Epsom Salts and Other questions.

Hi There,
I been out of the loop for a while and I need a little info:
1) Regarding the Epsom Salts - I remember Telman mentioning that taking the salts directly instead of in capsules is the only effective way of doing it. Can anyone explain why or point me to his post? After searching, I can't seem to find it. To be honest, I absolutely cannot (emphasis on 'cannot') tolerate the taste of taking it directly... it is one of the most horrid tasting things I've ever tasted. If I can't take them in capsules, is there another way of taking it to completely avoid the taste buds?
2) About Oils - would Macadamia Nut Oil be an effective alternative to Olive Oil? I simply can't bare the taste of anything Olive, especially not drinking half a cup of it straight (aside from Extra-Virgin Olive-Oil used for cooking). I remember seeing a list of effective oils, what in the oils makes them effective and a chart that listed all the oils (again, by Telman).
I'm looking to start a serious cleansing routine and a large series of consecutive flushes as soon as possible. I can no longer live with all the health problems I have, it's definitely time I do something about it.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers!

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,812,621I mix the ES with fresh squeezed grapefruit (chilled) and it is MUCH easier to get down. You could also mix it with Apple Juice. I have heard of people putting it with water but how they get that down I have no idea.
Also, I use Extra-Virgin Olive-Oil mixed with grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed and room temp) It is the kind you cook with.
Hope this helps- Re: Epsom Salts and Other questions. Southern Belle

This is a reply to # 1,812,621Gelatin capsule vary a great deal. Some are designed to pass through the stomach and dissolve in the intestines. Gelatin capsules are used more for pharmaceuticals, while vegetable/cellulose capsules are a favourite of herbal and vitamin markets. Some dissolve quite quickly 5 - 10 minutes, others can take up to 45 minutes and as said before some can pass out of the stomach.
Ask the supplier about the dissolution rate of the capsule. Ideally you want then to dissolve together. I notice that some manufacturers give the dissolution rates in stomach acid conditions. However, an empty stomach has only a teaspoon of acid in it and when you drink water with the capsules this is diluted.
Macadamia nut oil is a excellent alternative to olive oil.

This is a reply to # 1,812,787Hi Telman,
I'll definitely be using 100% Vegetable capsules, my source is actually from Mountain Rose Herbs and here is their product description:
100 % Vegetarian capsules for the encapsulation of your favorite herbal powders and other preparations. These empty vegetable capsules contain no animal derived ingredients, starch, preservatives , wheat, or Genetically-Modified-Organisms materials, and they re made from pure cellulose from pine and poplar trees. Fast dissolving and easily digestible.
I spoke to them over the phone and unfortunately, they did not know the dissolution rate. Do you know of any other companies that sell veggie caps if my selection isn't suitable? Would it be useless taking the salts in capsules if not? I just can't take the taste, it makes me gag and it's the worst taste/feeling I've experienced so far.
As for Macadamia Nut Oil, it's good to know that it works great as well. I am curious though, have you yourself or know someone who has done flushes using Ozonated Oil? If so, what are the major advantages over non-ozonated?
Thanks for the help Telman.

This is a reply to # 1,813,070Gelatin based capsules melt at body heat so they start to dissolved straight away.
Vegetable capsules are often made of cellulose they take between 20 minutes to an hour to dissolve. The gluten free capsules between 30 minutes and 60 minutes. But I don't have the information at hand to be more specific.
The description 'fast dissolving' doesn't mean much because there isn't anything to compare it with.
Enteric-coated capsules have a delayed action and don't dissolve in the stomach they are design to pass into the intestine before they break up.
Using Ozonated oil is a personal and there isn't evidence to show that it improves the flush.- Re: Epsom Salts and Other questions. Cyane

This is a reply to # 1,813,153Good information. Can you suggest an alternative method for getting the salts down, aside from directly or using a straw (which by the way, did absolutely nothing for me when I tried it)? That is, if the veggie caps I selected won't work in the correct way.
Thanks again Telman.
Cheers!
