Liver Cleansing Diet for Liver Disease by Dr. Dodds

W. Jean Dodds recommends a formula of 2 cups of pollack, cod or any other low fat white fish fillet to 6 cups of veggies and potatoes, or 25% pollack, cod or any other low fat white fish fillet to 75% veggies and potatoes. Turkey, duck or pork can be substituted or added, if the dog will not eat fish or has an intolerance to fish. This recipe is for a 15-18 pound dog and to be fed over approximately one week; please adjust according to the weight of your pet.
Author: Dr. Jean Dodds

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups moist white cooking potatoes
  • 1 and 1/2 cups sweet potatoes
  • 1 and 1/2 cups of zucchini
  • 1 and 1/2 cup green beans (kale, celery, summer squash, chopped carrots, spinach, green beans or yellow squash and scrambled eggs, if these are tolerated)
  • 2 cups pollack (cod or any other low fat white fish fillet)

Instructions

  • Scrub the potatoes well and cut them up crosswise into 2″ pieces so the skin circles the potatoes. OR, you can peel the potatoes before you cook them and cook until they are soft. When cooled, remove the skins.
  • Wash the vegetables steam or cook until very tender.
  • 2 cups pollack, cod or any other low fat white fish fillet, baked or poached in a frying pan with water until fish is white and flaky.
  • Mix all ingredients together until it is well blended. For flavor you can add a pinch of garlic powder and a little Italian Seasoning to each meal.

Notes

Add a multivitamin or supplement.
Feed three to four meals per day.
Add the herbs, milk thistle (silymarin) and S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) to help cleanse the liver.
