First of all, thank you all (particularly Paint Lady and Southern Belle) for your input and observations.
I ate pretty normally yesterday and do feel better today. Not perfect, but better. I realize I have a long way to go yet.
The thing that astounded me was the fact I literally lost 5
lbs. during the flush. I'm overwieght but have been losing it very slowly over the past 2.5 years (maybe about 40
lbs. total). I knew I'd lose some just by virtue of the epsoms emptying my intestines (false weight loss, I call it). I've fasted and seen this phenomenon where you quickly loss 4 or 5
lbs. over a 3 day fast, only to gain most of it back when you start eating again.
Guess what? Even after eating yesterday I didn't gain back a single ounce of what the flush took off.
Not only that, I swear to you all i lost an
inch around the waste in 2 days. My belt proves it (need to make another hole now). I also had my wife perform the hug test before leaving for work. She absolutley confirmed she could reach farther around me.
Gee, maybe we should promote the flush as the next fad diet and get some people healthy in the process. ;)
I wonder how the billion dollar diet industry would react if you told them you could lose weight by drinking a cup of oil. (of course, I'm saying this all tongue in cheek).
In the end, I don't know how much of what came out of me was from the liver, parasites, or from the colon, but I'm certain it was evil and needed to come out. :)
And I know something is happening in my liver because I can feel it twitching and aching slightly from time to time. My guess is things are shifting around a bit and getting ready for another flush.
