Basics Concerning The Liver Flush Procedure

By Jose Thomas


The liver is involved in many metabolic, physiologic and synthetic functions of the body. For instance, it facilitates digestion by releasing bile juice. It also maintains the glucose levels within a normal range by converting excesses into glycogen and breaking this glycogen up when the need arises. This organ also plays a major role in the breakdown and excretion of toxins and drugs. To maintain it at optimal functioning capacity, a procedure known as liver flush is performed.

There are a number of factors that may cause sub-optimal functioning. They include, heavy intake of alcohol, reduced blood potassium levels, using intravenous drugs, viral infections, industrial toxins and autoimmune diseases. Hepatic impairment can be suspected if an individual exhibits a certain pattern of symptoms that include chronic fatigue, the passage of dark urine, high blood pressure (not caused by other factors) constipation and bloating.

Flushing helps achieve a number of things. Among them is the removal of gallstones and toxins that directly impair functioning. The result of this is an improvement in digestion. It has also been reported to reduce the number and severity of allergic attacks among certain people. The chronic fatigue that is characteristic of liver disease is usually replaced by high energy levels.

The first step of cleansing is the preparation. Microorganisms that may have found their way into the organ by sticking onto gallstones have are killed during this stage. Three weeks of parasite killing have to be undertaken before one undergoes cleansing. Some experts also recommend that one first undergoes kidney cleansing before being considered for hepatic flushing. This is because the waste products that are removed from the hepatic system are released through the kidneys.

You will experience bouts of diarrhea the day after the therapy is administered. Gallstones can be directly visualized in the stool using bright light. These stones have a distinct green color that makes them different from food residue. Gall stones typically have high levels of cholesterol that causes them to float above the food residue in the stool. Repeat procedures are usually done at two week intervals.

Raw vegetable juice is the most commonly used cleansing agent. The vegetables that may be used include cabbage, beets, cauliflower, cucumber, greens and carrots. Three or four of them blended together is usually sufficient for most people. One of the roles of these vegetables is to reduce the acidity level of the body. They have also been found to release a chemical called beta carotene that is converted to vitamin A.

Apart from these vegetables, there are several other foods that can be used. Foods rich in potassium such as sweet potatoes, bananas and beans are also quite effective in cleansing. They are also quite effective in lowering the levels of cholesterol in the blood which in turn reduces the risk of gallstone formation. Other foods that may be considered include black strap molasses, coffee enemas and milk thistle among others.

It is generally recommended that cleansing be done at six month intervals. There are no obvious risks that are associated with the procedure. However, a sick feeling may set in for a day or two but this does not usually require treatment. Do not take any unnecessary medicines as these may overwhelm your liver.
