How to Cleanse the Human Liver of Toxins

The liver is considered a gatekeeper in the body, and is the largest internal organ. A properly-functioning liver is necessary to staying alive. Over time, the human liver can become bogged down with toxins from the environment around us, the foods and beverages we ingest, and the medications we take. These toxins can cause our livers to work less efficiently and cause us to feel sluggish, have excessive allergies and can even cause high cholesterol. Cleansing your liver of toxins can have a positive effect on your entire body.

  Devote two days to the liver-cleanse process. This will consist of the afternoon and evening on the first day and the morning and possibly early afternoon of the following day.
  On day one, eat little or no dietary fat. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains can be eaten until 2 p.m. on the first day. After 2 p.m., fast for the cleanse.

  At 6 p.m. on the first day, mix 3/4 cup of water with one tablespoon of Epsom salt and drink it.

  Repeat this step again at 8 p.m.

  Juice the grapefruit at 10 p.m. and mix the juice (which should yield approximately 3/4 cup) with the 1/2 cup of olive oil, for a total volume of approximately 1 1/4 cups. Drink promptly at 10 p.m.

  Follow the drink mixture with all four L-ornithine capsules and rest for about 20 minutes while lying flat on your back before bed.

  Awaken at 6 a.m. and drink one tablespoon of Epsom salt dissolved in 3/4 cup of water.

  Continue to eat small meals that are low in fat and contain little or no meat for the duration of the day.

  Begin taking the milk thistle capsules at a dose of 200 mg per day. Increase to 400 mg or 600 mg daily within one week of completing the cleanse. Continue daily until the bottle is finished.
