Subject: My first liver cleanse
Dear List Mates,
Well, I tried it. Here's how my first liver/gallbladder cleanse went, in
point form:
did what the procedure instructed, drinking the oil/grapefruit potion last
night
was up to excrete epsom salt water twice in the first 1.5 hours of retiring
:-(
up four more times during the night do expell salt water
woke up at 5:00 a.m. with nausea which lasted for an hour
fell back to sleep and got up at 7:30 to evacuate bowels, again, and take
second-last drink of salts and just stayed up afterward
began passing small, dark, pea-green stones 1-3 per occasion
I was pretty disappointed that there weren't more stones, not to mention
bigger ones, so I didn't bother to drink the last serving of salts
subsequent movements revealed several tiny, tan coloured stones, probably 25
or so, and I wished I'd had the last serving of salts, but I was already
drinking a beverage and thought better of downing it at that point
my last movement contained several tiny stones and one green one the size of
an elongated dime(the biggest one yet)
All in all, I think I would have done better had I done a parasite cleanse
closer to the flush, and in addition, done the required zapping for a week
prior. As Clark cautioned, I did feel the nausea which I could have
avoided, but all in all I feel the cleanse was a success. I'm confused as
to why the instructions inferred that I would sleep through the night; those
salts just kept coming! I wonder if my system takes longer than most to
process them. Anyone out there able to sleep through the night? I thought
I'd have an accident if I tried to hold it, so I just kept going to the loo.
Having been warned by several of you how disgusting the epsom salts would
taste, I held my nose and quickly gulped the stuff with a straw, rinsing my
mouth with tap water before unplugging my nose. This save me from the
gag-reflex I knew would occur.
The olive oil/pink grapefruit mixture was surprizingly tasty while I
chugged it but I didn't really appreciate the olive taste when I finished.
It was no biggie, though, and quite an easy task.
