GALL BLADDER/LIVER FLUSHExcepted from the copyrighted works of Dr. A. Howard MD
NOTE: For a SEVERE gall bladder attack, see the information in items 14 through 15 at the end of this paper. 1. The Non-digestibility of Artificially Hydrogenated (hydrogen added) Fats: A. Artificially hydrogenated fats and shelf life Artificially hydrogenated fats (artificially saturated with hydrogen) are inactive and very difficult to digest. Typical examples of these are margarine and "Crisco" type fats. They can be kept for years without spoiling and no refrigeration is necessary. This is a great commercial advantage because they can be put on the shelf and dusted of f until someone does finally buy them. |
|
B. Artificially hydrogenated fats cause the gall bladder to become "lazy". These types of fat are so saturated (unreactive) they do not properly excite the gall bladder to release bile (also known as gall) to break up the fats into tiny droplets so they can be absorbed. This causes the gall bladder to become "lazy" and the bile in the gall bladder to become stagnant and oily "stones" are formed .
C. Congestion from gall bladder affecting the liver and pancreas - Sometimes this congestion also backs up into the liver (especially after the gall bladder has been removed) and can move down into the pancreas. A congested pancreas can cause a high blood sugar disorder and/or cause the pancreas to digest itself .
D. Effects of a congested gall bladder on the functions it should perform for the body - High quality fats providing essential fatty acids are needed by every cell in the body. When they are not eaten or cannot be emulsified (broken down into tiny droplets) by a congested gall bladder, the glands can starve. The cells of the body need high quality fatty acids from fats and oils broken down into tiny droplets in order to make many types of hormones. It is important that the gall bladder be stimulated properly by high quality oils and fats which contain these essential fatty acids. Then the gall bladder will regularly contract and push bile, a detergent for fat (emulsifying agent) , into the duodenum (the first 12 inches of the small intestine) .
This detergent action breaks down fats and oils into very tiny droplets so they can be absorbed by the small intestine. Every cell in the body then has the chance to be nourished and the glands have a raw material with which to make many types of hormones. Imitation butters are not a good source of digestible essential fatty acids. The body cannot make essential fatty acids, that is why they are called essential. It is good advice for people to f lush out the gall bladder and liver regularly with a GALL BLADDER/LIVER FLUSH and/or an OIL CHANGE so you ensure the digestion of oils and fats.
E. Craving sugars and starches -If high quality oils and fats are not a part of the diet a person will usually crave sugars and starches in an attempt by the body to make the essential fatty acids. Unfortunately this does not work and the craving continues.

2. Bowel Management Program Make sure a bowel management program is established which ensures the bowels are moving two to three times per day. With this amount of bowel activity per day any "stones" and/or liver debris will be eliminated through the bowel and not thrown up. In most cases where the bowels are moving properly, discomfort is relatively minor during a flush. The most common observation is that of "pin prick" sensations under the ribs as the debris is leaving the gall bladder, liver and pancreas. |
3. Some of the many benefits of doing a GALL BLADDER/LIVER FLUSH
Many types of maladies often clear up when this is done such as itching, skin irritations, intolerance to clothing, skin disturbances of various types and discomfort between the right shoulder blade and the spine. Increased glandular activity may be noticed as well as an increase in sex drive and better digestion.
4. Dietary considerations
The body does recognize natural vegetable oils (that have not been turned into artificially saturated fats by chemically adding hydrogen) and butter and even lard. The gall bladder is excited by them to release bile. Then the stones do not form.
5. Vitamins A & D
Use and benefit from these vitamins to promote better health,
6. Herbs which clean and support the liver and clean the gall bladder
LiverGallbladderTract, which contains YELLOW DOCK , BURDOCK, and MILK THISTLE SEED plus others is excellent for keeping the gall bladder and liver clean. Take ½ tsp one to three times per day in water or juice.

7. To flush the gall bladder and liver
After the bowels are moving at least two to three times per day, drink 1/2 cup of OLIVE OIL for four nights in a row. After the olive oil is taken it can be followed with some freshly squeezed lemon juice or drink 1/2 cup of cranberry juice or raspberry juice or combination of cranberry and raspberry juice.(Unsweetened) NOTE: Some people combine the olive oil and the juice and drink it at the same time (this makes the oil easier to tolerate) . |
|
8. The following morning the individual may experience some nausea
(which is caused by the congestion being loosened up and waiting to be eliminated). As the congestion is eliminated through the bowels, the nausea will go away (this is usually accomplished within a few hours) .
As the individual proceeds with the f lush, the nausea will lessen and finally disappear as the congestion has been eliminated.
9. The following morning, '
“Stones" and/or debris should be voided with the stool. They will float and their color ranges from the color of olive oil to a dark jade green. The size of the particles can be anywhere from a pinhead to the size of a nickel (five cent piece) . Particles that are eliminated are irregular in shape and their consistency is that of dough. They may or may not be covered with stool debris. Their appearance is “bean shaped" or like an irregular sphere of "play dough". They will be quite pliable and deteriorate rapidly. There will often be as much as a double hand full of debris and “stones" at a time.
10 Keep flushing each evening
;Until it feels lighter around the gall bladder area (upper right quadrant of the abdomen) . Digestion can then proceed normally. This often takes several inches off the middle and the person feels much better. If any congestion is still left in the liver, gall bladder or pancreas area, the original complaint may continue to occur from time to time. In that case, after a period of rest for a few days or up to two weeks, the flush can be repeated.
11. Variation (external application for gall bladder/liver flush)
For those people who have difficulty drinking olive oil there is an alternative method. Once again the bowels must be moving two to three times per day. Continue to use the Bowel Management Program during this time if needed to maintain this. To prepare the application use natural fiber cheese cloth or absorbent gauze large enough to cover the liver area. The liver area is from one side of the body to the other, right under the ribs about the width of the hand.. Soak the cloth with one cup of olive oil and lay it over the liver area. Cover with plastic sandwich wrap and fix in place with a wrap around the body (an “ace" type wrap works well). Leave this in place over night then repeat this for four consecutive nights. Remove and discard the application each morning and wash the area.

12. Variation (external application)
Rub 1 Tablespoon of LiverGallbladderTract Herbal Tea into the liver area and then pour one full cup of olive oil onto several layers of natural fiber cheese cloth or absorbent gauze and place this over the liver area and cover with plastic sandwich wrap for the night. Hold in place with a wrap. This is done for four nights in a row. NOTE: There may be some poisons removed through the skin with this method as well as those which are expelled internally, so do not reuse an application. To reduce any possible irritation, open capsules of Vitamin E from 100 i.u. (International Units, a measure of liquid vitamins) capsules and apply this oil to the liver area before and after each application. |
13. To keep the gall bladder and liver in good condition:
A. Keep the spine in alignment.
B. Improve digestion with the aid of a good digest aid. Use DigestTract with each meal to keep the digestive system working optimally. Avoid artificially hydrogenated oils and fats (margarine, "Crisco" type products)
14. Instructions for SEVERE Gall Bladder Attack:
A. For a severe attack, if it can be tolerated, drink 3/4 of a cup or more of OLIVE OIL to help expel any stones.
NOTE: Some individuals have been known to drink up to four cups of OLIVE OIL in order to get the gall bladder and liver to flush. It is very helpful to mix the Olive Oil with juice (such as raspberry, cherry, grape, etc.) and shake well and drink down very quickly. This makes the oil more tasteful. Have some freshly sliced lemon to taste after drinking the oil mixture.
B. Apply LiverGallbladderTract Herbal Tea to the entire area of the spine and under the ribs from one side of the body to the other. (Take care not to get into the eyes or on private areas as intense heat and stinging sensations can occur. No permanent harm will be done so please do not panic. Flushing with water helps, but time is the best remedy.)
NOTE: Some individuals have found that using a heating pad over the area of the application of herbs is very helpful.
C. If there is a need to soothe the duct (tube) of the gall bladder, (discomfort and/or pain being the indication) take one capsule of ChronoTract SE herbal combination as often as needed.

15. The muscles may well have been strained during this cleaning process.
At this point a chiropractic adjustment is recommended. It is also recommended that the individual avoid all artificially hydrogenated fats and continue the use of the DigestTract to prevent future problems. 16. It is finally recommended that two Tablespoons of either OLIVE OIL be rubbed into the liver area or inner thighs each day to keep the gall bladder active and avoid a sluggish condition which could lead to the formation of stones. |
