Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Flushes work without epsom salts. I have done 3 flushes, just with olive oil and lemon juice. One flush was a 9 day procedure with small amounts of each daily. The final day was the big does and I just couldn't stand the thought of drinking that much with lemon juice. I used grapefruit juice and it went down a lot easier. Amber I want to flush again, but it's not going to work if I keep throwing up the lemon and oil mixture! Any suggestions? Beth .

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Is there a very big risk of the stones getting stuck and having pain if you don't use Epsom salt? I suppose I could always drink the Epsom salt in the morning to help with any stones that might have been stuck? Did you not eat any fat for 9 days?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 The flushes have been specifically designed to increase chances of success. To stimulate contraction of the gallbladder and large amounts of bile release without trying to relax the common bile duct is a bit risky to say the least. To then take magnesium afterwards to relax the duct but not stimulate the flush may have no effect. -Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Beth Dryden<mailto:beth@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 8:12 PM Subject: RE: Re: Epsom salts making me nauseous Is there a very big risk of the stones getting stuck and having pain if you don't use Epsom salt?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 The purpose of the flush is to SOFTEN the stones so that they are able to pass. When I had my one and only attack (March 12, 2006), I studied about it and did 3 flushes, under the direction of my nutritionist. She never mentioned Epsom salt and I never heard about it until I joined this group. Personally I can't bring myself to use it and never found it necessary. I passed hundreds of stones and some were 3/4 of an inch. If you want info on the flushes I did, write me personally and I'll see if I can find it again. No, I did not stop eating fat for 9 days. I use olive oil in salads and in cooking, also coconut oil in cooking. Amber Is there a very big risk of the stones getting stuck and having pain if you don't use Epsom salt?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I thought the purpose of the malic acid (either in apple juice or as a supplement) was to soften the stones. The purpose of the olive oil is to cause the gallbladder to contract. Am I wrong on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 You are correct within the scope of a " flush " but the olive oil will also help to dilute the bile a bit when taken regularly. -Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: fjnie1234<mailto:Fred.Niehaus@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 7:06 AM Subject: Re: Epsom salts making me nauseous I thought the purpose of the malic acid (either in apple juice or as a supplement) was to soften the stones.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 As you will hear from others flushes work without epsom salts - however the salts help dilate and prevent stones from lodging- you may want to substitute grapefruit juice- fresh squeezed is the best- to help with the nausea- good luck On Apr 3, 2008, at 4:10 PM, Beth Dryden wrote: > Hello, I have done 5 liver/gallbladder flushes using the epsom salt, > lemon > and olive oil.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 From Hulda s's website, " You can't clean a liver with parasites living in it. You won't get many stones, and you will feel quite sick. ...complete the parasite killing program before attempting a liver cleanse " . I see two questions here: 1) Is the parasite cleanse really necessary to get an effective liver cleanse? 2) Does the lack of a parasite cleanse cause nausia when doing a liver cleanse? Thoughts on this??? --- In gallstones , Battaglia <fbattaglia@...> wrote: > > As you will hear from others flushes work without epsom salts - > however the salts help dilate and prevent stones from lodging- you > may want to substitute grapefruit juice- fresh squeezed is the best- > to help with the nausea- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
