Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse FAQ’s

What is A Healing Crisis?

This term describes a common phenomenon occurring during cleansing. You may feel worse during and after cleansing than you did before you started it. The accumulation of toxic material must be processed to be removed from the body. This process can include physical symptoms caused by these toxins as they are further metabolized or oxidized.

The most common symptoms include: fatigue, headache, minor rash, lack of mental clarity, joint or muscle ache, irritability, difficulty sleeping (or sleeping too much), or mood swings. Some people experience multiple symptoms while others have one or none. These symptoms will go away in 2 to 3 days as the body naturally expels these toxins.

What Will Come Out of Me?

Usually the first cleanse will purge over 100 liverstones and/or gallstones from the liver and gallbladder respectively. These stones can range in size from very tiny sand-like granules to the diameter of a quarter. The stones will most likely be mixed in with your fecal matter and may be difficult to distinguish. Of course, many other types of toxic material trapped in the liver, gallbladder, and intestines can exit the body and may be more difficult to identify.

How Will I Know When I’m Detoxified?

Everyone’s results differ depending on their diet, exercise patterns, and age as well as physical and emotional stress levels. The stools may continue to be loose or semi-solid due to the oxidation process from the Oxy-Powder®.

Some people will notice a foul smell in the initial stages of cleansing. Over time, there should be a noticeable decrease in foul-smelling bowel movements. A normal and healthy bowel moves in a timely manner, with the stool being lighter in color, relatively smooth, and slick in appearance.

The liver and gallbladder are never 100% clean since their intended function is to metabolize toxic and potentially toxic material. In terms of cleansing, most people require a minimum of 3 cleansing sessions followed by periodic cleanses once or twice per year for maintenance.

One of the best suggestions is to judge from the lessening of your symptoms. Many symptoms will simply resolve spontaneously after the 2nd or 3rd cleanse, while others may take 6 or 7 consecutive cleanses and require the identification and resolution of other factors, i.e. supplementation, external environment, emotional trauma, spinal/nerve damage, etc.

What is the Purpose of Livatrex™?

Livatrex™ is an energetically enhanced blend of powerful herbs that support detoxification and normal function of the liver and gallbladder. These herbs work synergistically with the malic acid found in apple juice to soften and break down stones that may be present.

How Does Epsom Salt Work?

The magnesium in the Epsom salts relaxes the gallbladder and bile ducts, allowing for easy passage of the softened, shrunken stones.

What Happens if I Feel Worse after the First Cleanse?

Many people feel more energetic and experience an increased sense of wellbeing after the initial cleanse. However, the body can still be metabolizing toxins and this may cause some individuals to feel a worsening of previous symptoms or may even feel new complaints such as those listed under the Healing Crisis section.

If you feel worse, I strongly suggest that you need to continue with the cleansing process and perform a couple more cleanses. In addition, adopting a raw and organic diet and drinking only purified water along with plenty of rest may help you to feel better. Massage, ion footbaths and far-infrared saunas may also help to eliminate toxins from the body.

Can the Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse Harm Me in Any Way?

Hundreds of thousands of individuals have performed these and similar flushes over many years without experiencing harm. It is best to remember that every person is different and may have underlying health issues requiring a doctor’s supervision. Cleansing has a remarkable history of safety and should not cause any type of harm.

What if A Stone Becomes Lodged in My Bile Duct?

The first four days plus steps on the final day are designed to prevent this from occurring. In the very unlikely event you experience pain near the liver or right shoulder and feel that a stone may be lodged, you may repeat the dosage of Epsom salt and the olive oil/lemon juice mixture. In our experience, this has resolved the very few instances in which a person has reported that a stone may have been lodged.

How Do I Determine My Maintenance Dose of Oxy-Powder® to Help Keep My Intestines Clean?

Start with taking four (4) capsules in the evening on an empty stomach with a full 8oz glass of purified water. If you do not achieve 3 to 5 bowel movements the following day, increase the dosage by adding another two (2) capsules every night until you achieve 3 to 5 bowel movements the following day. The capsule amount that gives you 3 to 5 bowel movements per day will be your maintenance dosage. The intestines should be cleansed on a regular basis to prevent the accumulation of toxins entering into the bloodstream. To maintain proper intestinal health Oxy-Powder® can be taken 2 to 3 times weekly for general maintenance.

Additional Cleansing Recommendations

• Diet: Practice a whole food diet. This means the majority of your diet should consist of fresh, organic fruits, and vegetables. This type of food contains a greater amount of oxygen, enzymes, and other nutrients without toxic pesticide residue. Also, consider purchasing organic and free-range meat and poultry whenever possible to reduce pesticide, synthetic hormone, and antibiotic contamination.

• Water: Drink half your body weight in ounces per day (bodyweight in lbs/2). Drink distilled or otherwise purified water. Do not drink tap water! Evaluate the purity of the water you consume and use for any reason. Most public water contains chlorine, fluoride, and other pollutants.

  Distilled water is good but over time can leach vital nutrients from your system. Adding some organic apple cider vinegar to distilled water rectifies this. We highly recommend Wellness® filters for ultra-pure, energy enhanced water. Wellness.com Inc. provides numerous products related to water use and especially purification.

• Enzymes: Age, illness, poor diet, disease, heredity, and other factors can effect the production of digestive enzymes in the pancreas. In fact, it has been estimated we only have enough enzymes to break down 1 cooked meal daily for 120 years. If you currently have digestive disorders or simply want to supply your body with much-needed enzymes, we recommend Zymitol™, a potent plant-based enzyme.

• Exercise: Incorporate regular exercise into your daily life. Include both aerobic exercise and strength training in your routine. Stretching exercises such as yoga or Pilates are very beneficial. Water aerobics are excellent for people that suffer from joint problems or other debilitating conditions.

  Exercise supports elimination of toxins from the body. As always, please consult with your physician prior to starting an exercise routine. Rebounding on a mini trampoline is also a great way to achieve better health by improving aerobic condition, flexibility, and energy levels.

• Air: Consider the purity of the air in your environment. Indoor air pollution is often substantially high because most people use toxic products in cleaning and maintaining their homes. We recommend air filters from Indoor Purification Systems, Inc. Their Surround Air™ line utilizes air-ionizing technology and many other advanced filtration technologies.
