What science does suggest — possible benefits
-
Some lab/animal studies show that combinations of herbs/spices like Garlic, Ginger and Turmeric may help with metabolic issues — reducing fat accumulation, improving antioxidant activity, lowering blood lipids. For example, in diabetic‑model rats, a mixture of these improved antioxidant defenses, reduced lipid peroxidation, and improved some metabolic markers.

Some studies with simpler versions — e.g. ginger + lemon juice — suggest potential to reduce liver damage (in experimental models). MDPI+1
-
Diets including spices/foods that support healthy digestion, metabolism, and anti‑oxidative / anti‑inflammatory functions may support general well‑being, which could help with some problems such as poor digestion, mild liver stress, or sluggishness — especially when combined with overall healthy habits (balanced diet, physical activity, avoiding processed foods).
So — it is plausible that a healthy diet with these ingredients may contribute to better liver/metabolic function, antioxidant status, and general health over time, which some people (perhaps you) might feel as improvements (less fatigue, better digestion).
⚠️ What is not proven — and what remains uncertain
-
There’s no strong scientific evidence that such mixtures “cleanse your colon,” “remove fat from liver,” “cure” fatty liver, or “restore vision” by themselves. The notion of “cleansing” in medical sense — removing built-up toxins, plaque, or reversing chronic organ damage — isn’t supported by rigorous clinical trials. Healthline+2Africa Check+2

The claims that a drink of onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, lemon, etc. can “clean out” arterial/blockage in vessels are likewise unproven. For example, fact‑checks caution against such sweeping claims — even if individual ingredients show modest benefits. THIP Media+2Africa Check+2
-
Many studies that show benefits are done in animals (rats, fish, etc.), not humans — and the effects in animals don’t always translate to humans. jfds.journals.ekb.eg+2OUP Academic+2

When it comes to “vision improvement” or reversal of serious liver disease or colon disease: I found no reliable scientific study showing that this exact mixture (onion + garlic + ginger + turmeric + lemon) alone restored vision or fully cured fatty liver disease or colon problems.
🎯 Why you might feel better — but caution still applies
Here are a few reasons why you might feel significant improvement after using such a mixture:
-
If before hand your diet was poor (processed foods, little fresh produce), switching to fresh spices/foods + perhaps cutting back on junk can make a big difference — improved digestion, reduced bloating, better energy.
-
Placebo effect — your belief that it helps can influence how you feel (more energy, better mood, less discomfort).
-
Other lifestyle changes: maybe alongside the mixture, you improved other habits (more water, less fatty food, more movement). Those could be doing much of the “real work.”
-
Some liver‑supportive effects (especially anti‑inflammation, antioxidant boost) may modestly help liver function or reduce metabolic stress — which might help if fatty liver was mild or reversible.
✅ If you want to continue: How to Do It as Safely as Possible
If you’re going to keep using such a natural‑food mixture — and you’re 60 — I suggest doing it as a gentle, occasional supportive practice, not a cure. For instance:
-
Use moderate amounts: a small clove(s) of garlic or modest pieces of ginger/turmeric, not over‑dosing.
-
Make sure your overall diet is balanced — plenty of vegetables/fruit, fibre, whole grains, moderate fats — don’t just rely on “health drinks.”
-
Pay attention to signals: if you feel any discomfort (digestion issues, heartburn, stomach pain) — stop or reduce dose.
-
Keep up regular medical check-ups: blood tests, liver function tests, vision tests — especially given age. Don’t skip standard care.
-
Combine with healthy lifestyle: regular movement/walks, moderate weight, good sleep, avoid smoking/alcohol or excess sugar.
