I just finished or should I say finishing my succesful 5th Liver Flush today. I have always followed the Dr Clark protocol and have always used "fresh squeezed" organic red grapefruit with great success.

When you shake the OO (Olive-Oil) with the GF juice it emulsifies and mixes real well and makes a mix that I actually find tasty in contrast to all the people who "WHINE" about the taste of the oo.

Here is a cut and paste of the Dr. H. Clark protocol with GF substituted for the H2O. The colder the juice the better to help mask the ES taste.


*********************************************



1/2 CupOlive Oil Extra-Virgin (= 1.25 dl)

5 or 6 Big grapefruits (I prefer the red or pink type)

4 tablespoon Epsom Salts = ( MgSO4 + 7H2O)

( Epsom Salts = Magnesium Sulphate = EPSOMITE = Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate)

3 cups fresh squeezed grapefruit juice (=750 dl=24 oz)
note: Actually 4 cups(1 quart=32oz) if you include the juice to mix with the oo.(P.S .!! 1 cup = 250 ml = 2.5 dl = 0.25 l )


*********************************************


I substitute 3(4) cups of GF juice instead of the H2O sugested in the original Clark recipie. The GF juice is not necesary it is used only to mask the somewhat unpleasant taste of Magnesium Sulphate( = Magnesium Sulfate = Epsom Salt = MgSO4 + 7H2O) ]

[If using lemon juice, do not blend juice with oil.
Drink little oil, little juice, from 2 differnt cups.


If you mix oil with lemon juice, it may (it doesn't happens always) sligtly congeel, and get a slimy consitence that is not easy to swallow. It may become slimy.

It never happens with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice!]


********************************************


Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day.

Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success. Stop the parasite program and kidney herbs too, the day before.

Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal with fruit, fruit juice, bread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk), baked potato or other vegetables with salt only. This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones.

2:00 PM.

Do not eat or drink after 2 o'clock. If you break this rule you could feel quite ill later.

Get your Epsom Salts ready. Mix 4 tbs. in 3 cups GF juice and pour this into a jar.


This makes four servings, 3/4 cup each. Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only).

6:00 PM.

Drink one serving (3/4 cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts. If you did not prepare this ahead of time, do it right now. You may also add 1/8 tsp. vitamin C powdered to improve the taste. You may also drink a few mouthfuls of water afterwards or rinse your mouth. Get the olive and grapefruit out to warm up.

note: I have always mixed the fresh GF juice cold with the oil and it has always emulsified into a tasty mix

8:00 PM.

Repeat by drinking another 3/4 cup of Epsom salts. You haven't eaten since two o'clock, but you won't feel hungry. Get your bedtime chores done. The timing is critical for success; don't be more than 10 minutes early or late.

9:45 PM.

Pour 1/2 cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar. Squeeze the grapefruit by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have at least 1/2 cup, more (up to 3/4 cup) is best. You may top it up with lemonade. Add this to the olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit does this).

Note: I have always used cold GF that I squeezed at the same time as the juice used with the ES with great success.

Now visit the bathroom one or more times, even it makes you late for your ten o'clock drink. Don't be more than 15 minutes late.

10:00 PM.

Drink the potion you have mixed. Take 4 ornithine capsules with the first sips to make sure you will sleep through the night. Take 8 if you already suffer from insomnia. Drinking through a large plastic straw helps it go down easier. [HPS editors note- don't, just stomach the terrible taste...and it is horrendous- be forewarned...but that's part of the cleanse, you can deal with it just like we have]. Take it to your bedside if you want, but drink it standing up. Get it down within 5 minutes (fifteen minutes for very elderly or weak persons).

Lie down immediately. You might fail to get stones out if you don't. The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out. Be ready for bed ahead of time. Don't clean up the kitchen. As soon as the drink is down walk to your bed and lie down flat on your back with your head up high on the pillow. Try to think about what is happening in the liver. Try to keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes. You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no pain because the bile duct valves are open (thank you Epsom salts!). Go to sleep. You may fail to get stones out if you don't

note: I have never used the ornathine and even though I didn't sleep very well on this 5th flush getting only 3 or 4 hours sleep I still had/having a succesfull flush. I'm still pooing stones 6 hours after my last ES&GF drink 7 hrs ago!! ;+D

Next morning. Upon awakening take your third dose of Epsom salts. If you have indigestion or nausea wait unit it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts. You may go back to bed. Don't take this potion before 6:00 AM.

2 hours later.

Take your fourth (the last) dose of Epsom salts. Drink 3/4 cups of the mixture. You may go back to bed.

After 2 more hours you may eat. Start with fresh fruit juice. Half an hour later eat fruit. One hour later you may eat regular food but keep it light. By supper you should feel recovered.

note: On my other flushes I felt quite energetic but I guess that because of the lack of sleep I felt a little pooped(pun intended;+D) and somwhat dehydrated from the ES. About 2 hrs after my last ES drink this morning I chugged down 16oz of some of that new "trendy" (read expensive) clustered water and I immediately felt my energy come back and then almost immediately had another poo and passed a buncha more stones.

In case you missed it on my earlier post I've included a link to a pix I posted earlier today of some of the stones I passed on my third flush.
