Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ginger is the most anti nausea substance know. More effective than any pharmaceutical. There are these sticky ginger candies that you can get at any oriental grocery. sucking on them helps tremendously. -Dave A new member's introduction and question I'm a nineteen-year-old boy who got into flushing through the Acne No More program. I've been experimenting with various diets and methods for curing acne, but far and away the most effective has been flushing. What I do is this: ten days of supplementation (malic acid, maca root etc.) with a clean diet (no processed foods etc. which I do all the time anyway) followed by three days of juice fasting (though recently, because I can't live off of cucumber juice and fruit juice exacerbates the acne, I did a chicken-broth fast) culminating in a glorious couple days of flushing. I eat a raw vegetable breakfast and lunch, eat nothing after 1:00 (because I want to get to bed earlier than the normal program specifies) except for lots of detox tea, then I start taking doses of salt. Usually I do epsom salts, but I became scared of their industrial-strength taste and packaging so I switched to a high quality sea salt. After a couple doses of that at intervals I take 1/2 cup of olive oil with the juice of three lemons (organic ones too and most delicious) then lie down immediately with my head up and try to go to sleep. Next day I take a couple more doses of salts at intervals and start eating fruits and vegetables a couple hours after my last dose. I've done this three (maybe four) times now. The first two times I followed the rules exactly: cucumber juice fast, epsom salts, the whole deal. The second time I did clear out a lot of bile crystals and this last time I cleared out a whole bunch of gall bladder stones (but not crystals to speak of). However, along with the increase of success I have had an increasingly serious problem holding down my doses. I had pretty bad nausia after taking my olive oil the previous time, and this last time (just last night actually) I woke up in the middle of the night and starting chucking up what little was left in me. This morning, I entirely lost every bit of my final salt dosage, and let me tell you, I am NOT looking forward to doing that again. Probably the only reason I held down my olive oil for so long was because I sucked liberally on a quart of iced peppermint tea, but that really only staved it off. Due to the three day fast I can assure you there was nothing, I mean nothing, in my tracts to block the passage of the stones, and they come completely painlessly and without effort. So, to get to the point, I got on the internet today to see if there is some solution to my vomiting and nausia, and I found this group! I'm desperately hoping there is some solution to this problem because it seems to get worse with every flush I do, and yet I clearly see that it does me a fantastic amount of good. The only thing I could be doing that might benefit would be enemas, but, whatever they say, there is no way on earth I am going to rape myself with a water tube under any circumstances and for any reason. Is there anything you guys can suggest? Thank you very much for reading, Dietrich p.s. Each of my flushes has been separated by at least a month of resting on a clean diet, so I don't think my increasing nausia is caused by too frequent flushing.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hi , Welcome to the group. Good for you for discovering the amazing benefits of liver flushes at such a young age! It's great to hear how beneficial they've been for you. I second what Dave said about ginger being the best herb for any kind of stomach upset or nausea. You can eat candied ginger or even make a strong tea out of it if you prefer. Also, I wanted to reassure you that as long as the package of epsom salt you're using says it can be taken internally as a laxative, (and as long as you don't have any kind of kidney disease) it's perfectly safe to ingest during a flush. IMO the epsom salt is really a very important part of the protocol that shouldn't be left out. I know it tastes vile and bitter but that's just how it is. I don't like it either, but I take it because it's an integral part of the flush. You can always squeeze a bit of lemon, grapefruit or apple juice into it to mask the bitterness, and some people say refrigerating it so it's cold makes it easier to drink too. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, and it's the magnesium it contains that's the critical ingredient. Magnesium helps to relax and dilate the biliary ducts, and it's this relaxation effect that magnesium has on smooth muscle which helps to expedite the passage of stones and sludge through the ducts easily and painlessly, and into the intestines for elimination. Replacing the espom salt with sea salt really serves no purpose in this respect, since the amount of magnesium sea salt contains is minuscule compared to the amount contained in epsom salt. Drinking dissolved epsom salt also acts as a powerful laxative, creating lots of very loose stools which expedite the passage of gallstones and other expelled gunk out of the bowel quickly. This is important because the longer any passed gallstones hang around inside the digestive tract, the more time the body has to begin digesting and reabsorbing them, which can not only make us feel sick, but also basically defeats the whole purpose of doing a flush in the first place. Here's a link to an article with some good information on the effects magnesium sulfate has on the body when used as part of a liver flush: http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=985355 Maybe someday you'll reconsider taking an enema. Although it's definitely kind of a strange idea to wrap your head around, I can tell you from personal experience that once you get over yourself, doing an enema can actually be quite a pleasant and very refreshing experience. And doing one or two as part of a liver flushing protocol can really do a lot to enhance the overall cleansing effect. But your feelings are understandable...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 This is a real exciting thing to see a young man do this. Now the reason for throwing up may be you are not laying on the right side. I try to stay on my right side all night. I also add to my mix 1/2 c. tomato juice. This seems to help with dose going down and staying down. I learned this several years ago and it works. Try this and see if it is not better. Also do some reflexology on the meridian of the GB and liver and you will be amazed how much better you can eliminate the stones. --- In gallstones , " dcdietrich90 " <dcdietrich90@...> wrote: > > I'm a nineteen-year-old boy who got into flushing through the Acne No More program.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 If I lie on my left side I vomit. Made that mistake once it will never happen again. The entire contents of the flush entered my stomach and up it came. I stay on my right side for at least 2 hours after drinking the flush stuff then I move to my back as its too uncomfortable to sleep on my right side all night.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really didn't pass anything to speak of. I got plenty sick the second time. This third time I just got desperate... Thanks to you all so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I believe that Hulda does advocate the right side. But while I don't remember the source (not Hulda), I remember reading something about right side versus left side. Essentially, the idea is that if you suspect colesteral stones, you should lay on your right side as they float. This will position them closer to the opening. If you suspect calcium stones (those diagnosed with an untrasound), you should lay on your left side. Don't know how valid this approach is. > > From: dcdietrich90 <dcdietrich90@...> > Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question > gallstones > Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 6:22 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. > > > > The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really didn't pass anything to speak of.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 In doing the flushes with the olive oil and lemon, You most definitely have to lay on the right side so the mix empties from the stomach into the liver and up into the GB. IF you lay on the left side then it is going to come back up and you dont want that. The stomach empties to the right, not left. This is the reason. This goes for whether or not it is for the GB or kidney stones. The oil has to empty to the right side. > > > > From: dcdietrich90 dcdietrich90@ > > Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question > > gallstones > > Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 6:22 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. > > > > > > > > The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really didn't pass anything to speak of.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 The part that got me was that the olive oil will actually drain into your liver? I find this hard to believe. I thought that what actually happens is that your body senses the high fat content in you stomach from the olive oil. This causes the GB to contract more than normal expelling the contents including stones and other debris. I did not think that it had anything to do with the olive oil actually entering the liver or GB. Could someone shed some light on this? > > > > > > > > From: dcdietrich90 dcdietrich90@ > > > > Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question > > > > gallstones@gro ups.com > > > > Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 6:22 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back > > asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then > > try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really > > didn't pass anything to speak of.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 When you do a GB flush, you need to pull the knees up to the chest to force the oil mix out of the stomach into the liver area. I found this web site with info on how this all works. I will paste some of it here and you can read the rest on the site. Your Digestive System and How It Works The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract—a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus—and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food (see figure). Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—also called the colon—rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two " solid " digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system. [Top <http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/yrdd/#top> ] Why is digestion important? When you eat foods—such as bread, meat, and vegetables—they are not in a form that the body can use as nourishment. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy. [Top <http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/yrdd/#top> ] How is food digested? Digestion involves mixing food with digestive juices, moving it through the digestive tract, and breaking down large molecules of food into smaller molecules. Digestion begins in the mouth, when you chew and swallow, and is completed in the small intestine. Movement of Food Through the System The large, hollow organs of the digestive tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement of organ walls can propel food and liquid through the system and also can mix the contents within each organ. Food moves from one organ to the next through muscle action called peristalsis. Peristalsis looks like an ocean wave traveling through the muscle. The muscle of the organ contracts to create a narrowing and then propels the narrowed portion slowly down the length of the organ. These waves of narrowing push the food and fluid in front of them through each hollow organ. The first major muscle movement occurs when food or liquid is swallowed. Although you are able to start swallowing by choice, once the swallow begins, it becomes involuntary and proceeds under the control of the nerves. Swallowed food is pushed into the esophagus, which connects the throat above with the stomach below. At the junction of the esophagus and stomach, there is a ringlike muscle, called the lower esophageal sphincter, closing the passage between the two organs. As food approaches the closed sphincter, the sphincter relaxes and allows the food to pass through to the stomach. The stomach has three mechanical tasks. First, it stores the swallowed food and liquid. To do this, the muscle of the upper part of the stomach relaxes to accept large volumes of swallowed material. The second job is to mix up the food, liquid, and digestive juice produced by the stomach. The lower part of the stomach mixes these materials by its muscle action. The third task of the stomach is to empty its contents slowly into the small intestine. Several factors affect emptying of the stomach, including the kind of food and the degree of muscle action of the emptying stomach and the small intestine. Carbohydrates, for example, spend the least amount of time in the stomach, while protein stays in the stomach longer, and fats the longest. As the food dissolves into the juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, the contents of the intestine are mixed and pushed forward to allow further digestion. Finally, the digested nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls and transported throughout the body. The waste products of this process include undigested parts of the food, known as fiber, and older cells that have been shed from the mucosa. These materials are pushed into the colon, where they remain until the feces are expelled by a bowel movement. Production of Digestive Juices The digestive glands that act first are in the mouth—the salivary glands. Saliva produced by these glands contains an enzyme that begins to digest the starch from food into smaller molecules. An enzyme is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions in the body. The next set of digestive glands is in the stomach lining. They produce stomach acid and an enzyme that digests protein. A thick mucus layer coats the mucosa and helps keep the acidic digestive juice from dissolving the tissue of the stomach itself. In most people, the stomach mucosa is able to resist the juice, although food and other tissues of the body cannot. After the stomach empties the food and juice mixture into the small intestine, the juices of two other digestive organs mix with the food. One of these organs, the pancreas, produces a juice that contains a wide array of enzymes to break down the carbohydrate, fat, and protein in food. Other enzymes that are active in the process come from glands in the wall of the intestine. The second organ, the liver, produces yet another digestive juice—bile. Bile is stored between meals in the gallbladder. At mealtime, it is squeezed out of the gallbladder, through the bile ducts, and into the intestine to mix with the fat in food. The bile acids dissolve fat into the watery contents of the intestine, much like detergents that dissolve grease from a frying pan. After fat is dissolved, it is digested by enzymes from the pancreas and the lining of the intestine. Absorption and Transport of Nutrients Most digested molecules of food, as well as water and minerals, are absorbed through the small intestine. The mucosa of the small intestine contains many folds that are covered with tiny fingerlike projections called villi. In turn, the villi are covered with microscopic projections called microvilli. These structures create a vast surface area through which nutrients can be absorbed. Specialized cells allow absorbed materials to cross the mucosa into the blood, where they are carried off in the bloodstream to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. This part of the process varies with different types of nutrients. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/yrdd/ > > > > > > > > > > > > From: dcdietrich90 dcdietrich90@ > > > > > > Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question > > > > > > gallstones@gro ups.com > > > > > > Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 6:22 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back > > > > asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then > > > > try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really > > > > didn't pass anything to speak of.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 These are definitely NOT different " medical theories " . We are just trying to get a consistant " understanding " of what transpires during a flush. If someone comes along and says that breaking your toe results in a faulty appendix, that is not a medical theory. That is just a lack of understanding. An extreme example, but you get my point. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > From: dcdietrich90 dcdietrich90@ > > > > > > > > Subject: Re: A new member's introduction and question > > > > > > > > gallstones@gro ups.com > > > > > > > > Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 6:22 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My instructions were: suck the muck, get down on your back > > > > > > asap with the head up and don't move for at least thirty minutes, then > > > > > > try to sleep on the left side with the right arm pulled up to the chest. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The reason I probably did so well the first time was that I really > > > > > > didn't pass anything to speak of.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Ok here is a web site info that explains it. THE SIMPLE FLUSH At bedtime, on an empty stomach, mix and drink one-half cup or more of olive oil (about 4-6 oz.) with the same amount of grapefruit juice. Don't sip -- chug it down. Go right to bed and lay on your right side with your right knee tucked up as far as you can get it. The olive oil will flow up the common bile duct into the liver and the gall bladder and release gall stones that have been stuck there. The gall stones are mostly semi- hardened bile, dark green in color, of sizes from tiny to a half-inch in diameter or so -- sometimes called sludge. They can be squished, and will melt if left at room temperature. If your liver and gall bladder were congested with this sludge and had not been functioning properly, the olive oil will squirt out of you the next morning, undigested, and very likely will flush out any number of these gall stones. The next time you do this flush, your liver and gall bladder should be working quite a bit better, and the olive oil will be digested into a semisolid substance looking somewhat like dumplings. This occurrence demonstrates that the treatment was effective. Repeat the flush, perhaps once a week on a Friday or Saturday night (when you aren't planning to do anything the next morning), until no more green gunk comes out. http://www.fungusfocus.com/html/simple_liver_gall_bladder_fl.htm you can read the rest of the story there > > Would love to hear a description of the process whereby bringing the knees to the chest or lying on the right side " forces the olive oil mixture out of the stomach and into the liver area " . The only connection between the liver and the alimentary canal is through the common bile duct. The gallbladder is an " empty " sack, and draws ( like a pipette) some of the bile (again, not only not all, but only a portion of) up into itself where it is then concentrated for the purpose of the emulsification of fats. This is one of and a very important aspect of bile. Of course the other aspect is the elimination of metabolic and potentially " toxic " environmental wastes that have been filtered out by the liver. The gallbladder is not involved in this aspect and to the contrary would rather not be subjected to any of it. It's sole (soul) purpose is to concentrate and reserve a quantity of bile for when as Fred said, fats are consumed and then it constricts to supply a quantity of bile for the digestive process. The liver is not an " empty " organ. It's purpose is not to draw oils up through the common bile duct. Fats are essential for liver function but they must go through the digestive and assimilative processes first. They are then delivered to the liver through the bloodstream not the common bile duct. It is a one way deal. Down and out. This system is not a drawing. It is a twisty twirly bag of guts... This is like the description of releasing a gallbladder full of " stones " and then having a bunch more drop down from the liver into the gallbladder. Not. Look at the physiology. This would require the " stones " being drawn up through the gallbladder bile duct from the common duct. Not going to happen. There are definitely liver stones and they can be expelled by the liver but would travel directly through the common bile duct into the small intestine. They are not going to take an extremely (damn near impossible) difficult field trip up the gallbladder duct for the fun of it.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Most of the info in this is contrary to the recognized experts, Hulda and s Moritz. Based on what I know, I would not follow this protocol. This person may have been mixing a little happy juice in their olive oil when they wrote this (lol). And if they have a questionable protocol, it is easy to see why they have a questionable understanding of the physiology of this. > > > > Would love to hear a description of the process whereby bringing the > knees to the chest or lying on the right side " forces the olive oil > mixture out of the stomach and into the liver area " .

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 You are right folks, I was only telling what I have always been told and I have done lots and lots of GB cleanses. I was a very sick lady at one time and almost died but with the help of family and friends I got well. I want to say that the use of colonics is a major help in all these things too. I know the Epsom salt is mainly for the clearing of the bowels. I think it is the best for this purpose. Not something to be used regularly but with a GB cleanse. We are all here to learn from one another. I am not closed minded. Thank you for the correct information Elan and Dave.

However in my experience, it's quite possible that in some cases those 4 doses are not sufficient to completely clear the digestive tract of all its contents. This means that the epsom salt may not totally clear the way for the stones and other crud that are released into the intestines after the olive oil mixture is drunk. Whether or not the bowel is effectively cleared by the ES really depends on the quantity of food that's already in the gut, in the process of being digested, prior to starting the flush. My feeling is that for the majority of people the gut is not completely cleared by the epsom salt. This may be one of the reasons why some people experience nausea or vomiting during a flush. If there's still undigested food in the intestines, this can slow the transit of any toxin-laden stones, congealed bile or sludge released into the digestive tract by the flush, allowing time for this toxic waste to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream, which can make us feel sick. This is why it's so important to do an enema or two the afternoon of the flush, prior to taking the first dose of epsom salt, and also why it's a good idea to do another enema a day or two after. Doing coffee enemas can be especially beneficial in conjunction with doing a flush, as they stimulate the liver to produce and excrete even more bile, thereby encouraging the release of even more toxicity. Personally, I've done flushes where I've taken Homozon (another form of magnesium - Mg oxide - which liquefies stools causing numerous evacuations) the night before and the morning of the flush. I only consumed either some juice or a couple of pieces of fruit the morning of the flush and then fasted the rest of the day. When I've done flushes this way, believe me, I spent a lot of time back and forth to the loo and could tell that my bowels were totally clear by bedtime/olive oil mixture time. Other times when I skipped the Homozon it was evident to me that there was still undigested food in my system by the time I took the OO mixture and went to bed. Still other times I have done an enema or two the afternoon of the flush which were very productive. All of this has led me to believe that there's often more undigested food inside us than we might think when we're preparing for a flush, and that the more we can do to purge our bowels beforehand, (and afterward) the more effective the flush will be. So while drinking the ES can be somewhat helpful for bowel clearing, I would agree with you, Judy, that it's best not to rely completely on the ES to do this, and that using other methods to cleanse the digestive tract both before and after a flush is a very good idea.
