Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Gail, I had the same problem and I could not keep it down. I am going to try this other method I have heard of/ take beets and boil them and eat the leaves all day. Don't eat too much other than beet leaves. than take a hot bath,as hot as you can take. This dilates the gall bile. Sleep on right side. Eat a large portion of plain,boiled,unseasoned beet leaves and nothing else much that day. I have not tried it yet but I have heard it works great.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Hi Gail, I have done two of these flushes. I plan to do another one next week. The first time I got about 1,000 stones out. The second time maybe 200 The Epsom salt water is VERY bitter and needs to be slammed down before you get a chance to taste it! Make sure it is really, really cold! It is only 3/4 cup, I am able to slam that down pretty fast, it has a nasty after bite, but I am able to do it. My husband did it this last weekend and got rid of a lot of stones too. He was pretty wimpy about it too. The only reason he didn't wimp out on it was because I had done it a second time. He said it must have helped or there was no way I would have put myself through it for a second time. The benefits to me have been -- allergies almost completely gone. No sniffing, itchy eyes and my skin allergies have cleared up too. I am now losing that last 15 pounds that have been giving me fits for a really long time. The cellulite that was in my legs (not bad, but I didn't like having it.) is leaving FINALLY! These are all pretty vain reasons for doing the cleanse, but they are my reasons. I am in pretty good health because I am a believer in prevention and have led a very preventative and healthy lifestyle. This flush has been a wonderful addition to my cleansing efforts. I guess what I am saying, is, just decide if you want the benefits and how bad do you want them, then SLAM that nasty tasting stuff down. It is only 3/4 of a cup after all. I realize this is easier said than done.

You can also freeze your tastebuds if you want. Just keep ice in you moth long enough to make everthing numb. Why are you taken it at 2pm? Her instructions say not to eat after 2pm but start your first salt drink at 6pm Hope this helps Christel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 If you can't get it down (I have trouble getting it all down too as well), then you can substitute magnesium citrate instead of epsom salts. Magnesium citrate is available at your local drugstore and looks like a bottle of cough cyrup. It tastes like something between soda pop and cough medicine. I've had good results while taking magnesium citrate instead of epsom salts.... > Hi All, > Maybe someone can help me out with this one. > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 About 60. But if you whir it in a blender it reduces the size of the crystals and you can get more E. salt in a cap and have less caps. But, at 60 it is about 15 caps per serving. Two servings in p.m. and then two more servings in a.m. Donna -----Original Message-----Hey that sounds like a great idea! How many capsules do you think you'd need?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 I didn't take anything. Magnesium citrate is a liquid (usually carbonated). I take half of the bottle at first, then the rest of the bottle later on. I get more stones out with the magnesium citrate than with the Epsom salts simply because of the fact that I can't seem to get the full dosage of epsom salts down since it tastes so terrible. I prefer the lemon flavored citrate as the cherry flavored one tastes too much like cough medicine (though it should vary between people). > In a message dated 5/17/2001 2:49:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > zenalpha@y... writes: > > > > I've had good results while taking > > magnesium citrate instead of epsom salts.... > > > > What else do you take with the magnesium citrate? > > > > > co-moderator of Sacred Sisters Circle > <A HREF= " SacredSistersCircle " >SacredSisters Circle</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 I am still fairly backed up, but I have help from hot lemon water in the morning and Triphala at night. Next time I do the cleanse I'll start on laxatives right away. I'd recommend that for anyone with a history of chronic constipation. Thanks for asking.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Liz. What herbal laxative did you use and at what time during the liver flush "recipe" did you take it? Before the Grapefruit juice-olive oil cocktail? betsy I have chronic constipation and I added a herbal laxative along with the liver flush procedure. It was a must for me and I got very good results.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 It's much better to use fresh squeezed juice because it will blend together better with the oil to be taken at the same time.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 Hi Dale. I did use fresh squeezed juice with the oil and it tasted great. I used just a few teaspoons of Newman's Lemonade 2 hours before the oil in the Epsom salt water drink to help get it past the tastebuds and it did help. ---------------------Betsy Zajkobetsy@...

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 Wow. I guess my liver flush needed some help but I didn't know it. I passed BM's at 9 or 10 in the morning of the second day (after the fourth Epsom salt dose). I will try senna next time to try to get a bowel the first day. This e-group is SO helpful.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 I use senna-25 mg. First I followed the liver flush and it said that after taking the Epsom salts you will get a bowel movement in 1 hour. I didn't. So that is when I took my laxative. I kept an eye on the next day but was ok. However if I didn't move the next day I certainly would have popped another one. The idea is to let all this stuff leave your system. I had to force my system to work properly. Note: I was the one who posted a complaint some months back that now taking laxatives wasn't working. Since I used Homozon and dislodged that 12 inch clump of mucus, me taking my 1 laxative now works for me. I don't always have to wait until the next day to get a movement. LIZ D Re: liver flush Liz.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Also what is interesting is that sometimes when I take the Homozon. I pass these floating stones also. Didn't take olive oil with it. So I know it is not congealed olive oil. LIZ D --- rabbitbrain@... bUcKsNdOeS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
