First of all, I ADMIRE you for having the stamina to do 27 flushes! Unbelievable.

But, the first thing that popped into my head while reading your post is that you flush, drink, flush, drink, etc. Do you have any idea how hard your liver is working to filter all this alcohol you are addicted to? I am picturing your liver as jumping up and down for joy when you begin to clean it out and then how confused it then becomes when here comes all this alcohol back again. AT the rate you are going, you will NEVER completely clean out your liver.

I think if you clear up the ROOT issues of this addiction, all of your other problems will clear up, too. Then you will wind up with a clean liver and all your negantive issues will flush away, too. Your liver stores your emotions, you know.

Just know that you have so many friends here willing and able to help you. We have been where you are and we all backslide, too. So, you are not by yourself. The difference with our website is that we care about you and we love you.

One thing that has been helping me a lot, more than anything else I´ve ever tried is CHANKA PIEDRA TINCTURE. Just wonderful. Never had any pain anymore ever since I started taking it. Of course it does not mean I should stop flushing, but at least I don´t have any of the bad symptoms from a inflamed gb.
Try Chanka Piedra(Stone Breaker) on empty stomach 30 minutes before your meain meal.
Good luck with your other issues. Remember we all go through some bad times from time to time. What makes a difference is how we deal with them. No pain no gain - that unfortunately makes sense to me.Also remember we ought to make a tasty lemonade out of a lemon. Hope you manage to make yours.

Good luck dear friend!

Hi
I understand a lot of what you are going through being in somewhat the same boat myself.

From things I have read (mainly on the ask Shelley curezone forum) it seems necessary to eat/take foods, teas and herbs to heal the liver and improve its function. Flushing removes toxins etc. but it will not as greatly improve liver function as dietary changes.

I would suggest reposting your message there to get her input as well.

Me I am having trouble giving up the coffee. Some days it is either coffee or a drink. I read an article staing that coffee, even decaf leaves a brown sludgelike substance in the liver that is much worse than the caffeine. Still some days I just have to have some.

I guess one has to just keep working at it.

Luckily it seems that you have the will and intelligence needed to get to the root of these things and I am sure there are much better days ahead.

Regards
Helen

It really shows a lot of perseverance to flush 27 times. But, you would probably agree that there something is still not right. I agree w/ the first response, going back and forth with alcohol does you no good.

I think that this is a long-term project.

The toughest thing for me was to quit the destructive foods - you know the ones. I have really started to cleanse the layers of crud.

But, I just had a conversation with a depressed friend and we both realized how much negative thoughts effect us physiologically. Also stress has terrible effects on mental well-being and the organs like thyroid and liver.

Vigorous exercise really helps to fix the brain chemistry. If your back hurts, I would try something low-impact like swimming.

Exercise is the thing that keeps me sane, it allows me to relax and brings back that sense of well-being.

Best of luck

At first I thought I'd written your message myself. I've done 27 flushes too! Shows the two of us are in sync, eh? From now on, you and I are what they call on the Forum "flushing buddies". Here are your priorities as I see them:

1) Do a parasites cleanse if you haven't already done one. That may help you shift more stuff, faster, while you keep doing the liver flushes. Visit parasites Cleanse Forum to gen up.

2) IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU EAT OR DRINK but please try to stay alive as all of us on the Forum want to keep hearing from you! For goodness' sake don't get hung up on guilt. Just KNOW that you have provided yourself with a "safety valve", which is your flushes.

There are huge numbers of people who may eat and drink healthier than you BUT their overall health is slowly DETERIORATING because they don't do any cleansing. Yours, however, is IMPROVING however slowly it may seem to you. YOU'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION and YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF EVERY CHANCE OF BEING JUST AS HEALTHY AS YOU CAN.

3) Go to www.amazon.com and order a copy of "Loving What Is" by Byron Kathleen Mitchell ("Katie"). When you've read the book you'll understand why I've recommended it. It contains everything you'll ever need to be HAPPY.

Katie herself is living proof that it works - her discovery brought her out of years of deep Depression and obsessive suicide thoughts. She now goes all over the world holding workshops and helping others. You can take a sneaky peak at http://www.thework.org/

4) If you have Amalgam (metal) fillings, and if one of them breaks, don't have it repaired with amalgam. Have white resin or, if the tooth's too far gone, a crown. Also, whatever money you have spare, use it to have other Amalgam fillings replaced that are close to the filling that broke.

Over a period of years and without spending more than you can afford, you could end up with a virtually Amalgam free mouth. Any step you can take in this direction will help your health. If you don't have a broken tooth now, just wait till the next time one breaks.

I strongly recommend you go and see 3 - 6 dentists and ask for a treatment plan and no-obligation quote. That way you will be able to find out who can do a good professional job at a price you know in advance, and you can be sure to avoid the sharks, or a dentist who might talk you into believing you should keep your amalgam fillings because they're stronger etc.

I've had all my amalgam replaced. I had 6 teeth crowned and my fillings are white resin - that includes nearly all my teeth (I'm 50 years old and if I were a kangaroo, my teeth would probably be completely worn down by now). I was pleased because my teeth feel much better to my tongue and besides that I haven't had to go back to the dentist for repairs since the work was completed 18 months ago.

Final note: It's true what you've already been told, that when cleansing your body you're also cleansing your emotions. However, from my experience, you don't need to cleanse the emotions first, and get a clean body second. The body - mind - emotions are not separate, they are ONE.

Treat them all at the same time - carry on with the liver flushes. Don't, whatever you do, suspend your flushes and other physical cleanses JUST BECAUSE you think you have to cleanse emotional blockages or whatever else first. Just remember, you are the whole of you, not separate parts. No part of you is separate from any other.

I'll digress a bit to tell you a short story that illustrates this. A few days ago, one of my "best" clients rang and asked if he could come for a massage on credit, i.e. pay next week. Because I trust him, I said "yes".

However, within minutes I had to ring him back and, in my friendliest voice possible, say "no". I had been seized with terrible nausea in my stomach, and I would have been physically incapable of giving a massage, however much I wanted to.

The reason was that the client's request had brought up memories of previous clients who had conned me into giving them a free massage. Although the current client was known to me and I trusted him, and although I had forgiven the previous clients for conning me, the memory of what had happened with previous clients brought about a physical reaction that arose out of my subconscious and was totally out of my voluntary control.

Of course, after that all was well. I felt immediately better and I knew I hadn't upset the client as I'd been genuinely friendly with my explanation. The incident served simply to illustrate to me that my mind and body are absolutely one. They are like mirrors that faithfully reflect the changes in one another.

I hope you're still awake after reading this (!) and look forward to your next posting.

You might want to pick up a copy of this book from the local library as I did. It was a real eye openner for me as to the power of the mind and emotion over the body.

The general gist of the book is that the human brain instinctively suppresses emotional conflict on a subconcious level. Instead of dealing with this rage and conflict directly, the brain creates psychosomatic distractions in the form of physiological symptoms, including back pain, GI pain, depression, anxiety, etc. It's sort of a subconcsious sleight of hand; you focus on the physical pain manifestation rather than the root emotional cause.

It's helped me immensely in the past couple of weeks. My doctor prescribed carafate for my gastritis, in addition to the nexium I was already taking. After starting the book, I stopped taking the nexium and didn't even bother with the carafate, realizing that I was creating most of my stomach problems in my head. I haven't looked back. I hope this helps.
