Re: Question from a first time flusher (today is the big day)

mike,

i'm feeling great - tho it was not a chronic illness that brought me to flushing. rather, i just wanted to increase my energy level - was feeling a bit 'sluggish'. i've also been radically changing my diet - am transitioning to a RAW vegan diet. i'm not 100% yet but between that & flushing i feel very energized.

the first flush was a breeze . . . the worst part was all of the worry before hand. i didn't have any of the unpleasant side effects others described. well, except, of course the diarrhia :D

i'm also not getting loads of stones out -- only about 20 or so per flush. but then again i'm not into the whole 'go in a collander & count what comes out' thing. on my last one i increased the OO (Olive-Oil) to 150ml & used 250ml of grapefruit juice & that seemed to help. from what i've read it can take a few flushes before stones start moving out.

i'm doing my 4th flush 2nite. i'm planning on using pain water for the epsoms & will use both g.f. & lemon with the oil.

anyway, best of luck to you & keep us posted.

ciao
