May I introduce myself as a newbie/immature flusher looking for some mature/sensible advice from flushing veterans (please!)... I'm on approximately my 20th flush and I've refined my protocols somewhat by now, although the efficacy of my approach is less than predictable. I don't like to prepare with ACV water or phosphoric acid because my tooth enamel is already quite compromised from ignorant use of these organic acids in the past. I avoid apple juice because the sugar content is too high/concentrated, invoking the insulin response to counter excessive blood glucose(!). I think that I established that high insulin coupled with poor liver function often results in these so-called " skin tags " , which is common in insulin resistance disease. I've been experimenting with malic acid caps, along with gentian+bupleurum tincture(mornings) , turmeric+bupleurum tincture(before bed), phosphoric acid(only in the flush potion) and gold coin grass (a couple of times - i've just started making my own tincture). I regularly use lecithin (few teaspoons per day) and sometimes take L-taurine/L- glycine supplements (they're known bile conjugators) . I've tried different pre-fasting and scheduling of flushes, preferring usually to drink the flush potion around 14:00 (Saturday) or 22:00 (Friday), depending on what my plans are for that weekend. Usually, I succeed the flush with 3x300ml coffee enema hits in the sigmoid colon (to further clear the biliary ducts), although if I take the flush potion at 22:00, I do a high lemon/saline water enema the following morning and then do a coffee enema immediately afterwards. Usually, if I take the usual recommended dose of Epsom salts (1T per 2 hour intervals preceding/succeedin g), I lose too much fluid via the bowel (liquid stool aka butt pee!), which is tantamount to loss of eletrolytes, dehydration and strain on kidneys. Suffice to say, I tend not to take the larger amounts of Epsom Salts (maybe 2 teaspoons per hit max) - the stool liquifies nicely but not excessively. I maintain adequate hydration with a mixture of young coconut water, mineral water and sun-dried sea salt. Anyway, the point is, after my 5th flush, I must've had a serious blockage because my eyes were bloodshot, my stools were floating/clay- coloured and it took me a couple of flushes to get the whites of my eyes back to normal. However, I'm still getting that ever-present weird right shoulder blade sensation, coupled with greasy/floating stools (they are bilirubin brown though!). At the moment, I'm trying to heal some of my teeth and I know that without being able to emulsify fats completely, my intestine won't be actively taking up lipids and the prized fat-soluble vitamins (a la Weston Price). I'm sure that without much alkaline bile in my small intestine, the acid chyme won't be neutralised that much either, thereby causing further complication. As well as the usual stone softeners (including the aforementioned formulas/tinctures and others like chanca piedra, which are normally used for kidney calculi), castor packs, strong percussion, lecithin/L-glycine/ L-taurine, cholegogic herbs (dandelion, gentian/bupleurum etc.) etc., does anyone have any suggestions for shifting this debris sharpish please (or is it just a case of flushing at very regular intervals)? At the moment, my only time for flushing is at weekends and it's so inconvenient that my other duties are being totally neglected (e.g. renovating my home, tending my garden, housekeeping) . My only concern is that I'm merely agitating (not clearing) the debris and all that I'm actually producing is bile stools or soap stones... One last thing - I would never juice carrots, beets, sweet potatoes or any of these hybridised starchy vegetables.. .The sugars in these things without the fibre cause major hyperglycaemic spikes (I've experienced the insulin headache and skin tag formation, which I would never repeat).

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 because of saliva changes pH, and the actual time on enamel which is very short. You also may have been eating before, during, or after drinking ACV or lemon, lime juice. You are not gargling with the stuff.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 > > Hey all, > > I hope you're well... > > May I introduce myself as a newbie/immature flusher looking for some mature/sensible advice from flushing veterans (please!)... > > I'm on approximately my 20th flush Hi Bonso, You've done 20 flushes and call yourself a noobie? Sheesh, I'd say you're more like the veteran among this crowd! :-) If you've done that many flushes and are still getting stones or other debris coming out afterward and are experiencing what you suspect is pain in the gall bladder area, this makes me wonder what else is going on. Here are a few questions that come to mind: Aside from the pain in your side, how is your health generally? Are you dealing with any other health issues? Are you having any sort of digestive difficulties? Have you done any parasite cleansing? Have you been doing any other kinds of detoxification protocols in conjunction with or in addition to liver flushing? What's your diet like? Besides the things you mentioned in your post, are you taking any other supplements? For instance are you taking any things like O3s, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, green foods or medicinal mushrooms etc? Have you noticed any positive shifts in your health as a result of doing all these flushes? Is your pain constant, or is it perhaps triggered by anything specific? What's your history with regard to this pain? Have you taken courses of pharmaceutical drugs or done recreational drugs at any time during your life? Have you or do you consume alcohol? Have you ever had any kind of surgery that required anesthesia? Have you ever been exposed to any other toxins that you think would have put a burden on your liver? Have you ever experienced any kind of injury to the part of your body that's giving you pain? Have you consulted a naturopath or other professional health care practitioner to discuss your health issues? You certainly don't need to answer all these questions here on the forum, but I just thought I'd write them down for you here as these are the kinds of questions I would be asking myself if I'd done 20 flushes and hadn't gotten the results I was looking for. Oh, and I'm not sure why you mention floating BMs? Is that a problem? I wasn't aware that it was. Maybe if you can give us a bit more to go on in terms of what else is and has been going on with you, some folks here will be better able to come up with some helpful feedback or suggestions for you.
