Oh wow that's interesting that you clear up when you get sick hmmm .. yea u definately need the flushes ..don't let that one scare you off.. You know now that I think about it? I think i threw up to on my 8th flush. it was my most unsuccessful one. But liver flushes are supposed to help skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis immensely so don't get discouraged about it...I need to do one bad myself ..its been almost a year now. Like you i cant stand the olive oil eek... I have done 12 in 4 yrs ...LOL But ....if you have lecithin everyday? You will never need to flush again they say..that's what the ask barefoot guy says.
