Liver & GB Flush 8 – Prep – April 16th – 2009
I have begun my prep for this coming weekend’s Liver & GB Flush. I switched back to using the Organic Apple Juice to prepare this week instead of the Malic Acid tablets. I don’t think the Malic Acid tablets worked for me. I’m not too sure if it was because I used the Malic Acid tablets last time that the Flush wasn’t successful but it’s one variable that was different from the other Flushes and they were more successful.
I have been doing a Parasite Cleanse since I got back from India. I’m on the third round. I did 10 Days on and 5 Days off with a mixture of herbs from the Homeopathic Pharmacy. I switched this round to a product called ParaGone, which is a Parasite Cleansing Kit from Whole Foods. It has similar herbs in it that I was taking previously but also has some that are different. I read an interesting post online by somebody who has been doing Parasite Cleansing for years and they said it’s important to mix it up because the Parasites will adapt and grow stronger and some herbs help to kill some Parasites but have little or no effect on others. I feel very strange on the Cleanse. I’m experiencing some bloating and some minor discomfort. I don’t think it’s anything that is too extreme and so I’m going to continue with the Cleanse. I’m taking Triphala as well to help keep my B.M.’s regular. The Parasite Cleansing is causing me to be a little more constipated than usual. I added some fresh chopped garlic to the mix as well. I took about 4 Cloves two nights ago and 5 Cloves the night before that.
I’ve had weird night sweats and some Liver pain over the last few days. I don’t know if this is because of the Parasite Cleanse or because of Gallstones. My B.M.’s are very dark brown. There is what looks like it could be small white worm like things in the B.M. but I’m not too sure. It could be something else?
This week, in addition to all of the apple juice, I am taking a Carrot, Celery & Beet Juice once a day, leading up to the Flush on Saturday. Let’s hope this Flush is more of a success than the last one.
UPDATE:
It’s April 19th. I did the Liver and Gallbladder Flush last night. I fasted all day yesterday and I had a surprising amount of energy until late into the evening. I prepped all last week and was ready for the Flush. I took the Flush drink around 11pm. I was late taking my first round of Epsom Salts and this pushed everything back an hour.
I went to sleep last night almost immediately after taking the Flush drink. I think I have been so tired and stressed out from a busy and stressful week that I was exhausted. I kept thinking to myself as I lay down, “let go…let go…just let it go…”.
I woke up this morning around 3:30am and was up for about an hour to an hour and a half before I went back to sleep. I slept until a few minutes ago. It’s 7:00am right now. I just had my third dose of the Epsom salts. The Epsom salts is so hard to take. Each time I finish I am disgusted and almost vomit. I thought around 4am last night I would throw up. I felt very nauseous. I was surprised at how much sleep I did get last night though. I actually feel somewhat rested this morning. The Flush drink is getting harder and harder to take. I almost threw up immediately after drinking it down last night. I wonder how many more of these I will have to do before I go on a maintenance of once every six months?
I didn’t have a B.M. last night. I hope that this doesn’t have a negative impact on whether or not stones were able to move or not. I had a large B.M. early in the day and nothing to eat that would’ve been blocking the stones. I’m crossing my fingers. I hope this is a successful Flush!
UPDATE:
It’s 11am. I had a bowl of granola a moment ago and some tea. I haven’t had a B.M. yet this morning. I feel very bloated. I tried some light stretching but it hasn’t moved things along. I’m going to take another glass of water in a moment and maybe have some carrot juice.
UPDATE:
It’s 1:15pm. I just had my first B.M. of the day. I have been feeling so bloated up to this point. The B.M. was mostly a dark oily liquid and some fecal matter. I didn’t notice anything that looked like a stone but there were a few weird looking things. I wondered if they might be parasites of some kind but it was hard to tell.
UPDATE:
It’s 1:20pm. I just had another B.M. There were five small stones and some green things that I don’t think were actually stones but might be the oil and bile reacting together. There was also a whole bunch of undigested nuts or something that looks like undigested nuts! I haven’t eaten nuts in over a week. Gross! Lots of dark brown water. Very dark liquid.
UPDATE:
It’s 1:25pm. I just had another B.M. Lots of dark brown liquid. No stones. Lots of undigested nut things. Weird!
UPDATE:
It’s 8:41pm. I had a B.M. at 5:30pm. A few stones. Lots of liquid. I had another one at 6:00pm. A lot of liquid and no stones. I just had a small B.M. with some liquid and a small piece of feces that looked like a nest of worms or something. Really gross. I don’t know exactly what it was that just came out of me. Weird!
UPDATE:
It’s Monday, the day after the cleanse. I feel great! I had a wonderful sleep last night. I don’t know if it is due to the stagnation in the Liver, Parasites, or ?? that has been causing me to have trouble sleeping lately. Tons of energy today. My eyesight is incredible. It’s like somebody just gave me glasses. Amazing!
I had a B.M. this morning that was very soft and dark brown. No stones but it looks like I am starting to get back to regular digestion. I had another B.M. a moment ago. It’s still early. I just finished teaching a yoga class and it’s almost 10am right now. This second B.M. was also very soft but almost solid. Digestion is returning to normal.
I think I am going to spend the next three months Parasite Cleansing, Kidney Cleansing, Candida Cleansing and helping to support my Liver with more healthy green juices and whole food supplements. I will wait three months before the next Liver Flush.
To date I have now passed 481 stones. This past Flush I also passed some things that may or may not have been stones. They looked like nuts but I don’t remember eating anything that looked like them leading up to the Flush. Very Weird.
The majority of the stones that I passed since I began Flushing have ranged between the size of a small marble and a large grain of rice. They were black with a dark green hue to them. When I dissected a few of them they had an emerald green color on the inside. They were hard and rough looking. There were several that were as large as a quarter and at least four that were much larger than a quarter and looked like they were almost the size of a small golf ball. The largest of these stones, which was passed in one of my earliest Flushes had a small vein running through it and on it. Gross! I’ve read accounts online that these Flushes are a hoax and the things being passed aren’t stones at all and I don’t believe that the people writing these accounts have ever done a Liver Flush. Sometimes they assert that these “stones” that are passed are created when the bile comes into contact with the olive oil. Each Flush there are always a few green blobs that come out that I think are the result of this reaction. These are not the actual stones. I have not counted these as stones in my experience so far. I consulted my Doctor, who does not recommend the Liver Flushes to her clients and she confirmed that what I had passed were in fact Gallstones. She is now reading the book, “The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush”, which I recommended she check out.
I hope you’ve found this blog helpful so far. Good luck! Maybe this is the right thing for you and maybe it is not. This has been my experience so far. I’ll keep you posted with my continued cleansing and flushing experiences. More to come!
