Re: Epsom salts and new on the list

[Guest guest]

My bag of epsom salts says " Uses: for relief of occasional

constipation " and then it gets into the amounts to drink below that. It

also has in large lettering on the front " Saline Laxative " .

Perhaps your package of epsoms just doesn't have the same information on

it. I've been drinking it for liver cleanses every 2 weeks for over a

year, and have not noticed a problem. It's just a temporary use, not

something you'd do all the time.

Ornithine isn't a sleeping pill. It's an amino acid which naturally

occurs in the body. I take 8 of them 500 mg each, with each cleanse to

help me sleep. Again, no problems. Been taking them every 2 weeks for

about 1 1/2 years.

I would suggest though that the whipping cream cleanse looks like it's

difficult to do for someone who has a sluggish gallbladder. It calls

for 3/4 cup of oil. I found that a cup of oil almost made me vomit

immediately. Also, consuming heavy cream and then all that oil would

make me feel sick really sick. I remember when I first started

cleansing, I felt nauseous all night long with just 1/2 cup of oil, but

the results are worth it. I do recommend sleeping with 2 pillows raised

up as it will ease the nausea.

Just my 2 cents worth, but I think most people have best results with

Dr. s version. Plus, the stones come out all in one day and you

can see them so you can count them. You'll want to count the number

approximately, as the gallbladder can hold thousands of them. Dr.

said 2,000 stones, though I remember seeing even a higher number

somewhere else! I can say that the cleansing takes diligence, and

commitment to doing it every 2 weeks, otherwise you will suffer all that

much longer.

The epsom salts are really necessary as part of the cleanse because it

opens up the bile ducts and the stones just get pooped out easily, and

painless. It's because it's a laxative that you can't help but go to

the bathroom and then the stones come right out. Also, drinking the

epsoms with warm water instead of ice cold, might be really difficult to

get down since the taste of it even when ice cold leaves an aftertaste.

Namaste,

Dear ,

Since you've done so many liver flushes, have you noticed a decrease in number

of stones released? If so, has it been a significant change? Any other changes

you've noticed?

Blessings,

M.

Indigestion after eating fat has decreased to a great degree. I

hesitated adding flax oil to my diet, and only did so about 3 months

ago. Initially I had tried it prior to that and had trouble digesting

it. Same thing with digesting fish or even no fat tofu burgers because

they are made from protein. I continued eating protein for lunch anyway

and have noticed in the last few months that the indigestion has

lessened to a great degree.

Like many of you here, I started cleansing after suffering a few

gallbladder attacks, ugh, talk about pain! I did Reiki and it helped

get rid of the pain.

I'm even feeling hunger pains in the afternoon lately more and more,

which is a good sign. For those of you who know what I'm saying, you

get a fullness that just doesn't go away even hours later.

I think some of the food allergies are slowing disappearing. My skin

used to break out immediately after eating certain foods.

Some of the best things we can do is to take food enzyme capsules with

each meal and any time you take vitamins. The enzymes help you digest

your food and help with elimination. A good friend of mine is a colon

hydrotherapist who really encourages enzymes. As we age, we have less

and less enzymes produced in our bodies and we need help in the

digestive process, and enzymes do just that.

What is driving me to cleanse so often and regularly is insomnia. After

much research and trying every product out there and nothing working,

I've found that it's indigestion in the middle of the night which is the

cause of the insomnia. I generally toss and turn, waking up every 2

hours all night, every night for the last few years. About all I can do

for now is Reiki on my head and use large magnets on my liver/stomach

areas while trying to fall back asleep.

I hope that eventually I'll be able to report a good nights sleep!

Can you believe it, I ate several pieces of cake, mostly the sweet

icing, and this was in January? Sort of self defeating, because it

causes stones! I made myself give up the jelly beans in my boss's

office though! I bought a huge container of no fat pretzels for the

office to snack on in between meals instead of sugar and that helps

tremendously.

Namaste,
