You are attempting to decongest the liver through a physical cleanse which will mechanically remove large amounts of old bile deposits as well as stones residing in the gall bladder. It is not designed as a one off, but should be performed on a regular basis over the next six months at regular 4 to 6 weekly intervals. That does not mean that single treatments do not give benefit, merely that the full benefit will not be attained until the liver and gall bladder have been thoroughly cleansed - this may take 3 to 10 cleanses or more dependent on many factors. It does not necessarily have to involve the use of a specific protocol between cleanses, though it does make sense to do so. You are aiming to achieve a detoxification of the liver, so it helps if one avoids toxifying it between cleanses as much as possible. You do not need to be completely absolutist between cleanses, though one should endeavour to be so when performing the week-long protocol. Nevertheless one should attempt to strictly moderate lifestlye over this time if you wish to achieve the benefits you deserve. Duration The liver / gall-bladder flush takes 7 days in total. The first 5 days are preparation days to enable the softening of any stones and to prepare the liver and gall bladder for the flush on day 6. Day 7 is recovery day after the flush - you may feel quite tired on the day after the flush, so it is best timed to coincide with weekends if they are free for you. When to perform As mentioned above, you should choose when to start the protocol on the basis of when you are going to do the flush. Ideally you should have two consecutive days 'off' where you can be relaxing at home or in an environment you feel comfortable in. The first day will be for the fasting/flush day, the second for recovery. In an ideal world, you should have a second recovery day 'just in case' for the first flush. Every patient is different, and how they react to this flush does vary somewhat - some feel instantly energized and cleansed, others it takes time. Some feel no initial benefit at all, though it is a minority, and persistence has proven itself many times in these cases. Other treatment The only other essential treatment is the use of at least one but preferably 2 to 3 colonics during the liver flush week. All are important for various reasons, though the most essential is the post-flush colonic. The pre-flush colonic(s) are designed to reduce the impact and load on the liver from impacted material in the colon, and thus enhance both the flush itself, as well as generally making the flush more comfortable. Basic Principles During this week you should be consuming a healthy diet composed of whole foods, steamed and raw vegetables, and plenty of fresh fruit. All of your food this week should be in its natural form (no processed foods please), and should be organic wherever possible. Liver irritants should be stopped for a minimum of the week of the cleanse, and the week after. Better still is to minimise the intake of these substances for at least 2 weeks prior to the flush. If you are a smoker, you should seriously attempt to give-up completely for the duration of the flush week and for at least 2 days after the flush. 1 Colonic Hydrotherapy ● O to o g ● DeayC u sl g ● M g eiF l T ea y ● D txPo rms O o eT ea y s my l y e o i r o nei t l n a n t id h rp c e eo rga ● zn h rp NATURAL 140 HARLEY STREET HYGIENE WESTMINSTER LONDON CLINIC W1N 1AH MOBILE: 07751 544573 NATURALHYGIENECLINIC@YAHOO.COM TEL: 020 74864227 WWW.NATURALHYGIENECLINIC.CO.UK Dietary Principles during flush week There are a fair few foods and food groups that should be avoided or minimised during your liver cleanse to enhance the process. Avoid:             Fat (do not purchase low fat products however) Sugar Eggs Wheat Gluten containing grains Dairy Pasta Potatoes and other nightshades Animal protein (2 to 3 portions maximum during this week) Processed foods Caffeine Nicotine Do consume:       1 to 2 litres fresh organic apple juice daily (see below) Fresh vegetables Fresh fruit Salads Carbs: Brown rice, millet, quinoa, buchwheat, amaranth Proteins: tofu, bean sprouts, alfalfa, fish, mushrooms, seeds (reduce intake of nuts / avocados) Reduce your animal protein consumption, and remove high fat foods from your diet (this includes nuts and avocados this week). You should refrain from eggs unless specifically instructed otherwise. Apple Juice: Fresh organic apple juice, not made from concentrate. Grove Fresh is readily available in most supermarkets. You may also use their apple and cranberry variety during this week. Fresh pressed juice from fresh organic apples is of course the ideal, but not always feasible. If you have the urge, it comes highly recommended - best apples are bramleys. Bramley apple juice is not nearly as sharp as the fruit itself. Flush day: Basically start the day with just fruit on flush day. Carry on eating fruit until 2pm. After this time you should refrain from any food until the following morning. This is very important to reduce the digestive load on the liver prior to the flush.     6 p.m. - take your first dose of Colosan. Mix 2 heaped teaspoons of Colosan mixed with water, and swallow. Follow with the juice of half a lemon mixed with water. 8 p.m. - take your second dose of Colosan in the same manner as above. 9.45 p.m. - mix your flush cocktail. 10 p.m. - take this mixture, preferably all in one (it is just like drinking vinaigrette, really not as bad as it sounds). If you find the mixture unpalatable, try consuming with a wide bore straw. Whatever method you choose ensure you finish the mixture in under 5 minutes. 2 Colonic Hydrotherapy ● O to o g ● DeayC u sl g ● M g eiF l T ea y ● D txPo rms O o eT ea y s my l y e o i r o nei t l n a n t id h rp c e eo rga ● zn h rp NATURAL 140 HARLEY STREET HYGIENE WESTMINSTER LONDON CLINIC W1N 1AH MOBILE: 07751 544573 NATURALHYGIENECLINIC@YAHOO.COM TEL: 020 74864227 WWW.NATURALHYGIENECLINIC.CO.UK This flush cocktail is composed of:    Half a cup of extra-virgin olive oil (preferably organic and unrefined) Two thirds of a cup of lemon juice or grapefruit juice. 10 drops of black walnut tincture (if possible) Mix ingredients together in a glass jar and shake well. [Personally I find that lemon juice is probably preferable, but grapefruit juice works well too. Black walnut tincture is available from Nutri on 0800 212742.] After taking the mixture: Go straight to bed after taking this mixture (best to take it whilst standing next to the bed, so you just have to hop in). Lie on your back for the following 20 minutes with your head raised with a couple of pillows. After this, attempt to fall asleep as usual. You may find that you need to wake up in the night to go to the toilet. Make sure that you inspect each bowel movement. - you are looking for the passage of gall and liver stones, which you should see as green, brown or black stones in the toilet bowl. Absolutely no smoking on 'flush day' if you are a smoker. Also on post-flush day. Next morning:    6 a.m. - take another Colosan dose like the evening before. 8 a.m. - take 4th Colosan dose 10 a.m. - take some fruit juice, and then from this point onwards have fruit today. If possible try to get a colonic on this day or the following. This is to enhance further bowel release of old bilious and cholesterol deposits that may now be sitting in the bowel. The point of the purge is physical removal of this material from the body, not mere mobilization. If you cannot get a colonic on either of these two days, then I would suggest you do the following. 'Emergency' colonic substitute protocol: Take another full teaspoon dose of Colosan around 2 pm, and a further one at 4pm - these last two doses are intended as a colonic replacement. Please realise that this is a poor substitute for a colonic, though may be used if absolutely necessary. Hope you get on OK with that - if you have any further questions just give me a call. Take care and good luck. If you have any questions please call me, or contact me by email.
