Liver & Gallbladder cleanse/ flush/ detox
Every morning on an empty stomach for a week blend:
8oz of water (I recommend sping water;
find a spring),
8oz of juice (apple & or grape or lemon & or lime),
a piece of ginger about the size of the top half of your thumb (skin and all),
a clove of garlic,
and a tbsp olive oil.
Milk Thistle can also be added to this though not mandatory or in the original recipe.
It helps detox the liver, protects liver cells from toxins, and helps repair liver damage.
Apple & grape can be used during fall/winter and lemon & lime juice can be used during spring/summer.
This is when these are seasonal, and nature supports us intelligently during the different seasons.
Though it's okay to mix and match.
One benefit of lemon and limes is that you can use fresh squeezed juice using something like:

As you progress with the flush you can increase the strength to 2 tbsp of olive oil and 2 cloves of garlic.
This blend actually tastes pretty good. It is great for your body and immune system (anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, phytonutrients).
The ginger adds a nice zingy taste and is a great morning stimulant with no crash.
Follow this drink with 2 warm glasses of a quality detox tea 10-15 minutes afterward.
Then you can eat.
