I don't know if I can handle liver flushing anymore

[Shawnamarie]

Hi everyone!

So, last night was liver flush #9, and it was pretty hard. I did the hulda clark version, epsom salts and all. With each flush the ES as well as the OO/GF mixtures seem more and more difficult to get down. Though I found that holding my nose while gulping the oil/juice mixture did help.

I took the oil/juice mixture at 11pm, slept, woke up nauseous at 6am with diarrhea, went back to sleep, woke up at 8am, took an ES dose at 8:30am, and then was very nauseous and vomited at 9am. Woohoo! The odd thing is that I was throwing up some oil from the night before. Isn't that strange?

I have done one before where I just used magnesium citrate capsules and it didn't seem as effective. I had hoped to do another one next month, but I'm not sure if I can go through with it. Even if I use mag cit instead of the ES, my body seems to have a hard time processing the oil/juice mixture.

Any thoughts on my experience? Thank you and happy new year!

Blessings,
Shawna

Hey,

I can't really offer any help with the nausea/vomiting... I've never done a flush before.

Perhaps for your next flush, you should try just taking one dose of Epsom salts? Like 1 tablespoon two hours before the oil?

You say that your flush without ES was not as successful... I wonder if this might have something to do with that:

Shelley said, "Julia Chang says that an Epsom salts flush will cause a kind of stone formation that you can tell is fake by feel because it's not as waxy but may mistake for a stone by sight"

So maybe when you use so much ES, you are seeing a lot of "stones" that aren't stones at all. Just a thought, I could be totally wrong!

Do you notice any improvements in symptoms after liver flushes?

Excuse me for butting in here, but don't you have leaky gut? Shelley said not to LF then because it's too hard on the intestines. I'll see if I can find the post. I think maybe it was a post to hoppy (?) Anyway, it might give you an excuse to take a break from flushing!

Thank you both for your input!

Agnes, I did a 3 month protocol to help with the leaky gut and thought it was somewhat under control. Perhaps I am still a bit weak in that sense. I don't know.

I do think that the epsom salts are a bit of a bugger for me. I think I might just cut down on them next time.
