Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Hi I had never heard this before - " draining organs " . I wonder if it's just a different terminology for cleansing/flushing. I did a search on google.com, just for the heck of it, and only came across one site in an initial search, that talked of this. It's an herbal supplement company and one of the objectives they list is " draining organs. " I wrote to them to ask for a further explanation and I'll let you know what they tell me if/when they respond. in health, FlyingABar@... writes: > I called some Naturapath doctors today.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Helge What a good description of the difference. That makes sense when I think of it in terms of comparing it to household plumbing and the difference between draining water from a sink and flushing a toilet. Draining takes time, but the overall effect is still the same - the elimination of what's in the sink/toilet. There are a lot of people who would prefer the slower draining type cleanse as opposed to the flushing type cleanse. Even with the gallstone cleanses there are different variations out there that range from the " quick flush " that we generally do out here, to as long as 21 or 30 days. The results aren't as dramatic and visible, but that doesn't mean they aren't as effective. Thanks for that explanation - it made sense to me! in health, helge.gundersen@... writes: > The difference from the > gallbladder flushes seems to be that the " drainings " are gentler > cures for a few weeks, not two days, and that it can involve the > whole " system " .

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 At least I can say that it's a common type of action (as you have found yourself on the web) and " preassembled " mixes are sold by all health-food stores. The marketing typically says things like " detoxifies and purifies the whole system " , " controls the body's natural fat/protein balance " , " gives you a smooth, supple skin " and " stimulates all the body's exit channels " [i.e. to work harder to drive out " chaff " ]. These statements are actual quotes from the marketing of a Belgian product from Ortis. Some of the ingredients used in this one are prunes, birch, artischock and dandelion. It's probably intended as a general slow (not an instant flush) clean-up in various organs of the body instead of concentrating on one part. Like, dandelion is also taken specifically as a cure for the kidneys, liver and gallbladder, and various herbal teas are often said to be taken for 2-4 weeks for this or that. The difference from the gallbladder flushes seems to be that the " drainings " are gentler cures for a few weeks, not two days, and that it can involve the whole " system " . I don't know how well these remedies works. -- Helge >I called some Naturapath doctors today. Also looked them up on the web for >more indepth info.
