Clark website. For one cleanse, it’s 60 caps total (15 caps per dose), but it’s oh so much better to get down than the liquid.
You have to either go to colonics or do an enema the day before. Then you will be fine
mostly outdated pseudo-science, there is however some good information on herbal medicine in the last pages…
Send the so called “gallstones” in for testing in a lab and see what really is in them then you can debunk it yourselves.
I personally know someone who sent in their “gallstones” for a lab test and it came back confirmed as gallstones. Just something for thoughts. There are lots of information out there, and we don’t all have to agree on everything. We just need to choose what resonate with us.
Here’s a description of how the “stones” form from a case study in the Lancet (cribbed from this really good article on the Science Based Medicine site):
“Experimentation revealed that mixing equal volumes of oleic acid (the major component of olive oil) and lemon juice produced several semi solid white balls after the addition of a small volume of a potassium hydroxide solution. On air drying at room temperature, these balls became quite solid and hard.
We conclude, therefore, that these green “stones” resulted from the action of gastric lipases on the simple and mixed triacylglycerols that make up olive oil, yielding long chain carboxylic acids (mainly oleic acid). This process was followed by saponification into large insoluble micelles of potassium carboxylates (lemon juice contains a high concentration of potassium) or “soap stones”.
https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/would-you-like-a-liver-flush-with-that-colon-cleanse/
I think it also makes you feel good because the placebo effect raises your dopamine levels but i have no study to back me up in this one so its just my opinion.
You said your friend had some proven test contradicting the study could you possibly share the results here?
Last time I did this flush, which was several years ago, a few of the stones were a dry crystalline powder on the inside, which means they were cholesterol stones, a type of stone that forms in the liver. It’s impossible that saponification could produce a dry, white crystalline powder.
The author of this article is a surgeon. I understand him, he wants a lot of work, he wants to cut a lot and have a lot of money. I suggest him to try flushing himself, then he will believe in the miracles that he will see in the toilet.
And he will stop writing b.s.
I don’t think it’s fair to be unkind. I didn’t believe in it 100% but I tried out of despair for my health and miracles happened, my arthritis stopped progressing , my period came back like it was when I was young and I have energy like never before.
Dear Carole, my opinion above is in response to an article from sciencebasedmedicine.org referenced by Marius above.
It was just written by a surgeon. I read it and that was my opinion on this surgeon’s article.
Yang, you are doing a really great job. Keep it up!
atleast the guy have tried some factual stuff and documented the process of what they found. All you do is basing your prejudiced opinions about this guys backround and where is your own documents where you can prove it isnt like its written in this article except for “dont worry about the puking and terrible nausea you get just trust me bro”… Tell me if this miracle cure solves every bodily problem why the author of the amazing liver gallbladder flush died of magnesium toxicity
I did one of these cleanses about two years ago. I was having shortness of breath and heart palpitations after the second dose of Epsom salts so I stopped the protocol and went to bed. I woke up first thing in the morning with a lose stool. There were 30+ small, green, pea sized stones floating in the toilet. I didn’t even drink the olive oil. This was enough proof for me to feel that this cleanse is legit. I wonder how much would have come out it I would have continued. I’m thinking about trying again
I also performed 3- 6 day flushes so far with 631 stones total released. I performed my first one during a gallbladder attack which was excruciating and found instant relief from the juice alone after the 3rd day. Proven fact is not pseudo-science, with all “due” respect.
I not only SAW and FELT my stones, they were SQUARE! They had to be compressed somehow inside my body in order to turn out square. There were just about enough stones to FILL my gallbladder, so they had to have been compressed in there for many years, as I was 60 when I did the first flush.
You can’t tell me these came about by the olive oil and lemon. If you think that, you do not pay attention to details and will likely miss the truth every time.
So, Mr. Debunker, explain to me how several dozen green and yellow putty like stones got formed into squares without having been compressed in an organ of my body, please.
I did this kind of cleansing about 10 years ago when I was in a very bad shape but do not remember I got those green stones. I did not repeat the procedure since then but recently I read again about it and maybe I am more ready for it now. But I am still a bit sceptical about this, I read that those green stones are actually not originating from the liver or gallbladder but actually formed from the olive oil … Of course this does not necessarily mean that it is not beneficial. Also the original procedure by dr. Moritz requires a week preparation which is heaviliy interfering with my job… is this really required?
Hope for some more information 🙂
https://www.ener-chi.com/ Here is Andreas Moritz website. He gives free info regarding the cleanse. Regarding the prepping, it isn’t hard, you just have to prep. You do need to rest from the cleanse thru the next day (6pm-12pm the following day).
Here’s a link to the myth of the Olive oil / Lemon Soap stones. https://www.ener-chi.com/ending-the-olive-oil-soap-stone-myth/
enjoy 🙂
Dear Yang, I am retired Holistic Therapist. Practiced Colonic Irrigation among other therapies. Have administered and recommended the Andreas Moritz’s Liver Cleanse to a number of Clients. Adding 3/4 drops of Black Walnut helps eliminating the harmful bacteria. KEFIR before a main meal helps with the Bowel system.
That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
What to do if I don’t wanna do colonic before and after the process . Please suggest me a way
What if you don’t have a gallbladder? Mine was removed in 2006!
You can still do the cleanse even if your gallbladder was removed.
Hi Patsy, do or did you have any side effects afterwards? Eating habits, pain etc. I have (after a scan been told I have numerous stones but they want to take the gallbllader out but I’m really apprehensive though the pain is getting worse
I just want to say thank you so very much. I’ve been looking for the right cleanse for this process for a while now, and yours was perfect. I passed 164 stones and it’s 11:00 a.m. right now.
I did this cleanse in 2012 for the first time and I passed 204 stones. (It’s good to keep track & count!) This one is slightly different but it works! I hadn’t had my first bowel movement until 6am this morning, and I realized, I’m tall, 6’1″ and 90 lbs so I added more Epsom salts for the last 2 drinks and it did the trick!
Really thank you again 🙏
after 2012 you didnt get any stone?
you need to do a beet root, fenugreek and/or acv lemon cinnamon protocol first to soften larger and harder stones so the can pass without creating issues like getting stuck
I watched all these blogs people telling how they got rid of thousands of stones so I was sold and I did everything by the book but all i have passed is diarhea and nothing else – i am so gutted and thinking its another scam started by colonic irrigation people to sell their stuff as the 1 hour process cost about £80 pounds
I havent madeup my mind yet but it does seem like a scam now to me 🙁
how many times did you do it? I did one through a holistic practitioner and it didnt work until the second time. Im unsure about this process however.
How do I find a holistic practitioner who can help me with this?
You need to know that our bodies react differently from others which worked other may not work for you
Hi,
I did the flush. But my stools are pale the next day. Did anyone experience it?
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE. I DID THIS FLUSH 5 WEEKS AGO AND NO STONE COME OUT BUT WHEN I CHECKED AFTER THE FLUSH THE SIZE DECREASES FROM 1.6 CM TO 5 MM IS THIS POSSIBLE ? WHAT DECREASES THE SIZE?
Do you have to drink the epsom salt in water? Or could you put the epsom salt in capsules? Or maybe disolve it more water?
I just really hate the taste of the epsom salt and have a hard time forcing myself to drink it.
Water is key to flushing the GI tract. The concentration of a capsule may cause stomach upset. I set up a second glass of plain water nest to the epsom salts drink, drink the epsom salts drink then chase with the plain water all while plugging my nose. The trick s to not breathe at all and you won’t taste it.
Is there another option for Epsom salt I am a blood pressure patient is episom salt OK for me?
Moritz suggests putting lemon juice in the epsom salt to improve the taste and drinking with a straw to get it down your throat. I think the lemon juice helps a lot.
Hi there. Thank you for your blog. It gave me hope as I am on my 5th flush since October and still more stones coming. I do feel better temporarily and then do the flush again. I have been diagnosed with those stones in September and the surgeons want to cut out my gallbladder asap.. I don’t want it being removed. I have a scan tomorrow and did flush last night hopefully the results of the flush will show on the scan. Take care.
How did your scan go? Hope it went great!
After 6th and 7th flush only tiny 1mm stuff left and also very little on the bottom of the gallbladder. So perhaps keep going now and then. Definitely no attack any more… and lots of stuff came out first and second time. Last 7th time just little bit like 1/8 of the first flush.. amazing
I am glad my experience helps. I would not want my gallbladder cut out either if I were you. Sending you best wishes and healing energy!
Just wondering if this flush will get rid of larger stones? I have one that is almost 2 cm and they want to remove my gallbladder.
I did everything correctly I believe and nothing really happened except for the green bile. There were a couple of items that would probably be considered “stones”. They were real mushy and most of them actually went through the strainer. Now the remaining “stuff” is bright, almost neon yellow. I figure this is an indication of dehydration. Really appreciate you and your sharing of your experience, it was helpful. If you notice anything that stands out with my experience I would really like to hear your opinion. Thanks again.
I not only SAW and FELT my stones, they were SQUARE! They had to be compressed somehow inside my body in order to turn out square. There were just about enough stones to FILL my gallbladder, so they had to have been compressed in there for many years, as I was 60 when I did the first flush.

So, Mr. Debunker, explain to me how several dozen green and yellow putty like stones got formed into squares without having been compressed in an organ of my body, please.
Hi yang thanks for sharing ur experience… I havev3 cm stone.. Can I try thus recipe..n how many days I should repeat this continuously….sone said I gave to do it till 25-30 days..is it correct way to do this..pls reply
Sometimes one flush is all you need.
The author says above, “Ideally aim to have the flushes every 3 to 7 weeks in the beginning. Doing another liver and gallbladder flush sooner than 3 weeks isn’t recommended, as your liver needs time to rest. Waiting longer than 7 weeks may lead to negative effects by the exacerbated congestion in the liver.”
That is good advice.
Has anyone used Calm instead of epsom salt? Or helga Clark’s pills? I hate epsom sale and gag so much?
Have you ever reached a time when you no longer have stones? You mentioned that there’s never been a time where you have done a flush without stones.
I appreciate this blog btw. I’ve done 2.5 years worth of consecutive flushes, one every month. Meaning I’ve done 28 flushes. I’m 28 years old and I was hoping that by the 28th or so, that I could go into maintenance mode. I will be doing my 29th and I’m diligent. I want to keep going while hoping to have an end and so that I can transfer into doing it every 6 months. Is this possible? His book makes it seem so. I really appreciate your help. Feel free to email me.
Hello Shayla, I’m thinking of doing the liver flush in a week or so and I am trying to research if it is necessary to do a colon hydrotherapy or irrigation afterwards. I’ve read in the book that it is indispensable however I see some people haven’t done it after their liver cleanse. Have you done it? I’m 26 and don’t have any serious health issues.

In his video Andreas says to do a.colonic before and after, and asked if one could leave one colonic it would bethe first one but definitely do a professional colonic after your flush. Check out his interview on Youtube Andreas Moritz
THE AMAZING LIVER AND GALLBLADDER FLUSH.
Hello, I don’t understand how causing the liver and gall bladder to release a large amount of bile at once could reduce bilirubin from the bloodstream, as this action would create more bile in the bloodstream but not conjugate it to enable it to be pulled from the blood. Could you help me understand? Thank you.
My guess is that is accomplished by improving the function of the liver which detoxes the blood.
I do this flush since 10+ years. Besides the benefits you describe i experience a drop in cholesterol of 40 points+ after each flush.
I did my first Flush last weekend, about 500 Stones came out ranging from 1mm to a little over 1cm. I absolutely hated the epsom salt drinks and had to force myself to drink it🤢 but I read it would help using a straw since it will then only touch the back of ones toungue👌🏻 but I also read somewhere that someone used Apple juice to mix in with the epsom salt, anyone tried it? I would love it if i didnt get the horrible taste. I would definitely recommend anyone buying the book, it makes things clearer and I might think some of the books content is something i dont believe in “like how it can matter how the moon is positioned” i had high hopes the Flush would work and it did I hope i can keep up eating better to prevent more Stones coming and keep doing the Flush till i have no more stones😊👌🏻
You can buy Epsom salt pills instead easier to swallow.
Hi Kay,
I assume you used the Epsom salt pills yourself. Can you include the link which pills to buy? What about this one?

Any help is much appreciated,

Which Epsom salt pills did you use?
Please advise.
Viola
I put some orange electrolyte powder into the Epsom salt drink and it worked like a charm. I had no problem drinking it – the taste was very mild.
buy piping rock’s magnesium citrate, use this instead of epsom salt. mild taste and more effective.
Hi yang,,, I got it scanned 6 months ago. At that time my gall stones were 14 mm. But now when I checked, the gallstones became 22mm. why did this happen?? While I have done liver cleanse 5 times. I have done a lot of gaps in between. Please give answer.
After consuming olive oil stone soaked the oil n it size got bigger..it happen in this process . need not to worry .. Just try for flushing till it come to an end
Sanj, how could the consumed olive oil get into the gallbladder ???
Aman, you should try to thin the bile in the gallbladder. Eat something fatty, then drink mint tea or St. John’s wort after half an hour. Repeat this after 3 hours. This procedure will empty the gallbladder, and fresh, thin bile will flow in, which will slowly dissolve the gallbladder. Then do the Moritz procedure. Good luck!
It is possible for gall stones to merge and create a bigger mass especially the start moving towards the exiting ducts. Use herbs like chanca piedra (stone breaker) to help reduce the stone formation.
I am on my 9th flush. I have had great results. Lots of stones come out and several health benefits. However I have noticed that it’s true once you start you can’t just stop as symptoms can get worse before they get better. Question: I was wondering if you think it’s a big deal to do the flush on the 5th day instead of waiting until the 6th day?. The apple juice is causing a lot of increased pain this time in my symptoms, and I don’t know if I can wait.
The stones may be too large to exit the common bile duct. Remember 25mm is about an inch.
HI dont think you will be able to get stones out more than 5mm of size due to bile duct is normally only 4.1 mm wide. So that stone will probably be in gallbladder forever but should not create any problems (at least in terms getting stuck in bile duct).
Bile ducts relax under the influence of Epsom salt. Stones up to 15 mm in diameter can come out of the gallbladder. I also excreted a few stones up to 28 mm long and 18 mm in diameter, but they were probably liver stones.
Thanks for your story about the liver flush. It worked for my environmental illness.
Do you know of a health professional who endorses it?
Where do you get Food grade epsom salts?
Something like this one.. you can order online: https://amzn.to/3vVGI36
Walgreens
6lb bag $2.99 (online price – they will honor in store)
I have 3 cm stone ..can I flush it with this process.. Im afraid because it is very big in size..does it stuck somewhere…pls help
Is it normal for absolutely nothing to happen at all? I’ve only tried this once and it didn’t even make me go to the bathroom let alone cause a bile dump
Yes, it happens sometimes. Our body is complex … have you checked the timing of your drinks, food limitation and quality of ingredients?
I am a cleansing specialist and holistic healer. I have had clients / and doctor referrals. Do the liver flush protocol
I you read the book. ( highly recommended )
The amazing gall and liver flush !
You will find that the protocol needs to be done more than once. Possibly two to 6 times until liver and fall bladder releases stones .
You should space the cleanses out. Please read the book to get the right information. So many people do cleanses with out researching the science. This is the book you want and it has so millions of copies world wide ( this is nothing new) I should hope will find it extremely interesting. Warmly katy
Hello Katy,
I have read the book and my only concern is doing the colon irrigation after the liver flush or not. Andreas, the author, states it is indispensable but I don’t have any serious health issues and I’m doubting whether to do the colon hydrotherapy after the liver flush or not. Any suggestions? Is it okay if I skip it?
Best
Salina
Uhhh I did and nothing happened to me
Thanks for sharing your experience,,
I’ve just started a Liver/Gallbladder cleane since Mon 1st Feb 2021, but I’ve been taking a Bile Salt Product called TUDCA 250mg twice a day on empty stomach along with Liver Cleanse Tea, and Fresh Lemon juice, Beet Root Juice, and eating 1 meal a day. before 2pm, .
Since then I’ve gone from constipated since forever to having 1 large and 1 small watery bowel movement .. It’s too dark to see what’s coming out, but something must be working 🙂
HI there! Thank you for sharing your experience.
What results have you seen to date? More energy? Weigh loss? Sleep patterns? It sounds like you have your regularity under control. 😉 Also, did you experience any cramping or stomach discomfort?
Thanks for sharing?
Hi there, I’m wondering if we can do the flush if we have already removed our gallbladder and already having problems producing bile, any idea?
You may want to get the book she recommends. It talks about if someone has had their gallbladder removed.
I tried this method but took 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 lemon 4 times 15 minutes apart. For example, took first dose at 12pm then next dose at 12:15pm, third dose at 12:30pm, and final dose at 12:45pm then went to sleep for an hour. When I woke up I went to restroom and the gallbladder stones came out.
Hi. Do you mean instead of drinking 120 ml olive oil and 180 ml of grapefruit juice?
Love your well polished blog. I’ve read mostly the fermented recipes but leaving a message here. Keep up the great articles.
Thank you Leo! That means a lot to me. 😊
Hi i heard one of the bigger sized stones might get stuck in the duct and it will need immediate surgury to open the passage or it might cause death .. could this be true?
I think there is always going to be risks involved. You will need to make a judgement after weighing the pros and cons for yourself and knowing your comfort level. 🙂
It is possible for gall stones to merge and create a bigger mass especially the start moving towards the exiting ducts. Use herbs like chanca piedra (stone breaker) to help reduce the stone formation.
I am attending a detox retreat specialising in this. We have been drinking Noni juice and apple cider vinegar diluted with water to soften the stones prior to the flush.
How did it go Natasha?has the detox/flush made you feel heaps better?
went to the hospital last week and they told me I have multiple gallstones I tried natural remedy as I speak right now I’m from the toilet for the second time since mng and gallstones are still coming out thank you Lord for natural remedies
What natural recipes u tried pls share
Is your hospital visit diagnosis able to determine the type of gallstones you have. I did this flush, I’m not convinced that any stones came out. But I don’t know for sure. The material that did come out seems to have the consistency of bright green play dough that’s oily. I feel that this material is derived from the reaction of olive oil, grapefruit juice as nd bile. And for sure, slot of bile did come out,accompanied with a dull deep pain on the right side of my abdomen. So yes bile was released. This is not to say that the protocol will fail for you. I will continue to do this cleanse with breaks in between, because I’m concerned about the toxicity of Epsom salt. But if the protocol does not give me results, then I might have a different problem.
In replace of epsom salt I use Magnesium Citrate.. works just as well
Can you send link to which brand of Magnesium citrate you used?
Any help is much appreciated,
Viola
Hi, I am grateful to you for sharing your experience… My bilirubin was at 36. I came across your blog, read about your story and the liver flush. At first i was very skeptical about it but still went to try it out. I went to take the blood test 2 weeks later and found that my total bilirubin dropped to normal range of 16. It really works!
How did you take? Can one replace grapefruit with orange or lemon?
I just recently did my 8th liver flush. And during this pandemic this time has helped me to do these every 6 weeks!! I believe in these flushes and the first time I have done one was about 3 years ago. This year has been the most intense flushes that I have done. I plan do do another one in 6 weeks. I do feel that evertime I do a flush I have the pressure in my gallbladder still after eating. Which I’m assuming as you say the stones are pushing their way out. Thank you for sharing. Its great to know other people believe in these liver flushes and its an alternative than going through the knife.
Do you do the colon cleanse along with the liver flush? The biggest thing holding me back is that the actual book & many others say you need to do a colon cleanse both before and after a liver flush.
I tried a colonic hydrotherapy and it was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I’ve had.
I just do an enema before and two days after. I use ½ gallon of warm water each time
I did as well, and I believe it helped making everything come through much easier, it was weird doing it but It seems like the best way. I heard you deposit the water inside and then lie down on the left side for as long as you can before having to sit on the toilet it was easier than i thought it might be👌🏻
Maybe you went to the wrong place for hydro therapy. That’s what I call it, because my experience was very easy and cleansing. Point, try it somewhere else?
The author did a decently sized Q&A where concerns like this were addressed, just search his name and ‘ener-chi’. The entire Q&A is worth a read imo, but I’m specifically thinking of the one under the header ‘Stuck stones, fear’ (the headers are alphabetical, it’s easy to find) where he talks about it, and recommends taking a tablespoon of the Epsom salts in a glass of water to relax the bile ducts if it ever happens.
N.B. The 5 days of apple juice or Malic Acid leading up to the cleanse itself is a key part of it because it softens the stones and makes passing them easier. As are the colonics (or enemas if necessary) either side as there is risk involved in skipping them.
Full disclosure: I haven’t done it yet, I’m just doing research to inform my decision and shared your concern. I was reassured by his response so will keep an extra Epsom salts dose nearby in case, but surgery to remove something that would have to come out eventually wouldn’t be the worst case scenario in my current state of health, but that’s a personal risk to assess. Obviously I’d prefer to avoid hospitals given the context, but the documented anecdotes I came across were rare, and every one that provided details included something they did incorrectly. So it’s just made me take this more seriously, understand that his guide in the book is strict with no part being just a suggestion, and make sure I’m confident in my understanding before I do it.
If you chose to go ahead with it after posting this – how was your experience?
Did you do the colonic in any of them? I’ve just done my 2nd round and got the recipe from a friend, but I didn’t feel as great as many people discribe. Then I found out that this procedure needs colonics to be succesful. I’m not sure about that – because my friend did 8 of them and feels great and never did the colonic (and now, at least here, everything was closed because of the pandemic) so I’m just wondering if it can be successful with time without the colonics.
Do it yourself enema
You and your friend have different bodies. Some people have a BM every day and some people do not have you have heart still left in your calling it will keep this cleanse from working
I also have that amazing book and I intended to start the detox but got pregnant. I am now having Gallbladder attacks while being pregnant and it’s really painful. Has anyone tried this method when pregnant or know of pregnant women who have done so? I am aware the method is not recommended when pregnant but wanted to check is some women have tried it. Thanks!
From my understanding it is not safe during pregnancy because the spasming of the Bowels could bring on early labor. So sorry you are suffering. I take some specific essential oils that helped my gall bladder perhaps they will work for you. You can text me five seven zero, three five zero, two six nine seven.
But definitely when the baby is born do this flush. I got a book from Dr Moritz for more detailed directions “ the miracle gallbladder liver flush“ on amazon
Try Stone Breaker instead for now? Maybe look into it anyway. I was having terrible pain for over 2 weeks, after 8 tablets (over 2 days) the pain is 90% gone and I feel so much better. I’m passing sediment now (on day 3). It’s $30 on Amazon but totally worth it if it relieves your pain.
When you say you’re passing sediments, do you mean hard stone like substance, or do you mean, firm dough like substance?
Sophie can I message you?
I have a polyp on the outside of gallbladder ultrasound says no stones, but I’m on antspasmodic and Advil for the pain. I have chanca Piedra which says it’s a stone breaker. Is that all you use for the GB attacks? Or have you done the GB flush as well? I’m little nervous about doing this because the polyp is on the outside. And the symptoms could be the polyp or maybe cholesterol stones which I understand cant be detected by ultrasound. Looking for suggestions? Thank you
Hi Yang, you did not mention for colon cleanse after the liver cleanse. There’s no effect if there’s no Colon cleanse two days after the liver cleanse. It is also recommended by Andrea Moritz in his book. I strongly suggest to do Colon cleanse to everyone how is doing liver cleanse. Otherwise all toxins expelled by liver cleanse are going back to the body. There are a lot of clinics doing colon cleanse. I’m doing this protocol since 2012. It helped me back to the life.
Yes, I agree with you! Colon cleanse is a big topic on its own. I stated in the last paragraph of “the method” section that I am only sharing the basics here. The book is worth a read for anyone who wants to gain comprehensive knowledge of the detox.
Is there a way to do colon cleanse without enema or colonic? I’m freaked out about this
Salt flush. Where you drink saline water. Look on line instructions!!!
Why did you get your children to do it ?
Interesting that you didn’t drink apple juice for 5 days before doing the cleanse. Or he says you can take malic acid capsules for that long. The malic acid (in apples), is supposed to soften the gallstones.
Thanks for mentioning and you are correct!! I did drink apple juice. Due to the limitation of space, I couldn’t include too much contents from the book. My goal is not to repeat the book, but to add to it with my experience. In addition to the purpose of malic acid, he also discussed a number of topics around the cleanse that people should be aware of, before, during and after. I had to draw the line somewhere, thus I made the decision to only share my actual flush experience, and encourage everyone who wants to learn more to read the book. I stated this in my last paragraph of “the method” section.
In addition, I touched on diet for the flush in another blog post, feel free to give it a read: https://yangsnourishingkitchen.com/liver-flush-kids/
Great blog! I’ve done the Andreas Moritz cleanse 3 or 4 times. First time, a kink I’d had in my neck for a long time went away! Every time after also had good effect, but not as dramatic.
This is so helpful!! Thank you for sharing.
Question, where you on any medication while doing the flush? Can a person do the liver flush with medication? How to do it if a person is on medications that can’t stopped? Thanks for your experience and prompt response!

I was doing the Liver cleanse taking anti anxiety medications. There was no issues but this your responsibility.
I got ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after my first cycle of IVF and always felt bloated since. I didn’t think much of it until I’d had my son and still get that way. On top of which, I got an ache in my gut when I bent over to tie my shoes, what I’d later find out was an inflamed pancreas. My Doctor suggested I have my gallbladder removed, assuming the extreme amount of hormones had caused the gallstones showing up on a scan. I was always healthy and in good shape before this and I don’t drink so it seemed the only logical explanation for my stones and inflamed organs but I didn’t want to have surgery. I was determined to heal myself naturally and stumbled across this cleanse when looking for supplements. My first go-around was textbook and I even saw what I guessed to be calcified stones. My ache immediately subsided after the cleanse and hasn’t returned. During this time, I also stopped eating meat and dairy. I’ve felt great since the first cleanse and was anxious to do my second, hoping it would only get better. The strange thing was, nothing really happened this time. Things started working much faster than the first one; I had to use the bathroom shortly after the second Epsom salt drink and continued to into the night. The next morning, I wasn’t discovering any well defined stones, everything was pretty liquid, dark green, and smelled downright horrible. I’m not sure if that’s a good sign or if something went wrong!
As you may already know, the diarrhea is mostly bile, including water and digested food material. The first time, were the stones hard or like bright green clay?
Do you have to use grapefruit, or can another citrus fruit work?
Yes. You can use lemon and orange instead.
I did the liver flush two weeks ago, I have noticed alot of green pea sized stones, however are these actual gallstones or is it a byproduct of the treatment itself?
Also, how many flushes are required for a 1.3 cm gallstone?

My husband did this a few years ago. I do believe it saved him from having to visit a doctor. It’s such a blessing to have healing remedies that don’t come with surgeries or drugs (not that those don’t have their places)! Thanks for sharing your experience.
