Liver Cleansing Drink

I was introduced to Dr. Linda Lancaster because I was dealing with chronic lyme, and she really helped me feel better. The first thing she put me on was a liver-cleansing program, and this detox drink is a great way to start the day. She wrote a book, Harmonic Healing, which is super helpful if you want to do your own at-home detox.

Liver Cleansing Breakfast Drink

This drink is designed to cleanse, purify, and restore the normal functioning of the  liver, gall bladder and kidneys. Continue for 2-3 weeks at a time. 

1 whole orange or grapefruit and 1 whole lemon (remove the peel and chop into pieces) 
1-2 tbs. of cold-pressed olive oil (start with a little, and add more as you can tolerate it) 
Small pinch of cayenne pepper 
1-2 cloves of fresh garlic (or 2-4 capsules of garlic from your health food store and swallow them with your drink) 
1-2 tsp. ground flax seed
Thin slice of grated ginger root (about 1 tsp)

Place the above into a blender and cover the chopped fruit with water. Liquefy and drink very slowly, thoroughly mixing the drink with your saliva before swallowing.
