Re: Need help - want to do the flush - 19 weeks pregnant

April 23, 2010

I would take a spoon full of organicÂ apple cider vinegar 2 times a day.Â Also

take some if you feel an 'attack' coming on.Â It should help.

Where do you feel you pain when an 'attack' start?Â And how long is it?

Â

OK, so I've been reading on here for 10 weeks while having 6 attacks

during that period. I've been afraid to try the flush b/c I'm pregnant. My

naturopathic dr. said it is too hard on the body during pregnancy, but at this

point I am actually considering surgery b/c this is too painful and I am hardly

able to eat anything w/o having an attack. I am not gaining weight, getting

little nutrition and no protein which can't be good for the baby. Once I went

to the hospital to get pain med's b/c it was so bad and they gave me a shot of

morphine. Well that isn't good for the baby either. I can hardly breathe

during the attacks and I can imagine how much worse that's going to be when I

get further along in the pregnancy. However, I have MANY questions, if anyone

wants to bear with me. They did confirm 2 calcified stones via ultrasound but

they never told me how big they were. I'm scheduled for another ultrasound in

the next two weeks but I don't

think I want to wait that long. Hopefully, I can do the flush first and it

will confirm that there are no longer stones.

1. There are many different varieties of flushes out there. I'm not sure which

one to use. I have a sensitive stomach so I'm afraid I'm going to throw up. If

I take Coke, it will likely keep me awake at night, but that may be my best

option as I really miss my Coke.

2. Do I do one without epsom salts? I have just had two colon hydrotherapy

sessions done and have one more scheduled. I'm hoping this helps clear the way

for the stones to get out quicker. Does this mean I don't have to do an enema

or the epsom salt drinks before the flush since I've done the colon

hydrotherapy? I just had one done two days ago and haven't gone to the bathroom

yet. I had a gallstone attack 2 hours after the colon cleanse. Not sure what

that means. I would think it would be best to do the liver flush a couple days

after a colon cleanse, but do I need to take 5 days to prep of eating apples and

apple juice? I do eat about one apple a day and about 16 oz of apple juice a

day for the last two months. I'd like to do the flush right away but don't know

if now I need to wait to eat all the apples first. I don't feel comfortable

doing an enema on myself. Maybe I should wait until after my next colon

hydrotherapy? I had a friend who

expelled stones during her 6th colon hydrotherapy but she also was taking herbs

to help eliminate the stones, which cannot be taken during pregnancy.

3. Is it necessary to do a whole 2 cups of olive oil? Can you do less than

this and still expel stones?

4. Do you experience gallstone like attacks during the time you are waiting to

expel the stones?

5. Why do some people feel like they have the flu after the flushes? Some say

they feel much better right away.

6. My naturopath said I have parasites but I can't find a natural parasite

cleanse that is safe during pregnancy. Anyone know of one? Can I do the flush

without doing a parasite cleanse first? I thought I had read that you have to

do the parasite cleanse first or the flush may not be effective.

7. Once I do the flush, am I going to be able to eat more freely? I will still

eat no red meat and I am GFCF(gluten and dairy free), but I'd love to be able to

eat organic chicken, some soy, chocolate, sugar, occassional Coke, etc. again

and some occassional red meat if possible.

8. After the flush, will I be free of gallstone attacks, or will I still be

just as susceptible if I don't stay on the very restricted diet? My whole aim

is to eliminate the stones and the attacks and be able to eat more foods. I'm

just not getting enough nutrition and enough food while pregnant. I do exercise

and I am not overweight. I am underweight. However, diet, exercise, supp's are

still not preventing attacks. I have choline, Beta food,disodium phosphate, vit

C, prenatals, aloe vera juice, digestive enzymes, probiotics, liver cleansing

teas, chamomile tea, etc. I don't take all of those all the time b/c I was

afraid they were causing the attacks, but I have them.

9. Has anyone done the flush and not passed stones? Just wondering what the

failure rate was on doing the flush wrong. I'm afraid I'm going to do it wrong.

10. What was the recovery like for most of you? Were you sick for a couple

days following the flush? I have 3 young kids to take care of. I will have

someone here for at least the next day. My youngest tends to wake up in the

middle of the night and wake me up which will be a pain.

11. And lastly, what in the world do you all do during an attack to ease the

pain? I've been taking a hot bath and that helps some. I also took Tylenol and

aloe vera juice but not sure if it helped or not. Still lasted over an hour. I

did try drinking apple cider vinegar with apple juice but it just made me throw

up a few times. My dr. prescribed Levbid which helps stop the gallbladder from

contracting but I haven't picked it up yet. I hate to take anything while

pregnant and not sure if it would help or not.

Thanks for reading. If anyone has any answers, I would love to hear them. My

husband's birthday is Saturday so I hate to do it tomorrow night, but maybe I'll

try it Saturday night. I want these stupid stones out one way or another. I

have to think a flush would be less painful than surgery. Thanks so much for

any help.

I tried that once. It didn't work. I just put about 2 TB of ACV in about 4

oz of apple juice and took two drinks of it. I also drank about 8 oz of

water and a little bit of some liver friendly tea (dandelion, milk thistle,

all that stuff) In a few minutes, I was throwing up a few times. I can't

stand the smell and taste of ACV, plus I'm pregnant so that prob makes it

worse. The pain is right in the middle between my ribs and lasts about an

hour to an hour and a half.

have u tried af beta tablets from standard process they usually do the

trick- I have taken up to 4 have heard people in this group have taken

more- search archives but get them asap

do not believe yeast is bad or effects

but if u are cutting out animal protein ( which is a good idea) YOU

NEED to supplement with nutritional yeast for your B vitamins being

pregnant doubly important you get your proper supplements!

also milk thistle will help

drink plenty of water add lemon juice and table spoon of apple cider

vinegar - u will get used to the taste - I did - add extra lemon to

mask vinegar

good luck

PS

also exercise and spend quiet time alone - no reading or thinking or

tv or radio- blank 20 to 30 minutes a day twice a day - u will be

pleasantly surprised at the results till then stay calm- it will all

be ok - stress is worse than any GB problem

Hi Sheri~I feel for you......here is a link that will answer all your ?'s and

more;

http://curezone.com/faq/p/s.asp?a=28,571,2826 & s=21

Good luck,

herbladie

PSÂ I've never done 2 cups of olive oil,Â 1/2 c. is plenty

Also,Â my chiro told me once to use suppositories for short term if you can't

go #2.Â Two days is way too long and all that 'crap' will back up in to the

bloodstream and make you feel sick.Â I'm sure you're drinking lots of water?

Drinking apple juice will soften the stones.Â Mix it with water if you have

insulin problems,Â but just get it down for 5 days straight.Â I always do

hydrotherapy one time b 4 a cleanse and two times after.Â You don't want the

stones hanging out in your colon very long.Â Might be good to do some light

senna tea, or laxative tea,Â to keep the colon cleansing,Â especially if you're

constipated.Â Lots of probiotics, too, or water kefir. Good luck!

Â

OK, so I've been reading on here for 10 weeks while having 6 attacks during that

period. I've been afraid to try the flush b/c I'm pregnant. My naturopathic dr.

said it is too hard on the body during pregnancy, but at this point I am

actually considering surgery b/c this is too painful and I am hardly able to eat

anything w/o having an attack. I am not gaining weight, getting little nutrition

and no protein which can't be good for the baby. Once I went to the hospital to

get pain med's b/c it was so bad and they gave me a shot of morphine. Well that

isn't good for the baby either. I can hardly breathe during the attacks and I

can imagine how much worse that's going to be when I get further along in the

pregnancy. However, I have MANY questions, if anyone wants to bear with me. They

did confirm 2 calcified stones via ultrasound but they never told me how big

they were. I'm scheduled for another ultrasound in the next two weeks but I

don't think I want to wait that long. Hopefully, I can do the flush first and it

will confirm that there are no longer stones.

1. There are many different varieties of flushes out there. I'm not sure which

one to use. I have a sensitive stomach so I'm afraid I'm going to throw up. If I

take Coke, it will likely keep me awake at night, but that may be my best option

as I really miss my Coke.

2. Do I do one without epsom salts? I have just had two colon hydrotherapy

sessions done and have one more scheduled. I'm hoping this helps clear the way

for the stones to get out quicker. Does this mean I don't have to do an enema or

the epsom salt drinks before the flush since I've done the colon hydrotherapy? I

just had one done two days ago and haven't gone to the bathroom yet. I had a

gallstone attack 2 hours after the colon cleanse. Not sure what that means. I

would think it would be best to do the liver flush a couple days after a colon

cleanse, but do I need to take 5 days to prep of eating apples and apple juice?

I do eat about one apple a day and about 16 oz of apple juice a day for the last

two months. I'd like to do the flush right away but don't know if now I need to

wait to eat all the apples first. I don't feel comfortable doing an enema on

myself. Maybe I should wait until after my next colon hydrotherapy? I had a

friend who expelled stones during her 6th colon hydrotherapy but she also was

taking herbs to help eliminate the stones, which cannot be taken during

pregnancy.

3. Is it necessary to do a whole 2 cups of olive oil? Can you do less than this

and still expel stones?

Sheri - do you have a confirmed diagnosis of gallstones? Ie: has an

ultrasound or a gall bladder function test shown that you have stones or a

poorly functioning gallbladder? I'll tell you why I ask when you write

back. -shara

Subject: Need help - want to do the flush - 19 weeks pregnant

OK, so I've been reading on here for 10 weeks while having 6 attacks during

that period. I've been afraid to try the flush b/c I'm pregnant. My

naturopathic dr. said it is too hard on the body during pregnancy, but at

this point I am actually considering surgery b/c this is too painful and I

am hardly able to eat anything w/o having an attack. I am not gaining

weight, getting little nutrition and no protein which can't be good for the

that's going to be when I get further along in the pregnancy. However, I

I'm scheduled for another ultrasound in the next two weeks but I don't think

I want to wait that long. Hopefully, I can do the flush first and it will

confirm that there are no longer stones.

3. Is it necessary to do a whole 2 cups of olive oil? Can you do less than

this and still expel stones?

4. Do you experience gallstone like attacks during the time you are waiting

to expel the stones?

5. Why do some people feel like they have the flu after the flushes? Some

say they feel much better right away.

6. My naturopath said I have parasites but I can't find a natural parasite

cleanse that is safe during pregnancy. Anyone know of one? Can I do the

flush without doing a parasite cleanse first? I thought I had read that you

have to do the parasite cleanse first or the flush may not be effective.

7. Once I do the flush, am I going to be able to eat more freely? I will

still eat no red meat and I am GFCF(gluten and dairy free), but I'd love to

be able to eat organic chicken, some soy, chocolate, sugar, occassional

Coke, etc. again and some occassional red meat if possible.

8. After the flush, will I be free of gallstone attacks, or will I still be

just as susceptible if I don't stay on the very restricted diet? My whole

aim is to eliminate the stones and the attacks and be able to eat more

foods. I'm just not getting enough nutrition and enough food while pregnant.

I do exercise and I am not overweight. I am underweight. However, diet,

exercise, supp's are still not preventing attacks. I have choline, Beta

food,disodium phosphate, vit C, prenatals, aloe vera juice, digestive

enzymes, probiotics, liver cleansing teas, chamomile tea, etc. I don't take

all of those all the time b/c I was afraid they were causing the attacks,

but I have them.

9. Has anyone done the flush and not passed stones? Just wondering what the

failure rate was on doing the flush wrong. I'm afraid I'm going to do it

wrong.

10. What was the recovery like for most of you? Were you sick for a couple

days following the flush? I have 3 young kids to take care of. I will have

someone here for at least the next day. My youngest tends to wake up in the

middle of the night and wake me up which will be a pain.

11. And lastly, what in the world do you all do during an attack to ease the

pain? I've been taking a hot bath and that helps some. I also took Tylenol

and aloe vera juice but not sure if it helped or not. Still lasted over an

hour. I did try drinking apple cider vinegar with apple juice but it just

made me throw up a few times. My dr. prescribed Levbid which helps stop the

gallbladder from contracting but I haven't picked it up yet. I hate to take

anything while pregnant and not sure if it would help or not.

Thanks for reading. If anyone has any answers, I would love to hear them. My

husband's birthday is Saturday so I hate to do it tomorrow night, but maybe

I'll try it Saturday night. I want these stupid stones out one way or

another. I have to think a flush would be less painful than surgery. Thanks

so much for any help.

Sheri

My MD recommends the books by s Moritz - The amazing liver and

gallbladder flush and the 21st century cures for healing (or something like

that, I don't remember the title off the top of my head). Anyways, there

are step by step instructions to do the flush. I would make sure that your

doctor says its okay to do this while you're pregnant, though! My doc told

me NOT to do any flush for now. (I'm not pregantn but having issues). -shara
