My best flush was a Dr. Sutter coke flush, I kid you not. I didn't feel like death warmed over afterwards!

Oi, didje do the phosporic acid drops for the 2 days before?

Yeah, any time I ever tried the Hulda Clark epsom-salt method, I'd get candida bloom like hell >n<

( Diabetes (both 1 and 2) has candida overgrowth as a chronic disease factor )

I did the castor oil flush ( //www.curezone.org/cleanse/liver/castor_oil_liver_flush.asp ) after 2 days of fasting, and really inspected the results, that's where my suspected liver fluke is from. Got lots of photos of what I suspect were parasites, though I'd need an experienced eye to help me out!

I used red beetjuice (fresh pressed) instead of OJ. :9

It was non-organic, lavendar-scented castor oil, and I was sleepy as heck afterwards and had the rrrrruns (to the toilet of course), but no candida flush (and brainfog/annoying depersonalization and mental issues after) like the Epsom Salt stuff!



coffee enema trick: Drink a good bitter tea of chickory root (I love it, so much like coffee!) before your coffee enema, and you'll hear BIG bileflow both left and right under the ribcage. Both coffee and chickory root provide plenty of choline, and that's the prime ingredient in producing bile!!

Phosphorus and magnesium both help dilate the ducts, but you need the fuel for running the machinery too :-) (why folk report such good responses to ox bile and phosphatidylcholine supplements~ )




I still haven't gotten stones yet, HM. :o
The P&B (psyllium husk and Bentonite clay) make me weirdly cheery and a bit punchdrunk though, it's the oddest thing! Just teensily annoyed with the way the calcium Bentonite comes out my skin (especially in hot baths). But hey.. If it works and it's cheap as dirt.. (little joke there)

Hey Marina,

Thanks for your thoughts. A few things:

1) I have adrenal insufficiency (addison's disease) since age 13, which means I have to take replacement hydrocortisone/fludrocortisone on a daily basis. Low doses/replacement, but still steroids.
2) Despite the long-term replacement steroid use, my health was good, up until 5 years ago.
3) What happened 5 years ago, which caused my health to deteriorate rapidly, is that I was prescribed a pretty hefty Antibiotic for a very minor infection. 14 pills of Flagyl over 1 week for a stupid vaginal bacterial infection (my first time getting BV in 28 years...probably just related to hygiene or some other BS at that point...was NOT a problem ever).
4) After i took the antibiotic, I began experiencing a slew of problems. I never had a yeast infection before IN MY LIFE, and I immediately got one after the antibiotic, and it lasted a full year, with literally no relief (except during periods). After a year of no relief and seeing many "specialists," I went on a strict candida diet, hoping a few months of it would solve my problems. Well, 4 years on the diet later...I still have problems, just different/changed ones from the start. In the last 4 years, I've had the following symptoms at various points during my treatment:
* vaginal yeast infections (thank god- don't get those anymore..)
* BV (thank god, I don't get that anymore either)
* Skin rashes-- still get that from time to time
* coated white tongue in back-- still have that
* rectal yeast infections-- relatively new problem that I have currently, which typically happens after heavy wiping...
* Bloating/gas-- in the past 4 years, only had a problem with this VERY RARELY until recently...
* blocked/clogged ears- (has been much better lately but not 100%)

So, a few months ago, despite feeling like much more of a person with only occasional rectal yeast infections, a white tongue, and clogged ears (on and off), I decided I would embark on some LFs to "cure" myself of all of this and just be done with the whole thing.

Well, my first flush was totally fine. My second (and most recent flush) was a total nightmare. While the flush itself went completely fine, and I felt fine right after, a couple days later I started having gas/bloating at night. So, I started taking all this stuff to fix it (more Epsom Salts , enemas, lots of Oxypowder , activated charcoal, Castor Oil, etc). Early on I had TONS of gas and bloating, had no appetite and was nauseous after eating. I felt like crap.

4 weeks later I'm STILL not better. Castor Oil has been very helpful, but its not getting rid of it. After enough time has passed, the trapped gas/bloating comes back -- much more problematic at night.

As for stress, I'm always stressed, but my #1 life stressor is THIS...not just normal day to day stuff.

So that's my history. I got a comprehensive stool test done about a year ago that showed low SiGA, my lack of ability to break down fats (tho I do take enzymes) and non existant lactobacillus (dspite taking excellent probiotics for years...)

Oh and lastly I should add, I've been seeing an ND for years...I work with him over the phone. I got a recommendation from someone on the candida Diet Forum , and I think hes amazing and very knowledgable about all this. I think he's helped but sometimes I don't think hes aggressive enough as this is still not fixed, and now my guess is that the Liver-Flush stirred up parasites that were hiding..
