- Plan to do the gallbladder flush over a weekend or when you have a couple of days off work to allow for rest and relaxation.
- During the week leading up to the flush, consume a diet consisting of mainly fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid processed foods, animal fats, and dairy products.
- It's recommended to perform a kidney cleanse before the gallbladder flush, as Moritz suggests that congested kidneys can hinder the effectiveness of the gallbladder flush.
- Starting from the sixth day before the flush, drink four glasses (32 ounces or 1 liter) of organic apple juice each day. Divide the juice into smaller servings and drink throughout the day.
- The apple juice helps to soften gallstones and prepare the body for the flush.
- On the day of the flush, consume a no-fat breakfast and lunch. This means avoiding any foods that contain fat or oil.
- Moritz recommends consuming only fresh fruits, fruit juice, vegetable broth, and herbal teas during this period.
- At 2:00 p.m., mix 4 tablespoons of Epsom salt with 3 cups (24 ounces or 710 milliliters) of water.
- Divide the mixture into four equal parts (¾ cup each) and store in a glass.
- Avoid consuming any food after 2:00 p.m.
- At 6:00 p.m., drink the first ¾ cup of the Epsom salt solution. It may taste unpleasant, so you can add a bit of lemon juice to improve the taste.
- Repeat step 5 and drink the second ¾ cup of the Epsom salt solution at 8:00 p.m.
- At 10:00 p.m., mix ½ to ¾ cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (or lemon and orange juice mixture) with an equal amount of cold-pressed olive oil in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Shake the mixture vigorously until it is well blended.
- Stand next to your bed and drink the olive oil and citrus juice mixture within 5 minutes.
- You can use a straw to make it easier to swallow, or you can take small sips.
- After drinking the mixture, lie down immediately on your right side with your knees pulled toward your chest. Stay in this position for 20 minutes.
- Go to bed and keep your upper body elevated with pillows. Try to sleep on your right side.
- Avoid moving around as much as possible during the night.
- Upon waking up, but not before 6:00 a.m., drink the third ¾ cup of the Epsom salt solution.
- After two more hours, drink the fourth and final ¾ cup of the Epsom salt solution.
- You can go back to bed or relax during this period.
- At this point, you may experience bowel movements with loose stools.
While malic acid is naturally present in various fruits, the concentration can vary. Some fruits that contain malic acid include: We are drinking pressed apple juice to get our malic acid.
- Apples: Particularly tart apple varieties, such as Granny Smith, are known to have higher levels of malic acid.
- Cherries
- Strawberries
- Watermelons
- Apricots
- Plums
Including these fruits in your diet can provide a natural source of malic acid. However, keep in mind that the amount of malic acid in whole fruits may be lower than what is typically used in the gallbladder flush. Additionally, consuming these fruits alone may not provide the concentrated dose needed for the flush.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar contains malic acid, among other acids. While it may not be as concentrated as using malic acid powder or supplements, incorporating apple cider vinegar into your diet may provide some malic acid. You can add a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar to water or use it as a dressing in salads. However, excessive consumption of apple cider vinegar can have adverse effects, so moderation is key.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help soften the stool and facilitate bowel movements.
-
Include Fiber: Consume a diet rich in fiber from sources like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Fiber can promote regular bowel movements and support colon health.
-
Gentle Physical Activity: Engage in light exercise or physical activity, such as walking, to stimulate the digestive system and encourage bowel movements.
-
Natural Laxatives: Consider natural laxatives, such as psyllium husk or herbal teas with laxative properties (e.g., senna or cascara sagrada). However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using any laxatives.
-
Patience: It may take a few days for the body to eliminate any stool or potential gallstones. Be patient and allow your body to go through its natural process.
