Gall Stones Detox Diet

Introduction to Gall Stones...

The gall bladder is a small organ located directly under the liver. It acts as a bile reservoir; it concentrates bile which is secreted by the liver and is used by the body to digest fats. If the liver is overloaded with toxins and saturated fats, the bile (which carries toxins and fats) will eventually inflame the gall bladder. When enough cholesterol deposits (from saturatedfats) have formed, they crystallize with the bile to form Gall Stones. If the gall bladder becomes inflamed, it causes severe pain in the upper right abdomen. This is accompanied by fever, nausea and vomiting. This condition must be treated immediately as it can be life threatening.

According to the peer reviewed medical journal Medical Hypotheses, the key to correcting Gall Stones is to stopoverloading the liver with toxins and saturated fats. Remember, cholesterol deposits from saturated fats cause Gall Stones, so avoiding saturated fats in your diet is the key. Saturated fats do not exist in the vegetable kingdom. They are only available in meat and dairy foods. Therefore, "vegetarian diets offer protection against Gall Stones." Medical Hypotheses, 40(2),February 1993, p. 81-84


The Gall Stones Detox Diet

The key to flushing and protecting against Gall Stones is in your diet. Since your diet causes Gall Stones, changing it will have a very dramatic effect. Most people notice a significant reduction in pain within 2-3 days of starting the Detox Diet.

The first step is to drink the Gall Stones flush drink in the morning.

The gallstone flush consists of
-8 oz. Apple juice (ordilute with water)
-3-6 cloves of raw organic garlic
-1-2 inches of raw organic ginger root

mix well in blender. This drink may help dissolve and flush Gall Stones.

Eat a well balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts/seeds. This low saturated fat, high fiber diet is a must for flushing and protecting against Gall Stones. Flaxseed oil is needed for repair and prevention of Gall Stones as it contains essential fatty acids.

What's NOT in the Detox Diet...

All Animal Foods: dairy foods (milk, cheese, butter, cream, icecream), fish, meat, chicken, turkey, eggs, fried and greasyfoods, margarine, and all other processed foods and animal derived products from your diet. These foods are laced with chemicals, pesticides, and toxins as well as high levels of saturated fats which cause Gall Stones and inflammation.
