Liver flushes can make you feel very hot and sweaty on the night you do them as the toxins are released and the body cleanses. You can feel nausea, dizzyness, burp up stomach acids, blech!
Rarely, people come close to passing out because their liver gives up so many toxins/stones at once. Sometimes people vomit, either from the oil not being mixed well enough with the juice, or from Epsom salts due to magnesium toxicity.
Sometimes a stone can get stuck in a duct and lower the amount of bile released. This is easily taken care of with another flush. If you have clay-colored (gray) stools, or slick and floating, after a flush, you can bet a stone is blocking bile, as bile makes brown stools.
Some people have experienced pain with a stuck stone, but no one has had to go to a hospital. Best thing to do is to make sure you dissolve the stones as much as possible before flushing.
Are Liver Flushes Dangerous
Some people fail to clean their colons after a flush, so they get fatigue, brain fog, etc., due to the released toxins/bile in the colon making their way back into the bloodstream.
Liver flushing can be safely done every two weeks IF you are practicing excellent colon cleansing after each flush. If you aren’t doing colonic irrigations or a series of deep enemas, you are allowing the toxins that get released with each flush to re-poison your body, causing stress on your liver, kidneys and lymphatic system. Thus, if you cannot afford colonics or don’t have an enema or colema setup, best to only do them every 4 weeks.
If a flush does not release any stones and/or you have pain and discomfort due to a stuck stone, you can follow that flush with another flush right away, again, as long as you are practicing good bowel management. It’s common to have 2 flushes in a row give up no stones because the liver is too clogged and releasing chaffe instead. The third flush usually results in many stones now that the liver is able to release bile with pressure.
After every 4 liver flushes, do some kidney management to give it a break at the very least. The kidney works hard after every liver flush. To give the kidney a break and to cleanse it just a bit, drink parsley tea, cranberry juice, at last 1 quart of water a day, and eat a strict vegetarian diet including no dairy for 2 weeks. Also, forgo all vitamins and detox herbs that aren’t specifically for the kidneys.
After a long series of flushes, be sure to give yourself a break for about 4-6 months then begin another series of liver flushes. Do them until you get 3 flushes in a row without any stones. If all your symptoms and degenerative illnesses abate, then simply do maintenance flushes 2x a year from then on.
In between liver flushes, to continue the cleansing and tonifying (strengthening) of the liver, eat a liver-supporting diet and take herbs to detox and increase bile flow.
