Paraguayan Detox Tea

I was told that to really get a true understanding of natural healing here in Paraguay, you might have to talk to a native Guarani healer, an expert in all about the herbs and medicinals in this country. That sounded exciting, but before I have even had a chance to find one, I already found an amazing healing and cleansing plant myself. That is the healthy looking green, leafy Boldo plant, which grows as big as a bush.

My personal history with Boldo went back a few years while in Canada, and I had found a box of Boldo teabags which I gave to my step-mother with chronic constipation. Lo and behold, she asked me for more. Boldo really helped her stomach and aided in constipation for her.  There was no use looking for laxatives when this tea seemed to do the trick.  I searched but sadly was never able to find more in the entire country.

Fast forward to yesterday at dinnertime, one of our party had come down with extreme upset stomach similar to food poisoning. Eating at a curbside food stand sometimes has it’s downsides. Our local friends showed us a 6 inch sprig of the Boldo bush from the garden and asked if he would like to have Boldo tea, saying that it is a common stomach remedy here. In fact, he says it takes away acid stomach and helps with cleansing the body.

Of course, he went for the tea. It had a distinctive taste but was easy to take.  He began to feel the soothing effects in his sick stomach right away. He filled his water bottle with it, and continued drinking it the next day. 

Here are some of the great helpful benefits the Boldo plant:

  • helps with digestive problems, and unsettled stomach
  • helps with liver and kidney problems (balances uric acid levels)
  • aids in eliminating the production of bile
  • aids in eliminating intestinal parasites
  • helps with gallstones

I have found out that the essential oil is toxic and not recommended, but when the locals recommend the hot tea, it’s obviously tried and true, and likely going to be very helpful. Everywhere here in Paraguay you can find Boldo tea in fancy packaging, or dried leaves in packages sold at the local markets, with the words “Digestivo, Tranquilizante, Analgesico, Afeccion Hepatica” on the back, which gives me the idea that the local people know what it’s actually good for!

This morning I even had a cup of hot Boldo Tea to celebrate my final day here!  If you can get your hands on some, even for an addition to your herbal medicine chest, go for it.

Hulda Clark Liver Cleanse Recipe

Your liver is a large important organ in your body, weighing up to 4 pounds.  The liver performs over 500 functions in the body (such as blood clotting, bile production, helps with digestion and bowel function, cholesterol, regulating blood sugar levels, and much more), and is like the chemical laboratory of the body.  It treats 1.4 liters of blood per minute, and cleans out harmful chemicals from the body.  The liver is a basic detoxifier of the body.  Without the liver, we would die within 24 hours.

The liver cleans out non-nutrient items that come through the body such as insecticides, household chemicals, body products/chemicals, prescription drugs, food additives and the list goes on.  Your liver is the filter and it is a great protective organ, and someone has even said that we are really a big “walking liver”, as it has so much influence over the health of our entire body.

The bad news is that the liver can become sluggish or congested and overloaded.  You can then develop symptoms and disease such as skin outbreaks, acne, fatigue, hormone imbalance, allergies and food sensitives, blood sugar problems and cholesterol problems.  Cleaning out your vacuum filter sure changes the way it works and the same thing goes for your liver.

The good news is that it is possible to support the liver with cleansing.  I have personally done the Hulda Clark Liver Cleanse at least 6 times or more.  It was not difficult but I had to set aside 2 days for it.  The Liver Cleanse should not be done if you are weak.  But you can discover many benefits in getting your body filter cleaned out of stones.

Enjoy cleansing your liver,

HULDA CLARK LIVER CLEANSE RECIPE

(Also known as Liver Flush or Gallstone Flush)

From “The Cure for All Diseases” by Dr. Hulda R. Clark, p. 552-558

Cleanse your liver twice a year

Cleaning the liver bile ducts is the most powerful procedure that you can do to improve your body’s health.  But it should not be done before the parasite program and for best results should follow the kidney cleanse and any dental work you need.

Ingredients:

  • Epsom Salts – 4 tablespoons
  • Fresh pink grapefruit – 1 large or 2 small, enough to squeeze 2/3 to 3/4 cup juice
  • Pint jar with lid

Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal with fruit, fruit juice, bread, and preserves or honey (no butter or milk), baked potato or other vegetables with salt only.  This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver.  Higher pressure pushes out more stones.

2:00 p.m. 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 tablespoons in  cups water and pour this into a jar.  This makes four servings, 3/4 cup each.  Set the jar in the refrigerator to get cold (this is for convenience and taste only).

6:00 p.m. Drink one serving (3/4 cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts.  If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tablespoon in 3/4 cup water now.  You may add 1/8 tsp vitamin C powder to improve the taste.  You may also drink a few mouthfuls of water afterward or rinse your mouth.  Get the olive oil and grapefruit out to warm up.

8:00 p.m. Repeat by drinking another 3/4 cup of Epsom salts.  You haven’t eaten since two o’clock, but you won’t feel hungry.  Get your bedtime chores done.  This timing is critical for success;  don’t be more than 10 minutes early or late.

9:45 p.m.  Pour 1/2 cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar.  Squeeze the grapefruit by hand into the measuring cup.  Remove pulp with fork.  You should have at least 1/2 cup, more (up to 3/4 cup) is best.  You may top it up with lemonade.  Add this to the olive oil.  Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this).  Now 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 mixed.  Take it to your bedside if you want, but drink it standing up.  Get it down within 5 minutes.  (fifteen minutes for the very elderly or weak persons).  Lie down immediately.  You might fail to get stones out if you don’t.  The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out.  Be ready for bed ahead of time.  Don’t clean up the kitchen.  As soon as the drink is down walk to your bed and lie down flat on your back with your head up high on the 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 duct valves are open  (Thank you Epsom salts!).  Go to sleep, you may fail to get stones out if you don’t.

Next Morning:   Upon awakening take your third dose of Epsom salts.  If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts.  You may go back to bed.  Don’t take this potion before 6:00 a.m.

2 hours later:   Take your fourth (the last) dose of Epsom salts.  Drink 3/4 cup of the mixture.  You may go back to bed.

After 2 more hours you may eat.  Start with fruit juice.  Half an hour later eat fruit.  One hour later you may eat regular food but keep it light.  By supper you should feel recovered.

How well did you do?   Expect diarrhea in the morning.  Use a flashlight to look for gallstones in the toilet with the bowel movement.  Look for the green kind since this is proof that they are genuine gallstones, not food residue.  Only bile from the liver is pea green.  The bowel movement sinks but gallstones flat because of the cholesterol inside.  Count them all roughly, whether tan or green.  You will need to total 2000 stones before the liver is clean enough to rid you of allergies or bursitis or upper back pains permanently.  The first cleanse may rid you of them for a few days, but as the stones from the rear travel forward, they give you the same symptoms again.  You may repeat cleanses at two-week intervals.  Never cleanse when you are ill.

How safe is the liver cleanse?  It is very safe.  My opinion is based on 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 afterward, although in every one of these cases the maintenance parasite program had been neglected.  This is why the instructions direct you to complete the parasite and kidney rinse programs first.

Symptoms of liver disease include nausea, vomiting, lack of energy, fatigue, loss of appetite, itching, yellowing skin and eyes, liver pain and/or dark urine.  Gallbladder disease sometimes includes pain and digestive problems.
