I can only answer this from personal experience...but then that is often far closer the truth than scientific reasoning...:)


I did my 3rd flush using large quantities of Japps Health salts which certainly cleared my bowels...but I had negative results regarding stones (not a stone in sight...which kind of negates the olive oil soap theory!) and was in terrific pain for a week afterwards. I decided to do another flush a week later (still in pain) and did it with the Epsoms as I had before.

Successful results and the pain vanished. Now, I decided that I had gotten a stone stuck in the Japps flush and that was why I was in constant pain afterwards...believe me, I felt really bad.


Conclusion: I will never flush without my Epsoms again! No way do I want THAT pain again.


But, I also have to add that we are all different and I have no doubt that just as some people have larger pores than others, so some have wider bile ducts than others...in which case, there may be no need to dilate them further.

Y'know, scientists and pharmacists come up with all these amazing drugs to cure this and that, but we can't ALL take the same drugs...they have different effects on different people.

My son can't take penicillin - it would kill him - but I can.

Same thing for the flush...it's a question of finding out what works best for you. Some people have no need for the Epsoms...I do.

I put my story, details of the flush I did and links to other pages here:
