Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Wednesday night I did the cleanse, as I said I was going to, and used organic olive oil (3/4 cup to 3/4 cup lemon juice), I used the Epsom Salts and I put a pillow under my hips and laid on my right side. I had just finished a 15 day parasite cleanse as well. First, the organic olive oil tasted so awful compared to what I'd been using. I was surprised. It had a different smell to it as well. Adrienne, you said that you don't burp as much with the organic? Well...I had the opposite experience! Part of the difference, I think, is that the olive oil I had been using was light and this was not. I think I would look around for an organic LIGHT olive oil next time. I didn't like this one at all! But different mouths have different tastes and I guess this particular taste just didn't agree with me. I would say that it was effective, but I guess it's always disappointing to not see dramatic results. I would say, though, that I passed probably about a hundred stones, so I don't want to actually say that it was disappointing. It's just kind of neat when they are bigger, you know what I mean? But I am glad to eliminate anything that is in there and it's also possible that I'm nearing the maintenance phase. I will still do the next one in two weeks, because that will be the new moon and I've read recently about how many things are affected by the cycles of the moon that I thought the cleanse might be as well. After that, though, I will wait a month for the next. I did have a couple of odd things happen, though. Last evening (the night after) I had a tiny bowel movement that was a light tan in color. That's not a surprise, as I'd seen stones that color coming out. Not the green, but the tan. Anyway, I woke up at about 4:00 this morning with a slight discomfort in my lower abdomen. Not a pain, really, but sort of along the lines of a mild cramp. I sometimes get mild cramps before my period, but it isn't time for that. Anyway, I got up and got a drink of water and then had another glass of water with some apple cider vinegar. Before long I had a bowel movement and the WHOLE THING was that same tan color. I've never seen anything like it. I have read somewhere that this color stool can indicate a low level of bile salts (which are evidently what usually give it the brown color). But I think it had something to do with the flush I had done. It was weird. But what was also weird was that I could almost feel that discomfort feeling moving. It was as though there was something in there that was moving along it's way. I don't mean to suggest that it was alive, but just that something was moving through the digestive track. I did an enema to help clear things out and saw a lot of that gel-like stuff (which I've read can be from the lymphatic system) and a couple of black things that I couldn't identify. This morning my stomach feels full, which is an odd thing since I haven't been eating that much lately. I will keep an eye on things and see how it goes from here. All in all I would say that I'm pleased with the results of the cleanse and would probably do the next one in a similar way. I still like the idea of the version with the whipped cream, though! hehehe But I will stick with the oil/juice standard. Thanks for listening. in health, rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
