The liver cleanse protocol, popularized by Andreas Moritz and recommended by Dr.Rigo, is designed to improve overall health by eliminating gallstones and detoxifying the liver and gallbladder. Here’s a detailed guide on how to perform this cleanse, including the preparation, the actual cleansing day, and important considerations.

Reading time: 3 minutes

Preparation (6 Days Before the Cleanse)

1. Apple Juice Consumption: Drink at least 1 liter of apple juice daily. The malic acid in the juice helps soften gallstones, making them easier to pass.

2. Light Diet: Consume light meals, focusing on plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid processed foods, animal fats, dairy products, and fried foods.

3. Avoid Certain Products: Do not take medications, supplements, or any other substances that are not necessary.

Day of the Cleanse (Day 6)

1. Light Breakfast and Lunch: Eat a fat-free breakfast and lunch. Suggested meals include white rice, oatmeal, or cooked vegetables.

2. Fasting After 2:00 PM: Do not eat or drink anything except water after 2:00 PM.

Ingredients needed for the protocol:

Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate): 4 tablespoons

Grapefruits or Pomelos: Enough to make 3/4 cup (180 ml) of juice

3. 9:45 PM: Mix the grapefruit/pomelo juice with the olive oil. This mixture should be consumed at 10:00 PM.
