Chrisys liver cleansing "diet"
 

First of all, remember I am not a doctor, and am not advising anyone to do this. Just sayin it has helped me. Do check with your doc especially if you are on chemo or taking any supplements.

This does fit my theory of "might help, won't hurt" and some of the components are REALLY TASTY. I mean really, what's the point if it's not...

7 day Liver cleansing juice fast

Main factors, must take daily: when I am absolutely religious on the beet juice and carrot salad, I do well. For me, these 2 are the most important.
But the Green broth is also really good, and I hear it’s good for RBC and hemoglobin

Beet juice (you have to juice it yourself) 3 oz/day, you can gradually increase this but I pretty much stay with the 3 oz.

Carrot salad Grind up carrots to a PULP. For each cup, add a dressing of 1T each lemon juice and good olive oil. You can use more, but not less. You can also add raisins, pineapple, or whatever to make it more interesting. I eat this with slivered almonds and it is really really good. You have to eat 1 cup daily. I have sometimes just thrown this into the vitamix and consume it as a smoothie. It’s yummy

Green juice Again, this is from a juicing book and frankly who has that kind of time! You’re supposed to have 1 cup daily, made from celery, greens, cucumber, whatever. You can also get green powder and make green juice from that.

Green broth 1-2 C/day This is also pretty tasty! Made from 1-2 cups each celery, zucchini, and green beans cook these until just barely softened in just enough water to cover. Then puree in a blender – it should be fairly thick. Add 1-2T fresh parsley and 1T butter and season to taste – with whatever you want! I sometimes toss a garlic clove in when cooking the veggies, and sometimes a bunch of artichokes which are also healthy for the liver.

Drink at least 8 glasses of water of course…

Supplement with some milk thistle I have also supplemented with B6 and N-acetyl cysteine, but check with your doctor on these.

All of this is in addition to your NORMAL diet of varied juices ha ha – remember this is from a juicing book.

This is a 7 day fast but I am on it pretty much perpetually (at least the beet juice/carrot salad part) with no ill effects. My LFT’s rat me out when I don’t do it. One word of warning, after a day or so your digestive tract might start producing…evidence…that you are eating a lot of bright red and orange things. So don’t freak out!

Thank you! I've dropped my beet juice in favour of mor greens lately - thinking I might need to add the beet back in on the carbo - and I like the sound of that salad and soup. Yum.

Sounds good to me. Do those greens include dandelion greens or kale? Dandelion is supposed to be good for the liver and kale is a good all around super nutritious green food.
