I've only just completed my 2nd flush just last week, but you DO need to use the ES, because it opens your biliary (sp?) ducts. The experts could tell you the results you'd get without it. How I've overcome the ES obstacle is I got a pill machine (00 capsule sized) and filled capsules and taken it that way. The only thing is you have to fill 20 capsules to equate one tablespoon of ES, so you're going to have to fill 80 capsules. I would much rather take the capsules than have to ever drink straight ES again! I had no nausea and I didn't have to deal with that nasty a** taste and aftertaste. If there were no way around the ES, I wouldn't have tried flushing a second time. I got the machine from Wilderness Family Naturals in Minnesota (web addresses below). I found them through a google search for the "pill machine." They had the best price on the capsules and the machine and I am a pretty thorough researcher. I used the machine for the first time before my 2nd flush and it was so easy.

Here are the links for the machine and capsules. There are larger capsules available, but they don't make a machine that large or at least they didn't have one there.

Happy flushing!

if you want to do the flush you will want the epsom they go hand in hand in my opinion the alternatives are not so satifying. I have done 36 flushes and don't necessarily desire the epsom but I do appreciate it. Drink it with a straw to bypass taste buds. I also sometimes mixed or chased it with a bit of cherry magnesium citrate it is the aftertaste that gets me.

Hello,

I felt the same way about the Epsom Salt earlier, but I've noticed that it's a little easier to drink when it's a little warm, almost body tempered. It also helps to think about how good it is for the flush. Motivation is an important factor. I have tried to reduce the epsomsalt in some flushes, always with bad results. But everyone is different...

There is ABSOLUTELY no need to torture yourself with Epsom Salts ! I suffered through it through my first 5 flushes, until I could take it no longer and did more research (on this site!)You can easily replace Epsom Salts ( magnesium sulfate) with magnesium citrate! I have done at least 15 flushes with it. It comes in capsule form ( take 2 400mg caps each time) , easy to swallow, and also in powder form, pretty well tasteless, just mix it into 1/2 water 1/2 grapefruit juice. I and several others have suggested this on this site numerous times before, it's there for you to read if you put in the keywords.
wishing you Good Health!

I have also used Magnesium Citrate successfully. It also relaxes the ducts and empties you out. Epsom Salts is just another form of magnesium.

By any chance have you tried boiling the water to disolve the epsons really good and then drinking it luke warm?

Or shots? Where you do a shot of really epson-salty water and then chase it with plain water?

This is what my husband and I have been doing: Buy a package of empty gelatin capsules, then encapsulate all the Epsom Salt dosages. 14 caps = 1 TB of ES. You won't taste a thing! I posted instructions on how to do a flush with oil capsules, Epsom Salt capsules, etc on pg 251. My husband just had too much nausea doing the liquid oil, and we hated the taste of ES, so I did it this way and am so glad! Good luck and happy flushing!

Nor is it magnesium glycinate...my point is that yes, there are many different forms of magnesium, however, they do not all have the same effects. I have used both magnesium citrate/sulfate (epsom salt), and my experience was that the citrate was MUCH milder than the magnesium sulfate. In fact, one form of magnesium has no laxative effect at all, and is used to lower blood pressure. When doing the liver flush, I stick to using the Epsom Salt because it is the form of magnesium recommended specifically for this procedure. JMO.
