My First Liver Flush
I finally did Dr. Clarke's
Liver Flush protocol and very glad I did. An ultrasound showed a 3mm gallstone and a 7mm polyp. I have an appointment with a surgeon on Tuesday and I wanted to do a flush before that to see if my symptoms improve. I had been having heavy bloating and gas and discomfort on the right side, which escalated to pain 2 days ago. This was the push I needed to start because I realized that the pain would progressively get worse. 2 days ago when I started having pain in my right side, I decided to stop eating so the next day I drank only fresh fruit juices, no solid food. Right away the pain diminished. The next day I decided to do the flush so I continued to drink only fresh fruit juices and some water (not much). That day I was particularly tired so I was worried it would affect my flush but I was determined to start. Here's what happened: I followed Dr. C's instructions almost to a tea, except for the following: I forgot to stand up to drink down the oil mixture and remembered half way thru (not sure if this had any affect) and I took only 3 ornithine tablets) this was bad because I was up all nite to bear the intermittent nausea all nite. The
Epsom Salts worked and 1 hour after the first drink, it cleaned me out. 3 hours after the oil mixture I had a small movement. There wasn't very much bowel movement only liquids but when it was complete I was so excited to see a bowl full of green peas( I won't call them stones because they were not hard). Was this the oil cause no other green peas appeared later in my movements? Intermittently throughout the nite I was nauseated. I got out of bed at 7 a.m. and took #3 ebsom salt drink and at 9a.m. I took the last salt drink. From then on up to 3 p.m. I was miserable (I think it was because I didn't get any bmovement only the one at 1 a.m) and all that
Epsom Salt was bloating me up again. Slowly I started feeling normal again and the rest of the day I had diarrhea into the early evening. (this didn't bother me so much because I was glad all this liquid was being released from my body.) On the first diarrhea I saw what looked like dark brown pebbles floating(not sure if they were stones but they were not hard). All the other movements showed no stones or peas. I had a light dinner and tried to sleep but couldn't so decided to write this message. Comments: I had no pain thru the whole process, only nausea. The
Epsom Salt drink was yukky (decided to mix apple juice instead of water as someone else had done here on the forum next time-I had the hardest time drinking done #4 drink) The oil and grapefruit drink was yummy I think because I was hungry after 2 days w/o eating. Can someone tell me how to avoid all that nausea and diarrhea or is this normal. I want to do my next flush in 2 weeks. I will keep in touch to let you know the results of my next ultrasound--if any improvement or not. Right now I feel so good--I don't know if is a result of the flush or because I haven't really eaten normally. No heavy feeling or pain in my gallbladder or maybe its too early to tell. Keep you all posted. Thank you Blueduck, Spirit, Ana and everybody who encouraged me along the way. Thank you everyone else who had sent messages as I had tried to read as much as I could before hand. It wasn't bad at all!! Thanks Dr. Clarke!!
