Dear " Kamploops " ,

Really enjoyed your email - thanks for sharing your " gently does it " wisdom.

Will always offers great insight, too, and so true that the " too much, too

late " rule of thumb can precipitate a whole new set of problems all their own,

especially in the weak and elderly.

One question for you...you said your Mom's edema problem occurred " several

weeks " after the flush she did. What was it that helped you to make the

connection to the actual flush? Is it possible that her condition was something

isolated and unrelated to her flush? I'm very interested in the time lapse she

experienced, because if her liver was in such poor shape before her flush,

wouldn't it have created the edema problem almost immediately? I'm not a

medical

person, so really just wondering why it would have taken so long for these acute

symptoms to have occurred. Thanks!

Blessings, n

Perhaps you could give us more information so people would be more

aware of what would make them more likely to be at the same health

risks as your mother.

How old was your mother when she did the flush? Which protocol did

she follow? How long did she prepare ahead of time? What information

had she read to prepare herself? Had she had any previous liver

problems? What was her gallbladder/gallstone history? What other

complications does she have -- is she diabetic, severely overweight,

partially crippled, recovering from cancer, smoker, alcoholic,

anemic, asthmatic, or suffering from an impaired immune system? Did

she have a goiter or other signs that her thyroid wasn't functioning

properly? Had she had a stroke or heart attack? Did she have fully

functioning lungs, kidneys, stomach, intestines, pancreas, and liver

prior to this difficulty. I don't want to imply that your mother has

any of these problems, I'm just trying to point out that you didn't

give us much to go on except that she's your mother and she did a

flush and a couple weeks later had liver problems.

Your warning is valid, but it's only as valid as the information you

give us so that people can make a more informed assessment of

whether they would be in the same danger you feel your mother was.

> Hi,

> My mom did the Olive oil flush and it nearly ruined her liver.

Many stones came out which was good but a few weeks later she got

edema and her body swelled with water and nobody could help her.

another person here too but when they posted a question, nobody

answered them.

Large amounts of any oil seen to shock the liver and some people get

problems later. My mother's liver nearly collapsed and it was touch

and go for awhile. I am a strong believer in alternative medicine

and it still saved my mother's life, thanks to a great naturalpath

in my city, but I feel all sides should be revealed so if one of you

have the same problem where your liver gets shocked that you know

you are not alone.

her fluids any longer and she swelled up for months to the point

where she was bed ridden and could not walk anymore.

> She is much better now and but it was a long drawn out battle for

her, and if I did it next time I would have done it more cautiously

with some of the herbs first to crush her stones and flush them

slowly. There is an even better way. Just drink 1 glass of organic

apple juice every morning and night 30 minutes before food for 3

months and the malic acid in the juice will disolve all the stones

in your body without any trauma or side effects.

which has messed up many people. If any one reads her book " The

cure for all Diseases " they will realize that she is somewhat

paranoid and forgets that the human body can take many things in

moderation and heal itself. If it was up to her we would all have

to live in a bubble with no bacteria what so ever in order to cure

ourselves.
