ES is not to mess around with. Too much of it can kill you. It does take water from everywhere in the body and dumps it in your colon. Thus you have diarrhea.

I have taken 2 tablespoons by error and did not feel good at all, I passed out and luckily my wife was near the bathroom and ran in and gave me water right away.

I have taken magnesium citrate in many of my flushes. One advantage is, it tastes good. The other is that it comes in 10oz bottles and it clearly says how much to consume in a day. I have had a fill 10oz bottle in one go but did not have any negative effect. It did make me go to the bathroom a lot, though.

I like both ES and Magnesium Citrate, in terms of the results they both gave me in my flushes.

My flush last weekend was done with ES and I yielded about 60 stones and a lot of grit. One stone was 2.5cm x 1.25cm.

Thanks to ES.

To me Mg citrate tastes good, while ES is borderline tolerable. I don't flush per se, with citrate, since I buy it expensive (all is relative, I know) - a pack of 1/2 lb powder CALM for about 40 $ + delivery. (Which is the least expensive I found - unless someone points out less expensive brand? -- anyone?).

1/2 - 1 tsp a day depending on my body's momentary state may be just a supplement quantity or slightly laxative. Will be laxative, if I have had a lot of greens in the previous days.

Once (as adolescent) I had 30 gr of ES in 1/2 l of carbonated water, which gave me the strongest diarrhea in my lifetime. I felt unwell, dehydrated of course with resulting fissures on my rear end and quite unwell. I removed everything in my intestinal tract from the mouth to the bottom in a matter of 4-5 hrs. I don't remember how much water I had, but I think the pharmacy wrote on the pack to drink at least 1 liter of clean water after gulping the solution.

As laxative before fasting I prefer the Chinese dieters' teas. Much smoother experience with arguably better results. Even a Sea Salt flush (1 tsp in 1-2 cups plus clean water, about 1 liter after) to me is more appealing than ES. I use warm water for both ...

I never had any stone passed from LF, even though I've had about 200 ml of OO (Olive-Oil) combined with the rest of full (apples and all, Mg of course) Liver-Flush protocol in the culminating flush (Starting with 30 ml initially, then 60, then 120 then the 200 ml in 1 week spacing as per Ayurveda-therapist). I only had pea size, soft green bile aggregates which floated. Not too many either. The next 2 days there was green color to the apple-only-meals, in the stool. ... I don't find that Liver-Flush do anything for me. Maybe mini-flushes with 1 tbsp OO (Olive-Oil) with 1/2 lemon in the mornings could be a good maintenance for me. Liver-Flush exhaust me and I don't feel better after them. Whereas fasting clearly makes my digestion better.
