Dear Afraid,

If you are afraid to do this cleanse, then it may not be time for you to do it. Start with some spiritual and emotional cleansing/healing first. Your inner wisdom will then be awake and accessible to you. It is you inner wisdom that will tell you when and if this cleanse is necessary for you and your fear will dissipate and be replaced with the serenity of peaceful knowing. This cleanse may not be for everyone and for every challenge there is always more than one solution. Let your truth guide you. Peace.

I did my first Liver Flush last year-and boy was I terrified. I'd had about 3 attacks of back pain that each lasted for about 3 days in a very short time.

I approached the cleanse with trepidation-I am a paraplegic with no voluntary control over the lower half of my body.

It went really well and I didn't end up in a mess as I'd feared.

I was cured of the pain for over a year-then it struck again last week.

I was petrified to do it again-and honestly it went so much better.

I took 4 teasp fulls of epsom in apple juice-followed by a big chunk of chocolate (sorry folks) at 6pm. I visited the toilet before the next dose at 8pm-when I took the same potion.

Again I visited the toilet.

At 10pm I took the oil and grapefruit. I did a huge cup-but couldn't manage the last inch of it-that was the worst bit. Then more choccy.

Another visit to the loo-then bed. Got up at midnight-loo again

Then went to sleep about 1am. Woke about 2am-with indigestion and the burps. Stayed in bed till 3am-got up to go the loo- found son in the kitchen cooking sausages nearly made me sick. This process really heightens your sense of smell. Took a pinch of bicarb in water-and then made a decision that I would sleep as long as I needed.

Woke at quarter to 11-and did the epsom mixture again-this time the stones came tumbling out.

Just kept going to the loo all day-had another sleep about 1-30pm till 3pm-then more stones.

Felt great so got dressed and went to supermarket about 7pm.

Pain has gone-but think I will do another one after New Year.

Why I think this one went better-was the chocolate took away the 'chewing on iron bar 'taste of the epso, which made me retch the first time.

Plenty of visits to the loo-kept my system clear.

Sleeping as long as I needed meant I didn't feel rotten the next day(like I did on the first one-then when I took the epsom at 7am I really felt ill!)

So flushed with success.

I still feel as though there's something niggling around-but certainly nothing like the awful pain I was in.

If I can do it-you can.

Don't be afraid

I just did the cleanse and I am a firm believer. I have had problems with Gallstones for over 15 years and have tried every remedy I could find and without results and some made me sick. I was told several times by doctors to have surgery or I was going to have problems. I was not going to let another quack cut on me again. Just 5 hours after doing the cleanse I was passing stones and feeling better than I have felt in 15 years. It was like somone pulled a knife from my belly, what a relief. So being extreemly sceptical as I am, take it from me, there is nothing to be afraid of. Unless your afraid of feeling better.

I TOTALLY get your fear to do a flush!!! I have been reading for two weeks now and am riddled with physical symptoms that should be addressed by flushing. I am scared silly about feeling sick and being in pain.

Let me know what your progress has been please.

I just wanna let you know i did my first flush two days ago. I kept putting it away becouse i was just as scared as you are. Now i wish i did it long time ago, i got about 200-300 stones out, no pain either - you just have to follow the instructions. I cant wait for my next one. Good luck

I am more than lost. I have been caregiver to my mom, in her 80's, for many many years and because of that have lost my career, half of my teeth, my health, my sanity, etc. and now could even loose my home. She is blind and has dementia, possibly alzheimers-who knows, and heart failure and Arthritis and gout and on and on....now they tell me she has a large gallstone and jaundice and have referred us to a surgeon after getting a catscan.

Been reading here for days and i still do not know what to do. Of course the doctors are of no help and don't even call back and are not even there to answer my questions or concerns.

I don't know if mom can understand well enough to know whether she should get the surgery or not and I don't think i know either. I have started feeding her on apple juice and oatmeal and apples if she will eat them and tea with lots of lemon, some grapefuit juice etc, and other than that plan to keep it pretty bland for a few days while i try to decide if using the olive oil is prudent or dangerous to her. I cannot get her out of bed, but that is not really new, it has been going on for years. She may have alzheimers, i dunno, had a brainscan a month and a half ago and still they have told me nothing at all. When ever i try to find some case management help to do things like help me find answers to anything at all, all they do is call an investigator and try to place mom in a nursing home-this has happened three times and it is most frightening and degrading as i work for nothing at this unpaid job and have done the very best I can alone with no help from anyone of any kind.

Now the same doctors that feed her vixox and landed her in the hospital with heart failure a few years ago this month want to cut out her gallbladder without even showing me the pictures or explaining why first. I am frightened if i start trying to do a flush i can cause some more damage, but i know also that mom will not tolerate surgery well and may not even be able to come home if i give them the go ahead. But things here are already damned complicated and one of the few joys mom seems to have in life is going out to eat, which of course would be over with if she had the surgery i guess. So, like I said, I have started trying to detox her a little with the apple juice diet-she is still not eating much, figuring that could do little harm, but i am more than frightened to know what the next step should be.

I certainly do not want to hurt my mom any more than she has already been hurt, but with the liver and cognitive problems that go along with this the surgery would be dangerous too. I even swallowed a small glass of olive oil myself last night and am on the apple juice as an experimentation. But i am afraid to risk my own mom's life. I think her jaundice is getting better but it is hard to tell since she seldom gets out of bed at all without an extreme struggle. I am also out of sheets, so i better go now, the gall bladder attack coincided with another urinary infection so she is peeing and crapping all over the place and getting her to shower has been a struggle for years now. If anyone has ever been in a similar situation and has any prudent advice PLEASE help.

I too was scared to do the liver/gallstone flush thing. But I just did it last night and it was OK. Since that I have a sour stomack, I was scared to take the epsome salts. So what I did was to start off with the Classic Coke Cleanse. I will tell you that the Coke kills the taste of the olive oil and anything else. When I went to sleep I was scared that I was going to puke. But I really didnt feel any after effects when I was sleeping. In the moning I saw all a lot of green pellets in the toilet.

i to am woried about doing a cleanse i have gall stones but doctor said it was smal ones and if i can cope just leave it for the moment If it gets worse then he'll do gallbladder removal.I would be keen on the cleanseing but is it safe i had a big stroke 7 year ago,but i'm not to disabled so would it be safe for me.

Thank you.

I felt great after my first liver cleanse. waited three weeks and repeated it. Here is what I learned. don't over do it, too soon and too fast. listen to your body and if you feel discomfort back off and let your body recover. the second flush I felt bad for a while and it disrupted my menstral cycle 10 days and asymptomatic pains in my liver and abdoman.I also had terrible acid reflux and its symptoms. My doctor told me that I was fine except for the reflux which we could slowly cure. I let my panic & worry get the best of me (that i might have done something damaging to myself). There is absolutely nothing toxic about taking Epsome salts, grapefruit and olive oil, If you are generally healthy. However you can send various internal valves and spincter muscles in to spasm with all the magnesium. My nutritionist said I had activated my liver that it wasn't pain that i was feeling more so than it was working hard and I was aware of it. It took about 2 weeks to get back to normal. I know I'm getting healthier with every little step. I follow Dr. D'Adaimos eat right 4 your blood type, and I always check recipies and herb lists according to my blood type tolerance. I'm glad I did the liver cleanse but I'm not going to over do it either. You did not build up your toxins overnight nor can you get them out in one night. Just like any weight loss program it takes time. If you feel discomfort you haven't damaged your self but you need to back off and let your body's healing process catch up with you. I'm 40 years old and I'm trying to redeem myself of all my old induldgences (ie: can,boxed food,soda,cigarettes,bourbon,chips, you get the idea) You can clean your body up just have common sence, not too fast or too strong and listen to your body. It has the miraculas power to heal itself if you feed it the proper nutritional foods & vitamines. The liver is the only organ capable of regeneration. Its all good ! God bless you for healing yourself! Just don't expect instant gratification immediatley.

Hi, I flushed over night last night. I have an anxiety disorder and certainly was afraid of everything but I also knew that I did not want to go to the hospital to have my gall bladder out which would have been more devestating to me. Well although tired, I really do feel very well and haven't for a long time. I was shocked since I was a bit skeptical, to see all of the sludge and stones that came out of me. There was no pain at all, I followed the directions although I didn't use the two ingredients they suggested to sleep and to help the liver function.I have an ultrasound on Friday and am anxious how many more are in there since so many came out including a larger darker one that I did not expect. I will do this again so please it is okay honestly!

I'm going to tell you to RUNNNNNNN! from anyone whom is telling you to do this. I did this by the book last night and I am still suffering from IT!

Three hours later I woke to throw up. If you can imagine what it feels like throwing up a 1/2 cup of oil which burns because the citrus fruit that was added. Yes I passed these green nuggets, but this is from the oil and citrus acid, plus bile.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT SEND IT TO A LAB! DONT BE FOOLED!

I was sick until about 4am. I finally woke up the next day at 2pm completely drained and exhuasted. The dark circles under my eyes has gotten worse and feel terrible. I'm pissed because I actually think drinking that much oil damaged my liver. I feel stopped up and have pain in my side and still feel very ill.

DO NOT DRINK THAT MUCH OIL!!!! YES COMMON SENSE TOLD ME SO, BUT I DIDN'T LISTEN! I AM REGRETING IT BADLY!

This over loads your body and causes it to not function well. It may take me months of healing to get over this stupid mistake.

If this DR was a male around my age I would fly to where he was and kick his @$$ because of the condition i'm in now.
