Thanks, everybody. I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to back off--I’m down to 1-1/2 tsp IBA and 1/2 tablet twice a day. Maybe that will ease things along--I’ll let you know. p.s. Lots of water and no junk of any kind goes into this temple! Just trying to undo years of less-than-ideal behavior.   [End]

Cleansing is definitely an investment--time, money, and lots of energy! I’m sure you’ll find it to be worthwhile. My constipation came about a week and a half after increasing the dosage. It isn’t painful, so I haven’t decreased again since the instructions said that mild constipation is to be expected. The thing is that it’s been lasting SO LONG! I’ve rarely ever been irregular. I’ve been on a whole food/candida-unfriendly diet for 10-1/2 months. No sugar, refined carbohydrates, gluten, fruit, or dairy. I’m just trying to figure out when I should take action on this problem ...

I have been using HH for over five weeks. I’m on level ’F’--2tsp IBC & 1 pill 2x/day. About ten days after starting this level I began experiencing mild constipation. This has never, ever been a problem for me on previous P&B cleanses. I thought it was temporary, but nothing’s happening!! I only have 1 movement a day on my own, and do an enema every other day to keep things going a little. NOTHING after five weeks--certainly not the 4-5 stools/day the literature refers too. Anyone else have similar experiences with Holistic Horizons? Should I try a different bulking agent, or dec ...

Since I’ve been on a whole foods/non-allergenic diet and doing other various cleanses, I’ve noticed that my previously beautiful fingernails have all been growing in with much more sever ridges, and a couple of them have been getting little indentations, like pock-marks. Any ideas on this one? The really bad fingernails are the first finger on the right hand and the middle on the left, for whatever reason. Deficiencies? Toxins? Thanks, Emily   [End]

The bitter melon I’ve bought is HUGE--like a bumpy cucumber on steroids. It’s the size of a big eggplant, only not as curvy. Yes, it is horrific to taste. Actually, I got used to it. I cut the melon in half lenth-wise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Then I either chew it in frong of the T.V. or on my way to work, so my mind is distracted from the fact that I’m eating something not-too-pleasant. I usually eat two halves a day, but the book ”Prescriptions for Natural Healing” recommends between one and two bitter melons a day for 7-10 days, and then repeating two months later.

Do you have an asian market near you? Supposedly eating a bitter melon every day for ten days or so is supposed to clear them up, plus they’re amazing immune boosters. It helps me off and on, mostly because I keep missing days! I’ve been trying to do this for a month or so.   [End]

How many unsuccessful liver flushes should one do before calling it quits? I’ve had three stoneless flushes in a row. It’s either stopped working for me, or I’m done for now. Any ideas? Emily   [End]

And it was a failure! I vomited it all up in the a.m--it sat on my stomach for eight hours! Yuck. Not sure if it was related to the type of oil. This was the first time I’ve ever vomited during a liver flush. And, no, there were no stones. Since I was feeling so poorly, I didn’t take epsoms in the morning. My waste in the early afternoon was half normal, and the other half was like light green clay, all smushed together. Any ideas? Was it the coconut oil, or just a lousy flush?   [End]

Since the B&P isn’t digestable, it has to come out somehow and in some form. Any idea what it look like when it isn’t part of a stool? Also, I would assume that since the bentonite ”clings” to toxins, it would take on the color of those same toxins. See, everything I’ve been passing COULD be identified as plaque (albeit soft,) however I’m having a hard time explaining where the psyllium went.   [End]

Could someone take a moment to describe how to tell the difference between mucoid plaque and passing psyllium? I’ve been getting thick dark green stuff, but it’s pretty soft and jelly-like. It doesn’t look like the old, hard mucoid plaque images, but I thought it COULD be newer stuff. I’ve done B&P for a few weeks, but I’m fasting now so this is the first time I’ve really noticed this.   [End]

I could use some advice on something I passed during my Friday night liver flush--after epsom, before OO. It was the same consistency as a normal stone, but had a thick off-white exterior and a white powdery core. By the way, this was the only thing that I’ve passed with my past two liver flushes, and I’m veg. juice fasting. Also in the final stages of a candida battle. Any insight appreciated!   [End]

I’m going to start doing some colenemas at home, but don’t have any purification system that can handle 5 gallons. Is it safe to use tap water for an enema that you expel immediately? (I would never use tap for retention) Thanks   [End]

Has anyone experimented with replacing Coconut oil for Olive oil in the flush--or perhaps mixing the two? It’s the fat content that matters, right? Thanks, Emily   [End]

Simple...just don’t look. Flush before you get off the toilet. Only problem is that you don’t get the satisfaction of knowing what you’re cleansing. If you can happily cleanse without the visual proof, you’re good to go. Me, I poke around in there. It’s just too cool! Do you live in Minnesota? I’m in St. Paul.   [End]

My liver is begging for a flush, but I have plans every day and night for weeks. I MIGHT be able to clear this Saturday evening, but I have to be reasonably functional on Sunday. How debilitating can this liver flush be? I know it’s hard to predict, but is there a good chance I’d be feeling OK by noon? I’m a first-timer, and planning on doing the clark recipe and schedule. I’ve been taking P&B shakes for 10 days and have had excellent movement. BTW, I won’t be too far from the toilet! Thanks, Emily   [End]
