Liver and gall bladder flush

Most people believe that gallstones can be found only in the gall bladder but this is not true.  Most gallstones are actually formed in the liver and only a few in the gall bladder.  This can be verified easily by anyone who does a liver cleanse, regardless of whether they are a layperson, medical doctor, a scientist or someone who no longer has a gall bladder and is believed to be free of gallstones altogether.  An estimated 92% of the world’s population will develop gallstones in their gall bladder at some stage in their lives but this figure does not take account of the many more people who will develop gallstones in the liver.  Gallstones in the liver may be the main obstacle to maintaining health, youthfulness and vitality, and is one of the main reasons why people fall ill and have difficulty in recuperating.

The liver is the major controlling agent of normal growth and healthy functioning of all body cells.  Any malfunction, deficiency or abnormal growth pattern of the cell is to a large extent due to impaired liver function and the origin of most diseases can be traced to the liver, yet this important organ is rarely considered a ‘culprit’!  Since the majority of gallstones in the liver and gall bladder consist of the same ‘harmless’ constituents as are contained in liquid bile (with cholesterol being the main ingredient), they are invisible to X-ray technologies.  Stones in the liver do not show up as solid, whereas some of the gallstones (20%) occurring in the gall bladder can be made up entirely of hardened minerals (mainly calcium salts and bile pigment) which can be detected.

Bile is a green coloured alkaline fluid with many functions, apart from helping with the digestion of fat, calcium and proteins, it is needed to maintain normal fat levels in the blood, to remove toxins from the liver, to help maintain proper acid/alkaline balance in the intestinal tract, and to keep the colon from breeding harmful bacteria.  The body needs to produce between two and three pints of bile a day – many people produced only a cupful a day!
