In my most recent Newsletter, I featured the Liver as an important organ to cleanse. With the exception of the skin, the liver is the largest organ in the body and performs over 500 functions, far more than any other organ in the body. We cannot be healthy or recover from illness without a strong, clean well-functioning liver. If the liver is unable to carry out its full function, not only does it become congested and weak; all other organs will be more challenged as a result.
If you want to do more specific liver cleansing, you can try a liver/gallstone flush at home. This flush can be done in just 24 hours, so it is easy to fit into a busy schedule. It is recommended that you have done a full 7-day cleanse prior to this flush, mainly to take the toxic pressure off your organs and to be sure that your body is alkaline.
Gallstones Released Naturally
In the days before the cleanse, it is important to avoid fried and fatty foods so your liver is not over-worked or stressed. Avoid avocado, cheese, nuts and fatty meats for at least 3 to 5 days before this cleanse. If you work a normal Monday – Friday work week, it is best to plan to do this cleanse on Friday night, that way you have the entire weekend to rest, relax and recover.
The most common recipe to use for this cleanse comes from Dr. Hulda Clark, author of A Cure for All Diseases. If this is the first time you are trying this cleanse, I recommend that you use this formula, outlined below. If you release more than 200 stones in the first flush, it is recommended that you repeat the cleanse every 6-8 weeks until you have less than 20 come out. It is believed that you may have to release up to 2,000 stones to rid yourself of allergies linked to liver congestion. On my first Gallstone//Liver Flush, I released 600 stones – no joke!
Please note that with Dr. Clark’s recipe, she recommends using ornithine to help you sleep and she also recommends to do a parasite cleanse before you do the Gallstone Flush. If you want to do those things, that’s ok; personally I have never used ornithine and I’ve done this cleanse 11 times in the past 7 years. I did not do a parasite cleanse initially, although I have done them since…in my opinion you do not have to do a parasite cleanse prior to this flush, but admittedly you may get better results if you do so.
Preparation
Eat a diet high in alkaline-forming foods and low in fats for at least 3-5 days before the cleanse.
Help to gently prepare the liver by having a glass of fresh apple juice every day for 1 week prior to the cleanse. Apple juice helps to dissolve the stones.
Ingredients
Instructions
Choose a day like Friday or Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day. Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success. Stop the parasite program too, the day before. Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal, fruit, fruit juice, bread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk). This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones.
2:00 PM. Do not eat or drink after 2 o’clock. If you break this rule you could feel quite ill later. Get your Epsom salts ready. Mix 4 tbs. in 3 cups (750 ml) water and pour this into a jar. This makes four servings, ¾ cup (185 ml) each. Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only).
6:00 PM. Drink one serving (¾ cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts. If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tbs. in ¾ cup water now. You may add 1/8 tsp. vitamin C powder to improve the taste. You may also drink a few mouthfuls of water afterwards or rinse your mouth. Get the olive oil and citrus out to warm up.
8:00 PM. Repeat by drinking another ¾ cup (185 ml) of Epsom salts.You haven’t eaten since two o’clock, but you won’t feel hungry. Get your bedtime chores done. The timing is critical for success.
9:45 PM. Pour ½ cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar. Squeeze the citrus fruit (grapefruit, lime or lemon) by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have at least ½ cup. Add this to the olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this).
Now visit the bathroom one or more time, even if it makes you late for your ten o’clock drink. Don’t be more than 15 minutes late. You will get fewer stones.
10:00 PM. Drink the potion you have mixed. Take it all to your bedside if you want, but drink it standing up. Get it down within 5 minutes (fifteen minutes for very elderly or weak persons).
Lie down immediately. You might fail to get stones out if you don’t. The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out. Be ready for bed ahead of time. Don’t clean up the kitchen. As soon as the drink is down walk to your bed and lie down on your right side with your knees pulled up close to your chest. Try to think about what is happening in the liver. Try to keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes. You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no pain because the bile duct valves are open (thank you Epsom salts!). Go to sleep, you may fail to get stones out if you don’t. Try to sleep in this position.
Next morning. Upon awakening (6:00 am) take your third dose of Epsom salts. If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts. You may go back to bed. Don’t take this potion before 6:00 am.
8:00 am (2 Hours Later.) Take your fourth (the last) dose of Epsom salts. You may go back to bed again.
After 2 More Hours you may eat. Start with fruit juice. Half an hour later eat fruit. One hour later you may eat regular food but keep it light. By supper you should feel recovered.
How well did you do? Expect diarrhea in the morning. Use a flashlight to look for gallstones in the toilet with the bowel movement. Look for the green kind since this is proof that they are genuine gallstones, not food residue. Only bile from the liver is pea green. The bowel movement sinks but gallstones float because of the cholesterol inside. Count them all roughly, whether tan or green. You will need to total 2000 stones before the liver is clean enough to rid you of allergies or bursitis or upper back pains permanently. The first cleanse may rid you of them for a few days, but as the stones from the rear travel forward, they give you the same symptoms again. You may repeat cleanses at two week intervals. Never cleanse when you are [acutely] ill.
Sometimes the bile ducts are full of cholesterol crystals that did not form into round stones. They appear as a “chaff” floating on top of the toilet bowl water. It may be tan colored, harboring millions of tiny white crystals. Cleansing this chaff is just as important as purging stones.
How safe is the liver cleanse? It is very safe. My opinion is based on over 500 cases, including many persons in their seventies and eighties. None went to the hospital; none even reported pain. However it can make you feel quite ill for one or two days afterwards, although in every one of these cases the maintenance parasite program had been neglected. This is why the instructions direct you to complete the parasite and kidney cleanse programs first.
CONGRATULATIONS
You have taken out your gallstones without surgery! I like to think I have perfected this recipe, but I certainly can not take credit for its origin. It was invented hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago, THANK YOU, HERBALISTS!
Gallstones can be flushed easily & naturally with no pain!
This procedure contradicts many modern medical viewpoints. Gallstones are thought to be formed in the gallbladder, not the liver. They are thought to be few, not thousands. They are not linked to pains other than gallbladder attacks. It is easy to understand why this is thought: by the time you have acute pain attacks, some stones are in the gallbladder, are big enough and sufficiently calcified to see on X-ray, and have caused inflammation there. When the gallbladder is removed the acute attacks are gone, but the bursitis and other pains and digestive problems remain.
The truth is self-evident. People who have had their gallbladder surgically removed still get plenty of green, bile-coated stones, and anyone who cares to dissect their stones can see that the concentric circles and crystals of cholesterol match textbook pictures of “gallstones” exactly.

We have done this cleanse a few years ago and could not believed it worked…it was amazing. Maybe we will give it a try again…we will have to build the courage to drink olive oil and grapefruit again though.
Yes, it’s not the most refreshing taste that’s for sure…but well worth it. I just had a friend do this cleanse for the first time ever; he was a skeptic at first but when he passed a stone the size of a quarter, he was convinced!
Does everyone have gallstones? If I do the cleanse will I definitely pass those little pellets:)?
I suffered from stomach pain and burning mostly, couldn’t sleep well and just hated those extra pounds I couldn’t get rid of no matter what I did. Now I stumbled upon this system that is easy and it doesn’t require expensive medication or difficult exercises.
Hi Skylor,
If you are eating or have eaten a Standard American Diet, then you most likely have some gallstones. The success of this cleanse depends on how alkaline your body is – if you are acidic, you are much more likely to have unsuccessful results. Also, having done some colon cleansing beforehand increases your chances of passing stones easily. Most people pass a few ‘pellets’ although some pass ‘chaff’ or even thick sludge. Oh joy!
I’ve done two flushes now but I’m not happy with the results, the first flush produced about 50 stones and the second only about 15. I’m about to do a third flush but I’m looking into ways of achieving greater results. You mention sleep as being pivotal to releasing the stones, on both of my flushes I’ve barely slept at all – probably due to anxiety about the flush, and I just want to know if you had any more comments on the relationship between sleep and the release of stones.
Thanks
Hi Pamela, In my experience I find the most important part of sleeping is that it allows your body to remain still. Additionally, It is important not to eat any fats in the days before the flush – even good fats such as avocado and coconut oil can slow the liver down and diminish your results. You may also want to increase the dosage of olive oil to lemon juice ratio and see if that helps. Let me know how it goes!
Does it matter if you are thin? I only weigh 103 pounds. Would the amount you have to drink remain the same?
Also, have you heard of people with gallbladder problems having pain in the upper right quadrant, upper thigh / groin area and low grade fever? I am at a lost on this. I’ve been experiencing this for 7 yrs off and on. I am having an ultrasound done tomorrow, but somehow don’t feel confident it will reveal anything as all prior tests never showed anything. I’ve been told it must be muscular/skeletal? If that were true, I would not get a low grade fever during these attacks.
You can be thin and still have gallstones. I had one client with chronic knee pain, so bad that he scheduled surgery. After doing several gallstone flushes, he passed one large gallstone and the knee pain immediately disappeared, never to return. Needlesstosay, he canceled the surgery. True story!!
Does being thin affect the amount you have to drink for the flush?
The formula is the same for everyone…being thin should not affect how much you drink. Conversely, if you are larger in size, you should not drink more of of the drink.
What is the parasite cleansing that you mentioned in here? Do you have the procedure for this?
The parasite cleanse should vary according to the individual based on whether or not they have done any type of cleansed before, where they have strength and weakness in their elimination organs (kidneys, skin, lungs, liver and colon), what their current diet is like and how much time they are willing to dedicate to the cleanse. Best to book a private session with me so we can optimize your parasite cleansing program!
@Jennifer Can I use any other juice that grapefruit juice such as regular grape. I have an allergy sensitivity toward this juice and I really want to follow this model as it is highly recommended. Please let me know. Thank you
Regular grape juice would not give you the same effect for this particular cleanse. You can use any other citrus juice, such as fresh squeezed orange, lemon or lime. Hope that helps!
I have done this cleanse a couple of times and had
great results. I tell alot of people about it but I have one
question, can people who do not have a gallbladder
do this cleanse and is it safe for them?
Hello Cindy,
Yes, they can. But they should prepare for the cleanse more than average, especially taking the time to get alkaline in the diet. Otherwise, they may end up just throwing the ‘final drink’ right back up. Most likely, their diet was not so great (high in fat or fried foods) or they engaged in too much exercise to become deficient in organic sodium which is why they had to have the gallbladder removed in the first place. A gentle path back to health and balance would be the best plan.
The gallstones being released are a actually in the liver, and during this cleanse they drop into the small intestine via the portal vein. As long as you have all of those parts intact, you should be able to do this cleanse. Hope that helps.
35 year old male, and all I can say is thank you!! First time around, I literally passed over 500 stones! My energy level is as high now as when I was 18! I’m not sure if anyone else has had this happen, but my vision is also 100 times better after this cleanse. My body was in need of this, and I want to thank you so much for forwarding this information on!
I have learned to pinch my nose and chug down the solutions…not bad at all after a little mouth rinse! I would recommend this cleanse to anyone having symptoms relating to gallbladder attacks! I just saved a ton of money by doing this, and I still have my gallbladder!
Great news on your cleanse! I just recently did this flush myself for the 14th time (in 10 years). The last 2 times I did the flush, I had to throw up in the middle of the night, about 4am both times, like clock-work. It was disappointing to vomit after making all the preparations, but as many people know this can happen during this cleanse. I didn’t really know why it happened after 11 times of doing it successfully. Recently I completed a 40-day water fast where I released over 15 feet of parasites (ascaris roundworm). Last night when I did the flush for the 14th time, I also woke up at about 4am (5 hours after taking the ‘cocktail’) feeling quite ill, but I managed to keep everything down.
My conclusion for all of these reactions goes back to Dr. Hulda Clark explaining that within each gallstone lies a dead parasite which the body sees as a toxin and therefore packs fat around to protect itself (This is one theory as to why gallstones form anyway). If that is true, it could explain why my body, when so infested with parasites, could not handle the flush and ‘rejected’ the drink. I take it as a good sign that last night I was able to complete the flush, especially after releasing so many parasites in recent months. I’ve been passing gallstones all day today, probably about 400 in total. During the night, my head became full of mucous and all day I have had a runny nose and feel like I have the flu. Things are happening for sure!
All I can say is that this cleanse is powerful and effective. I also felt that my body really needed this, especially after the water fast.
As a follow-up to this, all flu-like symptoms were gone within 24 hours. Probably would have cleared sooner had I done an enema, but I was feeling too lethargic at the time to do it! On Post-Cleanse Day #2, I drank a lot of Puerrh Tea, a fermented raw tea from China which helps the liver digest fats, and I do think this also helped to take the excess burden off the liver. Healthy blessings to all!
Hi Jennifer
You say, that it is wise to eat a diet high in alkaline-forming foods and low in fats for at least 3-5 days before the cleanse.
Can you please briefly outline what you would recommend?
Thanks
hello… im wanting to try this gallstone flush for the first time. My sister had just went to hospital because of pains and thats how she found out about her stones.. the doctors want to remove her gallbladder. thats when i did some research and found your website. I recommended for my sister to hold off on this surgery and to try your remedy. So me and her plan to try it out. i hope it works because all the other comments sound good. However, do we have to do the parasite cleansing first?? if so , what are your ingrediants? please get back to me .. thankyou..
Thanks for all of the great info, Jennifer! I just love your site. I am curious about something though. I would think that with you being on such a healthful diet…you wouldn’t have gallstones. Especially 400 since your last flush. How does this happen, since I thought being on a standard American diet was the cause of gallstones?
Hi Amanda,
One does not erase 40 years of eating in one gallstone flush. The liver is a large organ (up to 4 pounds) and will not eliminate all stones at one time. It takes a series of flushes to get them out, and over time as one does subsequent flushes, they will notice that the number of stones decreases significantly especially when they have also changed the diet to a healthy low-fat, no fried food, vegan, plant-based diet. The process of detox and cleansing is a process, in the same way that it can take a long time to clean a house….and when you start to pull out furniture and drawers, you see even more work that needs to be done! The good news is that the body responds very well and quickly to positive change, so you can expect to start feeling better and better if you commit to some cleansing with a good change of diet. In the last flush I did, I released about 15-20 stones and I had not done a gallstone flush in over 18 months. This, in my opinion, is a very good result. I hope that helps!
Blessings, Jennifer
Hi Catherine,
Please refer to my article on Acid/Alkaline foods for more info:

Thanks,
Jennifer
Hello Jessica,
The standard herbal formula for a parasite cleanse includes black walnut, wormwood and clove combined with a cleansing diet high in raw garlic with no sugar, alcohol or wheat for a period of 3-4 weeks. For further details, I would suggest scheduling an online session so we can personalize your detox based on your body, taking into account any areas of inflammation, stress or toxicity.
Thanks,
Jennifer
44 year old male, over 200 stones just this morning. I actually went to an MD yesterday who prescribed both blood work and an RUQ sonogram which came up CLEAN (hmph!). While he did not discourage me from doing the cleanse, he didn’t expect that any stones would pass or that the treatment would offer me any relief. Can’t wait to show him my little specimen jar! Still have one more epsom drink; so the tally may rise… Thanks, Jennifer, for sharing.
@arizonakeith – I do have a question. There is a lot of debate as to where these things really come from, whether or not they originate in the liver or gallbladder, or can be categorized as “stones” at all. I’ve read everything from saponified olive oil to precipitations of materials within the bowel (excrement). I’m wondering if Jennifer could speak to that on the forum. Wondering what’s the real story and data to back that up.
Is this cleanse safe to do during pregnancy?
@Jennifer Thompson Sounds like a flush worth pursuing. I have a question about drinking water. Maybe I missed it in the instructions above, if so – forgive me?
I’m assuming drinking water through out the day is important? Does one drink only distillers? Or filtered? Thanks.
Hi there. I absolutely need to flush my liver as I suffer from back pain and severe right body pain but I am afraid the epson salt will not match with the hemorrhoid i suffer from as well. Could you help advise me on what to do ?
50 yr old male – had typical gallbladder symtoms and tests indicated a dead gall bladder and surgery scheduled for two weeks out. found this cleanse and said what the heck! almost couldn’t get the olive oil down but in the end could not believe the stuff that came out! unbelievable! went for a pre-surgery check and wouldn’t you know my ‘dead” gallbladder was doing just fine! this cleanse undoubtedly saved me having my gallbladder removed. thank you, thank you, thank you!!! are once a year repeats enough?
PS – have since also self diagnosed myself with a gluten intolerance, lost 25#, have absolutely no more bloating, pain, diarrhea, etc unless some gluten slips in – going on three years now and feel great! my Dr doesn’t believe me.
Hi Jennifer
I have completed the Liver gallblader flush and as you said it worked, with green balls floating in the toilet. Fantastic.
My thought is could these green balls be liver bile attaching to the Epson salts and not gallstones
Has anyone in your knowledge had a ultrasound afterwards showing the gallstones gone or had them tested sorry for being negative but I am just inquisitive
Thanks very much for the info and recipe
Cheers John
Hi Carolyn, Yes, please drink water when you are thirsty. Whatever water you normally drink will be fine. Thank you!
No. I would not recommend to do any cleansing or detox while pregnant. Thank you!
Hi Keith, I have done the cleanse about 15 times; in the early years I had many stones removed (more than 600 on my first try!). Now, with additional cleansing and change of diet, when I do this cleanse, I might have 10 stones or less. So, the ‘theory’ that it is just olive oil does not make sense, because if that were true, I should get the same amount out every time. All I can say is try the cleanse for yourself and decide. Hope that helps!
Hi John, I had one client reverse cirrhosis of the liver from doing this cleanse with massive change of diet and lifestyle (He repeated the cleanse many times over a 2-year period). His doctor told him he was ‘crazy’ but he is no longer yellow, tired and sickly and he is the biggest advocate of this cleanse that I know! As for ultrasounds, I cannot recall any case in particular; most people do not bother going back to the doctor when they are feeling good in the same way that most people don’t take their car in when it is running fine. If you hear of any particular cases, please feel free to share!
Hi Jennifer,
I just had a GB ultrasound and found that I have 5-10 stones that may be causing my attacks. I haven’t had one for awhile now since I’ve changed my diet.
I am nervous to start the cleanse, hoping to get rid of these stones and whatever residue is behind it.
What is the largest size stone you’ve heard that has passed? My only concern is that the one that I have is about 2cm(20mm) and would the epsom salts and oil be able to soften and move freely?
What also have you heard about Gold Coin Grass? I heard also that it can help soften and loosen the stones but it will take longer.
I started experiencing acute pain on my right side since last night around 10 and I threw up every 30 mins all night. I went to the doctor today and she diagnosed my gallbladder as the problem. She wants me to go to the ER for additional testing. I don’t want to have my gallbladder removed so instead of going to the ER I’d like to do a flush. Is it safe to do it so soon after such a severe attack? I’ve had gallbladder problems for years and have done flushes before.
I can only recommend you to follow your doctor’s advice. If she says you should get additional testing, then do it. See what the tests reveal. I wish you all the best!
I did the flush a few weeks ago for the first time and only saw a handful of floating stones. Given my past poor eating habits and prescription drug use, I was surprised and disappointed. Any ideas why?
i have done the cleanse a couple of times because i had to go to the hospital back in November because the pain was so intense and of course the first thing the doctors want to do is have my gallbladder removed and i have just heard some cases where people had it removed and they still have problems if not more. every time i have done the cleanse i have had great results and have felt much better and the pain was gone. i just did another cleanse because i started having some discomfort which i was surprised because i have been really strict on my diet but this pain wasnt like the pain i felt the first time i had a gallbladder attack. i did the cleanse and i am still having the pain its like a burning pain in my stomach. went to the doctor and they said it could be acid re flux and heartburn and ulcers but they also think it could be my gallbladder i just don’t know what to do because i did the cleanse and i thought that it would help my pain. shouldn’t the cleanse make any kind of pain associated with the gallbladder to stop? and do you think that since i did the cleanse that maybe it is acid re flux and heartburn and not my gallbladder? i just don’t know what else to do because i have been on a diet to help gallbladder i have been doing your cleanses and i am still having pain and so many people are telling me i should just get it taken out but i would really like to keep it. can someone just have a bad gallbladder?
I just needed to clarify that November is when i had my first gallbladder attack and that is when they wanted to remove it but i found your cleanse and did that instead while watching my diet and have had great success except this last cleanse and that is why my husband and i don’t think that it is my gallbladder that it is the acid re flux and heartburn. sorry i am leaving 2 comments if you could get back with me i would greatly appreciate it thanks
Hi Alison, We need to look at your body as a whole and not just at one symptom in order to get to the bottom of this. I’d be happy to review your case in a private session. Please go to http://healthybliss.net/iridology-online-appointments-available/ for more info and details on how to book online. Thank you and I wish you a healthy day!
Hi Erin, Were you eating high fat foods in the 3 days before the cleanse? Even avocado and nuts can slow down the liver for this cleanse. Best to eat as little fat as possible for 2-3 days before doing it and especially no fat the day of the cleanse. Blessings!
