Re: ii - L-G Flush interruptus
Friday night , 830 PM, took the first dose of Epson Salts. Generally speaking I'm not an early sleeper so I offset Hulda's schedule by a couple hours give or take. 90 minutes went by, sensations and sounds were coming from the gut, but no serious urge for BM. For comparison, I did the same Hulda flush the week before Thanksgiving, same basic schedule and by 9:30PM was on the toilet with (expected) watery BMs that continued off and on all the way up to the second dose at 10PM and this was followed about 90 minutes later by another round of same that lead right up to the 12PM olive oil & grapefruit juice. That I can remember, every Hulda flush has gone that way. Anyway, back to 2 nights ago, it got to be 90 minutes after the first dose, no BMs seemed to be forthcoming so the second dose was taken 1/2 hour early. Another reason for taking early was because I was feeling sleepier than usual and was not sure I could easily stay awake past midnight. 60 minutes after second dose (11pm), was feeling tantalizingy on the brink of urge for BM, but none came. The olive oil & juice was also taken early (around 11:20 PM). A cap full of dewormer was included, chugged all down and in bed immediately after, lying on the right side for about 1/2 hour, then drifed off to sleep sort of wondering why this flush seemed to be going a bit differently.
7:30 AM I awoke due to either A) somebody knocking on my front door or B) dreaming that somebpody was knocking on my front door. I staggered down stairs, checked the front door - nobody - , checked the back door - nobody, let the dog out for a few minutes, went back up stairs, stopping by bathroom (urinated) then went back to bed. Did not go back to sleep but was able to lie & rest while waking up moreso on what normally passes for my terms. 8:10 AM, out bed and awake for good this time. Back down stairs, fed the dog, then took
Epsom Salt dose #3 at 8:20. Went back up stairs to lie in bed while awaiting butt pea. A half hour went by and although there was no significant urge for BM, I went to toilet, sat down and within a few moments had a normal (mostly formed) BM but could not really see any gunk outside of the normal BM gunk except this one was an odd shade of orangish purple.
I fell asleep the previous night trying to think what, if anything, I had done differently with this flush. Only two things came to me. 1) I had a good 45 bicycle ride early afternoon Friday; 2) the only food I had Friday morning thru noon was raw juice from
juicing carrots, celery, apples and beet (2, small, with tops). The last meal eaten Friday was some cooked oats with a bit of cane
Sugar around 4PM. While I can imagine that #1 may have set me up to be more quickly dehydrated from the first 2 courses of
Epsom Salts , I otherwise don't know how to account for the lack of watery BMs through the first 2 doses of
Epsom Salts .
Anyway, after taking the third dose Sat morning followed by a mostly normal BM, a brief round of butt pea followed about 30 minutes later. The chaff, stones, sludge, flukes, etc, all came out a pretty shade of orangish-purple. Compared to 2 weeks ago, there was markedly less gunk overall, but gunk nonetheless. By 1 hour after dose #3 Sat morning I decided to take dog for his morning walk, thinking that perhaps this might help get me flowing a bit better.
Got outside with dog and while observing the season's first snow flakes , walked around the corner to begin the first leg of walk. Pastor Jim from nearby no-denomination chapel had just pulled in at his make-shift parsonage that he's turned into a sort of neighborhood center. We said hellos, chatted a bit, he was getting ready to help a friend move from one neaby apartment to a closer apartment. We parted, dog and I continued walking. About 15 minutes later, dog and I came out of the small park that is on the edge of town.
Pastor Jim lives beside the park and had just returned to his house after having spoken to me earlier on the other side of the small neighborhood. A little over a year ago Jim and gang had done me a tremendous favor. They helped me unload a truck loaded full of my stuff. It had taken the previous 1.5 days for me to load it by myself, and this had been the second move I'd made in the previous 30 days. By the time I got my truck full of stuff to Jim's neighbhorhood, I was exhuasted. Jim and gang had me unloaded in less than 45 minutes.
As dog and I exited the park, Jim came by and asked if I'd like to help him move the sister of his friend. I contemplated, about 2 seconds, and told Jim I needed about 2 hours to finish up something I had to get done, after which I'd like to help him move his friend's sister. He said fine. Dog and I then continued our walk and got back to the house around 10:45 AM. Given the circumstances, I decided to omit the 4th round of
Epsom Salts and instead went right to the next planned step;
coffee enema topped off with garlic water enema.
From the moment the clasp on the enema tube was opened, it took 7 minutes to get 32
ounces from the bucket to inside me at 10:54 AM. I don't remember ever before making note of how long it took from the moment the clasp was opened till 30 to 40
ounces of enema solution were inside me, so maybe it was because I was now sort of in a hurry that 7 minutes seemed like a long time. Then I began wondering if, maybe, technically, those 7 minutes counted against the suggested 15 minutes for retaining the CE... ? Erring on the safe side, I retained round 1 till 11:09, during which there had been only a few brief moments of cramping urge (gas bubbles) that subsided without event. Expelling
Coffee-Enema round #1 actually produced more gunk, stones, chaff, bugs, etc, than did the aforementioned BMs, and while it was markedly browner, there was still the distinct purplish orange hue to it all...... I really was impressed with the staying power of the color of those carrots and beet juiced the day before ! :)
By 11:25 I was back on the floor starting to pipe
Coffee-Enema round 2 into myself. It began with approx 8
ounces of remaining coffee solution, and when that was nearly gone 8 ounces of garlic water (filtered) was poured into the bucket. I did not put the tube in as high... only about 10
inches or so.
Note to self: Garlic Oil, no problem; Garlic Water, near instant urge to expel. I only got about half of the garlic water into before succombing to the urge. The liquid had been inside me approx 3 minutes (was still draining out of the bucket into me) when I got up and sat on toilet. Expelled a little more gunk (same as before), went back to floor, reassumed the position and finished putting the garlic water inside me. Was able to hold on to this second dose of garlic a little longer than the first, but not much longer. There seemed to be a few more
parasites / flukes expelled with it and the bright orangish purple huew was finally starting to fade. By 12 noon the bathroom was tidied up, enema bucket & tube cleaned, Ohfor cleaned / showered and out the door where I then spent the next 4 hours moving furniture, thorugh light snow showers that lasted throughout. After the sweating in the cold from moving furniture in a mild snow storm that iself followed immediately on the heals of a somewhat aborted L-G flush, I feel pretty good... for now. (its now 320 AM Sunday). Still not sure why if there is any reason why the L-G flush produced so much less water than expected.....maybe this just one of those things known to happen some times? I'm not worried about it, just curious that this is the first time its happened for me. Thats all for now.
