My first attempt at the Liver Flush failed to get out any stones so I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out the reason why. I was anticipating and anxious about the flush for a while and not getting gout any stones is kind of a bummer.

In terms of the preparation, my Liver Flush was set for Saturday June 9th. I started preparing the previous Saturday and was taking about 3-4 grams of malic acid per day. For the diet, I was cut out most fats and meats in the beginning and then completely for the last three days. I was basically having a brown rice wrap with lettuce for breakfast from Saturday to Friday. Lunch would be steamed vegetables with plain brown rice cakes. Dinner was steamed vegetables with a small portion of meat from Sat to Mon. I cut out the meat portion for dinner and replaced it with a scoop of raw vegan protein powder on Tues and Wed. For Thursday and Friday, I cut out all protein completely.

On the day of the flush, I ate lettuce with brown rice cakes as my first meal at 11am , and steamed bok choy with rice cakes for my second meal at 4:00 pm. I know the protocol calls for a set schedule, but i pushed everything back 3 1/2 hours because I'm used to sleeping at 1-2am and didn't want to lie awake in case I felt miserable.

As for the flush itself, I took the first dose of Epsom Salts at 9:00pm and was able to tolerate the taste. It did make me feel super bloated however, and some of my joints started hurting but stopped after a while. I took my second dose at 11:30 because i felt super nauseous and bloated form the first dose. The second dose made me feel like my stomach was going to pop so I had to lay down. I took the olive oil/grapefruit mixture at 2:15am when I finally felt like my stomach felt a little more comfortable and went to bed. I was laying in bed for about 20-30 minutes before i fell asleep.

I woke up at 8:00 feeling nauseous and had a watery bowel movement but no stones. I finally woke up at 11:00 with a pretty bad headache. I took my last two doses of Epsom Salts and went to the bathroom over 12 times with no stones whatsoever. There did seem to be a lot of stuff with what I'm assuming was stuff from my colon. I did feel and hear some gurgling sounds after I woke up, but am not sure on the significance of it.

I narrowed the reason for failure down to three possibilities, but want to know what you guys/gals with more experience think:

1. My liver/gallbladder is just that congested. I usually feel contractions in the area. Sometimes it feels like it's trying to squeeze but something is in the way. I was reading that it's possible to require more than one flush to get stones and am wondering if this is the case. If so, what would help in addition to the malic acid?

2. I didn't follow the exact times and timing schedule. I read that the times selected for the flush are ideal because that's when your liver most actively detoxes, but I pushed everything back by 3 1/2 hours because I know I wouldn't be able to sleep by 10 o clock and didnt want to lay there suffering. I also took 2 1/2 hours between does because i was feeling nauseous. Would this have a big impact on the effectiveness of the flush?

3. I get massive headaches if I don't eat often, so to compensate for not eating for the duration. I ate a a little more than usual for lunch on the day of the flush. I also drank water constantly afterwards to make myself not feel hungry. By the time i took the first dose of Epsom Salts , I felt super full. Like to the point where i was going to pop. By the time i drank the second dose and the olive oil/grapefruit mixture, i was really really full. It sort of felt like everything was just in my stomach at the same time. I'm thinking that maybe it was possible that i didn't get to digest everything and a lot of it mixed with each other and was just sitting in my stomach. I guess it would be equivalent to eating before the flush.

These are the three possibilities I came up with although I'm not sure how likely they are. Any input is appreciated. I really want to get the stones out.

On a side note, I'm not sure if it's just a mental thing, but my vision seems a little sharper and I notice certain smells and tastes more (particularly burnt). Also, my stomach area has been gurgling all day.

Thanks!
