rior to doing any kind of liver flush (and this is true
of any serious liver flush), the colon should be in good working
order -- no obstructions of any kind and strong peristalsis.
If you are not having three bowel movements each day and/or
your hardened stool is of relatively small diameter, your
bowels are in dysfunction. A medical doctor might not tell
you that -- but a good herbalist will.
Laxatives do not
relieve these problems -- and, in fact, they can make things
worse. The intestines have to be well-toned and working
properly. Laxatives are a short-term, quick fix, but
long-term they have the oppositive effect.
The reason this is the
first step should be obvious: all the other materials that
are expelled throughout this Program: parasites (nematodes,
trematodes, a wide variety of pathogenic microorganisms, etc.),
undigested food; liver, gallbladder, and kidney stones; etc. --
all require that the portal that serves to exit these remains
from the body be in superior condition.
The product you'll
use to prepare for the liver flush is
Omega LB.
It not only cleans out the colon, but causes
the muscles in the colon responsible for peristalsis
to contract and strengthen.
The normal
dosage for Omega LB is
two capsules, twice daily. However, if your diet is heavily
Westernized and consists of a high quantity of animal proteins and fats,
and/or other foods devoid of fiber,
you may need up to as many as twelve capsules
daily for five full days (60 capsules total). Since
there are 120 capsules in a bottle - you'll have
enough to do two complete "cycles" -- or what constitutes
one complete Liver/Colon Cleansing Program - (we discuss
this more in the Liver Flush section.
Since Omega LB is an herbal "food" and not a drug,
you can take larger dosages. In fact, we have heard
of adherents of Dr. Christopher who took as many
as 50 capsules per day in preparation for a liver flush,
not only expelling impacted material but heavy mucus
linings in the colon.
Juvenile Polyposis
Though genetics plays a crucial
role in the development of multiple juvenile polyps (called "juvenile
polyposis," which can develop in the stomach or small intestines, but
are most commonly found in the colon) - poor colon maintenance
is a contributing factor. Dr. Bernard Jensen spent a lifetime
demonstrating that poor colon maintenance contributed to intestinal
problems - with polyps, both cancerous and benign, a common
by-product.

Either way, just
remember the goal: a clear colon, and at least
three bowel movements per day. After using Omega LB
for five days, you should be ready to begin the next
step: Parasite Removal
(which is also of five day duration), OR
you may choose to combine Step One and Two into one
aggressive five day "liver flush" preparation.
Optional:
Although most psyllium products are advertised as
remedies for constipation, it has other uses.
Its place in this Program is that it DOES
help to collect the debris created by Omega LB
and keep the colon clean in the process. It is
not a replacement for Omega LB, and Clean Colon
will not perform the thorough cleansing and
colon strengthens functions that Omega LB covers,
but its "bulking" action helps keep things moving.
Those of us who are long-term users of psyllium
do not regard it as anyway unpleasant in taste or texture.
New users are not always so enamored.
This author
hasn't made a "smoothie" in his blender in over
20 years without psyllium being in it. If you
are not a fan of psyllium, you might use it
periodically throughout the Program for
"general cleanup." You'll know what we mean
once you start. We feel it is an indispensable
part of any good health maintenance regimen -
whether you are preparing for a liver cleanse or not.

What You'll Need
You'll need just one product for
Step One: Omega LB. We also highly recommend
Clean Colon - though it is not
absolutely necessary to successfully complete the Program.
What to Expect
For most, either soft stool
or
diarrhea, depending on the condition of your colon at the time you
begin the Program. The most active purgative in this product
is "cascara sagrada" (California Buckthorn), which loosens
the bowels and causes contractions in the colon.

In case you think that
four AO products and a handful of items from the drug store
present an onerous or burdensome regimen, consider the
requirements of Dr. Jensen's "Seven-Day Cleansing Program"
(and we're not belittling it - it's a good program; 1999 edition,
p. 105-107):
- 11 various tools
- 27 different supplies, food items, and supplement products
- 21 very active days performing the cleanse
We believe our approach
substantially simplifies liver and colon care management.
