Liver Cleanse for Hepatitis C (HCV)

http://www.healthyhepper.com/livercleanse.htm

 

Various naturopathic doctors suggest that a liver cleanse (also known as a liver

flush or liver detox) is extremely important to the health of everyone, but

especially useful to those with liver disease such as HCV. They contend that a

liver cleanse will help clean the liver bile ducts that may be choked with

gallstones and detoxify the liver.

 

Results from the Liver Cleanse:

 

Dr. Hulda Clark, PhD, ND, in her groundbreaking bestseller, The Cure of All

Diseases, says that, " Cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves

digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your

allergies to disappear, too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also

eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. You have more energy and an

increased sense of well being. "

 

Johnny Delirious, author of Hepatisis C, Cured suggests that the liver cleanse

is what ultimately cured his HCV. He contends that you feel a significant

increase in energy and overall well-being after the cleanse and suggests that

those with Hep C get on a schedule and do Hulda Clark's liver cleanse every two

weeks to rid themselves of the hepatitis C virus and reduce liver fibrosis.

 

According to Puristat.com, " A liver cleansing can help with a fatty liver,

cirrhosis of the liver, or elevated liver enzymes, and save you thousands of

dollars and months of pain by facilitating the avoidance of needless surgery for

gallstones. Liver cleansing diets and liver support supplements can help you

avoid possible subsequent complications from liver disease, and the development

of other afflictions related to an unhealthy liver. "

 

Precautions for the Liver Cleanse:

 

Consult with a physician prior to your cleanse, and follow your doctor's

instructions concerning your medications. Remember, when you are detoxifying

your liver, you will not receive full benefit from any medication because they

may be flushed out with the cleanse, reducing their effectiveness.

 

A colon cleanse could be a good idea to do before a liver cleanse to ensure that

blood that comes to your liver during the cleanse is as toxin-free as possible

thereby reducing the strain on your liver.

 

Types of Liver Cleanse:

 

There are several liver cleanses that a person could choose from, ranging from

very short to more drawn out and complex. I will mention just a few but you can

find many more!

 

Easy Liver Cleanse:

 

Recommended by Christopher Hobbs, L,Ac.:

1. Take one cup of fresh squeezed orange juice. Add some lemon to the point the

mix tastes sour. You can water down the final mix to make it more palatable.

2. Add the juice of 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic (using a garlic press). Grate in

some raw fresh ginger root as well.

3. Mix in 1 tablespoon of high quality olive oil, blend this in (or shake it

well in a glass container) and then drink it up. (Yummy!)

4. Follow up with two cups of cleansing herbal tea. There are many available at

health food stores today.

5. Drink this in the morning after a bit of stretching and deep breathing, then

do not eat or drink anything else for one hour. The recommendation is to do this

for 10 days during every change of season.

 

Moderate Liver Cleanse:

 

Dr. Hulda Clark, PhD, ND, in her groundbreaking bestseller, The Cure of All

Diseases, gives details on her liver cleanse, and why she thinks it is necessary

for good health.

 

The Hulda Clark liver cleanse is about a 24 hour cleanse so moderate in time

demand and also in ingredients being easy to obtain. The liver cleanse

ingredients: o Epsom salts: 4 tablespoons o Olive oil: half cup o 2/3 cup Fresh

pink grapefruit juice o Ornithine: 4 to 8, to be sure you can sleep. o Large

plastic straw: to help drink potion. o Pint jar with lid o Black Walnut Tincture

 

Hulda Clark says of the liver cleanse, " " 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. " You can access all the details of her

cleanse on her website.

 

More Involved Liver Cleanse:

 

The liver cleanse suggested by Dr. Waltz, ND, DD, CNC, CTN, of The Herbal

Encyclopedia.com is much more involved in both herbal ingredients required and

in time to do the cleanse- two weeks! However, it is not rigorous the entire

time. Dr. Waltz suggest following the initial cleanse up with a shortened

version once a month. Visit his website where he passes on what he says is, " the

most effective therapy I have found, as it is used for treating hepatitis and

other liver problems, as well as for cleansing and supporting. "

 

Questions on safety and the science behind the liver cleanse:

 

The Cure Zone.com has lots of grizzly pictures of stones and livers and

gallbladders as well as tons of links to any questions you may have about the

cleanse including fear, science, and safety questions.

 

Hulda Clark herself say of cleansing the liver, " 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. " (From " The Cure

for All Advanced Cancers " )

 

Conclusion on Liver Cleanses:

 

It seems that there is not much scientific research on liver cleanses and their

effectiveness.

 

The opponents of the cleanse suggest that most of the stones that come out

during a liver cleanse are not actually gallbadder stones, rather a product from

the reaction of the oil and lemon. However, even Quackwatch.com admits that,

" the large oily meal would stimulate strong gallbladder contraction. This could

help expel small gallstones or even, very rarely, a whole crop of small

gallstones or sludge…I cannot recall yet seeing any reports of harm from a

gallbladder/liver flush. "

 

Is the liver cleanse/flush really helpful to those with Hepatitis C (HCV)? It

seems to me that considering all the positive testimonials, one might as well

try it for themselves and see!
