Greetings:

I am 67 and have been flushing for about a year now. Olive oil didn't work for me until I started taking 1 1/4 cup per flush. Now I take 1 1/2 cup because I get a heaping 1/2 cup of stones instead of 1/3 cup with 1 1/4 cup oil. For sure every body is different.

It takes me 2 hours to get all this oil down. I really don't have a problem with it any more. I put 2 tablesp. of lemon juice into a glass and add 3 tablesp. of oil. This way the last thing I taste is the juice. I do this every 15 minutes. I think sipping the oil, like a good wine (hmm) really helps a lot. When I drink too quickly to get it over with I start to gag. Also I have a clinex handy.

I find that if I move much after the oil I don't feel too good. I sit quietly at the computer between drinks. And as soon as I am finished I head for bed. I am already prepared for the night before flush time.

Happy flushings, Giz.

Hi GLG,
Before my first flush I worried that I wouldn't be able to keep the oil down, but guess what, I used a lighter olive oil instead of the dark green, shook it up with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, it mixes nicely, and found it to be tasty and not like drinking straight oil. My recipe (I got it on curezone, called for 1/2 cup olive oil) mixed with 3/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice) I've read post from others that used different oils (hazelnut was one) and the flush worked just fine. Lemon or apple juice will not mix with the oil like the grapefruit, just in case you didn't know.
Hope this from an age 63 youngster helps with your decision. Omie
