Liver Cleanse by Andreas Moritz

Cleansing of the liver and gallbladder has a long tradition in naturopathy. All ancient cultures were aware of the importance of a healthy liver. Andreas Moritz had many health issues in his youth. Due to his own sickness he studied ancient and traditional methods of liver cleansing and improved them with success.

The liver cleansing by Andreas Moritz takes six days to prepare, followed by a main phase of 16-20 hours. It is recommended to perform the cleanse in the new moon.
The liver cleanse by Andreas Moritz is a kind of fasting. During a six day period, a liter of apple juice per day should be consumed throughout the day. On the evening of the sixth day, the fasting person should take two glasses of water with Epsom salt. Before going to sleep the fasting person takes freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and olive oil. The next day, one takes a further two portions of Epsom salt. It is advisable to repeat the treatment at least six times with an interval of four weeks. The apple juice can be replaced with malic acid.

Experience shows that the treatment has usually a soothing effect and gives a feeling of lightness, energy growth and vitality. Additionally, Moritz recommends a colon cleansing prior to and after the liver cleanse in order to flush stones that are left in the intestinal folds.

For the liver cleanse by Andreas Moritz you will need the following ingredients:

1) 6 l organic apple juice
2) 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts dissolved in ¾ liter of water
3) 120 ml of cold pressed virgin olive oil
4) Fresh grapefruits, enough to fill a glass to 2/3. Another option is freshly squeezed lemon or orange
5) 1 sealable vessel

Eve of preparation period
Enema to relieve the intestine.

Preparation
1 liter of apple juice daily for the duration of 6 days. During the entire preparation time as well as during the liver cleanse cold foods should be avoided. In addition, avoid all non-vegetarian foods, dairy products and fried foods, alcohol or sumptuous meals. Medications that are not absolutely necessary, and dietary supplements should be avoided during the cleaning. It should not be eaten after 7 o clock.
On the 6th day you can still eat a light breakfast (oatmeal for example). For lunch, eat boiled or steamed vegetables with basmati rice, seasoned with unrefined sea or rock salt. It is very important not to take any proteins or animal products. After 2 o clock you are not allowed to eat any more. You can drink water or tea.

The colon cleansing in my Natural Health Center in Heidelberg supports the liver cleanse. It is ideal to carry out a colon cleansing on the 6th day of the preparation, to avoid unpleasant symptoms during the main phase. The Colon Hydro Therapy is the quickest and easiest way to prepare for the liver cleanse. Enemas are not as effective as the colon cleansing.

The main phase: The liver cleansing and excretion
4 tablespoons of Epsom salts dissolved in 720 ml of water, to drink in four portions (180 ml per glass). One of the main tasks of Epsom salts is to make the bile ducts wider, allowing the stones to glide through easily. Moreover, it cleans waste products that can hinder the excretion of stones.
Drink the first two portions between 6-8 P.M.
9:30 P.M. No bowel movement? Perform an enema
9.45 P.M. Press one grapefruit or alternatively 1 orange and 1 lemon; the juice is placed in a sealable vessel or glass. Add 120 ml of olive oil. Shake this until the solution is watery.
10 P.M. Stand next to your bed (do not sit down!) and drink the solution quickly, ideally at a time, and in no more than 5 minutes. Lie down with elevated upper body (use 1 or 2 pillows), or alternatively, pull to the right side and the knees towards your head. Stay in this position for at least 20 minutes absolutely calm and steer attention to your liver. Go to sleep.
6 A.M. The next day (Day 7), drink the third portion of the dissolved Epsom salts. Gymnastics or yoga is recommended. If you are tired, return to bed.
8 A.M. Last portion of the dissolved Epsom salts.
10 A.M. Drink freshly squeezed fruit juice. Half an hour later you can eat one or two pieces of fresh fruit. An hour later you can eat a light meal.

There is a painless elimination of stones, toxins and clumping. Most gallstones are pea green and swim in the toilet because they contain bile. Gallstones can have all sizes, colors and shapes.
On the 2nd or 3rd day after the liver cleanse a second colon cleansing in my Natural Health Center in Heidelberg should be performed to remove gallstones that have remained in the intestine.

Possible adverse effects of the Liver Cleanse by Andreas Moritz:

– Bloating and / or diarrhea during the first days in susceptible individuals
– Nausea or vomiting on the day of liver cleansing or the day after because of a strong and rapid elimination of gallstones and toxins from the liver and gallbladder
– Headache because of detoxification or if the instructions are not followed

Contraindications: Acute diseases, severe constipation (first perform several colon hydro therapies). Apple juice should not be taken if you suffer from diabetes, low blood sugar, yeast infections (Candida), cancer and ulcers. In these cases, apple juice can be replaced with malic acid in capsule form (1500-2000 mg malic acid instead of apple juice). Drink in 2 glasses of warm water in small portions throughout the day.
