What are gallstones?

Gallstones are stones of various sizes that form in the liver (hepatic) ducts and gallbladder. They consist of calcium salts, cholesterol, and bile pigment. Their color varies from pale beige to all shades of green to dark brown. They can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball.

The liver is the most magical organ in the human body, performing over 500 known functions. It is responsible for our nutrition (the breakdown of nutrients and the creation of essential nutrients) as well as the detoxification of our bodies. Every three minutes, our entire blood "rumbles" through the liver to be purified. The waste collected by detoxifying our blood is packed into bile and sent further through the hepatic duct to the gallbladder. Precisely because of its functions, it is of crucial importance that this organ is always in great shape, because impaired liver health is the basis for all further health problems that can happen to us.

What makes the occurrence of gallstones a health concern?

When the liver ducts and the gallbladder become filled with stones, it first disrupts the natural work of the liver (those 500 amazing functions!!!) as well as the flow of bile to the gallbladder itself. Bile from the liver is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. When you eat a high-fat meal, a mix of hormones signals your gallbladder to start pumping, releasing stored, concentrated bile into the small intestine to initiate fat digestion. If you have gallstones, it means your gallbladder is not able to do its job; therefore, fat digestion is inadequate. This creates fertile ground for the development of a wide range of, more or less serious, health symptoms.

Is Liver and Gallbladder Detox Safe?

Liver and Gallbladder Detox is an eight-day procedure that includes a five-day preparation period, during which we follow a specific diet to support our body's detoxification. This period is followed by the ingestion of special tinctures (sixth day of the protocol), so that on the seventh day, physical cleansing and the expulsion of gallstones will occur through the stool. On the eighth day, we prepare to return to our normal diet.

Most people pass a certain number of gallstones during their first cleanse. As a result, you may notice gallstones of various colors and sizes in your stool. Generally, the stones passed in the first cleanse are smaller and less numerous than those in subsequent cleanses. It's important to note that only 20% of individuals do not pass stones during their first cleanse. This is completely normal, as the stones will typically be expelled during the next cleanse.

Liver detox is a safe procedure; however, it is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women, children under the age of 18, and people with seriously impaired health.

Can I detox if I have had my gallbladder removed?

Having your gallbladder removed is a good reason to do a liver detox. When the gallbladder is removed, the liver may become clogged with gallstones.
