 drink beet-carrot juice (8oz daily) and apple cider vinegar and water – 2 tbsps per 8oz throughout the day.
I would also recommend Traditional Medicinals – Smooth Move Tea to help with bowel movements and Nighty Night tea to help you get good sleep which is key for healing and detoxifying.
I also recommend doing Bile Flow Support and Activated Charcoal to help during this process. Do 2 caps with each meal or green juices of the Bile Flow Support and 2 caps – 2x daily (away from meals or green juices) of the Activated Charcoal. I usually recommend the charcoal about 1 hour before meals.
You can do these supplements on the days leading up to the Liver cleanse and while doing the 3-day green juice cleanse.
GallBladder Flush Ingredients:
4 Tbsps of Epsom Salts
1/2 Cup of Extra Virgin Olive oil
1 large or 2 small pink grapefruits (enough to squeeze 3/4 cup of juice) or you can do fresh squeezed lemons or an organic lemon juice concentrate to make it easier.
Bile Flow Support: This is optional but can help you get a better bile release, take 4 caps after the olive oil mixture. I also recommend taking it for several weeks after you do this cleanse to support your bile flow. Simply do 1-2 caps after each meal.
Pint Jar with lid
Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day.
Take no medicines or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success.
2:00 p.m. on the Day of The Cleanse:
Do not eat or drink after 2 o’clock. If you break this rule you could feel quite ill later.
Get your Epsom salts ready. Mix 4 tbs. In 3 cups or 24 oz of water and pour this into a jar. This makes four servings, ¾ cup (6 oz) each. Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only).
6:00 p.m.
Drink one serving (3/4 cup or 6 oz) of the ice cold Epsom salts. If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tbs. in ¾ cup water now. You can add 1 tsp of fresh or concentrated lemon juice to improve the flavor. You may also drink a few mouthfuls of water afterwards or rinse your mouth.
Get the olive oil and grapefruit out to warm up.
8:00 p.m.
Repeat by drinking another ¾ into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have at least ½ cup, more (up to ¾ cup) is best. You may top it up with lemonade (lemon/water/stevia). Add this to the olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this).
Visit the bathroom one or more times, even if it makes you late for your ten o’clock drink. Don’t be more than 15 minutes late.
10:00 p.m.
Drink the potion you have made and take 4 bile flow support right after finishing the drink if you are using these. The bile flow support are not necessary but can help you get even more stones out. back with your head up high on a pillow.
Try to think about what is happening in the liver. Try to keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes. You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no pain because the bile ducts the Epsom salts before 6:00 a.m.

According to renowned physician, Huda Clark, who has implemented this with over 500 cases, including many persons in their seventies and eighties. None went to the hospital; none even reported pain. However, it can make you feel quite ill for one or two days.
Very good article! Thank you.
Hi Dr. I want to the Doctor and he told me my gallbladder inflammation. I want to no if can do the flush out please
Great article Dr.Jokers,
I have been diagnosed with gallbladder stones upto 14 mm. The stomach pain is moderate. Will the gall bladder flush is safe for me in view of the size of stones greater than 10 mm.
I started 12 hour fasting and changed my diet completely as per your valuable inputs.
After how many days of this diet, I can try this gall bladder flush
Thank you
KRIS
Thank you Kris!
This cleanse will help you. Try the protocol starting with the green juice as I outlined it in the article and work closely with a natural health practitioner!
HI!! DO you offer phone consults?
Hey Angie, yes I have a team of health coaches who do long distance consultations!
Hi,
I have been suffering with gallbladder problems for 4 years. Im 28 year of age and a female, and i took birth control which completely messed up my gallbladder. I haven’t taken birth control for 3 years now and i still have gallbladder problems.
Will a gallbaldder/liver detox heal the underlying issue of high estrogen in my body?
thanks!
Hey Brittany, yes supporting your liver and gallbladder will be very important to detoxify excess estrogens. You will also want to make sure you are avoiding estrogen mimicking chemicals in your environment by drinking reverse osmosis water, using glass instead of plastic products, consuming organic produce and pasture-raised meats, and following a diet that balances blood sugar.
Dr. Jockers,
Is it possible to flush gallbladder with Virgin Coconut Oil instead of olive oil? Is there any side effects if we use VCO?
Thanks,
Sofia
Yes Sofia you could do liquified coconut oil!
I have been searching online for the past two days looking for the answer to this
question! … Thank you Sophia for asking the question and thank you Dr. Jockers for
your answer!
I wanted to know this, as a I absolutely HATE olive oil. I tried to do a liver gallbladder
flush yesterday and threw up enough of the olive oil that the flush “didn’t take”. Very
disappointing to go through all that and get no result!
After reading the above about preparing with green drinks first, I believe I will start
over and go from there!
Thank you so much for this excellent page!
Hello Dr. Jockers!
Thank you for all this information, it’s very helpful. Thank you also for sharing your sources!
I’m completing my first try at a 7 day water fast. I’m on day 5 right now. I’m wondering if you think doing a liver/gallbladder cleanse will be OK to do, after having fasted. I’m thinking of breaking my fast for one week, and then once acclimated to regular food again, start the liver cleanse.
I did a liver/gallbladder cleanse two years ago and it went well. The process was similar to what you have laid out here. I’m not sure that I need another so soon, but during my fast, I’m feeling a very specific discomfort, not necessarily pain, in my right upper abdominal area, and I suspect it is the liver/gallbladder. Hence my inclination to complete another liver/gallbladder cleanse after my fast. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. 🙂
Thank you!!
Yes that can be a good idea Crystal! Make sure you are drinking plenty of water!
I recently learned that I have four stones and the doctor wants me to take my gallbladder out!! what should I do…im scared to drink Epsom salt because of a reaction I might have I also have high blood pressure.. will the cleanse work without Epsom salt
Hey Lexxi, the epsom salt helps to facilitate the release of the stones from the gallbladder so it is an important part of the protocol. The magnesium will likely lower your blood pressure.
It work!
Just did the gallbladder cleanse and it work! Plenty of gallstones were flushed and I feel great. Thanks Dr Jockers!
Great to hear Vincent!
Dr. Jockers-You have so much great info on the gallbladder and I really appreciate it all. There are so many articles and links and I have learned so much and appreciate your time spent on the subject. I have been doing gallbladder flushes for several years and they are very effective, but I have learned so much in the last several weeks that I plan to initiate as well. I have been a patient of Dr. Dan Yachter for 10 years and asked him if he knew you 🙂 He as well recommends the intermittent fasting as well as Dr. Axe. However, someone else that I greatly respect on the subject says that it is important to eat 3 meals a day, no snacks, and drink water etc not around your meal times for proper digestion. He says that skipping meals can also cause gallstones because it causes excess bile left in the liver and gallbladder with nothing to digest and that can also form stones. I’m wondering your thought on this? This is the only area that he differs from and so if this is to be a lifestyle change, I want to get it right 🙂
Hey Sharon, this should not be an issue!
I take it that you
