Hi

Yes, it can be confusing when there are different sources who make different

recommendations! It really comes down to (this is very non-scientific!)

following your gut instinct about what you believe is right for you. I have

yet to read anyone's writing that I would follow completely and absolutely.

I read, consider and then choose what I feel is right for my health. I know

that probably isn't a lot of help if you're looking for specific direction!

I guess what I'm saying is that you aren't alone in being confused about

things and that if you listen to yourself you'll find what's right. (That's

still no help, I know!) It's just that nobody else can really tell you

which is right for you, but we can just, as you asked, share our own

experiences and hope that will help.

Personally, I have done a number of gallbladder cleanses and have not done a

parasite cleanse. As for the herbal laxative, that would probably be

comparable to the Epsom Salt mixture, which serves as a laxative. I don't

use that, either, though, and choose to use apple juice instead. It requires

more advance preparation, but I just don't like the diarrhea that accompanies

the Epsom Salts. That's just my personal preference, though. Most people

out here seem to avidly follow one particular protocol, but there are some of

us who differ from that. This list is open to discussion of any type of GB

cleansing, though, so hopefully you will get a variety of information.

It's also a good idea, if you have the time, to look through the archives of

this list. There's a lot of great information found there and a lot of

personal experience as well.

The bottom line is, in my opinion, getting as much information as you can and

then listening to your own body and finding out what works for you.

Good luck and good health!

As for personal experience

I have been reading several methods of liver cleansing. I have the

book are you stoned and it suggests you use a herbal laxative to

clean yourself out before you start. Dr. says not to do the

liver cleanse until you have done a parasite cleanse. So which

advice shoud I follow. Do I need to do a parasite cleanse first? or

can I do it later. Please let me know your experiences.

thanks.

Hi,

I'm doing my 6th cleanse today. I've always done Dr. 's cleanse.

I did do the parasite/bowel/kidney cleanse about 6 months prior to

doing my first liver cleanse, and I have been very successful doing the

cleanse and pretty much sailed through them (I have had my GB

removed). My sister finished first cleanse (Dr. 's) yesterday,

and she said that she passed " too many stones to count. " She passed

stones varied in color and shap...yellow, green, black. Most of them

were 2mm or less, one was about 5mm. I had been telling her my

experience with the cleanse, telling her she was headed in my direction

if she didn't take care of herself. She recently just started having

gallbladder attacks...was in a lot of pain...so, she decided to try the

cleanse without doing the parasite cleanse first. She did experience a

migrane headache during the cleanse, which could be associated with the

beginning of her monthly cycle...not sure. The only other difference

she experienced from me, was that she experienced quite a bit of bowel

rumbling during and after the cleanse. She is now going to start the

parasite cleanse, and when she's done with that, she's going to do

another liver cleanse. Even with the headache and all, she was very

pleased with the results, and is anxious to see if the cleanse helps

reduce her pain. I will post more as she keeps me informed.
