The Re-JUVA-nate Your Health Liver Cleanse Program
An hour-by-hour guide to effective liver cleansing
Adapted from the booklet Re-JUVA-nate Your Health, by D. Gary Young.
re-ju-ve-nate: v(1807) [re- + Latin juvenis young] 1 a : to make young or youthful again : give new vigor to b : to restore to an original or new state
Gary Young asserts, "You can't have a toxic liver and have good health. Cleansing the liver should be an everyday process."
From that starting point, he has written the booklet, Re-JUVA-nate Your Health: Optimize Liver Health, in which he states that degenerative diseases, as well as hormonal, blood sugar and cholesterol problems, are the result of a toxic, poorly functioning liver.
The liver is one of the most important and overworked organs in the body, playing a role in detoxifying the body. It
- filters the blood, processing all food, nutrients, alcohol, drugs and other materials that enter the bloodstream, and letting them pass, breaking them down or storing them;
- manufactures bile to emulsify fats for digestion;
- makes and/or breaks down many hormones, including cholesterol, testosterone and estrogens; and
- regulates blood sugar levels.
The quality of virtually every function and cell of your body depends on your liver.
When the liver is damaged due to excess alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis or poor diet, an excess of toxins can build up in the blood and tissues that can result in degenerative disease and death.
Gary then lists several indicators of "less than optimal liver health", some general facts about the liver, things that put the liver under stress, and a list of conditions that are caused by a stressed liver. (See the article on symptoms of liver overload for more details.)
The two best parts of this booklet, however, are the liver cleanse programs and the "Recipes for a Healthier Liver".
The Re-JUVA-nate Your Health Liver Cleanse Programs
The Basic Liver Cleanse
Immediately after you awaken: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a 10 oz glass of purified water (may sweeten with Agave syrup if desired) and drink right down. Then take the following:
Liver Cleanse Protocols:
Because of the differences between people, their specific needs and how their systems respond to supplements and oils, you will need to do some experimentation to find the liver cleanse regimen that is just right for you.
The following links will take you to examples of what some people have done. So, give one a try, tinker with it, tweak it, and see how you do.
- 2 tablets of the hepatic clearing supplement,
- 2 capsules of the detoxifying enzyme blend,
- 1 capsules of the fat-digesting enzyme blend, and
- 20 drops of the liver clearing blend (diluted 50-50 with mixing oil and placed into a capsule; basically a full "00" capsule).
Second hour: Have another 10 oz glass of lemon (see above), adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. (Do not take the cayenne in a capsule. It will not work the same.)
Third hour: Have another glass of the Vital Life Juice, followed by two scoops of the protein power meal replacement and 1 tablespoon of the liver clearing drink.
Fourth hour: Drink another 10 oz of lemon drink.

Follow this diet for 10-20 days, or 3 months for best results.
If there are any problems with bowel function or movement, add some of the fiber supplement to one of your drinks and take with the colon toning supplement. This will further enhance the cleansing action of the liver.
Tips for cleansing and/or weight loss:
Any of the recipes in the "Recipes for a Healthy Liver" section of the Re-JUVA-nate Your Health booklet are helpful for cleansing the liver; but, if you continue with the juices and eat only the foods on the list, you'll not only cleanse, but have a phenomenal loss of excess weight.
For quicker weight loss, double or triple the fat-digesting enzyme blend — up to 6 capsules per day.
Anytime you're eating away from home, always eat a salad and add a tablespoon of the liver clearing drink to it. This will greatly improve your digestion. For other foods, add the liver clearing spice blend. The liver clearing drink or the liver clearing spice blend should be part of every meal.
