The gallbladder cleanse is an easy and natural way to expel gallstones. What can you expect while doing this simple cleanse? Expect to be hungry for four days. Putting the joking aside, the gallbladder cleanse is a great way to expel gallstones and clean the gallbladder. The gallbladder cleanse is actually two cleanses in one. The gallbladder cleanse also cleans the urinary tract and kidneys. So the gallbladder cleanse is quite important to overall health and well-being. If you susceptible to getting bladder infections and other urinary tract conditions such as kidney stones than this cleanse is an absolute must for you. But don’t take my word for it. Do your own online research and find out all you can about it.

I know what some of you might be thinking. You’re thinking it’s impossible to expel gallstones naturally, right? Well, you’re wrong. At first I was skeptical too, I mean after all, if gallstones were so easily expelled from the body why are more people not doing this simple cleanse rather than having their gallbladders surgically removed? I believe they are skeptical. When we are conditioned since childhood to run to the doctor for every little ailment we begin to believe that doctors really are responsible for our overall health. But doctors are not responsible for our overall health and well being, we are.

Understand the difference. If I got into a car accident and severed a main artery, I wouldn’t run home and make a juice drink. No, I’m going to run as fast as I can to the nearest doctor to give me some blood. If I fell off my roof and broke my neck, I’m not going to be able to repair that by doing a colon cleanse, I will most definitely need a doctor. Do you see the difference? We need doctors for what doctors are trained for.

I do believe that people are becoming wiser to their overall health and opting for a more natural way of healing rather than using medications to mask their symptoms. The first and most important aspect about our health that we need to know is what we put into our bodies on a consistent basis is what makes us vibrant and full of energy or sick and weak. It is our responsibility to take care of our health and we do that by opting for a healthy lifestyle and way of eating.

The gallbladder cleanse is basically an apple juice fast. That’s right, an apple juice fast, so you better like apple juice. For three days you drink nothing but apple juice. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? You should use organic apple juice, but I have done this cleanse using the grocery store pure apple juice, no sugar added, and I didn’t notice any difference in how I felt.

Everyone reacts differently to how the cleanse will affect them. Every time I have done the gallbladder cleanse, which is three times, I have never experienced any side affects except for being hungry and a bit of minor stomach acid on the first day of not eating anything but apple juice. Some people on the third evening of the cleanse have experienced light to moderate cramping and still others have gotten heartburn, stomachache, and or indigestion. So this is just a guideline on what you may or may not experience.

The reason we have problems with our gallbladder in the first place is because gallstones get lodged in the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. If any of the bile ducts remain blocked for a significant period of time, severe damage or infection can occur in the gallbladder, liver, or pancreas. Diets high in fat and cholesterol and low in fiber increase the risk of gallstones due to increased cholesterol in the bile and reduced gallbladder emptying.

Foods that are the most harmful and help in the formation of gallstones are hydrogenated oils, refined sugars, white flour products like donuts, potatoes chips, french fries, deep fried foods, pasteurized dairy products, red meat, and alcohol.

If you decide to do this cleanse and you get hungry while doing it, drink more apple juice, at least a gallon a day per person and get your mind off of food by watching movies, taking walks, or reading a good book. On the third evening of the cleanse, when you are ready for bed, drink a half a cup of pure extra virgin olive oil to soften the stones; have some lemons handy for cutting the oil from the back of your throat. Then lay down on your right side to prepare your body for the expulsion of the stones for the next morning.

On the morning of the fourth day we drink a sea salt flush, which cleanses the bowels and helps to expel toxins that have accumulated in your system over the years. This flush is a large tablespoon of sea salt with an eight-ounce glass of filtered water. It is kind of salty tasting and you may drink additional water if thirsty. You may expel anywhere between 50 to 200 gallstones, or even more.

Make sure you have nothing important scheduled for the morning hours because you may be in and out of the restroom for several hours as your body rids itself of unwanted toxins and gallstones. You may eat a light dinner of broth with cooked veggies or brown rice and toast for dinner on the fourth day to get your body ready for regular eating again. Take care and happy cleansing.
