Avoiding Getting Sick

[Guest guest]

Eliza,

I would agree with the advice that and others gave you. Every

flush is different and you never really know when you'll get sick(throw up) or

you'll feel great. On several occasions I ended up throwing up after I had done

quite a few flushes already and I didn't expect it to happen at all. And your

first

flush was certainly better than my first couple, for sure! On my second flush I

felt so bad and my heart was beating so rapidly--soon I threw up over and

over again. But it does get better and easier over time if you keep with it and

be kind to yourself. based on my experience, I can give you a few tips for not

having that sick feeling:

--Drink plent of water early on but no water 2 hours before the flush. Try to do

you last epsom salts 2 hours prior to drinking the oil so that it has time to

leave

your stomach.

--Although almost every version of this procedure recommends drinking the

oil around 10pm when the gallbladder meridian is at its peak, I have played

around with all different times and found the early afternoon works best for

me. Your digestion is much stronger at this time and you have time to process

the oil and pass the stones before you go to bed, so your sleep is not messed

up. The times where I did the flush very late, I didn't sleep well, felt

horrible in

the morning and took virtually the entire next day to pass all of the stones

out.

I have spoken to Dr. Jubb about the timing before and he recommends

doing it in the afternoon also--it seems to be just as effective, if not more,

and

is also more pleasant overall.

--Another advantage of doing it in the afternoon is that you have time to do

some auxiliary measures that are quite helpful, like taking enzymes, doing a

castor oil pack or a coffee enema. If you just drink the oil and go to sleep

then

it's not really easy to do any of these things.

-- gave excellent advice about trying to wait out the feeling of having

to throw up--although I understand that sometimes it is just too strong. I was

lucky enough on the times that I did get sick, that it happened typically 3-4

hours after I drank the oil. If you can at least go this long without throwing

up,

most of the stones will already have made it into you intestinal tract and

losing

the oil won't really matter.

--The best thing to prevent nausea later on in the evening is enzymes and I

highly recommend them. I usually begin taking them 3-4 hours after the oil

and feel so much better very quickly. Choose either a pure lipase or one that

is very high in lipase to break down the oil effectively.

--Understand that this whole process is like riding a roller coaster with lots

of

highs and lows. There will be moments where you feel absolutely amazing

and others where you feel totally horrible. Understanding this helps to get

through the awful feelings with more grace and detachment.

--Lastly, the most important thing I can recommend sounds kind of new agey

but has helped me so much you wouldn't believe it. It is to put yourself and

your energy in harmony with the oil RIGHT BEFORE YOU DRINK IT. Most of

the times I got sick or had bad nausea were when I drank the oil as quickly as

possible, while cursing it all the way down. But when you have this mindset,

it's easy to understand how your body might interpret the oil as poison and

violently expel it the first chance it gets. What I usually do is hold each cup

of

the juice and oil in each hand and try to feel my energy harmonizing with the

frequency of the oil and juice. I imagine myself in the future--happy, healthy

and in love with life--and I see the oil in my hands as playing a very important

role in getting me that place. I thank the oil for helping me to reach my goals

and helping to eliminate materials in my body that are not in line with who I

really am. When I am totally at peace with the oil, then I begin to gently sip

each cup until my body tells me to stop. Sometimes your body will give you

signals that it wants more or less than what you had prepared and it's good to

listen to it. Anyway, this sounds crazy but it is more powerful that you can

imagine--most people drink the oil with feelings of discomfort and resentment

and it has an effect. I believe the ones who succeed in this long-term are

those who really come to enjoy and appreciate this procedure and the many

benefits it has to offer.

With all that said, I think you did a gret job for your first one and I would

encourage you to keep at it. I read a quote just the other day that said,

" Anything that's worth trying once is worth trying at least ten times " and I

think

it's very fitting for flushing. Over time you will become cleaner and more

professional in the process and it will very easy and enjoyable--just like going

into the sauna or some other form of therapy. Good luck!
