Does Lemon Juice Detox the Liver?
The liver, the gall bladder and the colon, as well as the stomach and digestive system are all connected and important to good health. It seems odd that the stomach, which converts food to useable nutrients would have an effect on the liver, which is primarily a filter for the blood.

Lemon Juice and Digestion
Lemon juice added to a glass of water can be sipped throughout a meal to help the stomach's digestive ability by adding to the digestive juices and acid. This is important because some people have the inability to completely digest their food before it is released into the intestine. This syndrome is sometimes called a leaky gut. These undigested particles end up in the blood stream. The liver sees them as contaminates, food particles, even minute particles should not be in the bloodstream. The liver filters them out which improves the digestion process relieving the liver of the filtering load.
Lemon Juice and Gallstones
Lemon juice is also used as part of a cleansing process to rid the body of gallstones. Gallstones is calcified bile usually surrounding a parasite or bacteria, in an attempt to destroy the bacteria. Unfortunately the body has a difficult time removing the gallstones. Gallstones are porous and provide nesting places for further infection, compounding the problem. Lemon Juice and Your Liver
The liver cleansing process consists of lemon juice mixed with olive oil and Epsom salts. This is taken at specified times during the day and evening of treatment. A non-fat diet is prescribed for the day before the cleanse and the day off. Because the bile isn't being used to breakdown the fat it will build up. The bile then builds up adding pressure to push the stones out of the gallbladder.Lemon juice has another beneficial use to the liver. It is high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant. When the liver removes certain contaminants from the blood stream it converts them to free radicals. Antioxidants neutralize the effects of the free radicals.
