Product Description In this revised edition of his best-selling book, formerly The Amazing Liver Cleanse, Andreas Moritz addresses the most common but rarely recognized cause of illness - gallstones congesting the liver. Twenty million Americans suffer from attacks of gallstones every year. In many cases, treatment merely consists of removing the gallbladder, at the cost of $5 billion a year. But this purely symptom-oriented approach does not eliminate the cause of the illness, and in many cases, sets the stage for even more serious conditions. Most adults living in the industrialized world, and especially those suffering a chronic illness such as heart disease, arthritis, MS, cancer, or diabetes, have hundreds if not thousands of gallstones (mainly clumps of hardened bile) blocking the bile ducts of their liver. This book provides a thorough understanding of what causes gallstones in the liver and gallbladder and why these stones can be held responsible for the most common diseases so prevalent in the world today. It provides the reader with the knowledge needed to recognize the stones and gives the necessary, do-it-yourself instructions to painlessly remove them in the comfort of one's home. It also gives practical guidelines on how to prevent new gallstones from being formed. The widespread success of The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush is a testimony to the power and effectiveness of the cleanse itself. The liver cleanse has led to extraordinary improvements in health and wellness among thousands of people who have already given themselves the precious gift of a strong, clean, revitalized liver. Andreas Moritz is a Medical Intuitive and practitioner of Ayurveda, Iridology, Shiatsu and Vibrational Medicine. Author of The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush, Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation, Lifting the Veil of Duality and It's Time to Come Alive. Founder of the innovative healing systems, Ener-Chi Art and Sacred Santemony - Divine Chanting for Every Occasion.

Covers More Than Just The Flush & That OTHER Information Is More Opinion Than Fact! May 25, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I gave this book 3 Stars because it is overpriced. I was only interested in the regimen and what supported the efficacy of this regimen, not excerpts from his other book. I found this book repititious and redundant. So, why DID I pay $14 more than the OTHER version?
I've had this book for several months, referred by one of my Canadian associates. He was taking the cleanse and was impressed by the results.
However there are 2 books on this subject, with a $14 price difference. So, my question was: "What is the difference?"...and "Is the more expensive one better?"
Since I only own THIS version, I can say that I thought it was a little expensive for what it offered...and that IF it would had stayed to the subject line, the book would have easily been 100 pages shorter. The editing could have been MUCH better, as many topics were repeated over and over. The continual referrence to his other books and to Ayurevedic as the basic to good health, well...I don't agree. I don't fit their model.
New Age thinking also shows up in this book.
There's even health and wellness advice that is just plain incorrect.
Those are just a few things...including endorsement of products by mlm companies as 'the best' when, from personal knowledge, it if far from such (I'll spare you the horror story).
BUT if we stick to the cleanse, it is worthwhile. The regimen is simple: apple juice for 6 days, followed by the purging/flushing stage using epsom salts, grapefruit and olive oil. The formula and the alternatives are in the book. I will also assume that THIS formula is in the CHEAPER version of this book. If I had to do it over again, THAT is what I would have purchased.
Not much attention is paid to the kidney flush or its benefits. So be aware of that. This book is NOT the gospel but does do the job at describing a regimen to clean sludge and stones out of your liver and gallbladder. I'm on day #6 of this flush right now.
Tonight's the fateful night. Olive oil and grapefruit for dinner. Yum, yum.

Absolutely amazing information and it works! Everyone should be cleaning their liver and gall bladder!
After reading the other 11 reviews....... January 17, 2008 20 out of 20 found this review helpful
I had to write my comments about this book.
First, I borrowed it from a friend within the last two weeks and have just completed my first cleanse following the instructions by Andreas Moritz. I have done several liver/gallbladder cleanses in the past using similar but not exact techniques, always successfully, but never this successful. So I am not a newcomer to the cleanse, and I do have something to compare to. It has been a few years since I've done a liver/gallbladder cleanse, and have encountered events over that time that brought my level of health to a point where I began to think about the need to do a cleanse again -- it just seemed like the right time -- when a friend 'happened' to show me her new book.
I find it troubling and dismaying to read such pronouncements as in several of the reviews by people who admit they have not even done the clean yet to see if it works! Opinions do not make facts. How can we pass judgment without trying something, as long as it is not dangerous?
To the implication that apple juice, Epsom salts, virgin olive oil and orange juice signify quackery, I have news: apple juice, virgin olive oil, and orange juice are simple foods that man has used for thousands of years, and Epsom salts has a very long history of safe and very effective use as a colon cleanser. Yes, it tastes gross, but I put fresh lemon juice in mine and drank it with a straw inserted somewhat back in the mouth and drank it quickly and without breathing; I was able to get each glass down in one go. It was not pleasant; neither was it the end of the world. I simply rinsed my mouth and brushed my teeth afterwards, as recommended. I didn't feel nauseated or gag, and folks, it was over before I knew it. It could by no stretch of the imagination be classed as torture, just tasted very unpleasant, but nothing impossible to do. It lasted all of maybe one minute.
To suggest that the six days of preparation and the flush itself (the olive oil and grapefruit juice part) is torture and worse even than cancer treatment itself (!!!).......I simply cannot find words for. The six days consists mainly of a certain amount of apple juice daily (unless you are diabetic or otherwise cannot tolerate large quantities of apple juice, in which case there are alternatives), and a simple diet and lifestyle. One can compare this 'extreme' form of 'torture' to cancer treatment??? I don't think so. I've watched a number of friends go through cancer treatment and I can guarantee you they would rather have been drinking apple juice, Epsom salts, and olive oil any day, as well as keep all their body parts, not to mention the physical and emotional agony that goes with such a serious disease. The prep for the cleanse does not involve fasting or other forms of deprivation, either. I felt strong and alert and had not a single pang of hunger. The most unconscionable thing of all is to make such suggestions without having done the flush onesself in order to be able to speak to the issue from a point of personal experience.
Yes, I am a little hot and bothered about such snide remarks from people who have not even tried the flush. You know the old saying 'The proof is in the pudding'. I effortlessly, painlessly, passed 242 stones over about a 24-hour period at the end of the flush; I know because I counted the larger ones (they float and are bright green, very easy to see) over that time period because I wanted to know if this flush was going to be successful, and if so, how successful. My largest stones were the size of a small almond, some were the size of a raisin, some the size of a pea, and some were about the size of a grain of barley (those were the sizes I counted) with many, many more smaller than that but still easily seen, which were impossible to count because there were too many. There were probably some I couldn't see, as well.
And, for the record, I have actually felt the stones travelling down the bile duct (not on this flush, but on my previous one), so he's not making that up. It is very unmistakable.....light but very discernable; it sort of tickles -- I remember giggling softly, and feeling excited that this was actually working. I didn't feel any movement this time, and I did wonder if that meant the flush was not going to be very effective. But now, on the other side of the flush, I know that you don't have to feel the movement in order for the stones to be released.
From the get-go I felt well and in fact, my feeling of well-being only increased as the six days prep went by, and by the time the flush itself occurred, I felt the best I've felt in years. If one flush done by this method can produce not only flushing of stones to this degree of effectiveness, but also give such a profound feeling of lightness and vastly increased energy, of mental alertness, of deep and sound sleep, of physical strength and lessened back pain (major spinal surgery 21 years ago, living in intermittent chronic pain, with diminished lifestyle abilities), I will definitely be doing this again, on a regular basis. One year of painless and very effective investment in getting healthier doesn't seem like an unreasonable commitment. I look forward to seeing what further benefits may accrue.
The book is easy-to-read, easy to understand, written in a non-strident manner, enough simple diagrams so one can picture what is happening in the body anatomically, and the pictures are there for all to see.
I am not saying I agreed with every single word in the book; I didn't. But if we are talking effectiveness of this method for ridding the body of liver/gallbladder stones, this is the only book I'm using from now on. Whatever I might not have agreed with had nothing to do with the issue at hand.
I gave the book 4 stars only because there didn't seem to be good source material/references to the medical literature which I would like to have seen some of the comments tied to. However, I have seen such info elsewhere, so I know it exists. Lacking its inclusion does not make the book any less true; it just would have strengthened its credibility. I have since seen and ordered Mr. Moritz' other book, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse, which I believe is his newer book; it includes all the same information in a more condensed form (yet it is still complete), and the selling feature for me was that it does contain good reference material.
For those who can keep an open, enquiring mind and give something that is safe and painless a try, you will probably be shocked and thrilled at the outcome (no pun intended) and how good you will probably start feeling very soon. Our bodies have such innate healing wisdom; when given the right assistance and support, they can bring us to a place of strength, health and joy.
The ancient psalmist was right: truly, we are 'fearfully and wonderfully' made.

I've been wanting this book for so long and has been on my Christmas list forever. I finally borrowed it from the library. I'm sure glad I did and didn't waste the money. I'd suggest you borrow it, too. What a hoax. Just the thought of apple juice, Epsom salt, virgin olive oil and fresh orange juice makes me sick.
There are so many disclaimers in this book, let alone he has no medical background. Takes six days to prepare and drink specific concoctions, then the night you're ready to do this (at 10pm exactly) he says "stand next to your bed, drink the concoction", holding nostrils he suggests, and "don't take longer than 5 minutes to drink it down." Then he says "LIE DOWN STRAIGHT AWAY! and lie perfectly still and do not talk for 20 minutes".
Please allow me to share the "IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY" part to you: "... it is likely that, on their way out, some gallstones will be caught in the colon. They can quickly be removed through colonic irrigation. This should ideally be done on the 2nd or 3rd day after the liver flush. If gallstones remain in the colon, they can cause irritation, infection, headaches and abdominal discomfort, thyroid problems, etc. These stones can eventually become a source of toxemia in the body. If colonics are not available where you live, you can take a coffee enema followed by a water enema. This, however, does NOT guarantee that all the remaining stones will be removed. There is no real substitute for colonic irrigation with regard to liver flushing. Doing a colema-board enema, though, is the closest you can have to a professional colonic. If you settle for anything less than a colonic irrigation or colema enema, mix one level teaspoon of Epsom salts with one glass of warm water and drink it first thing in the morning on the day of any other chosen colon cleanse following the liver flush. On the importance of colon and kidney cleansing: Although the liver flush on its own can produce truly amazing results, it should ideally be done FOLLOWING a colon and kidney cleanse. Cleansing the colon ensures that the expelled gallstones are easily removed from the large intestine. There should be a kidney cleanse some time after the first 2-4 liver flushes, and then again after your liver has been completely cleaned out. And my favorite quote "if at any time during the night you feel the urge to have a bowel movement, do so". ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What choice do we have. I laughed out loud many times throughout the book and shared it with others. If you're looking for some humor, BORROW this book from your library. As a matter of fact, I live in a HUGE metropolitan city in central Florida, and NO LIBRARY within 500 miles had it. They had to borrow it from Rowan Public Library in North Carolina. Please save your money. I gave it two stars for the humor aspect.
