Hey,
I did my first liver cleanse on Saturday. I chose to do the 1 pint olive oil flush, it was disgusting but then i guess i wasn't expecting it not to be. The knock on effect seems to be the following;
1) my stools are now extrememly pale in colour
2) i have not had any bowel movemnets for 2 days when 2 movements a day was previously normal 4 me
Is this normal or should i be concerned do u think? Also when would be the right time to do the next cleanse, can you do weekly cleanses until u feel better or is it best to leave two weeks or more inbetween?
Thanks for any advice.- Re: Little bit worried Southern Belle

This is a reply to # 65,768You did not mention taking the Epsom Salt or lemon or grapefruit juice. If you failed to take the Epsom Salt lst to clean yourself you BEFORE taking the olive oil (and hopefully, the grapefruit and/or the lemon mixed in with that) you can't expect results.
The Epsom Salt is to be taken the night before and the morning after.
That is VERY important!!
I would try the liver cleanse again as soon as possible. I do recommend Dr. Clark's "recipe." She is my leader and has had much more experience.
Best of luck to you and always, good health!!!- Thanks Sally

This is a reply to # 65,770Yep sorry i wasn't more detailed i just know that long posts can be a little tiresome at times ;-). I followed the following flush directions;
<1 pint Olive-Oil Cleanse
INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
Epsom Salts - 3-4 tablespoons
Distilled Water - at least 90 ounces
Freshly pressed Lemon Juice (20 tablespoons)
Olive Oil Virgin (Cold Pressed; Virgin Olive Oil) - at least 1 pint
Maintain an EMPTY STOMACH SIX to eight hours before proceeding with the cleanse. You may drink water. [After your noon meal, for example, fast until 6-8 p.m., then begin the cleanse]
HOWEVER, One hour before beginning the cleanse, place 3-4 tablespoons of Epsom Salts in a 10 oz. glass of distilled water - drink ALL.
In an 8 oz. glass put 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Then add the juice of two lemons (or 2 tablespoons of 100% pure lemon juice) and fill glass with distilled water. You will need 90 (should be 10) glasses of this mixture. According to what is most convenient to you, you may prepare 10 glasses of the mixture in the beginning or re-mix each glass of water, oil and lemon juice every 15 minutes.
Drink one glass of the mixture every 15 minutes until you have drunk 10 glasses of mixture. To offset the taste, place a small amount of pure maple syrup on the tip of your tongue when drinking mixture. Also it helps to drink through a straw.>
I really found the flush difficult, i know now this is because i did few things wrong, such as eat a meat based meal before the fasting period. Also i have now read some advice on how to make the flush ingrediants more palatable, epsoms salts are just disgusting lol.
I am gladto report i have normal stoold this morning, and i believe one of the reasons i wasn't back to normal for days afterwards is i wasn't really eating very much at all. Good for he waistline i guess!
Next time im going to look out for stones etc, also fast for a longer time i think. I will do one this weekend and then leave 2 week gaps, thanks for yr help.

This is a reply to # 65,768I have to agree with the Belle -- try the Clark recipe (with only 1/2 cup oil) instead.
As to extremely pale in color and a lack of bowel movements, that is a bit odd. I don't want to panic you or anything, but no, that isn't normal.
(As an aside, I tried the "cream and berries" flush [forget what it's called]) and had blond stool, including chunks of blond colored strawberries, as a result. But that soon passed. It lasted less than a day. I was not impressed with that flush, although I loved the cream and berries part. *grin*)
Since we don't know exactly what you did for your flush, or how you did it, I don't know if you used, say, Epsom Salt as part of your flush. This is pretty important -- at least, it is to me. The fasting for a few hours is, too, and taking Epsom Salt the day after (to help flush out what the liver and gallbladder have been pushing out) is needed, too.
My advice (I am not a doctor -- yadda, yadda) is to do another flush using the Clark method instead, at your earliest convenience. At least, this is what I would do in your situation. (Have you done any colon cleansing? That might be helpful...)
In general, two weeks between cleanses is easier on your system. Until you feel comfortable with cleanses, I would ordinarily advise against doing them "weekly" or more often. (Then again, yours is an unusual case, and my suspicion is that your cleanse wasn't sufficiently thorough, and thus there may be some blockage somewhere that didn't get flushed properly. But, again, I am not a doctor, and this is a guess based on very limited information.)
Good luck!
