Re: New flusher anxiety and questions... please help.
1. Depending on your age, health, diet, everyone is different. You are supposed to flush until you have 3 consecutive flushes that do not produce stones. Personally, I'll do it for 5.
2. Many here have had their stones analyzed (as indicated on the link below along with many other posts on this forum as well as the liver debate forum) and they are indeed from the liver, kidneys--(when kidney cleansing), gallbladder. You need to read through the FAQ's, Andreas and all the posts in this forum marked with an R, RN and
BSA for more information.

3. Should you go into exteme pain from a large stone then take another dose of
Epsom Salts . It pays to do preparation prior to attempting a flush. I take malic acid twice daily the week prior along with julia changs coptis and chinese bitters
http://www.sensiblehealth.com there are other stone dissolvers you can use:

Some people don't need to flush so much as dissolve stones. Anyone who plans on flushing should dissolve stones as much as possible before sending them thru the bile duct. These are all good options for softening and dissolving stones. You can do just one, but preferably two or more. If you do this thoroughly, you will see more sand and chaffe than stones when you flush.
Drink a gallon of good organic apple juice or country apple cider, however long it takes.
Eat a green or red apple (Fuji are great, not as tart as Granny Smith) every day.
Take one tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar 3x daily. Try adding it to the apple juice, it cuts the tartness.
If you are hypoglycemic or candida challenged, take Malic Acid supplements from the health food store, it's the same as apple juice. 1,000 mg - 2,000 a day for 3-7 days.
Eat one tablespoon of lecithin granules 3x daily for 3-5 days.
Liquid PhosFood, available online for about 7 dollars, is what my naturopathic doctor recommended. Take drops as recommended on the bottle for 4 days, usually 10 drops 3x day.
"Stone Free" by Planetary Formulas, an herbal remedy for kidney and gb stones.
"Gold Coin Grass" by Julia Chang available at
http://www.sensiblehalth.com in Canada for about $30.00. Espensive but effective! Will stop GB pain. Take for 10 days prior to a flush.
4. Most people flush without medical supervision as most of the medical establishment doesn't endorse
Liver Flushing or they'd be out of business.
5. Not me, I'm on flush #12 and feeling better and better with each flush. After flush 9 all my labs were in the normal range (except thyroid) for the first time in 3 years! My doctor flipped as i'm not thin and she was licking her chops trying to get me on meds even prior to lab results........ha, ha.
Good Luck
It's the best thing I've ever done for myself but you must work within your comfort zone....try eating healthy for awhile, taking malic acid capsules, buy a bottle of gold coin grass just in case you have pain or an attack and keep it on hand it will relieve the pain right away....so, i've read........i have never had pain with any of my flushes and neither has my husband but we took 20g or chlorella for a year prior to flushing and all went well. everyone is different. It pays to take precautions and have some back up on hand though just in case.
