Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Hi guys, Well...what a weekend I had! Did my first ever liver flush on Friday night using Dr 's recipe but upped the oil to 3/4 cup and equal amounts of grapefruit juice as well as having 5 TBSspoons of Epsom salts. (had previous dealings with Epsom Salts and knew I'de need a 'boost' to help things move along!) Was fine all night and decided to lie first on my back for the 20 minutes and then on my left for about 10 minutes, on my right for another 10 minutes and then fell asleep on my back. By 4am I started passing 'stones' and sludge and was all pretty painfree. The stones were whole when they came out but as soon as I tried to pick them up they easily 'dissolved' into 'squidge' as I examined them. I've been taking Gold Coin Grass and Coptis for the past 3 weeks as part of my juicing routine and feel this was responsible. The stones were green inside and therefore presuming these were cholesterol stones from the liver. As I continued taking the Epsom Salts at the prescribed times, I kept passing various sized 'stones' and later on loads of sludge and sand- like grit.FANTASTIC!!! But...by 10.30am I was in absolute agony. I have never had an attack this painful in my life. I have a calcified stone of 17mm in my gallbladder and knew full well this was the culprit to the pain. I was throwing up and writhing around for 5 hours and if a surgoen was in my bedroom I would have begged him through tear-stained eyes to cut me open to end the pain.If it wasn't for my boyfriend being there and clearing up after me (vomitting water, bile, grapefuit and oil), helping me between bedroom and bathroom I really dont know what I'de have done. The last one I had which even came close to this was on holiday in Greece last year after eating and drinking everything and anything and ended up with an attack. This weekend's one by far beat that! By 3.30pm I woke up after getting an exhausted hours sleep and the pain had subsided slightly. I just sat on my bed and wept. I am absolutely gutted that it caused this attack as although I desperately want to continue flushing to get rid of all the other stuff in my liver (I was sooooo pleased to see what I was passing!) and I knew it could be months/years before passing the 'biggie', but I cannot do another cleanse and risk undergoing that again. Bt 9 that night, the attack came back (although not with the same vengeance) and lasted until 7.30am the next morning. Ended up in the bath from 3 to 5am to try and ease the pain a little. Has anyone who has a calicified stone in their GBs ever had an attack brought on by doing the flush? What on earth am I going to do now???? Please, any suggestions I'de greatly appreciate. I'm off work for 2 weeks due to having a ganglion operation and therefore will not be able to read any of your postings after tues afternoon. (crap timing as usual). With much anticipation, still sore and deeply gutted! Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
