GALLBLADDER FLUSHES

There is a commonly misunderstood naturopathic practice that purports to dump many hundreds or even thousands of gallstones from the gallbladder. It prescribes a tonic of lemon juice and olive oil taken in the morning, followed by a period of time spent reclining on one’s side and massaging the belly. The finale is the eventual passing of many white or green stonelike pebbles in our stool. And, wow, look at all those gallstones! The problem is they are not “stones” at all, but simply coagulated bits of oil and cholesterol and other flotsam or digestive tract material.

There are gallbladder and liver flushes available that may have some helpful organ-cleansing aspects; however, they do not clear stones. That said, olive oil supports a healthy liver, lemon is a natural cleanser, and both stimulate the release of bile from the gallbladder. While this natural “flush” doesn’t actually clear gallstones either, it usually helps people feel better.
