Hiya Jana!

Yep, I don't use epson salts, and I still find much benefit to doing the cleanses such as removing all GB/liver pain and indigestion. I was getting awful shoulder pains/burning, and awful abdominal burning especially when hungry before this last series of flushes.

I did, however, flush ten years ago when I had candida, and that's when I got out my stones. So I don't worry so much about getting rid of big stones or gb stones, just liver stones .

The flush recipe I used back then did not require epson salts, it just said that you had to take Liquid Phosfood for a week to ten days before the flush. The basic recipe was to take 1/2 cup OO (Olive-Oil) mixed briskly with 1/2 cup lemon juice, drink it down, repeat in 30 minutes, followed by a nice glass of lemonade 15 minutes later. The lemonade really helped with the nausea etc.

Nowadays, I drink apple juice, eat greenish Fuji apples, take Gold Coin Grass and Coptis, and eat a very low-fat diet for at least 10 days before a flush. I'm going to go back on the diet on Tuesday but probably do a flush on Saturday because it's been like a month or six weeks since my last one. I tend to do just one dosage now, a small one of 3/4 cup oil to same amount of juice and then suck on hard peppermints to settle the stomach. :)

That way, when I flush, I see nothing but chaffe. I don't see any stones, but I've never been one of those people with thousands of stones, I just have liver weirdness. :) It means well, but I've stressed it with a very dificult and emotional childhood. :) I still feel better and experience much weight loss so I don't mind that I don't see stones now. :)

I think digestive enzymes would be very helpful. Don't take any bitters or anything that stimulates the liver even more, it's working ahrd enough.

What helps my digestion the most is a series of deep enemas and P&B shakes. I find that I release a TON of old, dark yellow bile with each flush (that's the advatage of enemas, you can really see all that is released), and if that doesn't get taken out of my large intestine quick then I get hangovers and all kinds of nastyness.

I also recommned that people not take the morning dose of ES but rather do a salt water flush or senna tea, as that is less dehydrating. ES does a lot of different things to your tummy like draw all of the water out of it, and that can be hard to take, bring on nausea, etc.

HOpe that helps! :)
