I am considering doing another Liver Flush but this time instead of doing just olive oil and lemon was contemplating the Epsom Salt added to it BUT in reading further articles on the web came across one expressing not to use Epsom Salts as this will permantely damage part of the intestines.TRUE OR FALSE?
If true perhaps one can use cascara senna instead.

This is a reply to # 439,144As yet i havent used any Epsom Salts because the previous liver cleanse only involved olive oil and lemon juice but i must admit it still made me pass my gallbladder stones.I think I still have more to move but my previous cleanse made me sick (threw up 4 times)and have since been told that I shouldnt have drunk water together with the olive oil.Mind you it was the only way to stop me dry reaching whilst swallowing the oil.

MoreThis is a reply to # 439,144I have done 2 Liver Cleanses including Epson salt. I have tolerated it well. The secret to it is, use a juice e.g. best is grape fruit. I mixed 4 table spoons in 4 glasses of Grapefruit. I did the same with the olive oil in a shaker. Alternate to grapefruit is apple juice. Good luck

This is a reply to # 439,142Hi Andy!
Actually, Epsom Salt is VERY good for you. You can take a tablespoon of Epsom Salt if you are constipated and you won't be stopped up anymore!
Or you can do what I do and take a little bit everyday. It's magnesium, you know and that's good for you. It keep my heart beating properly. I take 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon every day. Lillian posted not too long ago of an elderly friend who had always taken 1 teaspoon of Epsom Salt in the morning and another teaspoon before she went to bed.
When I first began taking epsom salt, I could NOT stand the taste. Not, I'm used to it and my body craves it!

This is a reply to # 439,150wow Paulette, that must have taken some serious conditioning to get your body to *crave* Epsom Salts ! i almost hurl everytime i physically see the container i have. i get the kind of headaches from that stuff that makes me wonder if its causing some type of brain damage. i guess if i forget/can't figure out how to work velcro that will be the first sign that something bad is happening.
in all seriousness its good to know that they aren't dangerous. - Re: EPSOM SALTS (DANGEROUS)? Dee

This is a reply to # 439,150Regarding your message about taking Epsom Salts every day. I agree with you that it seems harmless and especialy in that small amount. And that it is magnesium and we don't get enough of that in our diet anymore. May I ask who Lilian is and where I can find that information about ES? And are you still taking the ES?
Thanks for any info from you or anyone else. Dee

This is a reply to # 439,142Senna and cascara sagrada are more damaging to the intestines...the only problem with Epsom Salts ...or anything else that gives you prolonged diarrhea...is dehydration and possible electrolyte imbalance. Both of these are easy to prevent or correct...just make sure that you are always well-hydrated and use an easily absorbed mineral supplement that includes trace minerals.
BTW...I think the main reason you were nauseous with the last flush is because you ate too late prior to drinking the oil...you need to eat fat-free the day of the flush and fast for a good 6-8 hours before you drink the oil mixture. That much oil on top of a recent meal would make anyone wretch!- Re:PTree, how is that? Emmy

This is a reply to # 439,159PTree,
How is it that senna & cascara sagrada are more damaging? Just wondering because I usually take 1 cascara sagrada capsule every night before bed. Have done this for a couple of years. Is this amount enough to do damage? Thanks for the info,

This is a reply to # 439,176Senna, cascara sagrada, cape aloes, etc. are all herbal laxatives that are in a class that work by creating irritation to the intestinal lining resulting in the rapid expulsion of the contents of the intestines. In as little as a week of regular use this can result in a weakening of the bowel muscle which disrupts normal peristalsis and can lead to laxative dependence. There are OTC and prescription laxatives that work in this same manner. Other types of laxatives such as magnesium preparations, salt flushes, etc. work by using a different mechanism...but can have their own complications when used frequently. Avoid the regular use of laxatives and address the underlying causes of constipation.

This is a reply to # 439,177Hi Zule...I'm glad you're getting Holistic Horizons. People who experience constipation with the b&p's usually have excellent bm's on the HH (without there being any laxatives in them - yay!).
I guess you have read that post of Ptree's that said that 90% of seratonin (happiness chemical - don't know if you're familiar with that word in your language!) is synthesized in the gastrointestinal tract...so it follows that once you clean yourself out...your Depression will lift...?
Have you read the following articles?
Journey to the Center of the Colon
Last Resort
New West Diet
It will make things clearer, I think.
Post again and let us know how you're doing...mabye PTree will have some good food ideas for you. (your diet sounds pretty good) Are you drinking at least 2 litres of water a day? (warm only!) Actually a number of people find the guidlines for the 'blood type' diet quite accurate. When they don't eat the 'avoid' foods they notice they feel better. You might want to look into that too - if you know what your blood type is.
I've gotta run now...hopefully you're get some more answers here....

This is a reply to # 439,142Epsom Salts is very safe and recommended by my doctor. I do not like the taste so I buy empty gel capsules and fill them with Epsom Salts and take mine that way. It's great for a detox but also great to use few times a week for the vitamin benefits and it helps with muscle pain from fibromyalgia.
