Re: Re: Going to do First Flush Monday (Oh My!)

[Guest guest]

Speaking of hypoglycycimia....I used to think that I was, until I forced

myself OFF sugar. I quit sugar cold turkey (and it was painful!)--and now I

don't have any of the problems that I used to have (with always NEEDING

sugar, and feeling spacy and dizzy without it, and getting extrememly tired

in the afternoon). Trust me, it was HARD, but it was worth it. Sugar now

gives me a massive headache. Some doctors believe that hypoglycycmia is just

an addiction to sugar, and well, that's what I have found!

Hi Suzanne,

You were right! I thought I was doing ok with the no liquids or food but by the

time I went to sleep I was severely spaced out and woke up in pain and cramping

all over. No stones so far either! I will have to wait awhile and look at the

other types of flushes that don't require fasting. The shoulder pains that I've

had since last June are worse today. I just finished the last of the salts and

hope by tomorrow for some relief even if I never do see green stones.

I think the anxiety was more along the lines of remembering what I went though

restricting food intake in my life and finally learning that I have to eat to

keep from debilitating drops in energy and concentration rather than being

perfect, although I was worried by the wording on the site that if I wasn't

laying down immediately then I'd get no stones, so I was down flat within

seconds of drinking the oil. Can't see where I did anything wrong either. I

was thinking I hope I'm not one of those who gets very ill or more painful

cramps for not doing the parasite cleanse first. So, I came though that fear

ok. LOL

Hello,

A few thoughts on your post follow.

Being hypoglycycimic means you must keep your sugar levels up. I'm

also hypo G and found that the flush was too muchh of a fast for

me. I drank lots of liquid (water or herbal tea) in between the

epsom salt drinks throughout the day and used grapefruit juice for

both taste and to keep my sugar levels elevated. This made a big

difference for me feeling not so " spaced Out " while flushing.

>I believe this will work for the pains, indigestion and skin, etc.>

The flush is a good system cleanse and gave me more energy after

each flush.

I never used any sleep enhancer (too sensative to any type of drug)

and just used mind over matter to calm myself to sleep.

Sounds like we have a perfectionist here - sorry, but I can

identify, because I am the same way. To help with the anxiety of

not doing the flush in the correct order/ times, etc. I printed out

the complete flush and crossed off every item as it was done. I

also prepared all needed materials for the whole flush in advance so

that there would be no searching. It was like doing a science

experiment or following a brand new recipe.

> Do I have to lie on my back or can I turn to my right side at some

point?>

There are many opinions on the lying position. I prefer to lie on

my right side for most of my sleep. - lying on my back puts pressure

on my throat. My opinion is: the flush uses a muscular action of

pressing out the stones. - like sneezing. It'll come out if it's

the right time in your flushing regimin.

Apples are great for softing and loosening things up. I had my best

flush when my breakfast the morning of the flush was granola blended

into a smotie with apple sauce. Bananas will firm up your BM's-

which is NOT what you want in the preflush state. Why not take

oranges/juice for the potassium?

Good health wishes,
