I was a skeptic, even after doing a cleanse 6 months ago. My first cleanse produced little of nothing. I did feel better for a few days before feeling worse again. I firmly believe I was one of those whose bile ducts were so congested, the first cleanse did the "digging". Over the last few months, I developed a huge amount of pressure in my gallbladder and knew I was going to wind up having gallbladder surgery if something didn't give. So ... I decided to try the cleanse one more time.WOW! I passed close to 200 stones this go around (it was completely painless, although the cleansing process does make you have diarrhea fair warning. It is only for a few hours, and the results are more than worth it). The stones ranged from bright green to tan, most floated, and were slightly larger than a sesame seed, on up to the size of my thumbnail. I had *zero* pain in passing these. I did experience some nausea during the night, but a couple of ginger capsules took care of it.
Since performing this 2nd cleanse over the weekend, my reflux has COMPLETELY resolved, I can sleep on my right side without having acid back up into my throat, and I am sleeping soundly through the night with nothing more than Valerian (for the first time ever). The pressure in my gallbladder/liver is so much improved, I feel like a new person. My energy level has gone up tremendously. I will be doing more cleanses in the coming months to completely rid my liver of any remaining gallstones.
As to those who contend the stones are actually "soap", I can offer a unique perspective on this. I am a soapmaker by trade, and olive oil does NOT produce a bright green soap. Soap made from olive oil becomes a lovely creamy white shade. The stones that are passed during this cleanse are just that gallstones. The malic acid in the apple juice helps to soften the stones allowing them to pass more readily. If what others are saying was true, then I should have passed "soap stones" during my first cleanse, and I didn't. The stones are NOT soap that theory is complete bunk.
Having said all of this, I don't agree with everything the author recommends, but this is my personal opinion. For myself, I take Stone Free tablets daily to help further soften stones. I did the apple juice only on the day of the cleanse. If I wasn't taking the Stone Free, I would drink the apple juice for at least a week prior to cleansing.
I also had to reduce the epsom salts to 1 teaspoon per cup of water the 1 tablespoon that is recommended is just way too harsh for my system. I did the epsom salts at the beginning of the cleanse, but I used Oxy-Powder capsules the next day. I just couldn't stand to drink another round of epsom salts at that point. The Oxy-Powder does a super job of cleansing the colon, and has not caused any cramping for me. Just be prepared to stay close to a bathroom if you use very much of it. It's important to get all of the gallstones out of the colon, and I'm confident the Oxy-Powder worked very well for me in that regard.
I kept a bottle of organic raw honey close by when drinking the epsom salts and also the oil/lemon juice mixture I had to use something to get the taste out of my mouth. The biggest thing to remember is once you start drinking the concoctions, don't stop. I used a LARGE straw and just drank as fast as I could. I also put a bit of orange juice in with the olive oil and lemon juice just to help the taste. Next time I might try grape juice instead.
Yes, the cleanse will cause diarrhea. You might even be nauseous or vomit (I have never vomited doing this, but I rarely do anyway). The whole purpose of a cleanse is to remove toxic junk from your system. I think most of the negative reviews on this are because people don't understand the nature of a cleanse in general. For myself, I would prefer to keep the gallbladder I was born with. Our ancestors have used cleanses for thousands of years, but a lot of this knowledge has been lost in our modern "take a pill or take it out" society. The cleanse sounds unconventional by modern standards, but for me it worked. If there were no other alternative, I would have my gallbladder taken out I was almost to that point. But I am walking proof that the cleanse has improved my health for the better.
UPDATE December 2011
I had an ultrasound in March of this year on the recommendation of my family doctor, just to ensure I didn't have gallstones (I had a stomach ulcer caused by stress and H. pylori). The ultrasound showed NO GALLSTONES, which didn't surprise me at all after having done the cleanse several times. Just wanted to add this to my original review supporting that the cleanse does indeed work.
For the six days leading up to the flush I ate a completely vegan diet and drank the apple juice, which, gave me a bit of a headache since I'm not used to that much sugar. I felt a little bit sluggish all week because I usually eat lean animal protein with every meal about 5x per day, so eating vegan was quite a change for me but nothing I couldn't handle.
On the sixth day (Friday) I drank my apple juice in the morning as suggested and fasted for the rest of the day. At 4pm I went in for colon hydrotherapy and at 6pm I drank my first serving of epsom salts, which, by the way, does not taste very good at all but, again, it is worth it. At 7pm I started to feel like the flu truck had run me over and had a fever of sorts. By 8pm it was time to drink the second serving of epsom salts, it was a struggle but I got it down thanks to the straw. Within 5 minutes of drinking the second serving of epsom salts I was in the bathroom having a very watery bowel movement that almost instantly made my flu-like symptoms go away and after that I felt much better. At 10pm I drank the olive oil/grapefruit juice concoction and laid down immediately. Drinking the olive oil was actually not bad at all, I do suggest the straw for this as well as the epsom salts, it's a must. Within a few minutes of drinking the olive oil I felt something that I can only describe as "heat" surrounding my liver and then the gurgling started. I didn't feel incredibly ill but I did feel a bit of discomfort. At about 12am I had my first BM which produced about 15 bright green stones of various sizes. I was shocked, really. I continued to pass stones throughout the night and had a bout of "restless leg syndrom" not sure what that was about. I got up at 6am (Saturday) and drank my third serving of epsom salts. Passed many more stones. At 8am I drank the last serving of epsom salts. Passed many more stones. At 10am I drank 12oz of fresh squeezed orange juice (yum). Passed more stones...This went on for all of Saturday and Sunday morning. I will say this, my bum hurt like nothing I've ever experienced in my life and the thought of going in for the post-flush colon hydrotherapy made me want to cry, nonetheless, I did it. I had much discomfort during this colon hydrotherapy session but it was over in 45 minutes and after that I felt like a new human.
The three top things I noticed immediately:
1. My sleep was deep and restful, something I have never experienced.
2. My eyesight became crisp and clear.
3. My stomach felt calm and peaceful for the first time in my life.
All in all I would say I passed 200+ stones all shades of green to tan and the size of a piece of rice to the size of a hazelnut. I did not experience any pain passing any of the stones. My personal experience has been a good one, and, having done my first flush I am looking forward to the next one in 4 weeks. I would suggest this protocol to anyone wanting to optimize their health.This is one of the most awakening books I have ever read. Andreas explains bodily functions is plain simple English. He explains medicines short comings such as their inability to detect gall stones and how they tell you there is a problem only after a blood test indicates liver damage due to the number of stones getting far out of control. He gives great insight for understanding your body lowering your dependency on your doctor who only has the "cut it out" solution.
I did the flush and passed at least 100 pea size gull stones. A day later, I felt 10 years younger and my mental clarity was significantly improved.
Buy this book before it is banned by the medical mafia. If you have had your gall bladder removed, it is an absolute must. He explains how to compensate for the loss and how your gall bladder is important.I cannot explain fully how empowered I feel with regard to my health management after reading this book and The Timeless Way to Health and Rejuvenation.
Having seen several members of my family suffer at the hands of inadequate information offered by allopathic/orthodox doctors in the UK (maybe my father would still be here had he known about Andreas Mortiz) I chose to look for alternative ways to bring my system back into balance. At my first doctor's appointment I was offered stomach ulcer medication for my presenting symptoms which I refused, suggesting to the doctor that an ultrasound might be in order based on the family history I had given. It was then classed as a clear-cut case of gallstones by a consultant who wanted to book my theatre slot there and then. An ultrasound scan (which I insisted on before taking any surgical action)revealed no presence of gallstones but a spleen tumour instead!
I went looking for a way to handle my health issues as naturally as possible. With a seven year old that I teach at home I cannot afford to be in hospital. I found a colon therapist and discovered my colon was seriously congested. I cannot impress on you how important it is to get it clean first. (How come the doctor didn't start with a colon cleanse? A simple palpation would have revealed its state.)
So far I have completed two flushes, producing about 3 tablespoons of both gallstones (wonder where those were hiding??) and liver stones.
My sister has a gall bladder full of stones and is following the same method. She is the proud owner of a jar containing a selection of stones produced from her first flush. She is very excited about the next flush and looks fabulous. Her skin is improving, weight is dropping of nicely (as is mine)and her energy soaring.
Mortiz has a lot of support to offer on all levels; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Take out of his books that which you feel drawn to but, as emphasized by Moritz, you must follow the Liver flush procedure to the letter including making certain your colon is clear don't just assume it is.
I don't deny the accident and emergency services in the UK do a great job as do all the caring nurses and doctors. Their hearts are in the right place but the information being made available during their training is desperately lacking in areas. I want to see the medical establishment providing facilities to ensure a clean colon, liver and kidneys of every patient. They could be amazed at how little illness there might be left to treat. But then that won't benefit the drugs companies who I believe feed the doctors much of the information they use in the first place. Mmmm.... is it my cynical mind or do I smell something unAbsolutely fantastic information. I did the cleanse 4 times and it saved my life! Reset all my OTHER medical issues that supposedly had nothing to do with the liver. All my liver tests were normal and Western medicine had no clue what was wrong. Did this an passed HUNDREDS of stones each time. Thanks Andreas for this life-saving info.
