In America, we dump 4 billion pounds of toxic environmental pollutants into the environment each year. Recently, one study found that 65% of the rainfall contains glyphosate or “Roundup.” Even worse, is the notion that omega-6 fats or vegetable oils are somehow good for our health. These directly congest the liver, as do the pesticides, pollutants and chemicals we are constantly being exposed to.
Liver cleansing can be very effective, but there are also risks. First, we must identify and fix the cause, and then reset and strengthen the digestive and detoxification functions that we so desperately need to navigate the increasingly toxic world we live in.
Join me in this podcast as I teach how and when to do a safe liver cleanse!

subject and didn’t know who to ask.

February 3, 2019 at 12:49 amThis blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen

June 28, 2018 at 6:49 pmHello Dr. Douillard,
I just found your site today and I am so impressed. Thank you for all of your knowledge! June 2017 had my first gallbladder attack (Didn’t know what it was. I thought it was a heart attack that lasted 12 hrs). After having 3 more I went to Dr. Had an ultrasound and was told I have 1 large gallstone and a gallbladder full of sludge. I began doing the gallbladder flushes I got from a chiropractor. They were just the 7 day flushes. (I did approximately 1 per month) I had a total of 13 gallbladder attacks from June – October of 2017. I have now completed 14 gallbladder flushes (In 12 months). No more attacks and I can eat again. Until last month when I started with heartburn, burps, nausea and pain in my esophagus that kept me up from 2:30 – 5:00 a.m. (About 4 times for a 2 week period in the end of May). Went back to Dr. today (June 28, 2018) had a 2nd ultrasound and he told me today that my gallbladder is exactly the same as 1 yr. ago. Stone still in same place and full of sludge. I have no idea why the flushes didn’t work. I will begin your protocol tomorrow. I have downloaded your ebook (thank you for that) and will follow it. I believe I have a low bial problem especially after watching your video. This will hopefully fix the problems that have recently started in May, but do you think when I get to the flushing part it will work? Is there a chance that the flushes don’t work even after following your protocol? Also, one more question please. I am not able to tolerate 2 doses of epsom salts the night before and 2 the morning after. I had to decrease it to only one at 5:00 p.m. the night before and one at 7:00 a.m. after. The diarrhea was insane. It would not stop. I have a hemorrhoid that after 7 -9 bouts of diarrhea it is extremely painful and will bleed. Please give me any advice you can it is greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

May 24, 2018 at 12:52 pmHello John:
I am a diabetic and would like to do the cleanse, However I was reading the e-book and came upon the many one month treatment. Am I to do all the monthly treatments or just one of them before the flush.
Henrik Jensen says
March 31, 2018 at 4:42 pmJohn,
Great information and a great website.
I have done the protocol myself many times and I have a few questions for you. I will email them to you.
Thanks

September 21, 2017 at 1:48 amHi, Dr Douillard,
Is this liver/GB cleanse safe enough for someone who has had hepatitis and whose hormones are normal now?
Thank you!

July 21, 2017 at 1:34 pmHi there thanks for reaching out. Yes, using flax seed oil or a high grade olive oil where you know the expiration date can be effectively cleansing. Some people opt to make there own 3 oil blend of coconut, flax, and olive to get a wider range of fatty acids. If using flax we do not recommend using the High Lignan kind. Be well.

July 17, 2017 at 4:29 pmI just did my first liver cleanse and just in the prep stage, using gold coin grass powder, for 3 days all all other clean green eating ect. in my food or as a tea, I pasted 3 white hard stones.They came from my liver, for I don’t have my gallbladder anymore, wish I did.It was removed because it was not contracting properly, but it had no stone.Seven years later, BAM I have major idiopathic gastroparesis, and the Mayo said we really can’t help you.Liquids stay in my stomach just as long as solids.Therefor GP for me, it not just a churning thing, I don’t think its a churning thing at all.I am a 49 year old estrogen domanent women, that got this hypothyriod, high cholesterol, constipation, tan or pale stools, acid reflux and gastitis over night! I have 4 years of being bed ridden from pain and suffering, now know about the importance of bile. Yet all my test come back pretty normal.After my first liver flush I had about 200 putty like green balls pass, some as small as rice and some bigger then kidney beans.Because of my GP, I could only hold the juice mixure for 2 1/2 hours and threw all of it up, and it still worked! It was just enough presser to move some of the old thick bile out, so IT IS NOT OIL COMING OUT! Dr.Please tell me could my GPgo away when my liver is totally clean?And my bile is flowing normal again?They tested my vagus near at MAYO and said it was fine, yet they always say GP is vagus nerve damage and you stomach is parilizeds. So wrong to tell everyone this, when they really don’t know.

May 15, 2017 at 2:24 pmHello dr John Douillard
I am following your health protocols and I am using all the beautiful herbs for easy digestion. My health improved and I don’t suffer any more from my reflexes problems and no more mucus;) Most definitely I learned that I am not allowed to continue my unhealthy life style. I love my new challenges because I look younger and I feel much stronger. Thanks so much for your charismatic approach to the science and the way you teach and explain to us all the issues.
Warm regards, Bozena

I would like to cleanse my liver but with minimal weight loss. Because iam already underweight. And slowly putting back healthy weight. I suffered from severe acne. Now it has reduced to one every month. Anything regarding liver cleansing while supporting healthy weight would be greatly appreciated. TIA

April 3, 2017 at 6:46 pmThank you John for another wonderful podcast! You have a great way of explaining everything (plus with the science to back it up)!
I’m from Melbourne, Australia and about to complete my studies as an Ayurvedic practitioner. The more I study, the more I feel I need to learn! Your podcasts and website have been a great resource and will continue to be in the future. Thank you for all your great work.
Warm regards,

April 3, 2017 at 10:30 amHi Dr. Douillard, I’ve enjoyed your blogs for years. The content is always fascinating and I feel my health has improved, though I’m generally quite healthy overall. A few weeks ago I completed my second 4-day cleanse following your protocol. All went well. I usually eat organic, whole, seasonal foods that I cook with quality olive and coconut oils. I feel I’m ready for a liver cleanse and I’ve purchased your Liver Repair capsules. I’m wondering if there’s anything you’d suggest other than taking the capsules.
Thank you for offering this podcast. (I hope to attend, though there’s a chance I may have a timing conflict.)
Stenor says
March 17, 2017 at 2:36 pmI’ve read about the liver flush that Damir is talking about. It’s the liver flush technique by Andreas Moritz, or maybe he didn’t develop it but he was a strong propounder of it.
Also I read what you mentioned about the “stones” being simply condensed olive oil and such. Though the thing is, I’ve seen people write that they discharge calcified stones (and met someone who claimed the same), and if that’s true then obviously there’s actually something coming out there.
I would be interested to hear if Dr. Douillard has anything to say about it.
Damir says
February 10, 2017 at 9:56 amDear Dr. Douilard
Often and gladly read your website on Ayurveda, very much appreciate your competence and expertise. A few years ago I worked for a liver cleanse several times. I applied the bitter salt, olive oil and grapefruit juice, all went well.
Lately in scientific circles it is said that a porous green stones that are thrown feces on the toilet did not cholesterol and toxins than chemical compounds oleic acid of olive oil, bile, enzymes, phytonutrients citrus, etc.
Please kindly you tell me something about it.
Thank you very much!
best wishes!
P.S
I am thrilled with your knowledge of Ayurveda to be connected with modern research in medicine and biochemistry. You are one of the few doctors who brilliantly interprets ayurveda scientifically.
I’m a kinesiologist and a lover of pranayama, ayurveda and yoga. In talks with his fellow professors and doctors often quote you promote and emphasize.

April 11, 2017 at 2:59 pmHi Dr. Douilard,
Thank you for all the wonderful FREE information!!!
Many years ago I had a obstructed common bile duct, unfortunately at that time my only choice was to have my gallbladder removed as it was delivered to me by the doctors following my ER visit that turned into a surgery and long hospital stay.
I have asked doctors throughout the years if there is anything I could do, or should do since this organ is gone. Every reply was no, nothing at all.
Now, many years later I have many digestive disorders including GURD, hiatial hernia, diverticulosis to name a few.
I would like to know if I should exclude the processes that you have given to help the gallbladder? If so exactly what should I exclude?
Finally, I would love to know, in your opinion, if there is anything I should do because I do not have a gallbladder in my normal daily living?
Thank you again for all you do for all of us!
