Re: Does it get better with practice?

Sorry your wife had such a rough time. There are things to make it easier.
It is important not to have any food or drink for the last 8 hours, except the Epsom Salts drinks.
I use almond oil nowadays, much lighter and easier to get down than olive oil, with absolute same results. (I have also tried flushes with walnut oil, lighter than olive oil, but still stronger tasting than almond oil). I mix the oil with the fresh pressed grapefruit juice and drink the whole thing, standing beside my bed, quickly down with a thick straw.In betwen gulps I take valerian tincture and ornithine capsules to help with sleep. Chase it all with a Tbs. of apple or grapefruit juice, then quickly rinse mouth with baking soda, and immediately lie down on right side and DON'T move for at least 1/2 hour. This is important. The less I move after drinking down the O/G mix, the less nauseated I get. I put a heating pad under my right side and listen to some real slow and soothing relaxation music, may do some deep breathing if I get a little nauseated.
That's it.
Wishing your wife great success.
