Liver Cleanse Recipe
This is an excellent liver cleanse recipe that I have adapted from about four or five other liver cleanse recipes that I have tried over the years. I have supercharged it with a few extra ingredients, but have put the main, base ingredients in bold to highlight the essentials.
I would recommend doing this over the weekend, and in the morning. It is particularly effective if you have undertaken some light exercise such as walking or jogging prior to the liver cleanse as this helps to get the toxins moving out of the body and invigorates the lymph system.
After the juice I would also recommend some breathing exercises to help the lymph flow on its way!
The Recipe for the Ultimate Liver Cleanse!
Serves 2
- 2 large grapefruits
- 4 lemons
- 300ml of distilled water (or filtered)
- 2 tablespoons of Udo’s Choice (or cold pressed flax oil
- 1 teaspoon of acidophilus
- 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic
- 2 inches of fresh root ginger
- Optional: a dash of cayenne pepper!
Directions
- Squeeze the juice of the grapefruit and lemon into a blender
- Next, grate the garlic and the ginger, and then using a garlic press, squeeze this into the juice
- Now add the water, Udo’s and acidophilus powder and blend for 30 seconds
- Add more ginger/garlic to taste
This juice contains all of the most potent liver cleansing ingredients, and gives your liver a gentle flush and the opportunity to heal itself. There are no side effects to this drink, apart from a bit of garlic-breath for a while. However, the grapefruit removes most of the odour.
I have also been told that this is the most incredible hangover cure in the world - so it might be worth bearing in mind just for that! It contains everything you would need to cure a hangover (vitamin c, omega 3, probiotics, water, ginger) so I can see how it would work!

p.s. late addition: I just remembered hearing about a liver cleanse pesto recipe last week, but have no idea what was in it or what it was about! If anyone has such a pesto recipe to share it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I was wondering how long should you do the liver detox for, and what dietary recommendations during the detox are appropriate. Thank you
Hi Dina
The above juice is just a liver supportive drink you can use either as part of your normal life or during a full liver cleanse.
I’ve just completed a full liver cleanse (literally last night) and followed this:

Hope this helps!

Oh thank you, I was also curious about other liver cleanses that you may find at health food stores like whole foods. These seem like they are more convenient ie a capsule administration, do you have any insite for me as to the pros/cons vs the one day epson cleanse that you just recommended? Again, thank you, I am looking for both a safe and convenient option for myself.
these organs work so hard, giving them a detox makes sense..
Hi
My wife has polycystic liver disease for 12 years and has had them drained at hospital many times. However it has now become difficult to have them drained as they lie so deep and the liver so enlarged. Is there anything you can suggest that will help ease the problem.
Hi Kev,
I just read your e-mail and thought I would pass along this link.(www.myhealthblog.org/2009/04/02/pepito-with-liver-cancer-cirrhosis-survives-his-first-egg-yolk-liver-flush/) In your wife’s case, she should definately consult with someone (like the man helping his liver cancer/cirrhosis patient as described) in this link. Good luck, Anne
Hi….. I read above where you say it is a supportive drink so I am assuming it is not really necessary to fast the day of the cleanse..I was just wondering if it would be more beneficial though or does it really not matter?
Still reading through your site , some great tips and recipes that tie into our own site, I will pass on your link to my customers…I was glad to read sprouts are one of your favorite super foods…I am an avid sprouter also…its a wonderful, inexpensive and fun way to add nutrition to your diet…and kids love to be involved as they grow so fast…
Kudos, Michelle.
Hi,
My husband has Hepatitis C (dormant) and my brother has Hepatitis B (acute). I totally believe in natural remedies over drugs in helping with liver support. This liver cleanse sounds good. Could you advise how often a person who is suffering with acute symptoms of Hepatits B should be doing this cleanse? And is there something else you would recommend for the stress, lack of sleep, and other related issues of a liver being overworked with fighting off this virus?
Thank you.
P.S. My husband was diagnosed with Hepatits C years ago and didn’t even know he had it until we underwent infertility treatment. But he wants to provide support to his liver and believes in natural liver support.
Hello: I was diagnosed with Hep C after a blood transfusion 19 yrs ago and it has invaded my liver. I now have cirrhosis. I went thru chemo and my Hep C is undetected. I am very concerned about my liver; had a sonogram, but haven’t gotten the results. I would like to know if any of your cleansings could preclude my liver from getting any worse. Thanks so much for your time.
Based on 35 years of research of liver health issues, including hepatitis, I Do not believe in the theory (never been proved) that hepatitis C is caused by a viral infection. The established correlation between the two does not prove there exists a cause-effect relationship.
Many people have highly elevated ALS and AST levels (liver enzymes) and are being told they have hepatitis C although they never were in contact with someone else’s blood. By definition, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact. However, the alleged virus is nothing but an inert protein that moves in and out of
cells. To attach a vicious nature of an indiscriminate attack mode to these proteins is misleading and unscientific, to say the least. A virus cannot reproduce itself because it does not possess a reproductive system like bacteria have. To spread the “virus,” the body itself has to makes these proteins. However, the body is doing this only if there are chemicals, poisons, and other noxious substances that cannot be destroyed or removed by the body.
Bacteria are only after organic material, such as damaged cells. Think of an apple that has fallen from the tree, and is bruised. Bacteria will only turn up when they are required to decompose what’s no longer useful or beneficial. Fungi go after dead cells.
Likewise, viruses act as solvents to break down accumulated chemicals or poisons. If the liver is unable to remove these because of bile duct congestion, it has no other choice but to accumulate them. When a certain saturation point of chemicals has been reached, increased viral activity is about the only effective way of dealing with these chemicals. These chemicals may be derived from ingesting medical drugs, pesticides. food additives. etc.
The body’s healing response or defense mechanism includes inflammation, and thus, inflamed damaged cells spill their enzymes into the blood. This raises ALS and AST.
I found that hepatitis C sufferers have accumulated a much greater amount of intrahepatic gallstones (as Johns Hopkins university calls them) than average. Since I don’t believe in the benefit of treating the symptoms of disease, but their causes, I have come to the conclusion that hepatitis C requires the approaches outlined in The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush. It matters little, what name is being attributed to advanced Iiver congestion. Hepatitis C is not a disease; it is natural response by the body to deal with an unnatural situation. It is up to the patient to improve the underlying condition (of congestion), and the body will respond it appropriately. I consider the liver and gallbladder flush to be one of them most important prerequisites for the body to heal itself. If the gallbladder has been removed, it’s even more important to cleanse the liver.
Hi, your site is wonderful. We have just found out that my husband has cancer (primary site unknown) that has metastized to the liver. Is there anything you know of that would be beneficial for him and to get rid of the tumors on his liver? He has an aggressive tumor on his shoulder that has dissolved some of the bone in his left arm, but they only biopsied the liver yesterday. I know we have to cleanse and stop the mestastisis. I am giving him 1 oz shots of wheatgrass, which I am grinding, 2 x a day (1 ounce). And trying to alkalize his system thru diet, but he has little appetite. Please reply if you have heard of persons who have survived the liver metastisis and what they did to rid their bodies of cancer if you know. Thank you.
Hi Susan
Thanks for your kind words. I strongly recommend you pick up a copy of Dr Young’s The pH Miracle asap. Then learn, learn, read, read and do. His blog is FULL of great information too and I truly believe in his work. He has reversed all kinds of cancer so many times through nutrition alone that there is no doubt, for me, that his suggestions are well worth following.
Here are some articles that might be of interest:

excellent article !
Is this beneficial for diabetics?
Hi there, was wondering with the liver cleanse if the person doing it would begin, or during the cleanse, to expell stones? Thanks
My mouth really opened when I saw the recipe. After suffering from a liver disorder I promised my mother and my sister (they are my only family after my family died of a car accident) that I would never drink liquor again.
I am collecting recipes and all kinds of alternative medicines. It is really funny for some of my friends when they noticed that I am living clean now, and I do not hung out with them much, but I do not care if sometimes they do not want me in… Now I know who are my real friends.
A real gratitude for this information. I hope that many people would read your blog. God Bless us all…
These “stones” come from your stomach. The photos show coagulated (saponified) olive oil and Epsom salts, stained various colors by your own bile. By clearing your digestive system through spare and healthy eating for a few days, and then loading up with olive oil, fruit juice and Epsom salts right before a long sleep, you basically make little semi-hard, olive-oil-based soap pellets in your digestive system. Since they’re mostly made of olive oil, they float (gallstones would sink). And since they’re basically a complex organic compound, you can’t keep them unless you freeze them (gallstones are rock-like).
Sure, you’ve never seen such things before. But then again, you’ve never eaten a concoction of olive oil and Epsom salts before. Those colorful little semi-hard pellets were never in you–that is, until you downed the ingredients the night before. They were never acquainted with your liver.
What you get out this is a few days of healthy eating. No wonder you feel great. Nothing wrong with that.
