I would advise new flushers to experiment with increasing ammounts of Epsom Salt from a flat teaspoonful until the bowel movement is runny. One tablespoon is too much for me. One desertspoon is quite enough. Establish the correct dose for you over several days before you do the liver flush. You will also get used to the tast, and have more confidence in the whole Liver Flush process. I read this somewhere,it could have come from Dr Clark or Andreas,anyway it worked for me.
