but it will be different for everyone! i started cleansing about 2 months ago. it will be a lifelong project! i am that inspired by my results so far. my cleanse plan originated from two needs: 1. to detox, cleanse and flush my whole body - to go towards the perfection of ’natural health’ (and natural beauty!!) 2. to complete my plan with all natural (and therefore CHEAP) ingredients, with a minimum of commercial supplements. these are the principles i followed, from reading and experience (copied from another of my posts in bowel cleanse forum): 1. supporting and improvin ...

you are right, they do not solve the problem. most things on curezone dont! including herbs, supplements etc. but all these things including enemas and colonics can assist in detox if used correctly. having said that, something such as a coffee enema can actually come close to solving a problem, since it can release stones (personal experience) and give the liver a boost of the enzymes/factors it needs for detoxing. normal enemas aid the bowel to eliminate toxins released from cleansing. the whole aim of detox is for the body to be able to heal itself so if we can use things to aid t ...

you could do an enema, if you have a enema kit. that would help get the stuff out! i find coffee enema especially useful since its good for the liver too. did you do bowel cleansing before you did the flush, or were you constipated? i believe this can cause you to feel bloated and not able to have a BM after a flush. apart from enema, and smooth move i have read that magnesium supplements can help get things moving. i dont have personal experience but many here take magnesium citrate. i dont know about taking more magnesium on top of epsom salts though, i dont know if that would be a ba ...

do you have someone to talk to about this if you need 23201? it can be helpful to find someone you trust to go through things, it can help the confusion. when you are in the situation, it is hard to tell what is ’ok’ and what is not, what is ’abuse’ and what is not. especially if there is a lot of manipulation involved.   [End]
