Weird Liver Cleanse Results

[Raymond]

Hello Shelley! Happy New Year!!

I miss your forum and am glad I found your new one. I am in the process of doing Dr. Schulze's 30 day detox program. The bowel cleanse was a breeze as I have done it before. For the first time in my life, I was able to complete 100% the 3 day fast required of his liver cleanse. It wasn't difficult at all and I didn't get any symptoms of hypoglycemia or migraines - a first for me. I felt amazing after the liver cleanse. However, I never saw anything green coming out of me.

By day 5 post cleanse, I started this intense itching all over my body - like I could scratch my skin right off. This continued until day 10 post cleanse. I was at the mall, of all places, and felt like I was going to get the runs. I made it to the bathroom and thought I had the big "D". When I got up, the entire toilet bowl was GREEN - green chaff, green broken up stones, etc. You could not see the water there was that much green stuff in the water. By the next morning, the itching decreased about 80%. I continued to have solid green bm's for two more days. Then they finally turned to a very light brown - almost too light brown versus my norm.

As I am still itching, do you recommend I do a liver flush? My bowels are working daily but I obviously stirred up something huge with this cleanse. I need to start the kidney cleanse. Should I do this first or do a flush?

I appreciate your feedback!

P.S. Very, very cool website. Glad you are doing this!

Yipee, Raymond's here!

Okay, now are you telling me that you allowed the refuse from a liver flush sit in your bowels for 10 days?????????????????

Aarrggghhhh!

No,you should not liver flush yet. NO way. You gotta go back to fiber because it is NOT normal for that stuff to be stuck that long. You might want to consider doing a saline flush or salt water flush, because the blockage must be pretty high up.

And then you really must do a semi-fast again and give your kidneys a break. The itching all over means they were really stressed by the toxins. And you probably messed up your microbe colonies too, so live acidophilus and ACV would be a good idea - the cleansing drink, no dairy, that kind of thing.

Okay - I will do a SWF and continue making the cleansing drink. I have been drinking that all along. Question - HOW did that muck get stuck for 10 days?? I was pooping like a goose that entire time. I am confused. I have also been taking probiotics for the last week as I read that if you start pooping green, it is possible you killed all your friendlies.

I will wait another 1-2 weeks after doing this before doing the kidney cleanse. And to think I felt SO good during and after the liver cleanse!

Goodness, I don't know how it got stuck, maybe the same place that the parasite glob came from? I suggest using massage more next time you flush, and rather than lying down the whole time, do some stretching and such. Keep doing it all week. Do you take epsom salts or mag. citrate? The mag may be relaxing you too much without giving enough of a laxative effect.

Oh and don't worry about the green - someone got that backwards. Green means oxygen, and oxygen means microbe activity.

I want to clarify that I did a 5 day liver cleanse, versus an overnight liver flush. Schulze's cleanse requires you to drink his liver flush drink first thing in the morning. It consists of garlic, olive oil, ginger, apple juice and water. You increase the garlic and olive oil by 1 clove/tbsp each day until you hit 5 on the 5th day. You follow that drink with his liver/gallbladder/parasite formula and then you follow that with his blood d-tox formula. You take the liver/gb formula 3x daily and the d-tox 5x daily. You also make a double dosage of superfood. Days 1 and 5 you are restricted to fruits and salads pretty much. Days 2-4 you are strictly on a juice fast. On those days you also are required to drink his potassium broth. I found I actually liked that!

I think I felt so good on this cleanse because I was drinking so much fluid and I am sure the herbs helped a lot as well. I had just finished the 5 day IF#2 bowel cleanse the week prior so I know my bowel was working great. That is why this is so confusing.

I have read others on Schulze's board have taken this 5 day cleanse and not seen anything green. My spouse did this cleanse with me and again saw nothing green either. The theory is that his cleanse dissolves the stones. Obviously I must have been pretty clogged up and thus needed this cleanse. That is why I asked about doing an overnight liver flush - perhaps there is more stuck in there trying to get out????

Do you think this chaff and muck got stuck in my liver and took a while to dislodge? Or did my bowel cleanse the week prior just not do the trick to prepare my body for the liver cleanse? If so, is there a better bowel cleanse to do......you know I have just about tried them all!!

well I'd have to see which kind of green it was, because it could just be the super-food you saw. Most super-foods when transiting really fast look very green because of all the chlorophyll. But the fact that there were stones there means you did flush stones out, and that can happen on the 5 day flush just as much as a single-night flush. I'm just surprised you didn't feel anything! That kind of release usually feels like an attack of Montezuma's revenge.

I adore Potassium Broth. Really takes away the healing crisis.

Give yourself a 10 day break and see how you feel. Do a new symptoms list and see if it suggests liver flushing or more bowel management. It would indeed be fascinating to see what kind of results you get from a regular liver flush!
