Overall info "Side effects of Liver cleansing" (for Anne & most all liver cleansers) Re: help/advice someone
Anne & everybody -
Let's see if we can't get this all cleared up and get everybody some "liver learning". Anne, you should DEFINITELY print this off and hang copies wherever you need them!
Firstly, a bit of history about Anne_33, between all her past posts on CZ, having her gallbladder cut out , her past drinking, everything I've learned when helping her personally (before the forum opened), AND her past allopathic & naturopathic diagnosis...we can safely assume that her liver is basically a congested mess (and she knows she has liver flukes). She should be doing daily coffee enemas & nightly castor oil packs consistently, and should be doing full liver flushes every week (or every other week)...along with as much foot reflexology, "liver TLC" and 'morning liver drinks' as she can fit in. As soon as she can tolerate herbs, she should be taking 3-5 tablespoons of ground milk thistle seed powder, parasite herbs and using the liver tea & liver tincture along with her morning flush drinks. Depending upon her diet, how consistent she is with juice fasting and other healing/parasite protocols, and how 'clean' she eats & drinks, in cases like this, 30-40 total liver flushes is not unheard of to 'get back to normal' (of course, if we do 'full programs and stay consistent, much less flushing can be needed).
So YES ANNE, if you & your doctor within are feeling like you need to flush, then FLUSH ON!!
Now then, when our liver is congested and full of flukes, what can we expect when we start stirring it all up, having rotting parasite carcasses in our liver, and start dumping it all into our intestinal tract?
EVERYTHING that Anne has reported that she experienced today (plus other things that she's not reporting). Attention Anne/Everybody....THIS. IS. NORMAL. ...and it is no reason to break a healing juice fast, nor is it a reason to panic or be frustrated.
SIDE EFFECTS OF LIVER CLEANSING:
Tiny lil' burpettes and/or big ole belches? Normal
Tiny lil' toots and/or big ole farts? Normal
(either of the above can be substantial enough to kill small birds or animals! lol)
Slight queasiness and/or gut-holding nausea? Normal
Bloating? Normal
Headaches? Normal
Panic/Anxiety at any/all levels? Normal (especially when there are parasite issues)
Shortness of breath - Normal
Brain fog - Normal
Cold hands & feet - Normal
Emotional swings - Normal
Tiredness, fatigue (and exhaustion after a flush) - Normal
Twinges, wiggles, 'biting sensations', vibrations, "gurgles you can feel", dull aches, pain, swelling, discomfortant, tension, "catches", and all varieties of the same (in the red areas below) - Normal
Why is all this normal? Because:
--stale old bile, deposits in the liver of waxy/greasy debris, biliary sludge, liver/gallbladder stones, and rotting/dead parasite carcasses are toxic (sometimes extremely so) and disruptive to the digestive tract. Anything mixed with bile assimilates into the bloodstream VERY rapidly, and poisons/toxins in your bloodstream make you feel bad in any variety of ways. Solution: get it all OUT of your digestive tract as soon as possible! Coffee Enemas are your best friend :)
-- Think of a network of tiny tubes, that are covered inside with layers of junk (some that's formed into globules) with all kinds of 'thick curtains' hanging down into the tubing (liver flukes), and lots of thick sluge. But the bile your 'normal digestion' depends upon has to flow (and has been flowing) through these encrusted tubes for years...and this network of tubes hasn't been cleaned for your whole life. The bile gets through it all somehow, but it's flow is limited already (or else you probably wouldn't be cleansing your liver)...So you've started to loosen everything up and push it out (a little bit at a time). And what happens? ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!! You can have an increase in the flow of healthy bile, feel better, poop better, dump a bunch of toxic emotions and be soaring through your day...eat a salad (or eat nothing), and all of a sudden your 'liver engine of tubes' get's a tiny lil' clog somewhere (or several 'somewheres') and then hardly any bile gets through (so whatever is in your digestive tract isn't getting digested and your intestines aren't being triggered by bile to squeeze). And that turns you into a "Burpy Urpy Machine". It's logical and it's NORMAL. And Coffee Enemas are still your best friend!
IF#1 & IF#2 helps adsorb the toxins from your bloodstream AND from inside your digestive tract. IF#1 keeps it all moving.
Ginger is the strongest anti-nausea herb on the planet (except for cannabis), and it increases the flow of bile
The Liver Tea is based on an ancient digestive remedy (very soothing for BUMmers) :::grin:::
Peppermint leaf and/or Fennel seed tea are also very soothing and de-gassing
Extra Bentonite or Activated charcoal (than what already in the IF#2) adsorb even more toxins (but can be a bit constipating)
Pure water dilutes and helps flush away toxins
Putting a few drops of the bitter Liver/GB tincture on your tongue every few hours triggers your liver to create/expel good healthy bile (and some 'stale' might come out with it)
Garlic increases bile flow, but can cause more Burpy Urpy
Castor oil packs are very "decongesting" and extremely soothing.
Cayenne is a good herb for anxiety, but the powder isn't very "soothing" to the digestive tract (hence tincture is best for anxiety) Bentonite/charcoal helps adsorb toxins from critters.
******
If you experience any/all of these things, there is nothing "wrong" with you! You are NORMAL. Your liver just REALLY needs your help (it certainly had your help getting congested, eh?).
Flush ON!
