I'm in the same boat, i'm thinking intestinal inflammation for me. The IF1 doesn't do anything anymore. I haven't had a solid bowel movement in weeks, just water, and i'm holding lots of water in my gut now. Not even sure what to do so i'll follow your post see if you find an answer.

I tried taking castor oil to see if there was blockage, i've done coffee enemas, liver flushes, garlic enema, acv enema, colonic, tried the pumpkin/wheatgerm/molasses concoction for tapeworms, nothing.

As I was reading, I was thinking "where's the liver work?" (as you know, ample quantities of fresh/healthy bile is our natural IF#1).

I read on to the "bulge thing"...and said to myself, "that is very common in those with congested livers".

My 70 y/o mom did one 30 day round of IF#2 last summer (the only one she's ever done in her life). Last week she had a colonoscopy & CT to find out why she has a rectovaginal fistula. The outcome? Severe diverticular disease coupled with adhesions from a prior hysterectomy. My point? 30 days of IF#2 didn't make much of dent in the congestion & compromise of 70+ years.

Changing our fuel intake (for all it's myriad of benefits!), is not a substitute for undoing the damage and congestion of a lifetime. For some, a few 30-day cleanses; for others it takes being more aggressive & consistent.

Your diet & lifestyle changes & therapies are (of course) STELLAR!

I've run into a LOT of people that just can't get the 3-5 bms daily with IF#1 & IF#2. That's not surprising when the liver/bile is SO integral to regular & healthy bowel movements. Every person that 'was there' got 'out of there' by doing a series of regular/consistent Liver Flushes and consistent/daily CE's (cleaning & restoring flow to the liver is something that definitely takes months of consistency). Many were 'out of the weeds' and lowering their IF#1 doses with 2-3 five-day cleanses, and 2-3 flushes (always with daily CE's). Those with parasite/fluke issues usually have to be more aggressive (and definitely more diligent/consistent) to get 'out of the weeds'.

Elf, I'm seeing "liver liver liver" all over this bump in your road. Jboy, I'm seeing "consistent, consistent, consisent liver & parasites"...getting a bit of relief is reason to follow through as aggressively & consistently as possible.

As a reminder for everyone reading -- only the allopaths treat one system at a time (or separately). Once you've done 10-15 days of good colon work, adding the liver/ parasite cleanses (while continuing to work on the colon) are *essential* to restoring the colon!

>>>Doing one cleanse at a time, can many times work against us. Think of it like restoring an automobile that's been driven hard & fast for 30 years without much (any!) regular maintenance...and really (REALLY!) cheap fuel - many times 'fuel' that was definitely not even designed for the car! The exhaust is clogged, the fuel lines are filthy, the oil/filter needs changed (desperately), the carburetor needs calibrated and cleaned, sparks & plugs changed & gapped, alternator fixed/adjusted; transmission rebuilt (or at least overhauled); suspension aligned; new tires needed, brake pads replaced., etc. If you cleanse the exhaust & fuel lines (similar to the colon & parasite) before cleansing the oil/filter and carb (liver & parasites), you end up filthy fuel lines and clogged exhaust before you ever get the carb/oil/filter work. But if you do the oil/filter/carb before you cleanse the fuel lines and get the gunk out of the exhaust and deal the points & plugs, the plugs'll be corroded again before you know it. New tires & brake pads before an alignment? A waste of new tires/brake pads. If the alternater is 'shorting or weak' that stresses all the system parts....the electrical flow through the engine is no different than the electrical flow through the body. Change to high-grade fuel before cleansing and restoring the damage from the cheap fuel? :::sigh::: That can end up being a waste of fuel (too rich for the compromised system to handle). The human body is no different. It's always much more effective to 'put it up on blocks' and do a full body cleanse/restore, than it is to do it one at a time. Yep, it's more work, but it's FAR more effective (and you'll get MUCH more life out of the car by doing it that way). Remember: in this toxic/poisoned world, our bodies are like high-performance automobiles CONSTANTLY in overdrive (generally running on VERY low grade fuel with extremely little maintenance). There's no truly safe/healthy protocol (maintenance) we can do, that's as extreme as the totally unnatural conditions we live in. And it's only MDs and "alternative practicioners" that believe we can deal with one system of the body at a time. EVERY system/organ in the body depends upon every other. (Perhaps those analogies weren't "mechanically/technically perfect", but I'm sure you get the idea). In one of Dr. Schulze s interviews he talks about how many people say: "Well I did a colon cleanse; I did several Liver Flushes already; yeah, I juice fasted a few years ago; yes! I did hot/cold showers; I tried the vegan thing; I took herbs...none of it worked!" And Dr. Schulze replies, "But did you ever do everything TOGETHER?". <<<

BINGO! (methinks :)
