Has anyone HERE ever done the Liver Cleanse & Does it really work?

Hi,





Has anyone here ever done a Liver Cleanse(by ingesting olive oil %26amp; lemon juice)? If so. What happened %26amp; did you benefit from it?





Also can you guide me to a safe guidelines on the net for doing this?





Thanks in advance.Has anyone HERE ever done the Liver Cleanse %26amp; Does it really work?
I did the liver cleanse 5 times in 4 years. I have a very ';lazy'; gallbladder. I used to have migraines every other day, or one week in a row, tinnitus, and not to mention I was scheduled for surgery(gallbladder).After the first cleanse I felt awesome, and I got rid all of those symptoms. Make sure you take acidophilus for at least one week after this procedure. It balance the friendly bacteria, and make your digestive tract function better.

Most definitely liver cleanses work. I have a brother in law that was severely sick. So my sister in law bought him a liver cleanse and his health improved dramatically and quickly. There is an informational page at www.thedetoxtea.com Report Abuse

Liver cleanses work!! Everyone in my family has done them with great results. No more migraines, back aches and fatigue. It's simple, quick, inexpensive and effective. You could probably empty out a few hospitals with a simple liver cleansing. Report Abuse

do the NINJA cleanse....lemon juice and some kind of pepper and some kind of an enema....Celebrities do it for quick movies and it also makes them lose 15 to 20 pounds in 5 to 7 days.... Ninjadiet . look it up on Blingo or Google.
There is no such thing as a ';liver cleanse'; ! Anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant or a charlatan.
Well my parents have and yes they said it had worked
I would agree with Megan, that the type of cleanse you are talking about can be dangerous; people who have done it have ended up with gallstones stuck in their bile duct, and emergency surgery.





Toxins and foreign substances in our tissue can lead to premature aging, disease, and pain. Natural herbs for detoxing can be beneficial if your body is not independently eliminating efficiently, or you have been exposed to a large amount of toxins. These would include pesticides, air pollution, plastics, cleaners, solvents, alcohol (in large quantities), preservatives, food coloring, hair dyes, etc.





The reason the detoxification herbs must be respected is that they are designed to 鈥榬emove fire toxins鈥?from the body. In order to remove 鈥榝ire toxins鈥? you must utilize very cold herbs typically. Eventually, these cause a Yin/Yang imbalance in the body. We typically recommend a ten day to two month course of detoxification before patients begin tonic herbal therapy. The exception is with chemotherapy patients, or those who have been exposed to severe toxin poisoning; I have had several patients who painted cars, airplanes, or refinished floors who required a longer course of treatment.





Our body does an amazing job of eliminating toxins all by itself. It is only when the body becomes overwhelmed with a large quantity of toxins, or an especially potent toxin, that it is unable to perform the various functions of elimination. The body is wise, and initially attempts to store toxins in fat cells far away from vital organ systems. This is why people often become ill when loosing weight rapidly. The less desirable scenario exists when the toxins circulate in the arteries or are lodged in organ tissue or muscle tissue. Often, toxin act as free radicals; these unstable molecules create tissue damage.





Patients often ask about natural herbs that can 鈥榗leanse the blood.鈥?This is a bit of a misnomer, because organs are ultimately responsible for cleansing the blood, however, there are specific herbs that act to strengthen those organ systems.
If you want to do a proper liver detoxification I would not recommend doing the one that entails consuming olive oil and lemon juice. There has been MULTIPLE studies done on the particular cleanse because a lot of people pass ';gall stones'; when on this cleanse. The problem was that when they analyzed these ';gall stones'; they found that they were composed of lemon juice and olive oil (the two products had congealed to form stones). There are much better ways to detoxify your liver and gall bladder. I would suggest going to see a registered Naturopathic Doctor because we are properly trained to recommend and lead you through healthy detoxifications. A lot of complications can arise in people that do this particular detox you are suggesting so i would be very cautious. There are many other diets, supplements and herbs that can be very effective. Drinking lemon juice in warm water before you eat however is a good thing. Lemon juice has been shown to stimulate the liver and therefore is helpful when doing a detox. Just be careful with all the information you read off the internet, you should seek out an alternative health care provider that is properly trained!!!





Added: And for those people that say ';detoxification does nothing';...just tell them to test your AST, ALT, CYP450 (liver enzymes) before and after a cleanse and then have them explain how these changes are possible if liver detox does nothing???
To the ';Board Certified Doctor';


I guess that 4 hours of Health education you received in Medical School, back in what your first year of study makes you an expert.. You have no clue what a liver cleanse can do as I pasted another persons posting about testing.





When you do a Cleanse see a ND and not a MD, because ND's have forgotten more then an MD will ever know about health.. MD's just want to control the symtoms with drugs and not help your body heal itself.. Why for one simple reason.. $$$


Medical Doctors are great for Emergencies, but for your health, and what it takes to be healthy, listen to people who know how to live a long healthy life.. MD's life span is less then the general population by 4.5 years..

Hi Nature





Doing a liver/gallbladder cleanse (as well as a colon cleanse) are two very important things if you want to heal yourself of an illness or disease. It is important to know that the liver is the major fat burning organ in the body. The liver is the only organ that can pump fat out of the body, and the liver is the filter and cleanser of the bloodstream. Every single person, in my opinion, has a sluggish liver. If your liver is sluggish you cannot burn fat properly, you cannot get fat out of the body properly, and you cannot filter and clean your blood properly. Therefore, if you have a sluggish liver you are absolutely guaranteeing yourself illness and disease. Your liver is sluggish because of all the chemicals and toxins in the food that you eat, and all the nonprescription and prescription drugs. Most notably, if you are on cholesterol-reducing drugs, you absolutely have a sluggish liver. If you have ever taken an antibiotic in your life, the antibiotic has killed the friendly flora in your intestine, causing a Candida yeast overgrowth, which always goes and attacks the liver. When you do a liver cleanse, almost everyone feels so much better they can't believe the difference.





Best of health to you
