Do you detox your liver?

by Elke on December 29, 2007

When you think about getting healthier (we all do at some point of time, I guess), for sure the first things that will come to mind will be: kick the smoking habit good bye, start to exercise, eat less fat, isn’t it? In my opinion (and I share these with all the famous healers ), an important part of a healthy lifestyle is Body-Detoxification, or simply called “detox”. “Why do we need to detox? “,you may ask.”Isn’t the body doing this all the time?”

Yes, our body, respectively our liver, is doing this all the time and she would not have any problems doing a good job, if we would live in an environment of clean air and unpolluted water, free of processed food and toxins being gassed out of furniture and clothing, free of personal care products that contain mineral oil and preservatives….you get the message?

So, we have no choice but to take some of this intense load off the liver not only by making healthier choices, but also by assisting the body to remove toxins stored in its tissues through specific detox regimes. For example, I frequently (once or twice a year) detox my liver with a method I learned from a Russian healer. I will share with you the procedure:

On the day of the detox, you should have an enema (1% saline water will be fine). For breakfast and lunch take only fruits and vegetables. After lunch put a heating pad on your liver until you’re ready to start the detox. The best time to start is between 7pm and 8pm. You need 0,2 l organic olive oil and 0,2 l organic lemon juice, warm them separately up to body temperature.

Take 2 sips of olive oil, followed immediately by 2 sips of lemon juice. Wait for 15 or 20 minutes before continuing. If you don’t feel nausea, take the next 2 sips olive oil followed by the 2 sips of lemon juice. Repeat this procedure until you finish the oil and the juice. If you feel nausea you have to wait until this has subsided before you continue. If you feel nausea for more than an hour, you simply quit the detox. Don’t worry, it’s just a sign that your body can’t take more at this point of time. If you repeat the detox some other time your body will be able to tolerate a larger amount.

From 11pm until the early morning hours the liver is cleaning herself. Maybe you’ll be having a running stomach. If your stool is black-greenish, that’s a sign of toxins have been removed from the liver. Sometimes first timers can’t go to toilet. In that case you’ll have to do another enema.

For breakfast you’ll have only 0,5 l fresh organic carrot juice. For lunch you can have already a normal meal. In case you can’t take olive oil or lemon juice, you could subsidize with organic sunflower oil and red currant juice.
